haute noir

Noir culture designed for the refined classes that is comprised of architectural pieces and other immutable objects that comprise a tableau; contrasted with "low noir" items such as pulp fiction novels and other disposable consumer-oriented items.

High church cathedrals are a predecessor to haute noir as they are immutable pieces of gothic architecture designed for the Catholic church.

Sexploitation Noir

a phrase coined by New York Times contributor, Richard Perez, in describing a dark subgenre of sexploitation, often exemplified by the BDSM inclined so-called "sleaze" paperbacks or pulps of the 1960s and the stag-like "roughies" or violence inclined pre-porn "adult" films and morality tales (also known as "cautionary tales"), which include the work of Russ Meyer ("Lorna," "Mudhoney"), Herschel Gordon Lewis ("Scum of The Earth"), producer David F. Friedman ("The Defilers," "A Smell of Honey, A Swallow of Brine," "A Sweet Sickness"), Mike and Roberta Findlay ("Touch of Her Flesh") and current neo-sexploitation films and books like "Run Bitch, Run" and Perez's own, "Permanent Obscurity: Or A Cautionary Tale of Two Girls and Their Misadventures with Drugs, Pornography, and Death."

Sexploitation noir or the psychosexual black and white grindhouse feature films dominated 42nd Street or "the Deuce" before the arrival of XXX.

Nirah

Having a Nirah in your life is someone you should not let go off. She will be reasonable, considerate and loving towards you. Losing a Nirah will have you regret losing them and will make you come crawling back to them. A Nirah will treat and love you with all the care in the world. She is sexy, fun and will always make you happy. A Nirah will make sure that their boyfriend, best friend or friend is okay before they set their mind on something else. Lose a Nirah and you will lose yourself.

Nirah: "Hey you okay?"
You: "mehhh"
Nirah: "Tell me everything!!"
