Parlour

Parlor (or parlour) is a name used for a variety of different reception rooms and public spaces in different historical periods.

Etymology

Parlour derives from the Old French word parloir or parler ("to speak"), and entered English around the turn of the 13th century. In its original usage it denoted a place set aside for speaking with someone, an "audience chamber".

Usage history

The first known use of the word to denote a room was in medieval Christian Europe, when it designated the two rooms in a monastery where clergy, constrained by vow or regulation from speaking otherwise in the cloister, were allowed to converse without disturbing their fellows. The "outer parlour" was the room where the monks or nuns conducted business with those outside the monastery. It was generally located in the west range of the buildings of the cloister, close to the main entrance. The "inner parlour" was located off the cloister next to the chapter house in the east range of the monastery and was used for necessary conversation between resident members.

Parlor (film)

Anarchy Parlor is a 2014 horror film and the directorial debut of Devon Downs and Kenny Gage, both of whom also wrote the film's script. It had its world premiere on October 14, 2014 at the Screamfest Horror Film Festival and was shot over a 20 day period in Vilnius, Lithuania.

Synopsis

Amy (Tiffany DeMarco) is traveling through Europe with her friends while she's trying to figure out what she wants to do with her life. The group decides to take a stop in Lithuania to party and drink to their heart's desire. When Amy's friend Brock (Ben Whalen) meets the seductive Uta (Sara Fabel), he is quick to take Uta up on her offer to visit "The Parlor", the tattoo parlor where she works as an apprentice. She speaks so highly of her boss, referring to him only as Artist (Robert LaSardo), to the point where Amy and the others think that it would be fun to check things out and maybe get some ink themselves. However they're unaware that Artist and Uta have extremely sinister plans for them and that The Parlor may be their final destination.

Y Las Sombras Qudaran Atras

by: Barilari

Haber llegado aquí
Fue un sueño tal vez,
Y tu recuerdo hoy late en mi corazón...
A un millón de años luz
Me encuentro hoy de tí
Dulce angel de la soledad...
Dame una señal
Tal vez todo pueda cambiar
Quisiera tener otra oportunidad...
Mas allá del espacio y el tiempo
Donde nadie ha estado iré
Tu corazón alcanzaré...
Vive hoy sin temer al mañana
Y harás el sueño realidad
Las sombras quedarán atrás...
La lluvia y el dolor
Todo se desvaneció
En una mirada de tus grandes ojos...
Hoy vuelvo a sonreir
Las lágrimas ya no están,
Quiero escuchar tu voz,
Dulcemente...
Dame una señal
Tal vez todo pueda cambiar.
Y quisiera estar a tu lado una vez más.
Más allá del espacio y el tiempo
Donde nadie ha estado iré
Tu corazón alcanzaré...
Vive hoy sin temer al mañana
Y harás el sueño realidad
Las sombras quedarán atrás...
Más allá del espacio y el tiempo
Donde nadie ha estado iré
Tu corazón alcanzaré...
Vive hoy sin temer al mañana
Y harás el sueño realidad
