Thanks, though on a second reading it is obvious that I still havent worked it all out.

When I was a child- I may have been 9- my mother dragged me and my siblings to a 'Pro-Life Rally' affiliated with our church where we were made to carry signs we did not understand and give people THESE DOLLS after they had been covered in red jello. We carried them in a tin wash bucket. At the same time, we had to…

Free vegetables and fruit would be amazing. I don't follow any sort of 'system' but ever since I was a little girl, if I had any sort of choice whatsoever, my meals were made of vegetables, fruit and meat. No bread. Basically, I eat like a monkey. If someone paid me to do it my brain would probably think it was…

Diet Cherry Dr Pepper is the thing that I miss the most from America, after Trident Bubble Gum flavored gum. In the UK they have Dr Pepper Zero. It is NOT the same!

Over the course of the design process did no one stop and ask, 'Are breasts really a part of the skeletal structure?' There must not have been any women in the room.

About the 'Hexican' doll. My husband just glanced over and said, 'Oh my God! Does she have rib-cage boobs?'

I cannot believe that he got away with it, but I think I know how he did. This is a quote from a conversation that I had with my mother while the trial was going on. I should note that my sister, her daughter, who both of us love with the same fervor that have for each other, is adopted and a PoC. She said, 'And all…

I love working out. I get on the stepper, open my book or my computer and spend a few hours getting sweaty, getting smelly, and working hard on the books. I never talk about it to other people- except occasionally in media interviews because it makes a good hook, so maybe I should say that I never talk about it with fr…

Me too! Kathleen! Rose/Mr Rose! Matteria! Frances! Poor, darling, Frances! Even James (who is, by the way, one of the most tragic, sympathetic, and horrible characters that I have ever encountered) It is such a complex and beautiful story, incredibly wrought.

Also, Fall on Your Knees is a wonderful book that deals with this subject (by lesbian literary author/playwright Anne Marie Macdonald). It begins in Victorian Cape Breton, Canada and finishes in Harlem at the beginning of the Jazz age and involves one of the most touching romances that I have ever read.

I have often thought that the only way I would have been able to survive in previous decades would have been by cutting my hair, dressing snappishly, and pretending to be a man. I know that is not what these lovely ladies are doing. They were fashionable and brave, especially considering that lesbianism was considered…

Old men kiss babies, babies kiss trout.

My admiration of her form made my husband deeply uncomfortable. I think he is afraid that I am going to leave him. He knew what I was when I married him.

They are like eggo waffles, but made out of whipped potato. So, so good, and about a quid a box.

1) Potato Waffles are just the best. Fluffy clouds of crispy, salty deliciousness. Lovely.

2) I have an English Husband and English In-Laws. This is totally accurate. I would add 'That's a bit Cheeky'. Americans think it means 'Thats annoying, but funny.' The English mean, 'Your actions have filled me with an…

I love that they are wearing traditional Welsh hats.

It looks like an apple fritter. They. Are. Orgasmic. My husband went to Texas for two weeks once, discovered a little place called Shiply's Donuts and came back 20lbs heavier. He did save me one.

This is the appropriate smile for a man who spends time thinking of babies masturbating.

Girl dog. Just saying...

I proposed to my husband in front of Michelangelo's drawing of the Sibyl in the National Gallery, London. I gave him a Man-gagement ring inscribed with a (spicy) quote from the Song of Solomon, in Hebrew. Because our families freaked out a bit at this gender bending (although Matt loved it. He wears the ring and brags…
