P.S. Why does that bright red hair look so good on that model?

VINTAGE BEEFCAKE



"The industry of male beefcake magazines and photos flourished in the 1950's and 60's. It's easy to laugh, looking at these dated photos today of the models in their "posing straps" and barely disguised homoerotic poses, but it's vital to remember how important these images were to a secret, closeted gay community at that time"

Since one of my BFFFFF's is getting married in the Fall, I have been up to my ears in all things wedding lately. But in a good, fun way of course! I quite enjoy event planning. 

Anyhoo, these dresses by Elizabeth Dye rock my face off.

TWISTIN' BY THE POOL WITH MAMMA BISCUIT

Remember Mamma Biscuit? Well, she looks hot in her little swimsuit, and looks like she does Christmas in July as well.

Have you ever secretly hoped of being a Craigslist Missed Connection? Me neither.

That would just be really stupid.

"Though the wolf whistle has long been a way of open and expressive flirtation, it is rarely well received by its female recipients. Those expressing satisfaction of someone’s sexual appeal should use caution, especially in certain situations. In the work place for example, even a seemingly innocent wolf whistle could be deemed sexual harassment"

"Further, depending on the company of the target and how offensive she may find it, a wolf whistler could find himself in an awkward position to say the least".

TEEN-AGE CAN BE A CONFUSIN' TIME

And how confusin' it was.

Raging hormones, hair in funny places, new and strange feelings.

The Girlfriend and Boyfriend magazine looks like a big helper.

So glad it's over.

TO DAD

Today I wanted to give a little shout out to my amazing father, who passed away at the young age of fifty two weeks before Father's Day a year ago.

My heart breaks that he will never get to walk me down the aisle, meet my children,or will never get to call my husband "numb-nuts" or "dick weed". 

He was an incredibly kind, loving,and overprotective dad, and we loved him like crazy until the end. I hope everyone enjoys Father's Day, and gives tons of love to their dear old Dads!
