Based on the past history of male behavior, though, I don't think you "viagra lovin babes" have anything to worry about since you all know that men make irrational decisions when dealing with that body part.
So much for the hearing.
In fact, many men might consider it a blessing to be able to perform and not hear a word you're saying. You may want to point that out as a benefit to him if you see your guy wavering when you're in the mood.
Spring has finally sprung and as much as its arrival might have excited me in the past, this year, winter’s final curtsey means only one thing: yard work and lots of it. Once upon a time this was my ex-husband’s department; nothing pleased him more than pruning and mulching, trimming and mowing and clearing away the detritus of winter. It was one of his only redeeming qualities, which is sad, but there you have it.
OK — I don't mean to brag but… How close was I to Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck performing at Madison Square Garden?
5th row center gets you this shot!
And…also got me shockingly yanked from behind by my collar by security who told me I was pushing it when I snuck up this close with my iPhone. LOL. Imagine?
I had a blast feeling 20 with my fun Divorced Dad Date who generously invited me to one of the greatest musical events I've ever seen! A Total WOW. I'm someone who appreciates genius in many forms and this was the guitar version of OMG. Their entire playlist was special but we were especially appreciative of these guys taking an old classic — my mother's favorite ,‘Moon River’ — and bringing it to life their way. Go figure. Just amazing.
I'd be lying if I said I don't love watching Charlie Sheen in "Two and Half Men". I'd also be lying if I said I was surprised to hear about Charlie's recent domestic violence and subsequent arrest in Aspen on Christmas Day for threatening his wife with a knife. It was easy to visualize him playing that role too.
You see, leopards don't change their stripes, and wives sometimes get amnesia in daylight.
The reports said it all started when Brooke Mueller, mother of twin baby boys, told their daddy Charlie Sheen she wanted a divorce. Some Christmas present. If you’re Charlie's girl, that gets you an hour of physical torture.
Yes, Charlie's got a dark side. Brooke knew it and married him anyway. Trade off. The upside? She hooked a sexed-up superstar actor with loads of cash and gave birth to twin mini-Charlies. The downside? The half of Charlie where he pins you to a bed and puts a knife to your throat. It wasn't the first time, according to the 911 tape.
‘Tis the season to count our blessings. No doubt, many of us having experienced (or brushed close) to so much mayhem and madness in 2009. Yet one gift stands out from the rest of our many blessings this year.
As our iconic culture winds towards its inevitable halt, we scramble to redefine our lives, reclaim our values and reprioritize what’s really important. It seems Love really and truly is in the air. A new kind of humanity is emerging from the ashes, people gathering together as we leave behind the ME generation for the greater WE, learning its song as we clear away the wreckage and join hands for a better tomorrow, right now! And what could be more delicious than fulfilling our heart’s greatest desires…together?
Someone once said music is what happens in between the notes. I say the collective soul is writing a new song! Each of us is bringing our unique gifts and genius, ready to celebrate the freedom of being we have fought for, free to create a world that reflects what is in our hearts and imaginations, bridging at last heaven and earth.
On New Years Eve I will be wearing red underwear and sleeping with a cabbage leaf. You'd think I could do better with the red underwear and all, but hey — I'm banking on 2010 to be a better year.
According to my “legendary'” socialite gal pal from Texas, Jeanette Longoria, if you want love in the coming year, wear red panties on New Years Eve. If you want to ensure money all year long - wrap money in a cabbage leaf and put it under your pillow on Dec 31st. If you want both - well then do both. I'd just be a little careful not to confuse where the two items go as things might turn out very differently.
Why should we listen to Jeanette? At 82 she's still hot, hotly involved, and lives like royalty.
Speaking of royalty, she once took two heads of cabbage with her to Morocco when she spent a New Years Eve with the King. She swears everyone in the Palace was clutching a cabbage leaf at the stroke of midnight that year. As far as I know, money hasn't been a problem for the Kingdom since.
