Hello, Raindog and ThomsTeddyBear!!
Thanks for the safety advice, LOL!! Sharing "hates", I guess. As I said, I'm in Lima, Peru, South America. Little trouble finding british cable channel - except BBC of course! -. Yes, there are some helpul sprays to get rid of clothes wrinkles. However, I need to know for example, how to iron pants and blouses - how to fold them to iron, what part comes first in what way, etc, etc.
TeddyBear, I didn't imagine there were more women than gays in the community - no trying to offend, please -. Well, I shouldn't be surprised, either. We all love learning tips, and of course, knowing some hints to help our beloved ones.
Anyone chooses how to worship. Close or far. And no, I wouldn't like extreme changes in men. No skin care system is able to change manners or hearts. But women want their men to take a little more care about themselves... and of course, about their loved partners.
I've heard lots of complains here in Latin America and there USA about lack of masculine courtesy. Also, I've heard complains from MEN about women who get angry because they open the doors for them, or want to invite dinner (they say these women accused them of being "machists")
Huh!!
So, maybe women reject what they (we) want to get from a partner?
(Suggestion: why don't create a new forum: "Hints and Tips for straight gal"? Personally, I get lost trying to read this excelent but numerous advices.)

Don't try it while actually wearing the clothes. That hurts. And it doesn't work at all.

I agree! Give the suitable stuff to charity.
But, they may have time issues.
Good point, clbailey
I really love this show!
My 9 yr old son watches with me.
Carson really appeals to the kids.
I have checking with my friends and their kids who watch.
Hey....QUEER EYE is a family show too!

I agree, I live in NYC but the Fab 5 need a British Version or they need to do a British tour or something. I am moving back to the UK in May after living in the states for 7 years. I am not sure how I am going to survive
I don't remember what episode it was but when the guys where in the loft Kyan had a awesome shirt that said "Tiki" on it and had a Moai on that back. Does anybody know the designer or where I can score one of them for myself?

HEy! It's so cool how some of your guys are so lucky enough to meet CArson in person!!! Carson is such a loveable down to earth guy!i heard that Carson is going to be in Orlando at the Home Garden Show this week..... and I'm kinda mad cuz i was down in orlando for spring break last week and realized that the time i was leaving orlando to go back, CArson is going to make an appearrance at the home garden show.... and it sucks dat i won't be able to see him!!!
So, if anyone is in Orlando, and is going to the Home Garden Show, please let me know if you saw CArson or etc. THANKs!!! By the way, how do you guys know where and what Carson is??? (When he's making appearrances at places)

