Fifty Shades of What Now?

I admit it, I read (or rather mostly read) the first book; Fifty Shades of Grey. I honestly did not like it. It wasn't the poorly visualized sex scenes or even the bad writing, it is was all the hype over it. What I have concluded is that women are so drawn to these books because we want a man to take control. To push us up against the wall and kiss us like you damn well mean it. To be desired, to be craved, to be able to get a man to the edge by just being ourselves. Most of us want a man to open doors, hold our hand and then devour us in the bedroom.

What also bothered me is that this type of book is nothing new.

Have people forgotten about Romance Novels? People scoffed and made fun of woman in the 90's who went to books signing for Fabio. It was common to see a paperback in every house wife's hand bag. My mother, gran and half sister have been reading Romance Novels for as long as I can remember. I myself have been reading "romance" novels since I was sixteen.

You may be sitting there a little confused so I'll explain. House wives have been hip to the erotic for eons. Have you ever read a romance novel? No? Go to any library and pick up one. Any kind really but for the sex craved in all of us, grab a Harlequin Blaze. It's a whole lot of passion, good sex and a good story. You scoff and say no it's not like Fifty Shades and you are right....mostly. The majority of romance novels are not hardcore BDSM (I argue neither is FSoG) but there are a few that push the boundaries in a tasteful, erotic, romantic way. Might I also say that there are some regular fiction books that have hot and erotic scenes. There is a Sci Fi book series that I love to read that has one of my favorite in it. It even involves some rope and a hook.

I'm not one to judge people by what they read, I could care less but all I ask is that you go beyond just the Fifty Shades books. Pick up a HR or even some Ann Rice for some nice and naughty reads. There are so many more, (might I even say better) reads out there.

So ladies, read your Shades, pick up a Blaze and let your sexual freak flag fly!

I Used To Groom Dogs

Hey Everyone! So as you may or may not know I am an avid animal lover but my personal faves are dogs. I've loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I wanted stuffed puppies before ever wanting a baby doll to play with and The Littlest Pet Shop was the shit. I was in 4-H for 5 years with dogs, even briefly trained dogs. Dog shows are my sporting events of choice. I rescued dogs for many years but purebreds will always have my heart. I started grooming dogs in 2004 when I was 18. I loved it, getting to be around dogs all day meeting new breeds and making the dogs (and owners) feel good. In April of 2016 I was able to move my little home run shop into a rental space in the heart of downtown. I was so excited. I though this is it. I'm doing the thing I've always wanted to do. But it seams that happiness for me is only a fleeting notion because my body can no longer cope with the demands of my job. Long story, an MRI and a couple of months of physical therapy, short I g

November Favorites 2014

It's December ya'll! That means that Yule and Christmas are just right around the corner, before you know it it will be 2015! I did film a faves video. In fact I filmed it twice but both times I forgot a few things and the quality was not very good. So...... A good old fashion blog post it is! Lets begin with the first beauty product: NYC Sky rise Lengthening Mascara. It's kind of amazing and for just a couple of dollars you can't go wrong. It has a thin traditional brush that helps gets extra close to the lash line. I used it every time I applied makeup in November because it helped me reach those tiny curled lashes I have on my left eye. Also because of my astigmatism helped to not stab myself in the eyeball. The second beauty fave is: Not Your Mothers: Way to Grow Long and Strong I was needing a new shampoo and preferred one that was sulfate free and I found this at my local Wal-Mart. I have used their hair spray before and thought why not gave

Dogs.

Hey everyone! I am a self proclaimed Dog Snob. I love dogs and the sport of showing dogs. Anything involved with dogs, I love. Now I say Snob because I prefer purebreds. Mutts are great, I have several but my heart is pedigreed. This is also why I love being a pet groomer, getting to be hands on with so many different breeds and making them look as close as I can to their breed type is a thrill for me. I have always wanted to breed/show purebred dogs. Westminster is like the Super Bowl for me, I love reading about animal genetics, and raising puppies. But getting a breeder of quality dogs to give a virtual 'noobie' like me a puppy in the my chosen breed is nearly impossible. Now my breed of choice is the Poodle. Big or small I love them all but trying to find a healthy, well bred companion Toy Poodle is nearly impossible, almost as impossible as getting one from a show breeder. I was heavily involved with animal rescue for many years and I will always lend a hand to a d
