New Year's Resolutions

I will get more exercise, lose weight (at least 10 pounds), and try to write more serious stuff.  And get my screwed-up life in order.

And revisit these resolutions each month, noting progress and regressions.

Ironic Promise Ring

The practice of wearing a "promise" ring or a "purity" ring seems to be coming on in the Deep South, of all places.

This is the ordinary "promise" ring: worn by an unmarried teen girl to signify that she will abstain from sex until married. In this case, the ironic promise ring is worn by a girl either as a cover-up for sexual activities, or in the pure ironic sense. In either case, she's doing it!

Sharon and Bill were having sex like bunnies; but she masked that fact by wearing her ironic promise ring.

The wearer of this one looks so winsome and vulnerable.  It would win over the hearts of most everyone.

Real Life Has That Side, Too

Too Much Information

I wish I had the nerve to wear this!

The Infamous Grad School Fifteen

The Freshman Fifteen is enshrined in college lore: the empirical fact that college students tend to show a significant weight gain during the fesshman year.  Some of this is due to poor food choices; some is due to cafeteria or all-you-can-eat settings.

Less is known about the Infamous Grad School Fifteen.  There is a corresponding similar weight gain that comes with reaching legal age for buying beer.

Oh dear!  I need to work last Friday's six-pack off.

This one is adorable!

This one is daring!  I don't have the nerve to wear a slingshot bikini,

even with lingerie tape.

Marguerite Steinheil

Marguerite Steinheil was a scandalous, if not widely known, footnote in history.  She had more than one scandal linked to her.

He most famous of which involved French President Félix Faure.  It seems that Faure died suddenly from apoplexy on 16 February 1899, at a critical juncture while engaged in sexual activities in his office with 30-year-old Marguerite Steinheil.   It has been widely reported that those activities were oral sex, but their exact nature was in fact unknown and such reports may have stemmed from various puns made up afterward by his political opponents.

A French newspaper, fearing reprisals, published a sanitized versioin of Faure's death, but entitled it 'The Official Version.'

Marguerite must have given one hell of a blow job, in my opinion.

Sex as a Political Strategy

I found this curious poster from the 1960's.  Apparently, there was a draft at that time, and a lot of opposition to it.  According to one source who was living at that time, girls who were involved in draft resistance would bestow their favors on guys who decline to register for the draft.

This seems to be a strange promise!  It puts them in a morally questionable category.

The Chet Syndrome

Many of us experience the phenomenon of having a sadistic douchebag older brother or sister, like Wyatt's brother in the popular television program "Weird Science."

 

My brother was so like that.  Parents should space the period between maing babies longer so as to minimize the impact of older siblings.

VERY daring!

Is Nostalgia Essentially a Conservative Impulse?

The admiration of the retro look, the active seeking of old movies or television programs and referring to some long-ago "golden age," isn't this a reflection of reaction?  The Tea Partyites must be really into old movies and the retro look.

An Economic Reason for Going Topfree

Going topless, or topfree, is something that women should consider.

First, obviously, most guys like it.  And that's a plus.

But there's a compelling economic reason to consider too.

You can buy bikini tops and bottoms separately; and it costs less if you have to buy only the bottoms.  French women have known that fact for years.  This means a significant personal savings, because often the separate tops are more expensive.

And remember this: most clothing purchased in the USA was fabricated in foreign countries.  Therefore, any small decrement in clothing costs should translate into a more favorable balance of trade for our country.  Especially when we consider where those bikini tops of made.

I hope President Obama considers this reasoning, and uses his Chief Executive function to encourage women going topfree!

Coping With the Winter

The days are gowing into the shorter ones, and my mood is lowering.  The reason is largely biological, and it calls for some preventive measures. 

I have resolved to step p my exercise, and to take a walk in the sun when it permits (not often).  Otherwise, gain some exposure to artificial sunlight and keep amused.

Partake little of alcohol; it does contribute to being despondent.  And, now and then, have a sex partner.  I need a stable relationship.   We all do.

Turdocracy

This is a government that is intentionally abusive towards the persons autocratically governed; literally, a government that acts like a turd.

This is an interesting concept that may not be that off the mark.  Sometimes governments can be abusive just for abuse's sake.

Yoko.  Absolutely cute.

My Honor Student . . . .

An offshoot of those "My Child is an Honor Student at ___________ School" is that those of us who weren't may be set up for grief from parents.  I remember my mom saying how embarassed she was that she didn't have that bumper sticker on her car.  Accordingly, I swiped one from the school office cabinet and affixed it to mom's car.

Problem solved?

No.  She took it wrong. 

Adults are hard to understand.

Happy St. Lucia's Day!

The Underwear Report

American citizens need more candor in government and social life.  We have too many secrets.  This needs to stop.  In my opinion, we can go a long way towards increasing candor by asking our public officials, both elected and appointed, to reveal what sort of underwear they are wearing.  Briefs or boxers.  Full panties, bikinis, or thongs.  This could be a regular part of the news reports each day.  And let's have a little show-and-tell for verification.

It would teach our officials a little humility.  It would also help the American underwear business, as they would be impelled to but new, attractive underwear.  No politician would wish to reveal that she's wearing knockoff panties from China, or that his briefs are holey!  Obviously, any commandos would in effect be telling the voters that they are untrustworthy. 

Besides, we have a need to know.

What do you think?

Jen In Excelsis

I like Jennifer Aniston.  I mourn the demise of "Friends."  That's all I have to say on this.

We Need to Make a Left Turn Now!

Actually, I wish this country would take a more liberal turn.

I like this one.  The bare midriff is a little daring, but it is cute if I could work up enough fearlessness and fewer inhibitions.