I don't remember that shirt, but if you find out what episode it was you can find out the designer by going to the shopping guide section because each episode the fab 5 are outfitted by a different designer. It also says which designer dressed the fab 5 were wearing at the end of the episode during the credits. However, I'm not sure, but I think that they always wear next season's clothes, so you might have to wait a little while until it comes out. Hope that helps.
Anyone know of Tick's whereabouts?
"Extreme Makeover: Home Edition"... the episode where the African-American mother got her house redone: new basketball court for her kids, her church choir was singing. The moment she broke down crying in her kitchen... that's what it's all about. There's no doubt in my mind if the Fab Five made-over people who are less-fortunate, instead of guy's trying to impress their girlfriends, that'll increase their ratings and fan-base.
My little summer job was inane, overpaid and soooo cosy - being a phone monkey in between day-dreaming about hot liaisons under the stars....on the lawn under the peach tree.....on a blanket at the beach. Ya get the picture - I got to goof off a lot on this job.
Well, sadly, the summer job is over and I am in Big School.
My schedule is beginning to pinch....hella hard and we want to take our poor, frazzled graduate-brains for a snow-board holiday in the semester break.....hmmm, rapture in fluffy, snow drifts......on Flokhati's in front of blazing log-fires.....tasting the spiced, mulled wine lingering on my man's lips....Oh yes! I think I might like love in a cold climate!
But litte Ticklette's bank account is in a very sorry state after paying for that ridiculously expensive tuition....What was I thinking of! Omg, I ACTUALLY have to FORCE myself to put garments back on racks and walk straight past shoe-store windows that I have begrimed with my finger-prints for countless seasons.
I have to steel myself to wearing LAST season's shoes and pants - I am going to have to dig deep to survive this mental and emotional assault. Do I have in in me? All those little shoes left with no-one to love them and take them home....I can hear their tiny sobs......Oh, cruel Fate! Oh, woe!
Nothing else for it. Drastic times call for drastic measures.
And so, the belt is being tightened, in order that we might have a really spiffy, hot romantic holiday - in between falling off snowboards. Spiffy holidays are expensive and I am not doing it by the backpacker-hostel method. I want a proper bed and deep bathtub.....and not on a bunk listening to the rafter-rattling snores of sixteen other sleepers in the room.
The internet connection is an expense we are showing to the door - sigh - until the end of the year. I have student account - but there are such long queues for the 'puters for course work - you get the evilest of evil looks drilling you in the back of the head, from people patiently waiting for a carrel to come free, so they can do their essays.
I will be back. Oh yes, I am an incurable, inveterate gossip......and I am still watching the programme with great interest, 'cos I am recording the epi's.....but there is an increasing sense of irritation in me when I watch them.
This is making me snippy and I know I have a boundless capacity to be wickedly, wittily disdainful and waspishly dismissive....which is sometimes very funny to read, but a few people who are a bit ....hmmmm....let us just say "dim"....get a more than a little hurt. And I don't want to spoil it for them. I don't think I have that right....well, I do, I am just not going to flame the lame for a while.
Anyhoo.....you can perform a small service for me in my absence - please try and realign the mindsets of the young girls who have developed and still kindle, all-consuming crushes on gay men on their televisions.....and they have, despite their most solemn assurances, that they know where the reality cuts in.......Look, I love to put on my pink bunny-rabbit jammies and put curlers in my hair and sit for hours on my Princess-line phone munching on pizza and pop-corn and talking about boys....but I am getting the heebie-jeebies with the realisation that STILL, so many very young girls, really, truly believe that they are going to be able to "turn" a man straight.....oooh, hear that screech of a metal key turning!! That is a veritable Pandora's box of hurt being opened. Mucho unhappiness can only result.
And they do believe it you know.....read the LJ sites. TTB - don't have a conniption here - I emphasise that some women have been able to clearly determine that we march to quite different drums. But some plainly haven't. It is perplexing and vexing.
Dearest moderator - one day....one glorious day - HRH, Tick, Pouting, Diminutive, Exquisite Empress of All He Surveys and his luscious swain.....will arrive in NYC, to "do" America. For your patience and perspicacity in the freedoms you have bestowed upon Tick-as-a-writer.....and for NOT letting La Ticklette run totally amok - we shall take you for a lovely, elegant supper in a bijou establishment......before we sally forth to "do" the Big Apple.
Do you think they are ready in NYC for the Tick Experience?.... I somehow think not!
So, adieu....a bientot......and remember me fondly, those who were fond of me.....or if I am remembered not so fondly, then shove a straw into a bottle of Gaviscon and suck hard at regular intervals!!!

Bummer! Mr T's post will be missed by me! I hope this place doesn't turn into a massive fangirl messageboard! Gay guys...please!!KEEP POSTING, fangirls...Tick is correct, the Fab Five are gay. That means they LOVE men! While I take great pleasure in seeing Kyan's chest hair, and watching the sensuous way he holds his upper lip....I imagine him kissing his boyfriend, not me. Gay men often make the most wonderful FRIENDS for females....not lovers. It ain't happening....
Has anyone here ever written to the Fab Five and gotten a reply? I want to see what my chances are.
What a shame you have to give up your internet connection?
I am suspiciously grateful to you for keeping up interest in
these boards. Perhaps you enjoyed your obfuscations a bit
too much though. What is this particular disdain for young
girls all about? Does it extend to Women and Gays as well?
You're very creative and share my love for language. I don't
care who you are- but unless you sent private messages to
some of these open-hearted angels who corresponded with you
over the last year, !

Been wondering myself but didn't he say school is starting back up for him and that he'd be scarce? That's what I chalked it up to. I'm sure he'll be popping back in after orientation
There's tick! Awwww {{{HUGS}}} - no conniption, like I said, you make me smile more often than you make me angry. Enjoy your time off, work hard in school, and if you do make it to the states, you'd better let me know! You are one princess who I definitely have to meet!
And I will always let you enter a doorway first

Tick is our resident princess! He put the "homo" in homosexual, admits it flambouyantly, and is proud of it. He's the only person I know who can run the 40 in 2 minutes flat and knock everyone and their mother out of the way if there is a shoe sale at the finish line...and he keeps his crinoline in perfect shape while doing it, lol
Tick ticks people off every now and then, but we really could not imagine the boards without him. It will be hard, we'll miss his posts, I hope he gets to come back often and soon.
...and she appears in Prada.
Sad to see you go. Take care of yourself. TTFN.

