This kinda reminds me of the time that the lead singer of M People followed me on Twitter—I think I tweeted that I Jazzercised to Movin' On Up and that the song had helped me through a couple of break ups—and, lo and behold, she saw the message and followed me on Twitter! Then for some reason she unfollowed me—so…
I know right? It was a co-worker of mine and I did get up in her face a bit, telling her that was crazy and cruel. It was then I knew I'd heard it all.
Exactly! I lusted after Duran Duran and Adam Ant as a teen (and adored their music as well), and still tend to favor 'androgynous' men to this day. Beautiful, sensitive, and generally not overbearing; they are sexual, just tend to be more subtle and sultry in their seduction, instead of charging in to throw a gal…
In my community a 30 year old, modestly dressed homemaker and mom went shopping at a grocery store in the middle of the day; in the parking lot she was pulled into a car and raped. I then heard somebody victim blame her because she "obviously wasn't watching what she was doing." At that point I just about lost all…
This reminds me of the time I wrote a reverse version of Beauty and the Beast, Behold the Beauty, with the man as the beauty and the woman as the beast. One blogger told me that I deserved to go to the Hell for Bad Writers for messing with her favorite Stockholm Syndrome fantasy, I mean, romantic fairy tale. I…
We worship at your altar (imagine me attempting a Wayne and Garth era, "We're not worthy!")
The men in my life do the cooking and chores, and it's not at all difficult to persuade them to do so. I just start to lend a hand when cooking a meal, doing laundry, etc., and when they see how seriously I stink at it they get a horrified look on their face and say, "Here, let me do that!" Soon I'm stretched out on…
I have an example of this to end all examples; and I swear every word of this is true. A few years ago I was working in a video store to earn extra cash when I noticed that one customer was coming in every few days and very aggressively flirting with me, asking for my phone number, etc.; one of my female co-workers…
The moment I heard her say "Silva-wahre" and saw those eyes, I knew it was her!:)
Ms. Small's "Pleasures" series helped inspire me to become an erotica author, as did her historicals. RIP to an amazing lady.
The fact remains that—even if I take the time to explain to people that I'm a feminist because I support equality—I still get far too many responses along the lines of "Those dames just need to take a Midol and get laid," "Well women aren't equal to men—read the Bible," "Y'all just need to go back in the kitchen,"…
The dear lady was probably thinking the same thing I was when I first looked at Vogue, at age 10 or so: "OK, I've browsed through about 50 pages of ads now, all starring the same 2-3 gals who forgot to eat this month, and been assaulted by about six stinky perfume samples falling from the pages. Could I please read…
That's fabulous! Kudos to this talented group (now time to be just a bit immature—guy farthest to the left, marry me!:)
How cool is that?:) My brother in law's best friend met him at a gas station while on a big trip with a group of friends; Paul stopped to talk and take a picture with the guys, flashing an adorable smile and thumbs up sign at the camera.
Plus he's the hot one—bonus!:) Seriously, a friend of mine met Paul and says he's very nice.:)
Well personally I do think Bond is the more preferable role model of the two, because at least he beats up on people his own gender and size in defense of his country; he doesn't beat his lovers with belts and warn them not to resist or else he'll bind and gag them. Plus Bond did have a female boss until recently,…
I'll always remember my high school boyfriend raving about "Mockingbird" and saying of Harper Lee, "HE's such a good writer!"
I see what you're saying, but I think she wanted to emphasize the seriousness and gravity of this decision. Sometimes conservatives try to make us believe that—in the eyes of liberal women—the choice to have an abortion is as easy and carefree as choosing a nail color or smoothie flavor for the day; when in truth it…
Looks like we made it!
