I scream, you scream, we all go to extremes to score the one we want to tease and please. Well, okay, some more than others, and the rest of us only sometimes.
Folks trek vast physical distances or make large leaps in logic to win the ones who make […]

I have to go now

I have an outhouse to decorate. I’m fascinated by cottage outhouses.
My mom has managed to transform hers into a wooden superbooth of hope and “Believe in Yourself!” messaging plastered all over the walls. There among the E.T. poster and dream catchers are watercolour scrolls of the Footprints […]

We talk sexy talk

Ever try talking dirty to your lover? How’s that working out?
I used to believe it was enough for ladies to splay themselves out naked on the centre of a cool, white bed, and — presto! — their job was done. For the most part, I think girls can […]

Most couples are fearful that infidelity, finances or jogging pants will dissolve a marriage, but there’s a more terrifying monster lurking in the shadows.

Go your own way

Because talent’s exclusive to bands without pay
Know it all - did you really listen to that song?
Could you ever write what you call wrong?

Check the expiry date

Ottawa XPress │ Shotgun │ April 27, 2006
When Grandpa slipped Grandma the tongue at Easter dinner, little did we know the affectionate display could forever change our own romantic futures.

Sport ‘n’ sexy wheels

Ottawa XPress │ Shotgun │ April 20, 2006
When I think about how easy it would be for me to squat cowgirl on my man, on command, in the front seat of a ‘69 Dodge Charger, or compact myself low down to blow him in the cramped space of a dirty bar bathroom, I thank the […]

Britney spearheads new view of rear end

Ottawa XPress │ Shotgun │ April 13, 2006

When I hear the term “doggy style,” I think Snoop Dogg. But I also think of a preferred sexual position which invites cupping or bucking so tender your lover’s hands are free to wander like spiders over soft flesh while you’re poised to push into your man’s hard […]

Celebrities from far and wide are being tortured in Canada. That’s right, last week media and pundits abused and ridiculed the McCartneys and Brigitte Bardot for speaking out against Canada’s seal hunt, or “massacres,” which they call horrific.
Being the polite, reciprocating Canadians […]

Telemummies

I can’t have a baby now, my outfit is all wrong!
According to 99 percent of the television commercials featuring wives and mothers and laundry detergent or minivans, without high-waisted beige chinos, I’m nothing.
Add to that the absence of matching pastel knit co-ordinates and a delicate gold […]
