Naughty Neighbors
My neighbors don’t know me. They don’t know my name, where I work, or even a phone number to call if something unfortunate happens. My home is my personal sanctuary where I can walk around naked, sing silly songs to my couch-potato bulldog and watch cheesy ‘90s movies without being judged by the middle-aged families...
Working Out to the Beat Within
Yesterday, I was running down a California beach boardwalk in a running bra and name-brand shorts and shoes. The beating sun brought out the highlights in my swishing ponytail as I flashed a smile at those I passed, my long bronzed legs stretching gracefully in perfect stride. I felt absolutely like a fit celebrity with...
Spring Fever in the Morning; Fever All Through the Night
The season when the shadows shorten, the days get longer and nature stirs is approaching: Spring. Our planet is increasing its tilt toward the sun as we speak, and the snow, frost and ice will soon lose the battle between the two warring seasons. If you’re scratching your head, thinking “Spring?” and trying to remember...
Sociology with a Side of Eggs
This morning my husband and I had a little extra time, so we decided to go to our favorite breakfast place. The one with faux sausage and organic eggnog lattes. They were closed. So we went to a down-home Southern cooking kind of place instead. We live in the South. The restaurant was nestled in...
Hey Mister, Throw Me Something: Mardi Gras in Mobile, Alabama
Mardi Gras literally means “Fat Tuesday” in French, but it took me a full day to discern the true meaning of the festivities. Becoming a part of Mardi Gras in Mobile gave me a deeper appreciation for the South and the traditions that were born here. It’s a complete culture, a festive lifestyle where magic...
The KGB, Vampires, War… Just Another Day at the Winter Olympics
We thought no ice skating drama could ever, ever top the Nancy Kerrigan/Tonya Harding story. Ever. Since any other instance of ice skating drama is now seemingly unfit for media attention, I’ve been a little disappointed. Until I saw this piece aired by NBC about Russian figure skater Evgeni Plushenko. I’m absolutely stunned. I had...
The DMV is Fun Again!
There’s something universally naughty and interesting about sex in public. Remember when Marge and Homer went back to the mini golf windmill where they first got it on? They found out that public sex was the best thing to happen to their marriage. Sex in public takes me back to good times in parked cars,...
You, Your Vibrator and the TSA: how to bring sex toys on an airplane
Remember the good old days when you could throw your lubricant, sex toy cleaner and giant honking dildo in your carry-on bag and not really worry about it? My friend, those days are long gone. I appreciate air travel safety on all levels – terrorists suck, go America. So TSA, I’m willing to work with...
10 Fun and Useful Things to Do with a Vibrator
Vibrators, as we all know, are one of the greatest inventions ever. But do you really know how useful they can be? Tape a toothbrush to it. Who says you can’t have a toothbrush with a dual-action head? Give a “gag gift” that’s really not a gag. You know the bride-to-be is going to be...
