my colleague took these. i am knight lancelotting anti-feminist backlash comments from half of “the people” it’s a shame. we had a gas when it was all over and i put my mobile tickle trunk outfits on some girls, they loved it and instantly morphed into the little vixens they are, all it takes is a little nudge. i said that i heard a rumour they wanted to wear some of my outfits and one goes YEAH! i was so lying and she bought it, i died of glee. it’s so healthy to have a laidback relationship with sexuality and flirtation. you know that the human man is the only mammal where it is a necessary requirement for arousal, that’s why women have breasts. when people stifle their urges and who they are, their wants and needs and can’t let loose once in awhile and hit a bawdy show, you don’t have to chastise those who do and then criticize the ever loving hell out of it. i say, good for her. always. when i saw a not so slim girl dancing once on the bar at the painted lady last summer, this man made a derrogitory remark about her. i instantly plucked five bucks out of his wallet slipped it to in her fishnet garter, spanked her bum and said good on ya girl. she danced for a very long time. the guy’s stupid face was frozen. not looking forward to another decade of toronto in the dark conservative ages i tell ya. like i said, i just came back from miami and i am comfortable with butts, sorry that you aren’t. it’s sad when your own friends turn on you. can’t rejoice and be happy, have to slag and insult you. sad on them not me. my head is held high.

yikes. paddy and teacher insisted on these bottoms. i wanted to match my victoria secret set. they thought the thong was too lewd. next time i will not take their advice. i’ll wear a full body fishnet crotchless suit out of spite.

I was trying to think of a comment to leave but it’s all just so dumb. A small group of wallflowers leaving their pretentious marks of some wall. I don’t even get what they’re talking about half the time.

I know it feels almost impossible to do but you have to take that shit in stride. Stay constructive and keep making stuff. It was nice to see you build something and rehearse it and execute it. Not many people do that.

Man, don’t even look at the comments. It drives me nuts when I do it with the stuff I’ve made.

Keep working at what you love. Being constructive is way more impressive than being a commentator.

ps you looked hot
