If it makes you feel any better, I don't find Asians of any body type or gender even remotely attractive and I'm half Japanese. So that's a diss on my own people. And if I was someone looking at me, I wouldn't find me even remotely attractive either. As it is all I seem to attract are morbidly obese perverted men and butch lesbians. Neither of which I have even the slightest interest in.

I still find it amusing that anything in that conversation was taken even remotely seriously. We were, after all, talking about a$$es.

Well, you didn't know, but you must've seen us white chicks with big booty around. It's ok, I guess. I dunno, it was a strange racial distinction for me. I guess we all like our stuff - mine's usually just not racially based. Although, since I have a cheekbone fetish, and a straight black hair fetish, I do find many Asian people attractive. But, I always find cheekbones attractive, no matter who has them, so.
Sorry about your "morbidly obese" and "butch lesbian" problem Today I heard yet another monologue about my booteh from one of my sweet AFA brothers passing by on a bike. I think he followed me for a few blocks ( ) so I guess we all have our "things".
And by the way, to me, butts are VERY SERIOUS!!!! it's my favorite body part! The one I always stare at!

Stew was totally right when he said that I like surprises. I have to be wowed consistently to have anything hold my interest when it comes to music. But, we're all different.

Well, Stevie suprises me a lot. Not now (which I hate) but before.
Remember, I don't even have, like, 1% of the live shows from back in the day that most people have. I would have to agree with you wholeheartedly about more recent tours.
By the way, just to give you advance notice, my birthday is in...uh...4 months if you want to compile a bunch of blondie performances (video) for me.

Well since I am primarily attracted to white men, and they only rarely have any a$$ to speak of, I don't usually rate that part all that high on my list, believe it or not.

As for the morbidly obese men thing... you have no idea... no idea...

I kid you not I had this one guy going after me who weighed 415 pounds and didn't want to lose any of it because he was convinced that with those big man boobs he could lactate. He wanted me to "suckle" off of them.
I can't remember his name but whenever either myself or one of my friends speak of him, he is referred to as "Mammary Man."

You're not so subtle. I need to put all my vids on DVD so I can make copies of them. I've gotten so much in the past few months it's ridiculous. I'm totally digging Deb's Jazz Passengers shows, they're fabulous. Too good for words. I love that improv stuff, it's genius. And it takes so much guts, I'd have a heart attack if I had to do it.

You haven't met the right ones.

Yes, improv is anxiety inducing, but I much prefer doing it with music rather than acting.
I know, sorry, i've rarely, wait, never, been subtle about my birthday. Maybe just one or two? I don't have any videos, so... *blink, blink*

That's really weird.
And who are these a**less white men? I've dated plenty with non flat a**es.
Hmmm, my "constant booty" monologues don't seem so serious now.
It's more like I have to constantly swat away annoying gnats, whereas you have to kill one big roach.
JK.

Ah, the "Chiffonheads" can go blow me.....

I worship Stevie to the max. I love her a LOT more than Lindsey- way more as a matter of fact. "Croak" perfectly applies to her one-note droning

"All the same- baby, all the same
All the same..."

from Live in Boston. If one can't see that, they they might as well worship at the alter of Britney Spears and Ashleigh Simpson.

One the other end of the spectrum- I was listening to "Sleeping Angel" in the car on the way home from work tonight. That vocal is really, really, unbelievably amazing! WOW!!

That's kinda how I feel, though not always with the same songs. But I would never tell "Chiffonheads" to "blow me" cause I am not that limber...

Perhaps not.

You ain't lying on that Her voice SOARED. She tried so hard to soar on the Enchanted tour during that song. I readily admit she missed on occasion, but when she nailed - tears and lots of them. See, that is why I get, for want of a better word, upset with her. I KNOW she can soar. She did a little during SG on this last tour and she did after the tour for Chris Issak. I think she knows she is a woman in on the downside of 50 who lived a very hard life and is trying to hold onto her voice, impressing only when it seemingly suits her to do so. Yet, the glimpse of the "picture of what [she] used to be] can be glorious a la Beautiful Child on the last tour

I also think she is more interested in singing anything but Rhiannon, Dreams, etc. so she tries harder on those instead of being rote.

Well, that was a ramble - now what was that about blowing you

yeah...unfortunate. I try not to date musicians anyway,(and if I do, I prefer bass players, and alternately, drummers) and lindsey is technically too skinny for me...but...those eyes! OH! those eyes...
*sigh*
I was also pretty stoked when I saw his "man flaps" when his shirt rose up a little during the concerts...*sigh, gush*

I did Noises Off (my favorite ) when I was in college and that was nerve-wracking. Only did three shows, but still, I thought I was going to pass out because I was so nervous. It wasn't the sort of thing that you could really rehearse for, so it was pretty loose and I was terrified. It was shortened a tad, though, so that made it better.

hoo, shoot, that is quite the show, indeed. You're lucky you got to do it, though. I merely watched in a local theatre production, where, of course, the "I could've done better" vibe was running through my head. (yes, I am gross).
Did you do well? Props!
I have to admit, I love rehearsing and really learning my songs and parts in and out. I just feel slightly more comfortable with singing on the spot, I guess. But more in a "hum a harmony" sense then a "bust out a solo singing performance" sense.
Although, I'm a better actress than singer, probably.

I didn't do well the first night, I was all over the place. But I thought I did well the other two times. It's exhausting. And if you made any mistakes, you had to cover them up as quick as lightning and incorporate them into the show. That was where I stammered a bit at first.

I love to sing anything, I really do. I have times where I'll sit and sing for hours and sometimes just make **** up. My big thing this past week was singing Natalie Cole's "Unforgettable" album, though. Lush Life was one of the hardest songs I've ever tried to sing, but now that I have it down pat, I can't stop singing it.
