Shangri-La has become synonymous with any earthly paradise but particularly a mythical Himalayan utopia, a permanently happy land, isolated from the outside world. In the novel Lost Horizon, the people who live at Shangri-La are almost immortal, living years beyond the normal lifespan and only very slowly aging in appearance. \ \ Here Marie McCray has found her little piece of utopia, that little corner where she can be alone to explore her body and her sexuality. It’s only after she reaches orgasmic levels of pleasure that Micheal Vegas enters to make passionate love to Marie. He's there to give her sexual pleasures only experienced in Shangri-La.