Forbearance is a virtue, but virtue is its own punishment.
I don't really care if tick is a straight mans charade or
not. Your 'princess' is entertaining, and it only irritates
me that I let down my guard... notevayas

And whatever does notevayas mean by that, One wonders!
Oh, plainly he must be from some exotic, foreign land!
But what WAS that he has just said to me? Was it a jibe? A stinging rebuke - a back-of-the-hand across the cheek.....or a back-handed compliment? Explain yourself, notevayas! I know I am blue-blood, bred to idiocy - but, I will admit it - you have me utterly bewildered.
Please note: One's Exodus is on hold, (but only temporarily), as One finds Oneself both incensed at an apparent and blatant lack of gallantry and gobsmacked in amazement by this correspondence.....and the correspondent, if the truth be told.
Be seated and explain yourself cher'. I wouldn't sit too close to my Regal Exquisiteness though, I will admit a tendency to throw the crockery about when I am enraged....or even mildly miffed.
Sit down range a bit and explain carefully to me, the origins and meaning of your extraordinary outburst.
Yes, I am a twenty-seven year-old femme with a penchant for histrionics and high drama; a purse-mouthed, eyebrow-arched, playful, peppery poof with two Bachelor's Degrees and a nascent Master's Degree - an endeavour, whose final purpose is still a complete mystery to me. I just want the whole set of qualifications, I guess.
Behind my front door I AM Little Suzy Homemaker, though not always Miss Manners. I drive too fast. I don't wear undies with my leather pants. I hate broccoli. I flirt shamelessly and calculatedly for whopping discounts on new additions to my wardrobe and I turn heads wherever I go.
Darn-tootin' - I DO also happen to be diminutive and pulchritudinous princess; L'Empresse Tick - but, capitalised, please! One does *not* have a chitinous exo-skeleton and far too many legs!
When I was in utero, I decided I wanted to be a Pretty Princess in a tiara and a crinoline and I am, thank you very much!
Why so fretful about letting down your guard....whatever is the irritation? It must be fabulous for you to be so vexed about lowering it - do a twirl and show us it!
Let down your guard and add a nice new, leather belt to it.......
Obfuscate! Me? Never!! And the moderator, in their infinite wisdom has suspended the private-message function - so the billets-doux are all aired in public and I get whacked upside the head aplenty, if I get too mouthy. The women don't let me run amok.
...and he's BACK!
I have to go to work- please Bravo board, clear whatever
he says. Just *** the obscenities.
Oh, and remember Tick, a princess does not abandon her
subjects...Can't your guy afford even a dial-up plan?
Persuade him?

I have been fussbudgeting around the house this evening, doing minor chores and wondering all the while just WHAT that post was about.......hmmm, but if the moderator doesn't stamp "approved" on my last post - then this one will make little sense, so be patient.
Let's see - checkin' the Ticklette out.....Okay, I am a genetic XY male.....Pats cheeks - hmmm, a little scratchy. Peers down shirt front - a flat chest....that PROBABLY says "It's a boy"; looks into trousers - yes, look - boy bits - so I must be a boy! And FYI - I dress to the left and I didn't get the "snip" as a baby.
But in my *mind* - I am the prettiest of pretty princesses with a tumbling mane of golden locks, beset with a glittering tiara. Storm-cloud grey eyes and a perfect mouth are hiding teasingly behind a fluttering fan; an emerald-cut diamond strand nestles above a cutely decolletaged basque, sweeping into a crinolined skirt that sways alluringly, showing silk stockings and my beautiful handlasted ivory Russian-leather dancing slippers. My duty to "my people" is to wander from atelier to atelier; to flirt and be seen in public at all the best places and to scold men for ugly shoes. It is very simple really.
(End of princess-y day dream. Cut and Print!)

I'm with you: not that I don't love you all, or that you don't entertain me on a daily basis (which is greatly needed sometimes): it just won't be the same w/o Tick here on a regular basis.
Hmmm.....maybe we should create an honorary Tick post: every ten, twenty (something like that) posts, just send out a little reminder that we're thinking of Our Highness & how much we love our resident princess.

