Gag Reflex
Of course, I can’t really blame the men. They undoubtedly see right through my shiny veneer. Sure, I’m cute as hell in my Santa hat and boots. My Julia Roberts-style smile shows off many years and dollars’ worth of orthodontia. Can we say Photoshop? I’m not fooling anyone. They read between the lines of my […]
The Ultimate Online Dating Profile
I like to play fair. You might think that this lack o’ cheating has something to do with a moral compass, or some other reasonably positive personality trait, but you would be wrong. That’s right. I do it for selfish reasons. Surprise! (Well, maybe if you’ve read anything I’ve ever written it wouldn’t be that big of a […]
