Roma |

morning, amigos! thanks for all the warm wishes and such. tis truly appreciated. sadly, my time to enjoy the wee child was short lived because i had to be back at work this weekend. my company doesnt offer any kind of paid maternity leave, for dads. to be fair, i could take unpaid leave or use vacation time, but neither of those options sound appealing at this point. btw, my company stresses family first. yeah… but again, thanks.

let me preface this by stating that i have seen two burlesque shows in my lifetime and neither of which left me feeling anything other than a tingling in the nether regions. so, can someone explain to me the appeal or all the critical praise for dita von whatevertherest is? i have seen some of her performances and calling them “amazing,” as some have, seems a wee bit of an overstatement. the latest i saw was a brief clip of her performing topless in a champagne glass with an ever classy cointreau logo draped in back of her, which, again, caused a shit load of b to c list celebs to gush over her like a squirt flick. until i get such praise for rubbing my junk in a vat of newcastle i will fail to recognize her to be nothing more than a chick that likes to show her tits a lot, as nice as they are.

more in depth posting will resume, tomorrow. in the mean time…