Sure, I'll explain. But you're not going to like it.
Compare your writing to that of the rest of us. Look back
over your posts- I did. Man, you have a gift!
At first I was sure you were on Bravo's payroll.
A bona-fide princess deigns to hobnob with us plebeians?
And for so long?
Maybe he really feels kinship with the ladies? They adore
him. But wait, he blows them all off without any warmth-
nattering on about shoes crying or some such rot.
And curious this recurrent antipathy toward the young sweet-
hearts that dream of romancing their gay idols. Sure, it's
not going to happen- but what harm? And surely you're not
so naive as to believe men are gay first and men second.
I've been with lovely women. And I've been faithful to one
man the last eight plus years. He's been divorced twice in
that time.
He's no angel and neither am I.
The part of me that cares hopes you will forgive my
method of smoking you out and taking your temperature. It's
no slur in my book to be called a straight man. Gay, in my
experience is just a man who needs more sex than most women
want and is not too intimidated to find it.
And no one drops the internet.

Why so fretful about letting down your guard....whatever is the irritation? It must be fabulous for you to be so vexed about lowering it - do a twirl and show us it!
I have never told anyone that I love him. I wrote it in a
post inspired by something you wrote back when. So I blame
you. I could also blame the sun for making the water so
orangey-pink as it went down. I go a bit stir crazy and the
water makes this constant lapping sound and it's like I am
the only one in the world. Sometimes. Anyway- maybe this
will amuse you. I hate shopping! And I can, anytime. It's
nothing to build your life around. It's pathetic to shop in
the daytime anyway. And then you get home, (and this is my
place by the way) and what do you have? More junk.
So have fun. I did. Your turn. notevayas signing off..
Hellooo, I'm new, I'm Rach from London *waves*
I am most definitely hooked on Queer Eye For The Straight Guy!
Now to the point of this post... one of my mum's good friends worked for Cosmo years ago with the woman who invented Carson's favourite word. As far as I know Carson is having trouble spelling it... can anyone get this message to him that it is spelt ZHUSH :-P It must be with an "!" always!
I hope Carson gets to read this somehow and now he can put it on all his christmas cards :-P
Hugs,

Nothing else for it. Drastic times call for drastic measures
The internet connection is an expense we are showing to the door - sigh - until the end of the year. I have student account - but there are such long queues for the 'puters for course work - you get the evilest of evil looks drilling you in the back of the head, from people patiently waiting for a carrel to come free, so they can do their essays.
Sure, I'll explain. But you're not going to like it.
Compare your writing to that of the rest of us. Look back
over your posts- I did. Man, you have a gift!
At first I was sure you were on Bravo's payroll.
A bona-fide princess deigns to hobnob with us plebeians?
And for so long?
Maybe he really feels kinship with the ladies? They adore
him. But wait, he blows them all off without any warmth-
nattering on about shoes crying or some such rot.

Why the change in tone when tick enters the room? Granted his words may seem harsh, I did get on him about them at one point. But we all came to find out that he does indeed have good intentions behind them and really means no ill-will. In visiting various QE sites, he has seen our younger women (teens) cooing in an extreme fashion for gay men. Where he is from, he has seen gay men turn violent towards such adoration and he guessed that the same could happen here. His concern was for their welfare. I misunderstood his intent then and apologized for it, in turn, he has toned down ALOT, lol. He has shown an amazing amount of warmth here to people he did not have to. And while some of us still have to get used to his way of posting, many of us have embraced him fondly - cold-hearted facade and all...because that's really what it is, a facade. True he may have attitude, but we all do...it just shows in different ways.
He's an amazing person who loves and is loved...and also wants to be worshipped on bended knee while being fanned on a chair of gold and offered sacrifices of the latest styles of seasonal shoes by buff Italian men wearing only sarongs.
KIDDING!
One other thing, I've had to drop the internet twice - got it back, but had to drop it for financial reasons. Crazy, I know - but I had backup at the local library and school.
Not flamin', just sayin' - TTB
I can't wait for next week's episode featuring a mighty Mullet take-down!!!
And an aside, i'm new here, but anybody like TickTick who knows how to use the word "gobsmacked" gets points, IMHO.

