You think you’re hot shit, huh?

You think you’re hot shit, huh?

My very best friend over at Fashion, evolved was bragging tonight about all the great stuff she gets to try out. Vendors just THROW stuff at her, like she’s some sort of green eco-queen. Blah.

Ok, she is a green eco-queen, but that’s beside the point.

She is just jealous of my FABULOUS shirt from AlphaWomen. I’m wearing it right now. It sparkles like diamonds and makes me happy. Poo on your sustainable rubber purses, Q!! I get stuff, too, so there.

Ahem. I took a few minutes to think about products I could highlight here. I don’t expect anything from anyone, but what the hell, right?

So, up for discussion tonight is… The Gay McCain shirt!

McCain is Gay!

No, really, I’m kidding. Kind of. Would you wear that? I think I might, come to think of it. I don’t plan on voting for him, but he looks so happy and full of life, smiling in front of that rainbow.

Anyway, I ran across this…

I’m confused.

What is a cock clock? I’ve heard of a peter meter, but a cock clock? What the hell? I sat and thought about this, while drinking my “water” (gin and tonic) and came up with the following…

  • You can maybe use it to time sex, because if you have the desire to time it, it must not be that great and maybe you need a quirky clock to get you through those 3 minutes of bliss.
  • Maybe its so you can say, “hey, its 2:19, let’s get some COCK!”
  • Perhaps your rooster is a little forgetful?
  • Could it be for your loaded god complex, helping you know when to cock it and pull it?
  • Oh, wait, no! Its 7:48, time to cock those eyebrows!

Ok, so yeah, help me out here. Please.

Just another reason to love September!

Just another reason to love September!

Kids are in school, its not as hot as August, my birthday pops up and… Bisexuality Day arrives!

Everyone has a day, right? Like National Banana Day, or “Don’t Shoot the Messenger” Day.

So, mark your calendars for September 23, 2008! Are there any events in your area? Do you have a cool flag that looks like this?

Bi-Flag

I don’t, but I have a pirate flag. I hope that will work.

(Thank you to BiFocus.com for the image I’ve so blatently stolen)

Is there anything better?

Is there anything better?

I’m at my weekly Starbucks rejuvenation appointment, right now. I am leisurely sipping on my caramel frappuccino, contemplating what to blog about while I have this time to myself. I’ve been reading blogs and articles for inspiration, enjoying the night air and trying not to think about how my new bra is accentuating how small my boobs have become.

Its a glorious night, and then here he comes… the boy with the guitar.

I really didn’t even notice it at first (because of the bra thing) but then I hear light notes of music that seem to float through the air like emerald stardust. I look over and… there he is.

He also sings, sweetly and softly.

I am never leaving.

The horrors of women

The horrors of women

Daily, I interact with over 100 women (that I know of). Granted, its mostly online, so its not a face-to-face interaction, but it works for me. I read forums, blogs, and social networking sites, studying the lives of these glorious ladies, learning that as different as we are, we all have a lot of similarities.

I have been following the struggle of an all-women site, www.alphawomen.com, and its recent “slap in the face” by another site, www.gammawomen.com. It seems that Gamma thinks that Alpha is promoting the wrong ideals, and therefore is wrong. Now, Gamma is headed by a corporation, which makes me twitch right off the bat. I think that in itself is metaphorically saying that women have to be owned by “stuff” in order to function. I’m just not the woman who says she has to have a certain label in order to have a happy life, so I run from corporate America.

I like AlphaWomen, there are some very smart ladies there and I always get a laugh or read something that makes me think. I’m a fan of the Alpha site, and the concept of the Alpha woman.

What is an Alpha Woman?
An Alpha Woman is a decision-maker who is committed to her goals and dreams. She may be opinionated and unafraid to speak her mind, but she is considerate, open-minded, and respectful of others. She is always ready to learn and willing to take on any challenge. Most importantly, she is dedicated to growing as a person, as a valuable and contributive member of society.

More than that, though, is the huge illustration that this situation provides – the unhappy woman and how she tears down other women. We just don’t have to be like that. There are hundreds of sites, groups or clubs, institutions of learning and success that focus on uplifting women, on making us whole and helping us see that we are more than credit cards and uteruses.

Women, eventually you will all have to see that our strength doesn’t come from knocking each other down, but from holding each other up. My homework for you is to figure out what it is about yourself that makes you tingle, and let me know.
