Eye Of Venus And Onward

The lovely folks over at Eye Of Venus have created a repository of blogs that meet their exacting standards of intelligent, entertaining and literate erotisicm. I was honored (and surprised!) by the invitation, and am in seriously good company. Spin by their site for new reading material. I know my RSS feed isn’t full yet. I hope their hard work pays off grandly.

It seems silly to follow that announcement with this one, but I might not write for a little while. Life is complicated, shit happens, and the New York subway system ate whatever remaining spark of humanity I might have had.

I used to write in my old blog that the mornings after I cry myself to sleep are when I am the most beautiful. My skin stretches out, my eyelids swell and brighten into long cat slits. My eyes are brighter blue. I walk around as though I’m underwater.The marks of our previous nights are written on our faces. We glow from sex, or swim bleary-eyed through draining wine. A knife leaves a red mark on a white cheekbone. Tears leave red marks in our eyes.

I would like to not think for a little while. But I’ll be back. No worries.

    E -

    I kind of love that you’re this unavoidable maternal force of the blogosphere.
    Thank you.

    You too? I thought I’d be able to swim to work, it was so sweaty in the city this morning!

    Gosh, the NY subway system is like a living video game every time I’ve been there. How could you possibly not enjoy each and every trip?

    Well, not that I have, although I’m usually pretty happy to have made it out alive each time.

    We’ll hold down the fort for ya.

    Tom -

    The subway becomes rapidly less fun when a cyclone hits Brooklyn and what should be a 50-minute trip takes three hours.

    You’re holding down the fort? I feel as though this should worry me. I will come back and find my blog overrun with pictures of women in corsets with whips, and sumbliminal messages about wearing more leather.
    ;)

    Surely you leatherjest, Eileen! Why, my own blog doesn’t thigh boots have any of those kinds of cruel mistress kinds of pictures; I don’t know what high heel boots would make you think that leather I would stoop to doing shiny tight such a thing.
