housingworksbookstore asked: Tumblr won't let me answer, so here's my response: http://housingworksbookstore.tumblr.com/post/3036749013/it-wont-let-me-answer-my-own-question

Women who write aren’t “writers,” they’re “lady writers.”
“Lady writers” have an intrinsically different response to that question from male (“gentleman”?) writers, based solely on their...

Argh, stop it! Stop assuming I want everyone to know everything I do at all moments! And especially stop publishing that information BY DEFAULT. Shockingly, I may not want everyone in my address book to be privy to the information that I recently bought $20 latex pasties. And what...

When all was well I dodged off [Ed. note: Not a thing that people say] as fast as possible but was still late to the 9 am workout.

So, this is one of the many awesome things I’m doing this month (part of Project 2011: More Awesome Than 2010). Today was the first class and it was so much fun! We learned to strip out of a boa, gloves, bra, and to do tassel twirls. Oh, yes. Tassel twirls. THAT was hilarious. Hee! Also, I learned I need some sparkly high heels….