GLAAD’S “I DO” CONTEST ENCOURAGES ALL TO PARTICIPATE
GLAAD Seeks Diverse Entries for Commercial Competition
The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) is proud to announce the “I DO” Contest, a national competition to create the best 30-second television commercial spot advocating equal access to the rights, protections and responsibilities of marriage for same-sex couples.
Whether you’re a novice or professional filmmaker, and identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) or straight, GLAAD is inviting you to submit your 30-second commercial spot for consideration. We welcome everyone’s participation. “If you can translate your passion for fairness and equal protection for same-sex couples into 30 compelling seconds that counter the negative, discriminatory and fear-mongering tactics of the anti-gay right wing, then we want to hear from you,” says Joan M. Garry, Executive Director of GLAAD.
Every day, Americans are subjected to misleading suggestions that granting civil marriages rights to same-sex couples will somehow destroy the sanctity of marriage. We at GLAAD believe that average, fair-minded Americans will see through these biased and homophobic messages when shown what same-sex marriage rights are truly about—equal protection under the law for all committed couples and families regardless of gender.
This is a unique and creative opportunity for you to get involved and potentially show your vision to millions of Americans. Help us put a human face on the struggles of LGBT people by sharing images of families, love and the desire for equality that everyone can relate to.
Submit your television spot from March 27 to May 11, 2004. Commercial spots can be in any form of moving image—live-action, animation, text, whatever else you prefer--as long as the final submitted commercial spot is of broadcast quality. Be creative. The commercials should show a positive and/or poignant attitude towards same-sex marriage. Anyone 15 years old and over who is a U.S. citizen or resident alien living in the U.S. can submit a commercial spot. Commercial spots can be in English or Spanish language.
The winning commercial spot—to be announced on June 5, 2004 at the GLAAD Media Awards in San Francisco—will be chosen from a group of finalists by our panel of celebrity judges, including writer/director Kevin Williamson (Scream), producer Craig Zadan (Chicago), director Jane Anderson (If These Walls Could Talk 2), actor Judith Light (Who’s the Boss?), director Paris Barclay (The West Wing, ER), actor/writer Heather Juergensen (Kissing Jessica Stein) and producer Bruce Cohen (American Beauty). More celebrity judges will be announced in the coming weeks.
GLAAD plans to air the winning spot in several key markets across the country as part of an intensive media campaign to combat the anti-gay rhetoric of our opposition. The winning ad will also be shown on Spanish-language television. Certain commercial spots may be shown online at GLAAD’s website www.GLAAD.org
Create a difference in 30 seconds! Submit your commercial spot to the “I DO” Contest.
For more information on how to enter, please go to www.GLAAD.org/ido
GLAAD is dedicated to promoting and ensuring fair, accurate and inclusive representation of people and events in the media as a means of eliminating homophobia and discrimination based on gender identity and sexual orientation.

Oh! I can still access the Internet! Frowny line appears.
Holy Brain-Fog Batman!
My account expires *next* Thursday! (Well, Ticklette, if you had been paying attention AT ALL during the Diary Meeting you would have discovered that Easter was NEXT week).......
Ticklette has a little think about The Curious Fact That Easter Was A Very Strange and Very Mobile Holiday.......never in the same place twice.....very vexing.
Still utterly perplexed by Noteveyas and wondering if he is one of my old boyfriends come back to haunt me. Which hemisphere is he in I wonder?
Should I sign up for a witness protection programme? Can I wear a false moustache with my bone structure - would my bum look big in a collar-up, gaberdine mac?
Frowny line back again - "One does wonder if he is making fun of One's scribbling". My scribbles are my "security blankie" in times of stress and solitude - when little Ticklette is home alone Worrying About Things. Scribbling dampens the worrying and keeps me away from cigarettes and the bottle.
I should be so lucky to be in NYC. I need a green card first.
I hope you are smiling when you say that! I am a Leo, dear heart - 'nuff said. Haughty, pedigreed, languid, lissome, self-obsessed, opinionated, insufferable..and in Prada.....
Tchah! Most of them merely tolerate me. But there ARE some sweeties....to shoot the breeze with. The grown women here are truly astonishing, to tell you the truth. Resourceful, independent of mind and heart, vibrant, strong and standing tall.
{{{{Gasp}}}} But...don't shoes talk to EVERYONE? Goodness, I hear them so very CLEARLY in my head - calling to me in their little voices, all with a slight Italian accent....."Mammaaa take us home with you....ma-maaaa....."
No harm, just some shadows cast by the big, old elephant-in the-living-room being factored-in. A pachyderm called "Keeping it real".
I make this statement in some trepidation. 'K - I was intrigued for some weeks by a Live Journal site that, at first glance, *may just possibly* have had some male input into it and not just another girlie *squeeeee* site. Wrongo!! It is all girls....and ummmmm, well, nothing else for it, but to say it plainly - most of them have been whacked WELL HARD with the ugly stick.
They actually seem to resent any male intrusion onto the site - but labour away in their bachelorette garrets penning galley-proof after galley-proof of QE slash. They descend like taloned harpies upon anyone who creates ripples in their mill-pond, but are also inconsistent in ways that make me laugh out loud.
As one hapless contibutor discovered, to their dismay, with an icon that featured a very mildly fluffed male privy member in tighty-whities "It's a Taffy pull" - the Big Chief Girlfriend was NOT amused, "I don't like you putting things like that on my friend's page".........but then they all link arms and casually saunter around the block to pen gay erotic slash!
There is a verrah interesting thread by a gay Asian-American on "Asian visibility" - but the girlfriends always go to Defcon Scarlet whenever he vists with them. They just want to dream their lives away with Kyson and Jai/ky/thom.
Yeah, I do get scornful. And mildly exasperated with the young girls who really do believe they are going to be able get it on with a gay man. In the knowledge that some queer tongues have a sharp edge for the wannabe-companions.
And this section makes me go like, "Ugh, yuk!!!......Now, you are sounding like one of the "Girlfriends" who described herself bewilderingly as "semi-bi." Now THAT is an appellation to conjure with.
I have never "been with lovely women", unless you create the amusing category "by proxy" as my BF has had girlfriends and been engaged to someone of the female persuasion. Have I got "straight" cooties by that degree of separation? Oh dear!
These two sentences whistled straight over my head (forgive the pun). Elaborate, for heaven's sake....semaphore, smoke-signals, heliograph, braille.....anything.........I can make neither head nor tail of this. A Crypto-gram for Tick! Cryptogram for Tick!!
They do when they have booked a holiday and paid the deposit and now have to find the balance.

