			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4><strong>The event on March 24, 2012, 5-10 p.m. will feature </strong><strong>Fort Worth artist, Marshall Harris</strong><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-3062" title="The Hand That Feeds with me(SM)" src="http://www.thevelvetbox.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/The-Hand-That-Feeds-with-meSM.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="340" /></h4>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>FORT WORTH, TEXAS (FEBRUARY 16, 2012)</strong> - Celebrating the romantic spirit of the American west, The Velvet Box (2917 Morton Street in Fort Worth&#8217;s West 7th District) presents a one-evening showing of work by Fort Worth artist Marshall Harris, on Spring Gallery Night, 5:00 &#8211; 10:00 p.m., March 24, 2012. Offering an exhibit called &#8220;Ride &#8216;Em Cowboy!&#8221; the west-side retailer, known for inspiring passion, invites visitors to stop by the store to enjoy art, cowboy-worthy food and music, along with Texas wines and Rahr &amp; Sons beer.</p>
<p>Harris&#8217;s artworks will include four surprisingly large pieces in what has become his distinctive signature medium, graphite on Mylar. The quartet of sumptuous, photo-suggestive drawings capture romanticized, storied elements of the Old West, stirring up nostalgia for a cowboy world of long ago. All of the original works and prints are for sale.</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>&#8220;B.F. Smith &amp; Son Saddle Sketch #1&#8243;</strong> is a lush image of an antique Rose Bowl Parade saddle.</li>
<li><strong>&#8220;M.L. Leddy Saddle Sketch #2&#8243;</strong> is another image of a vintage saddle, this from the legendary leather-crafters in Fort Worth.</li>
<li><strong>&#8220;Carcass&#8221;</strong> is another oversized work, a dramatic depiction of three deeply worn saddles from the backbreaking La Frontera ranching region of southwest Texas, shown suspended by ropes.</li>
<li><strong>&#8220;The Hand That Feeds&#8221;</strong> looks nearly like a fantasy but is the sensuous image of an exquisitely engraved antique revolver as an extension of the decorously tattooed hand and arm of its owner, a Fort Worth restaurateur whose family has worked in the firearms industry for generations (and now operates the smash-hit Revolver Taco Lounge).</li>
</ol>
<p>These works epitomize the spirit of Harris&#8217;s singularly riveting drawings. His objective, he says, is to &#8220;persuade the observer to study an object the way I do when I’m creating my work, and it’s a way of &#8216;seeing&#8217; that he or she quite possibly has never before experienced, to demand intense inspection and consideration of every nuance, the fold and flaw, bump and bruise, cut and scratch, down to the very last stitch  or hair follicle. It&#8217;s that introspection which grants relevance and realism to everything in our world.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Ride &#8216;Em, Cowboy!&#8221; easily conjures up notions of the lusty wild west, perfect for rhapsodizing over while enjoying lively music, food, drink and shopping at the Velvet Box in West 7th.</p>

<p>This week is all about <a title="love yourself week" href="http://fitbottomedgirls.com/tag/love-yoself-week/">loving yo’self</a>, but we’d be remiss not to mention a few fun frisky fitness facts about getting your sexy on—be it with yourself or with someone else. So read on for how sex and fitness sort-of, kind-of go hand in hand!</p>
<p>5 Sexy Fitness Facts</p>
<p><strong>1. Working out increases your sex drive.  </strong>According to a recent survey by Wet (a line of personal lubricants), more than 67 percent of respondents said that a workout noticeably increases their sex drive.</p>
<p><strong>2. People go to the gym to check each other out.  </strong>Like it or not, the dudes at the gym are probably checking you out. According to the same study, more than 71 percent of people admitted to scoping out hotties at the gym.</p>
<p><strong>3. Most of us like to work out with a romantic interest.</strong>  In fact, more than 61 percent of survey respondents prefer to work out with a buddy. And of those, more than 58 percent like to exercise with a romantic interest. We like to say: Couples who work out together stay together! Or at least are both healthier.</p>
<p><strong>4. Exercise makes us feel more attractive—and do better in the sack.</strong>   Almost 40 percent of people are motivated to exercise because being in shape makes them feel attractive, while more than 16 percent of people admitted to working out because it increases their sexual stamina.</p>
<p><strong>5. Fit people don’t just date fit people.  </strong>Those who aren’t gym rats need not fret, according to the survey. More than 86 percent of survey respondents said they would date someone who doesn’t work out.</p>
<p><strong>Do any of these sexy fitness facts and survey results ring true for you?</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Wet is currently available in 62 countries and at The Velvet Box!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Saturday, March 24th, 5-10pm</h2>
<h2>Velvet Box off W7, 2917 Morton Street</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Free Rahr Beer</strong></li>
<li><strong>Texas Wines</strong></li>
<li><strong>Live Music</strong></li>
<li><strong>Catering by Taco Heads</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>Harris’s artworks will include four surprisingly large pieces in what has become his distinctive signature medium, graphite on Mylar. The quartet of sumptuous, photo-suggestive drawings capture romanticized, storied elements of the Old West, stirring up nostalgia for a cowboy world of long ago. All of the original works and prints are for sale.</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>“B.F. Smith &amp; Son Saddle Sketch #1″</strong> is a lush image of an antique Rose Bowl Parade saddle.</li>
<li><strong>“M.L. Leddy Saddle Sketch #2″</strong> is another image of a vintage saddle, this from the legendary leather-crafters in Fort Worth.</li>
<li><strong>“Carcass”</strong> is another oversized work, a dramatic depiction of three deeply worn saddles from the backbreaking La Frontera ranching region of southwest Texas, shown suspended by ropes.</li>
<li><strong>“The Hand That Feeds”</strong> looks nearly like a fantasy but is the sensuous image of an exquisitely engraved antique revolver as an extension of the decorously tattooed hand and arm of its owner, a Fort Worth restaurateur whose family has worked in the firearms industry for generations (and now operates the smash-hit Revolver Taco Lounge).</li>
</ol>
<p>These works epitomize the spirit of Harris’s singularly riveting drawings. His objective, he says, is to “persuade the observer to study an object the way I do when I’m creating my work, and it’s a way of ‘seeing’ that he or she quite possibly has never before experienced, to demand intense inspection and consideration of every nuance, the fold and flaw, bump and bruise, cut and scratch, down to the very last stitch  or hair follicle. It’s that introspection which grants relevance and realism to everything in our world.”</p>
<p>“Ride ‘Em, Cowboy!” easily conjures up notions of the lusty wild west, perfect for rhapsodizing over while enjoying lively music, food, drink and shopping at the Velvet Box in West 7th.</p>
