Beyond Babedom
We're (way) over 40. Deal with it.

Find My Shoes
Saturday, February 27th, 2010
At some point, we all (hopefully) learn to discriminate between the good and the bad. Men, that is. It’s not simply about earning capacity or looks or size (that, my friends, is a post all its own). No; it is about the shoes. And, when I say “shoes,” I am using shoes as a metaphor for “selfish as shit”. (more…)

LSMFT: V- Day and Beyond
Saturday, February 13th, 2010
What gives me the balls to suggest I know the secret to a successful relationship? 24 years of marriage to a man who still tells me he loves me, even after one of our sublime arguments (my favorite is the one we had walking down the aisle at our wedding). Yes, fighting is good for a relationship and is, in fact, one of the rules I suggest be followed by anyone who wants a long, happy one. My rules are easy to remember; as easy as Lucky Strike Means Fine Tobacco. (more…)

Look out, Imelda

What is it about shoe shopping that makes me go into a trance? No, really, when I’m in DSW Shoe Warehouse or Marshall’s shoe department, I look slowly and methodically at each pair, up and down the aisles. Most times I don’t buy any; sometimes I buy several.

You Hated Me? Thanks!
Saturday, June 13th, 2009
Men will never understand this. One woman tells another that, upon first meeting, she “hated” her. And the second woman smiles and says, “Really? Thanks!” Yes, men, this does happen. Every day. It’s as common as women complimenting each other’s shoes and hair. And it’s a sign of affection.
Because when we say, “I hated you,” that means we were jealous. And the reason we were jealous is because we thought they were really attractive. Or skinny. Or shapely. Or. . . you get the gist. Which brings me to the meat of my post: who do we dress for? Heterosexual women want to be attractive to men (I’d like to invite a lesbian sister to join me on this blog for their point of view, so pass this on). We want men to admire us, to desire us, to inspire us. But I believe that most women really dress to impress women.
