Bonus round: Let's See It With Flats!!




In a post about true love last week, I mentioned that MC finds me the most glamorous when I'm at my most human. This is true in a deeply animalistic sense -- he is more adoring, protective, and turned on by me than ever when I'm completely at the mercy of my corporeal self, like when I'm screaming with giggles, sick on the couch, over full from dinner, or exhausted and asleep. This aspect of our relationship might be unexpected, since MC so consumingly loves and appreciates the sexiness of ornamental trappings. MC lights up for my smokey eye makeup, stylish clothes and sky-high heels; he is, after all, my own personal glamor photographer. And yet, despite being the dude who is so viscerally and creatively aroused by these decorations, he is even more moved when all of the embellishments, as well as the control that goes with them, are stripped away.

So it's actually not that surprising that MC always loves it when I switch into flats. He loves it even more when I'm barefoot. :)


I've said it before but it bares repeating: I didn't think love was like this before I met MC. I thought that love, like most things in life, was a slog through mediocrity. Then I was in the wedding of two kickass friends, who were in love in the kind of way I thought only existed in poisonous fiction, and my head exploded. It totally made me open up to what was out there for me. I consequently like seeing reflections of true love in life (or on the internet), and I hope I can provide something similar to anybody who's similarly inclined.

My middle school didn't have dance-a-thons, but MC's did, and I would give my right boob to have been there slow dancing with him to "Lady in Red" by Chris De Burgh  (at the age of...five?) but at least I can wear his t-shirt. And entertain ridiculous fantasies (in which I am magically not five).

Listen to this: Dawes

You should listen to this band, Dawes. They incorporate just a little bit of rhythmic piano and vocal harmony like Fleetood Mac, but without any Mumford and Sons frickafrack bullshit.

Ode to Jane Hargrave



One of my favorite glamour models is Jane Hargrave, an English beauty who appeared in Penthouse and Italian Playboy in the 1970's, and went on to become a wonderful abstract artist. MC, this blog's steadfast photographer and art director, seems to think I bare some kind of resemblance to Ms. Hargrave, so we engineered this little tribute shoot. I didn't have her AMAZING giant, golden eagle belt buckle, but I'll happily take MC on the other end of a lens, rather than Bob Guccione.
