Your Cheatin’ Heart
Bam! It hits when you least expect it (like the flu, when your defenses are down there are cracks in your armor when you’re healthy, your walls are harder to penetrate). This, in itself, should […]
Name Dropper
So you know celebrities? You have their numbers in your phone? You have “contacts”? You know what the inside of their homes look like from personal experience? You aren’t special. One incredibly …

On Turning Off the Comments Sections and Beating Back the Internet Trolls
When I was growing up decades ago, trolls were mildly scary creatures from folklore. Today, of course, the term has taken on a different meaning; you’re likely aware that ‘trolls’ are antagonizers w….
Cult and Conscience of Jewelry
Year after year, we women are quick to purchase that pair of Chloe trousers or Burberry bag we’ve been coveting. Why? Because we need it, of course. But buying jewelry is a different story. Becaus…

He Was
From the moment I saw a picture of him I knew I had to have him; he had these brown eyes that would melt your heart, so full of live it was ridiculous. He acted […]
Go East, Young Woman
I come from a long line of adventurers. My ancestors left Wales when quite young, with almost no money in their pockets and the dream of becoming Americans. Lots of people probably had the same […]
Amy on Summer Fun (and Not So Fun)
School’s out, school’s out, teachers let the monkeys out! I actually overheard my Mom singing this once. People born more than 30 years ago are just plain strange, but I’ve been thinking about sum….
I Get Email, and Not All of It’s Nice
Some of it is REALLY not nice. Not that I don’t expect it. After all, I’m an escort and I speak on controversial issues. And my intention is to be compelling, to provoke thought and […]
Dear Travel Slob
Not to sound like your mother, but really? Is that what you’re wearing on your trip to Europe? Yes, I’m talking to you, young lady in those low-riding, sparkly-derriered jeans and tube top. It’s a […]
I Lied Four Times This Week. This is Remarkable Because I Don’t Lie
No one could be like you and no one could be exactly like me, but you may also be on the same journey as me. Unlike me, you may be a man. Maybe you fit […]

Leave Me Alone, I’m Hungry!
