My Current Lady-Hating Ways Are Giving Me A Big...
I grew up with a mother who worked, a lot. Other women were my caretakers for a very long time. Young, college educated women were always our nannies. They were usually beautiful and confident and fun and well-spoken. I’m beginning to think this wasn’t a coincidence. I think my mother (wisely) wanted to give me more role models, other than herself. I looked up to my mother and I tried...
Sticking with 60+ episodes worth of Ally...
Yeah boy. Play me out.
Summer Evening Routine
Very little variation.
leave work
sit in traffic and lament heat, woe is me
listen to Marketplace, dream about Kai Ryssdal, imagine how I’d make him fancy dinners and pour him a strong drink every night because Kai doesn’t expect it, so it’s a pleasure … I could go on about Kai’s and my life forever …
make a phone call/text or two to see if anyone is up for...

Worth reading Sara’s post and the original post and comments thread. I think this happens often with any sexuality topic. This is not specifically related to Jen Fong but my perception of how the topic of sex is treated, which is that it’s seen as somehow “less than,” cheap and easy, as in, “sex sells” (please see my royalty statements if you want the truth on that score), somehow base or...

“i’d rather swim in pee than plan a wedding with this woman”

No surprise here: I am WAY into Bentley. Ugh. Me and assholes = togetha foreva.
Goodbye long weekend, I miss you already.
Annoyed and I don’t know why. Don’t you hate that feeling? I had a great weekend, got some mojo back which was majorly necessary, but maybe I’m stressed about my work week? My feelings that were hurt (my feelings, MY FEELINGS) from last week are still hurt and that blows. I guess I have to give it time.
I’m glad I got to spend time with Kathleen and Alex this weekend and...

““Don’t be too hard on her, Stuart. She means well.”
“I’m not being hard on...”
– I’m reading (audiobooking) Gone With the Wind for the first time in my entire life. The Tarleton twins are such proto-fratbros! Also, are you supposed to hate Scarlett or is that just another of my failings as a Southern lady? Because so far she is kind of a little shit. (via rachael-maddux)

monokini
Y’all. This spring, I knew I wanted monokinis. MONO. KINI. And let me say. I was right to want this! They’re soooo awesome. If you don’t care about tan lines, which I don’t. Someone said but then you’ll look weird naked. Um no because when I’m naked, it’d be hard for to not focus on one central element. And who cares if I look like an idiot. But anyways,...
yesterday!
So Sunday we went to the W hotel in Midtown and got a cabana at the pool because our friend Adam had friends in town. It was awesome and fancy. We had our own personal cabana boy waiter, and an ipod docking station and snuck in booze but also bought booze of course. And then after we went to Fox Bros and ate disgusting amounts of food, then ended up out in the Highlands. It was such a great...
DROGO
Y’all… Just watched last night’s Game of Thrones. Khal Drogo, I’d like to be the moon of your life, but maybe don’t rape all the women? Also: PENIS y’all.
Watching Showtime's Gigolos for the first time.
nudawn:
I’m having reverse Pretty Woman syndrome cause I want to save that single dad from his life and buy him pretty outfits and snap a necklace box on his fingers and rescue him from a fire escape.
Do it girl. Save him!
“I appeal to you, dudebros, to think not of women’s rights—that can...”

A really good open letter and something I’ll never understand: you want to fuck women? Why are you an asshole to women then? WTF.
“Ally McBeagle! I will never get over this”

I’m still flummoxed!

Hint: It doesn’t appear to be the person many are defending on social media against Urban Outfitters.
James Avery has a similar design that dates back to 2004
Here’s where things get complicated.
I just thought everyone stole the idea from Jane Seymour.
I’ve been seeing these for years. It’s not original to the person who flipped out all over tumblr...
Responsible Purchases
On my lunch break, I just bought a fabric steamer (this one!), so I can finally stop being wrinkly everywhere I go AND I bought a huge sun hat, so protect my almost 28 year old face from harmful UV rays. Then I called my mother and told her about how I’m an adult. Which probably negates all this.
I also tried on about 7 Target bathing suit tops and in the largest size (XL), none really fit...
Flow.
I do not know why I’m forcing myself to watch all 100 episodes of Ally McBeal, BUT I AM. I’m somewhat of a emotional masochist so that’s gotta be it. Currently on Episode 53 and Billy just died and Ally’s turning 30 and she’s flipping out and shit. And it’s turning me into a sadist, I just want to hold her down and slap her silly.
Too much lady time, being a...

Yo, ATL weather?
You’re gonna need to GO FUCK YOURSELF.
I am out of vodka, ok? OK? And I left work early (5:30) to avoid the storm. As I parked at Green’s to pick up supplies (vodka, soda, Andre, maybe tequila? I don’t know. I just don’t know.) And as I parked, the skies opened up like crazy. I get soaked walking into the store and they’d been hit by lightning and Green’s was...

I could have written this, but I didn’t. If you’d like a glimpse of why I bitch about my tits all the time but also love them but also want to chop them off, go here.
And yes, they make the whole alphabet of bras… I’m currently sporting a 32G. Holla!

So I heard on the radio this morning that half of all Americans (I’m guessing this is some sort of statistical estimate because, you know, I wasn’t asked) wouldn’t be able to come up with 2,000.00 in 30 days.
I could but I’m fortunate enough to be able to have savings. But I was thinking about…

FYI: some people are careful 'bout their internet...
The amount of internet stalking I have done this afternoon has only allowed me to find out where a certain person is a. from (town-wise) and b. where they went to college. Well I also found their address but I do not care where they live. And I already knew where they worked. No twitter, no nothing. The Google and I have gone round and round.
It must be so much more satisfying to try to dig up...

Great piece by Clarisse Thorn, reposted at Jezebel (…)
Being a sex and S&M writer sometimes increases my performance anxiety. Occasionally I’ll meet guys who seem to think I am equipped to give any man the Night of His Life-and that this is my goal at all times. Sometimes I feel like I should grab certain guys by the shoulders and shake them and say, “I am not your sex-crazy...
nerdshares asked: Wait a minute, "Maybe not at 30...but if not, then I sure hope to hell you still keep your good looks into your 40's....otherwise good luck!" MAXIMUM LULZ. Well, it's Julia's blog. Like attracts like, I guess.
