Retail Bliss (Oh No, But I *Insist*…)

And here it is, December 26th. The Day After.

First and foremost, Congratulations! If you’re reading this, chances are you survived. However, for those of you whom “survival” just ain’t cuttin’ it, and you’re feeling less-than-satisfied with this year’s swag?  While wild women descend upon shopping malls in the ultimate Quest To Find A Good Bargain, Damnit, please allow me to provide suggestions by a more civilized approach: The “F it—this one’s for me, and I’m packin’ plastic.”  In the comfort of your own home, even!

That being said,

Takes me muuuuch longer than one would think. (Seriously? It’s pretty sad, guys.) I’ll have to post more suggestions later… As for now?

The Consumer As ‘Spokesmodel’…(& I’m Lovin’ It!)

There’s a section on my beast of a MySpazz page where, for quite some time now, I’ve been posting a “Reader of the Week”: images of folks being as somber or silly as they want, so long as they follow two rudimentary guidelines: 1) keep it PG-13, regardless if the subject matter veers toward “X Rated-Adjacent” territory and 2) incorporate one of my published works (Cottonmouth Kisses and/or Pills, Thrills, Chills and Heartache), ancient relics/self-published chapbooks, an anthology in which a story of mine appears…or, in one instance, photographs of me that were published in…

:: Well, You.Get.It ::

Of the seventy-something thus far, I’ve featured a spectrum that spans from bondage bunnies to strategically-placed texts “about a comma short of indecent exposure”; from high drama in high heels to low-and-deliberately-difficult-to-find positioning of the aforementioned. (A Veritable “Where’s Waldo: Catalyzed,”
if you will…)

When the collection hits the 101 mark,
I plan on posting my favorites from the batch as an archive of Greatest Hits.
