Curves and Tattoos

 
 
I thought I was a real badass many years ago by getting my belly button pierced long before anyone else was doing it. I never thought I would want a tattoo but a couple years ago I got one on my foot as a reminder to me that no matter what is going on in life I can choose happiness. I am not sure it really qualifies as a tattoo since it is just two letters.
 
I knew after that first one I wanted another and knew what I wanted. After two years of thinking about it, I did it. This one too has meaning and I think any ink you get should mean something to you. No drunken last minute decisions at Myrtle Beach while on vacation.
 
I debated on whether to show this picture because it is still healing and it will only look better with time. It is also a crappy picture because the location makes it difficult to take the picture. It really is a lot cooler than this depicts.
 
 
 
I think you would be surprised at the people who have tattoos that you just can't see with normal clothes on. Then there are those who have tramp stamps who even at the beach make sure it is covered because they don't want anyone to know they have them. No tramp stamps for me but I do have my next one planned already for next month. My plan also includes the fore thought that no matter where my curves end up in 20 years it will still look good.
 
And then there is this:
Tattoos make naked people more interesting!
 
Do you secretly want one or do you have one you don't want anyone to see, even if you are naked?

Lacy Underwear For Men????





According to this article Versace wants men to wear lingerie.

I really only have one thing to say about this. Guys, if your underwear has lace, you ain't ever goin' to see the lace on mine.

End of story.

Pole Dancing? Chair Dancing?


I am in a special class to get fit.  No, it isn’t special ed.  It is a small, specialty fitness class that is not only getting us fit but working on being sensual and sexy – for ourselves. The instructor/owner of the fitness center is all about empowering women to feel good about themselves at any and all points in their lives. 

This class has given me a huge appreciation for women who work in “gentlemen’s clubs”. You see, it is a pole and chair dance class. The amount of fitness and strength this takes is so much more than I thought.  I have joked that if my current career doesn’t work out I will hit the clubs in Myrtle Beach with what I am learning.  Remember, I said I “joked” about it. There would have to be a bunch of alcohol to convince me to do that publicly.  Okay, maybe not a bunch of alcohol but there would have to be alcohol involved.

If we allow ourselves we can lose our sexual and sensual self. It isn’t about having someone in your life and it isn’t about pleasuring yourself.  We are a puritan society who says we must cover our bodies and certainly not touch ourselves or if we do you don’t talk about it. I seem to recall boys being told they would go blind if they did or something like that. Never heard that about girls but maybe the belief was girls didn’t do that.  I have digressed and need to get back on track with my beginning thoughts, so….

“Sexuality is a natural part of who we are. We are all sexual beings, although we express our sexuality differently as we grow up. Our sexuality includes our sense of gender, our body image, our sexual orientation, our sexual behaviors, our emotions, and the roles we play in relationships. It is much bigger than what we do and who we do it with.” That is according to Dr. Logan Lefkoff and I agree.  The big part of that statement for me is the body image part. This class certainly helps with that.

The pole and chair dance classes are not only for fitness but they give you permission to move your body in a sensual manner.  Some of us have way too many hang ups about that.  Put some music on at home and sway to it. Just move and pretty soon you may be feeling pretty darned sexy.  Oh yeah, close the blinds first.
