Paula, what the hell is Sister of the Boob? Did that have to do with someone pinching Stevie's boob in a poster???

I can't remember exactly how it started, but during the SYW tour, there were so many people posting pics they had taken & Stevie's ta-ta's were very visible in most of them. It was brought up in a thread (by me? Suze? Amber? not sure) and as soon as one person mentioned it, everyone started replying that they noticed her boobs too.

Yes, we were/are aware that she had put on a few pounds, and yes we were/are aware that the girls are squashed up with much help from bras & corset & such. BUT - they looked great! I wasn't sure why I was so enthralled with her chest, but I was & so were other straight gals here. So, I wrote a parody to Sister of the Moon & made up a club for us gals. Then, of course some of the gays wanted in (the gays love me, you know), so I made them brothers of the boob. It's not really a club, there's no special jacket or anything (although, that would be way cool...) but it kind of stuck & here we are.

I just looked for my song, but I think it's gone, swept away when they cleaned out The Ledge of old posts.

1 - No, not really
2 - We're bored out of our minds
3 - No clue
4 - Yes, but we're laughing at eachother, not with
5 - I like space, planets are cool.



OK, OK. Yes! I am truly very happily married. When we got together, we weren't expecting it - neither of us was looking for a long term relationship, since I had just ditched my boyfriend of 3 years & Mark had just gotten out of the Navy (both things happened a few months before we got together.) We had actually met a few years earlier, my ex & he had mutual friends, so it wasn't like he picked me up in a bar or anything - I've known him since I was 16.

I actually planned on hooking him up with my friend & she didn't show . We started hanging out more & more & it just happened. Been together almost 12 years now. And of course you get bored sometimes, but in general we have really similar interests so we have a great time. But we do have enough differences that we can do our own thing too & not be smothered. Damned if he wants to watch old Mac videos with me, and damned if I want to watch him play a video game, so that works out pretty well. We laugh a lot (with AND at eachother) and I feel really lucky to be so happy with my life.

I hope that covered it. I know you probably still don't get it, but I tried.


Stew - what was the last concert you attended? Have you always had problems going out in public places, or did it develop over time? Is your partner understanding about it?
