On the rare occasions that I bother to read her, Andrea Peyser is almost guaranteed to make me feel a little ill. But she really outdid herself today:
"Flashing a dazzling grin - and a tantalizing chunk of dark nipple - the rapper known as Foxy Brown flirted shamelessly through her Criminal Court sentencing yesterday, turning all into die-hard fans.
A tantalizing CHUNK of dark nipple. That has got to be the most repulsive description of a nip slip ever committed to paper. A chunk of dark nipple! And it was tantalizing! Peyser makes it sound like Ms. Brown went into court waving around a piece of her areola or some such craziness! Yucky!
In other news, my latest Seattle column is out. In it, I discuss my boyfriend's inexplicable love for the sports bra. Sometimes I like to write weird (but true!) things about him just because it sort of gets on my nerves that he doesn't read my column. Or my blog, for that matter. But he really does love the tube-boob effect that the sports bra gives. I don't get it either.
wow, i thought it was just me. jon doesn't read anything of mine either, nor does he have any interest in my photography. (nor does he think that moving house for a month gives me any right to be exhausted.)

My boyfriend reads every word I write -- I quiz him closely at the end of every day, and make him dissect leads and transitions. Or no dinner.

Not reading at all is better than smelly Kevin-With-The-Cat-On-His-Head who told me that my writing was not his "favorite thing," with an ugly smirk. But now he's a famous film director. Or was that nearly homeless drunken wastrel?

Loved the column! My boyfriend thinks I'm ravishing when I first wake up--morning breath, stubbly legs, pillow creases on my face and all... men are a mystery.

getting my mate to look at my work is often like pulling teeth - so it's not only a male thing. maybe this is just a reminder that egos need to be brought down to size every now and then.
i used to think i had no ego or not much of one but lately i've realized i have a giant ego. it just doesn't need validation from anyone else.

I know -- I was only joking. My boyfriend wouldn't wipe his ass with my ouvre. But you know, God bless him anyway.

Oh, Judy, I'm sorry, but that made me want to pee my pants reading this. A tantalizing chunk of dark nipple? HA HA HA HA. I really, really needed to laugh, since I am in recent, painful, post-breakup mode at the moment. So, thanks for making me smile.
