why oh, why?

Why need us for climb pole and hang upside down in boot and short-short for feel sexy? It seem for me that pole dancer can only feel sexy if first imagine self as stripper superstar who perform for benefits of men.

Male gaze is nothing new and for sure no take Svutlana credit for this insight, but it is final too much work for keep up! It seem for me that somebody with arid soul of sadistic MBA is now in charge of what is sexy for all women. And too many of us follow without ask question like what the f..? or why husband no put on Speedo and dance on pole for me? why sound this so absurd?

Svutlana mother just squirt little bit FDS and is good for go. No condone Svutlana use of chemical for mask innate beautful essence of women, but at least back then, be sexy was no full-time job with second-hand benefits.

Earn your right to wear white...

...sounds too boring to be insincere. Insincerity requires something a little bit snarky like Abstinence: Wearing a granny thong helps or Abstinence: You got this far, but this message will deter you from going any further.

Agree with the message, but...

video was like a bad SNL skit.

Planned Parenthood should put Sarah Haskins on the case.

Original article: Chewing the fat

If you can stand another duh...

Frankly, as a sports bra burning, Broadsheet boosting feminist, I don't see implied sexism in the study. It is harder for women to lose weight than men, so why not choose a challenging group to study for the health benefit of all?

I wasn't always fit, but am now and feel stronger in my feminism knowing that Svutlana and I can bench press any man. Over many years of training at the gym I have seen women come and go and come back again much heavier than when they left. As the study confirms, consistency is critical.

Most of the time I curse my introversion, but at the gym it's a blessing. I can bliss out for an hour of cardio or weight training with just me, Tom Jones, Gloria Estefan and Ricky Martin. An extrovert would likely find the same regimen excruciating...as would anyone with a more refined taste in music.

Find a way to move that suits your personality. Apologies for the duh and for repetitive strain of the pronoun "I".

Mystery of the Amazon Chick Lit Cover Up

Wrote a book and chose a cover, which I was able to do because my publisher is small, of a painting by an artist, Denyse Goulet, whom I had admired for many years. It was corporate satire and the cover reflected that with men sitting in various arrogant postures around a boardroom table. If anything, the cover had a masculine feel.

Later, when I searched for my book on Amazon, its cover had miraculously changed: it now featured a pair of shapely legs, a huge briefcase where the skirt should be and stilettos. The cover screamed chick lit.

Still don't know how it happened or who done it, but I think I know why.

It's fine to be a Good Egg but...

There is a big difference between sperm donation and egg donation, the biggest of which is jerking off is pleasurable. The FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) injections that make you produce a baseball team of eggs (I had FSH and it may be safe, but it sure doesn't feel safe) combined with the egg harvesting ritual that doesn't even include a nice dinner or candlelight...

There is nothing sentimental about it. Hope these women are well-compensated.

No let anybody near clit with knife!

If stand in front of mirror and see labia hang down little bit and no like one bit, tuck inside and forget about or use little bit scotch tape. Beside, in Svutlana opinion, vulva is no suppose for look like mail slot: it is suppose for look like feral surprise that find you inside shell and every surprise is different.

Original article: A floor of one's own

Fit for a King?

I honestly can't believe a hotel would call one executive level King with drinks and concierge and the other women's with vanity mirror and 2000 watt hair dryer. It's so Mad Men!!

Svutlana and I went to the Crowne Plaza hotel in Milwaukee (the website, not the actual hotel) and two executive floors are listed without a whiff of hierarchy as well as a suite level with king beds. I suspect king refers to the bed size on the suite level.

Want so much to believe, but...

See picture of Dara Torres with stomach like model on cover of Mens Health. Is this possible with extreme good gene and many million ab crunch or need you little bit help with man juice?

Prefer for think Dara is miracle mommy, but those abs and Ms Bigguns who is very convince with inside informations...maybe if pee in pool, Ms Dara get little bit propulsion.

(Am now complete in mood for read depressing new report on postpartum health, but link goes nowhere...maybe is just Svutlana.)

Was it just my imagination or...

did someone in the audience yell "Show me your tits!" when McCain served up his wife as Ms Buffalo Chip? No wonder she was standing there with her hands in fig leaf position.

Oh, Ms Tracy!

Can understand Svutlana complete why you no like Lifetime carpool likeability poll one bit! It assumes that women are too daft or too superficial to debate issues of economics and geopolitics and must reduce election to shorthand of high school popularity contest.

But on other hand, question is more complex than it appear. Carpool require interpersonal skill, negotiation skill, trustworthiness and ability to respond for emergency, not for mention choice of vehicle that say a lot about candidate position on macroeconomic issue of oil dependence that is of course tie to war in Iraq. It is in fact a deceptively presidential question.

Barack can take wheel of Svutlana carpool.
