Where There are Mini Skirts...

Am honored, I mean honoured, to have been invited to the upcoming launch party for Carol Wyer's new novel "Mini Skirts and Laughter Lines!"

Now, she very well may have been drinking when she included me on her A-List bloggers by accident, but too late - I'm crashing this party on 16 September!

To celebrate I've sent her 'Mini Skirt' photos that will be published on her blog, because I could win a kindle. And that is just cool.

Now I COULD publish my personal series of entries here, but I'd rather you just go visit Carol.  But I will tell you my photos are titled "Mini Skirts and Booze."  Yeah - it's hard to figure out why:


1) Me sporting a short flowered ditty gripping a Mai Tai in Hawaii (before I got up on stage a few more Mai Tais later and did the Hula).

2) Me, wearing gold, looking somewhere between cougar and hooker in Vegas.  I'm also handling a glass of Cab like a NASCAR fan has a death grip on a Bud Light.

3) Me gripping a male stripper around his waist w/my mini skirt and boot-clad legs in Chico, CA. 

OK, not the last one as he's only wearing a G-string. 

Thank GOD I've grown up since then.

PS - If any of you are judges and vote for me I'll throw in my Pole Dancing photo in hot pants.

  1. What a great title... it fits you well... I still have mine and somehow I have slowed down in wearing them... My knee scrapes are still healing after all these months also turning 57 is making me think twice.... anyway I haven't retired the camo mini I bought from Gap a few years ago... will find some reason to dig it out again...:-)

  2. Thanks, Chrissy - I hear you on slowing down the showing of the leg. But still love a good above-the-knee skirt when it's appropriate. Soooo - when you dig out the camo mini, I'm sure Carol would love to publish your photo for her launch party...just sayin'. :)

  3. Valerie - I demand you send a picture of you gripping a stripper!
    I loved your photos that you sent and of course they will be displayed proudly on my blog - I won't reveal anything here but I promised the rich Arab who said he'd buy them for a few camels and a couple of oil wells a quick glance at them before I post.
    Thank you so much for being a great sport and joining in the competition. You get my vote!
    Carol XOXO

  5. @Carol - Tell you what - I'll send you the stripper photo if you go in halvsies with me on the oil wells & throw in a camel. I've always wanted a camel - think the stripper pole picture will score get me a llama, an alpaca and my own harem of hot ripped gay male belly dancers who double as stylists and decorators?

    @Chrissy - you heard the woman - snappo snappo camo camo pronto pronto!

    @Valerie - You REALly need to stay away from the keyboard before coffee.

  6. I can tell you're upping the heat in this competition already and I see Carol is already giving you her vote before the other contestants are even on board! I am going to have to watch this closely lest there is some cheating!

  9. Ahh - more blogger fun. So it's not just me - thought I was back to being blog-tarded. I keep saying I'm switching to another platform, but haven't really been spending the time I need to on it. Glad you sent in the photo!

  10. I have the photo under lock and key-this contest just got harder! Okey, we'll split the camel and oil wells three ways to keep Desiree quiet too-we can trust her. She has a blog that keeps me occupied for hours looking at beautiful photos of coountries I would love to be in-just like yours!
    Well done Chrissy and thanks Valerie for advertising the event so positively.
    And one last thing-Your photo is up today!

  11. Looks like we may have to split the Arab spoils with Alex too. Rowr! She looks fabulous. I, on the other hand, do look like a cougar-hooker. What fun - can't wait to see the rest (not of the cougar-hookers, of the photos, I mean. Shit. Need coffee.)

  12. Oh Valerie, you know I might be able to dig up a PG-rated picture of that night in Chico! Woohoo! In return I want a ride on that camel. Not really. But my kids might. I really should find those pictures and lock them away so my kids don't find them. As always you are looking great- and in a mini skirt at that! Miss you and I hope you win the kindle!

  13. KATE! There is one of the blonde stuffing a $20 down my top ... but that's about as PG is it gets. Sad I still have these - and yes, lock them away so your kids don't see them! Damn, I miss you!

Waterfalling in Love Friday

Happiest of Fridays my fly, funky, fresh-in-the-flesh blogging peeps. Java's hosting and we're playing. What a nice venue to share a little love poem.  I know, Little Ms. Cyincal-life-is-too-fabulous-to-be-bothered-with-man drama is going to write about love. Hey, people - I'm not made of wood you know.  It happens. Sometimes I get bit in the ass when I'm perfectly happy celebrating being unattached like it's my job fall in love. You happy? Strap in peeps, because it's a steamy one. Here we go.   Eh hem... Waterfalling in Love by that crazy broad at Living out of the Box Valerie Sometimes a drizzle Always the need to let your sweetness rain down on me. Sometimes a deluge Always thoughts of diving into a pool of you. Falling like the water from above The rush of you over me underneath you The promise of your scent still on my fingers, the feel of you sticky on my lips, the taste of you on my tongue… Desire draws me dow...

Where Heaven and Corkscrews Meet

How in the world can it be 29 July 2011 already?  Was it really two years ago today Living Out of the Box was spewed forth into the blogosphere? Were the last two summers really spent prepping for fall and winter adventures in Italy and France? Huh. So how to celebrate this blog-o-versary ... ideas?  Anyone? I'm still in the throes of reflecting fondly on the last week with my two favorite wine-drinking buddies whom I also had not seen in these last two years.  They came from the East (coast) bearing gifts of the bottled variety. I had saved a gifted bottle of 2005 Il Carbonaione for the moment we would all be together again, as D is the true Sangiovese lover of the group.  They were also my first stateside friends to open a bottle of a first release Chianti Classico by that same winemaker, Juri Fiore - a wine made from grapes I'd actually picked during the 2009 Vendemmia (harvest).  You can read about that interesting time in the vineyards here. ...

Will Work for Peeps - Easter Love from Across the Chunnel!

Lo Scoppio del Carro My 2nd Easter in Italy.  Last year I was in Piazza del Duomo trying to see the Scoppio del Carro (explosion of the cart).  I appreciate the tradition but not the crowds - once was enough. This year I'll celebrate quietly on my side of the river.  I hit the markets early yesterday with a strange craving to bite ears off chocolate bunnies but quickly squelched that by succeeding in finding only milk chocolate bunnies.  I settled for a 1/2 kilo of cheese & a bottle of Barbera d'Alba instead and high-tailed home.  Where I'm not leaving today.  So whilst I'm clogging my arteries with Montasio and getting knackered let's see what surprise the Easter Bunny left for you all.   This funny lady has come all the way from Staffordshire, England and was sitting outside with a "Will Work for Peeps" sign has taken time out from editing her book to engage in some non-traditional Easter mischief with me.  In addition to bein...