Oh, Jeepers!! I know I am going to get into trouble for what I said about "The Girlfriends" on LJ....buuuuut......one of them had a title to their icon which said "Not a pretty girl".....and when I looked at her journal - I had to agree. "Yes, without a doubt, you are not a pretty girl...." And *sigh* she wasn't the only one.
I have to admit to taking the Micky mercilessly because there was this......this strange, disapproving, indrawn gasp of shock horror at poor Taffy's really very funny icon and then you go down the LJ hallway to Room 671 and the same girls are all writing with mad, gay abandon about slashy gay abandonment!
Ek-tu-ally, some of the slash isn't half bad. I loved one atmospheric, moody piece - but the idea of girls writing gay erotic fiction has me throwing my hands up in the air and shrieking "What is the world coming to?"
I thought I might trawl the sultry and sensual depths of my junk-draw of a memory and submit some pieces, but I get a shiver up my spine that tells me they wouldn't be wanting a boy's own work.
Having MULLET PARTY...So looking forward to this one and I am going to have a little party with my friends who also love this show...We are quite a mix..I'm a straight girl, my roommate is a gay guy, and our firends are a mix of great people who love this show....It is so much fun to watch this show with all of them..the only draw back to this it the extra tissue expence..my roommate can't get through an episode without drooling over Ted!!! But I have to say he has great taste!!

Tick! *shakes finger at you*...it's not nice to call a person ugly! No one is ugly, people are just different looking - unless it's their attitude. Plus people change as they grow older. One person's "unattractive" at age 13, 14, 15 is that same person's "gorgeous" at 23, 24, 25. Me, I'm different looking and like it - a salt-n-pepper haired, full-lipped, big-cheeked, one-earring wearing, frumpy dumpy kind of gal. Ok, so my couture and grooming have improved immensely thanks to the guys - but I refuse to wear two earrings or makeup!

Tick, I think you'd be welcome over there. What most people in that community want to see is well-written slash, especially if it's "sultry and sensual" (and written by a real grownup - there's been an excess of juvenilia over there recently), and you obviously have a talent! I've heard of gay men who write this material- there aren't many, but we treasure the ones who do for the element of, um, verisimilitude they can add. But that really isn't the point. Most people who write it just do so because it makes them happy. So if you want to join in the fun, and won't be too critical of the occasional squeeing, please come on over!

I find this kind of disturbing too. I know a lot of people exist in a dream and dislike reality, and I suppose it's kind of like being obsessed with anybody else on TV that you don't (and never will) know, but ... not really. It's a bit insulting to the gay objects of their affections - "oh, you're not REALLY gay! I'll fix that!!!"
Of course, I'm not an impressionable little girl, either. That may make a difference in my jaded view of the world.

