Absolutely! All the lovelies from everywhere else go to LA. Agreed.

Well, here's my notion on the Professor. If it makes GoodK happy and Gad happy and successful in relationships then go for it. If not, lose the advice.

Yes, I do trust Blixa. I am willing to hear her full appraisal of my looks if we ever cross paths in real life. I just better not hear her call me an "assclown"

For the record, I'm not wearing a hat right now.

As to the hat issue...I used to wear a hat all the time, cause I didn't like my hair. At some point (also coinciding with a change in barber) I stopped wearing a hat and don't really give it much thought. Let go of the hat...let it go. :P

All of this talk about “gold-diggers” reminds me of an experience that left me bitter for a time. There have been few moments in my life when a woman has made the “first move” and approached me to initiate conversation. A couple of years back I went to a small birthday party for Kelly Osborn (I can’t remember if it was at Body English or Rain[?]). The uppermost balcony inside the club was roped off for the party. There were only maybe 30 people allowed in the area.

As a side story, when the rope was first opened for me and my friends to enter, at the first little booth to the right was Paris Hilton with a bunch of little people. Strange.

My two friends and I eventually decided to venture outside of the roped area to go to a small sidebar that was on the same VIP level. The moment we stepped out of the roped area, three girls approached my friends and I, and began asking us our names, etc. I wasn’t all that interested in meeting a “Club girl,” and assumed (as both my friends are easy on the eyes) that the girls were more-so interested in them than I. So, I continued on to the sidebar. As I parted ways with my friends, I was continually approached by women. Again, and again, and again. However, the frequency at which I was approached dwindled as I moved further away from the roped off area (i.e. as I moved away from women who saw us in the private VIP B-day party area). Eventually there were no women approaching me.

After a while, my friends and I made our way back into the B-day party area and hung out there for a while (after all, they had carafes of about anything you could want to drink… for free of course [as opposed to the $12 cranberry juice I got at the side bar… sheesh!]). We ended up leaving the roped off area several times that night, and each time we left, the same pattern repeated itself. A number of women would approach me as I left the area, and the number that approached me decreased in number (until no one approached me) as I moved away from the roped off area.

I don’t think I had been that bitter at the world since I had read Catcher In The Rye.

Men though, are essentially no different. The superficiality that some women have towards those of wealth is repeated by men, although the superficiality is of a different type. Did Anna Nicole’s wealthy aged husband marry her for her abilities at substantive conversations? *shrugs* We all have those things that we are attracted to. Some are attracted to someone who can financially provide for them. Some are attracted to fame. Some are attracted to power. And some (a very small minority) are attracted to people who are neither well-to-do, nor in any position of renown or influence, but can still make the world stand still on a quiet evening while sitting upon a swing at a park attempting to revive the simpler times of youth that have been lost to the unfortunate sequence of time.

And some, just like German porn...

LOL. My copy of The Jungle by Upton Sinclair made me similarly bitter.

Steussy...will you marry me?

German..eh. I like a little plot in my porn. So it's gotta be English.

I'll give you a hint: The Amy Winehouse thread had absolutely nothing to do with her music . . .

But I'm still waiting for Shades to apologize for what he said about Amy.


Take a good, hard look at a photo of her and then tell whether an apology is necessary. :-)

I never use the term assclown, and I think a small bear-like dog the most divine accessory possible.... *bats eyes at Stuess outside of the velvet ropes*

Stuess...you've NEVER, and I mean NEVER seen a velvet rope situation like the ones at NYC clubs. Its a strange, strange scene, both celeb-o-centric and (ostensibly) meritocratic (the doorman is after all a cross between an editor and a composer seeking to produce the most exquisite possible assemblage of disparate elements).

Of course, it's often just a total bore.

It was the flinging of the male pig-part, wasn't it ('tis what made me bitter).
