After meeting Mr. Agency at the Masquerade Party, we became friends on Facebook. That led to an email exchange, and then we began texting each other. Mr. Agency: Will you be heading to the event at the rooftop on Wednesday? I hadn’t planned to go. But, I knew that two of my friends would be […]
Her hair is gone now. In only four days, she has lost half of her long, thick red mane. She donates the rest to Locks of Love and shaves her head. She thinks that losing her hair will make her incomprehensibly sad, and yet, it doesn't. She finds a way to rock the G.I. Jane […]
I had thought that June 22, 2010 would be a memorable day in my life because that was the day I had been diagnosed with breast cancer. Now, I wondered if I would also remember it as the most bizarre day I had ever spent with Mr. Exec. I had just watched him grab another […]
I had just been diagnosed with breast cancer several hours ago. Now, I was at an event with Mr. Exec, watching him grab another woman’s ass not once, but FIVE, times. I said nothing to Mr. Exec since it wasn’t worth it. I went up to his best friend, Best Boy, to tell him that […]

As we waited in the lobby, we couldn't help but notice that one out of every third or fourth person in the waiting room: Was bald from chemotherapy; Had jaundice (a yellow complexion) from liver […]
I've been thinking a lot about the different hats that I wear. I'm a relationship and sex blogger. I'm the in-house product reviewer for Dascha Boutique and a sexuality educator for Fascinations at Fun Love. I'm a non-practicing attorney who will still talk about the law ad nauseum and answer her former clients' calls at […]
I've blogged a fair amount about my tits. But, today, I'm shifting the focus from tits to breast health. "Why should I care about breast health?" you might be asking if you are a guy. "I'm 24. Breast health isn't really an issue at my age," you might be saying. Ladies, it's never too early […]