ThomsTeddyBear - I too have always been 'different' looking.
I think I remember hearing that I was born 'too soon' and I
was often ill when a child. My mother was very religious
and kept me alive by sheer will and belief. Where I grew up
it was not 'fashionable' for a boy to be small. My sisters
who were older and stronger defended me. Now they will not
accept a call or letter from me. But I owe women my life,
and if I ever feel 'chivalry', it is first to women. It
would be more than foolish to display identifying informa-
tion, but my work is of most benifit to women in general.
I say all this because I have made myself less in your eyes
in trying to communicate with Princess Tick. My whole idea
in posting here was that it was a gay-friendly forum that
was not about meeting men, as I am taken and I want no one's
well-being on my conscience!
So I do not feel so free to describe myself except to say
that I am in good shape and my eyes are often complimented
on by strangers. Your description of yourself is much as
I've imagined- sort of like a jazzy but natural student of
the world. A person who will always be open to life.
In two days my attention will be completely away from this
conversation, but I will need most of that time to figure
out how to verbally relate to Tick. I will do it this time
without the wine. I will say quickly that I meant 'gift' as
'gift from God'. You will notice that I react and respond
to what other people say, but with Tick- it is Original
Creativity spilling out into words. It is a treat I don't
want to give up- so yes, I'm pouting like a child! I don't
understand it, or often agree, but it is like Art. And
if you are reading this Tick, 'smoking out' means lighting
a fire to a house to force the people out. Crude, but
effective. Are you planning revenge? notevayas

Deflated and contrite pixie hangs head in shame. I apologise and I hope it will be accepted.
Yes, that incautious remark of mine evidenced several facts about me.
Fact One: that I am truly capable of being vacuous, thoughtless and shamefully shallow. That is a Leo thing.....and a Pwetty Pwincess failing.
I don't think I have ever hidden my light under any bushel.....or concealed the fact that I am totally consumed by my own importance. I may be a pixie - but you would never guess it - I stride the world as if I was 6' 2" and had the lats and pecs of a demi-god. Hah! As if!
Fact Two: Includes palpable evidence that though I am a little nelly - I am also male who can be judgmental and display lamentably integrated social skills towards women. Blame THAT on being an only child, educated by the Jesuits in an all-boy, boarding school and a Wild Colonial Boy.
Fact Three: I have a biggish mouth. And I can be verrah catty.
Fact Four: I am diminutive perfection, but who am I kidding! Calvin Klein won't be calling me up on my Princess Slimline-phone to model his undies. I am a sparrow, more like Edith Piaf than the star-quarterback type. I can do the heroin-chic waif - but you won't see me on those 40-foot long bill-boards showing my package in CK's new range.
Unless little nelly pixies suddenly become du jour - and I am not holding my breath waiting for that day.
TTB - You radiate an at-peace-with-yourself, calm magnificence in your writing. I visualise you as a Nilotic beauty.

One does *not* have a chitinous exo-skeleton and far too many legs!
Eight eyes roll...
Meeep! (Ya big mouth Ticklette! Get out of this one!)
Tick climbs on to table-top and draws skirts about knees tightly.......
Dah-ling! I meant that in a "loving-kindness" way.
Though ticks and spiders are both from the noble clan Chelicerates and I make a sweeping bow to my Lady, Madame Arachnida, I wuz thinking of the "more objectionable" clan sub-affiliates.....the Siphunculata and Mallophaga and the odious Otodectes Cynotis.
You know...."the uncouth branch of the Family.....with way too many legs."

NO! NO! NO! It was a compliment. Pure and simple. Why so fragile, Princess Lalique?
Princess Lalique has the genetic flaw of Self-Doubt. It is incremental with increasing age.
That is more crippling and destructive than the haemophilia genetic flaw carried by the Romanov's.

