mustache

the other night I was naked, laying in bed alongside Jim. His fingers trailing over my bare breasts, down to the warmth of my mons. He stops abruptly and says "What is this, a little hitler mustache?" Smiling a little nervously, I was a tad self conscious of my new shave job, he ran his fingers ran through the little tuft of hair.

Later the next day, on the sofa cuddled up to Jim watching tv & talking, while my daughter worked on an art project in another room, who knew what would next happen?

Suddenly my daughter appears smiling smugly of a girl doing no good, she walks into the room with a small little black mustache above her youthful 12 year old lip. [a piece of electrical tape] Jims face lights up as he sees her, then turns to look at me, nodding and says, "like mother, like daughter Jennifer." Took me less than a second for the light of recognition to come on, then I couldn't stop laughing.

Feminism, meaning the faith in women, the advocacy of rights of women, or the prevalence of female influence, did not appear until the 1890s following the 1892 First International Woman's Congress in Paris which used the label feministe.

Jane Mills, Woman Words 1989

"Mother, what is a Feminist?"
"A Feminist, my daughter,
Is any woman now who cares
To think about her own affairs
As men don't think she oughter."

Alice Duer Miller, 1915

I myself have never been able to find out precisely what feminism is: I only know that people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat or a prostitute.

Rebecca West, 1913

this came to my inbox and given that polyamory is such a hot topic these days in my life, I thought I'd repost it (with the authors consent) This is another example of how well loved I am by Allena and how we (our poly family of Allena, Jim & I) do not even need to be together, to be seen as shining love examples and obviously in love with another.

Hi Jennifer,

I was at a play party in Dallas over the weekend, and I overheard a woman sitting on a couch near me praising her awesome girlfriend "Jennifer" who was a kink educator.

I thought "Hmm, that description sounds familiar."

It turned out, of course, that it was Allena.

Even though we are a committed poly family, we still all play with others when opportunity and time permits. Made me chuckle to read the below as the email response for thanking P for his original note. P sent back the following email, which shows 1. his attentions towards my Bella and 2. that Bella was trying to get lucky with some woman in another state while on a road trip by herself for a change.

Hi Jennifer,

I would be honored for you to repost the email. Please use my "foole@icehouse.net" address for publication. What made the Dallas "Hallmark moment" particularly remarkable is that Bella was talking you up to an incredibly hot little domme named "M" who *I* was cruising, and who, in turn, was cruising Allena. I finally decided to try to match them up in the interest of promoting cultural diversity, (and in the hope of getting to watch a *Hot Lesbian Sex* scene later.) I told them that I thought they would be a good match, since I'd seen both of them play.[cut here]

For me, this is all a chance to practice COMPERSION.

Word of the day:

Compersion n: The feeling of taking joy in the joy that others you love share among themselves, especially taking joy in the knowledge that your beloveds are expressing their love for one another.

just finished writing up the Libido Events newsletter for March, part 1 of 2 of it anyways. In another window my mighty iBook is sending it out to the mailing list as we speak.

Jim left at noon today after arriving in to me yesterday. We spent a private night in together, forgoing BP for sex and sleep. Today had me homebound with my daughter doing mom stuff and helping her settle in after a weekends trip away camping with Girl Guides. It's been a long weekend and tomorrow there's a full day awaiting me.

The Libido Events Naughty Party is this coming Friday March 3rd. You can read today's Libido Events mail-out here.
