I’ve had a subscription to Playboy for several years but I find the magazine amusing at times. In the last few years, they’ve discovered such obscure topics like BDSM, ass-worship and today’s topic: Brazilian waxing. It’s a good thing they have their reputation as a literary magazine to fall back on. Playboy’s no sex guide.This month’s issue of Playboy features an article by a woman who gets a Brazilian for the first time. In 2006. And Playboy pays her for her story because apparently it’s news to their readers.
free the twins!
Someone sent me a link to this site, which has a most interesting premise. Called Bra Free, it pretty much gets to the point.
The good doctor, Elizabeth Vaughn, is not an ob-gyn. She’s actually internal medicine and has lots of experience in emergency care. So the fact that she encourages her patients to go bra free is even more interesting. (Her reasons are mostly medical, but I’m focusing on the cosmetic aspect, of course.)
night
My lover has an inexplicable, abiding interest in the Holocaust and what the Nazis did. His explanation is that he’s attempting to understand what and how it happened. I see it as little more than car-accident-watching.
He’s reading a new, well-researched book about Auschwitz. While we’re discussing it, I recommend my copy of Night to him. He doesn’t start on it, so I decided to reread it. It’s been many years since the first and only time I read it and I wanted to be sure of my reasons for encouraging him to read it.
“nonprofits” in the US
I will rarely, if ever again, discuss my nonprofit on this blog. I’ve been offering updates about it on my site and will continue to do updates there. It is a children’s charity and for that reason I do not want it plastered all over this blog or permanently floating all over the Internet (since my site does change and I’ve disallowed archiving, I’m hoping what I write there will not remain).
building a memory website
I reread Hannibal last week (for the umpteenth time). In it, Thomas Harris clearly describes the “memory palace†that Lector built for himself over the years. I haven’t read The Memory Palace of Mateo Ricci because Harris describes the concept clearly.