And if you are reading this Tick, 'smoking out' means lighting a fire to a house to force the people out. Crude, but effective. Are you planning revenge? notevayas
Notevayas must be some mysteriously discrete, fabulously alluring celebrity incognito.......or a pyromaniac? He has mentioned episodes that have only screened in the northern hemispere - so phew! I probably don't have to go into hiding.
I know what smoking out means, full well - it was the WHY of it that caught my attention.
Smoking out? - I am not a hive of wild honey-bees in a tree - though I am an absolute sweetie once you get to know me.
Why on earth do you want to smoke me out? I don't want soot and smuts on my couture! I am not Cinders!
(Though, I dunno - I think I *might* like to be ladder-rescued by a big, strong fireman!)
Revenge? - I would far rather climb into you lap and stick my tongue into your ear..........but we have not been introduced and though I am polyamorous, I am not a hoyden. I am also demurely partnered.
Relating to me verbally is probably *best* done with a jereboam of wine at your elbow - I am quixotic, which is also a synonym for stark, raving mad.
I'd like to point out that you're stereotyping a large group of people based on the actions of a few. Sure, there are some die-hard fangirls on LJ, some drooling, gibbering, slash-writing-and-loving girls, but there's also a good chunk of good people, rational people who like QE, people like myself and a bunch of folks on my friends list. And maybe they're not all fashion models, but who said they had to be, and why do we care about their appearance, anyway?

I say all this because I have made myself less in your eyes in trying to communicate with Princess Tick. notevayas
There is lore documented in a colossal, brass-locked, Moroccan leather-bound volume, compiled by La Tick's numerous cast-off boyfriend's, that the best way to communicate with La Princesse is to always remember that he has a very short attention span, but can always be distracted and attracted by all manner of bright, shiny, crackly, tinkly objects - like a heap of high-denomination notes and coins, new car keys.....or a clutch of gaily-printed atelier carry-bags spilling out fine shirtings and exquisite woollens and shoes in very small sizes.
Lay out a little trail, just like Hansel and Gretel did with bread crumbs and hoppity-skippity, along the forest path will come the diminutive Empresse of All He Surveys......and you can observe him pausing to examine all the pretty things he has found.......cooing and twirling in his splendid new couture....
Just waft a machiatto under his nose and continue to lay a trail of discreetly elegant, yet sumptuous baubles and apparel, and he will follow you all the way home.
Feed him on grapes, Brie, 9-grain sippettes of toast; Amontillado and chocolate cake and line his sleeping-basket with high-thread count linen and he will make a high-maintenance, but very lovely pet.
There will be tantrums. There will be tears and Ominous Silences, but they never last long - for out there in the big, wide world are EVEN MORE shops to be plundered and Lovely Things to be bought!
Walk once daily through the shopping mall to keep him in the best of condition......he is playful and is very fond of romps with his tug-toys.

- I too have always been 'different'...
What a sad bid for attention! Poor, poor, notevayas take
your medicine and stop your life-long career of eliciting
sympathy from the ladies and teasing the men! Remember
at the Pharmacy when you had that girl in tears almost- and
you were only there to get Allegra for your allergies?
Chivalry to women? Ha!
And how clever to imply your sisters won't speak to you
because you are involved with a man when they have no idea,
and justifiably avoid your 'associations'. Maybe things
were rough in childhood, but you are second-generation
American. Now you are a spoiled brat and that is only cute
in a teenager.
TTB and Tick have better things to do than to waste time un-
ravelling your neuroses. You are a very pitiable center to
your own small world 'notevayas'. The only thing you excell
at the teenagers scanning do not need to read about. They
can pick up the cheap novel at the corner store.
Be thankful you have attention from the only one who matters
to you- that you are 'preferred'- and can amuse as well.
In the play Six Degrees of Separation by John Guare a lone
figure walks on stage and states, "I read somewhere that
everyone on this planet is separated by only six other
people. Six degrees of separation...It's a profound thought
...How every person is a new door, opening up into other
worlds."
The play is a tragicomedy of race, class, and manners. The
movie is almost as good. Will Smith plays a gay con-artist
who ingratiates himself into the lives of wealthy New York
race-guilty white people by claiming to be the son of a
famous African-American actor Sidney Poitier who I am not
familiar with. Anyway, more than the financial benifit-
the pretender craves the emotional support and boost to his
ego. I hope I am not being what I flung out as an accusa-
tion, but I fear I am too strange to know. My excuse is
that my intention was simple- to chit chat- not troll for
undeserved sympathy.
If I amuse, I am paying my way, so to speak. I await your
judgements. I have a feeling after my last little outburst
I will have them! There should be more men on this site to
keep me in line! Women are too kind-hearted for me daytime,
as well as too fragile for anything else! Words are cheap
to some people, but I cherish them. Stopping now-notevayas.
Would not want to upset anyone but mind if I change the subject for a moment? But even with Mullet hair...doesn't Kyan look good?
