The After Party

After yesterday’s discussion–in the comments–I wondered exactly how we can make getting and education, taking personal responsibility for your actions, fiscal responsibility, and pride in self, family, community, and country the hotness. SonnyRedd said we should flip the script on leaning back and walking wit’ it. But how exactly do we make the fourth grade boy not lose interest in his school work? How can we make the fifth grade girl not lose interest in math and science? It’s easy to say, “Make it cool…Make them see the value in it.” But I ask how exactly? (more…)

Someone like me? How does someone like The Hostess like to be pursued? Tis simple…But before I get to it, lemme say that I’m wondering how writing this is going to affect how men pursue me. I’m finding many of them are pretty sneaky and stumble upon my page. Which brings me to this: The first thing a man doesn’t want to ever do is freak me out. Seems rather simple right? Sure in books women like for the man to go the extra mile. However, in today’s stalker-tastic society, and with all the technology we have at our fingertips, some things go far beyond toeing the line. If I don’t give you my home number, don’t call me on it. If I don’t tell you where I work, please do not send anything there or call there. It will freak me out. If you must google me, please, for the love of all things right and good, don’t let meknow what you find. I will be freaked out. And I will end up having to tell all of my closet friends, “Look, if I go missing, ____ probably has me.” (more…)

First, I’d like to thank the wonderful group of lobbyist who sponsored my friends and I as we celebrated our Irish heritage!!! Man, I tell ya, if not for them being married with kids, I’d probably make an effort to party with them more often. But what would it look like? Me being seen about town with married men so many years my senior? Second, I’d like to thank them for reassuring me that I am indeed ‘Hawt’ and have nice teeth. (more…)
