“Do you
want to get laid today?!” I asked
New Dude when he picked me up bright and early on Saturday morning. For this, our first road trip together, he’d shown up in a mustard yellow Hawaiian shirt that

Oh, how I love a break up right before my birthday!
Since my divorce, I’ve only been attached (and precariously at that) twice on my birthday. The first time was to EconMan (you can read about that unhappy occasion
here); the second time

“Do you think I’m getting too thin?” I ask Dave one night as we spoon dispassionately in bed.
“Is this a trick question?” he asks.
“No, I’m serious.”
“I think you look hot,” he says, taking one of my butt cheeks in his hand. “You’re not thin, you’re slim. There’

It may be Holy Week according to the church calendar, but Man Eater just had the most sinful Easter weekend ever.
I want to tell this story seductively while still being discreet. Why? I could say it’s because the man of the moment is high profile. I could say it’s because he’

You asked for it. Okay, perhaps not you, personally, but one of my readers challenged me to dedicate a post to why, if I don’t drink, I date so many men who do.
At first, I thought my reader was way off base.

I know you wanna know.
And I’ll tell you…but before I do, I need to rewind to that Sunday (a.k.a. Day 28 of my cycle) when I asked (read: insisted) that Slump Buster give me a sexy send-off before my departure for Portland. He begrudgingly agreed, though failed to nail down

Slump Buster has asked that I refrain from writing about him, a request I find surprising considering where I left off in the last post. You’d think he’d want me to finish that part of the story… (‘Cause if the recent hits are any indication, I know you readers do!)
Well, babe,

My second day in Portland marked Day 30 of my cycle. (I hope you don’t need a tutorial in female reproductive matters, readers. 30 days is late by almost any woman’s calendar.) Baby brain soon polluted my blissful vacation. Chubby cherubs were all over the place! When I flipped on the TV, the first

Man Eater is an over-achiever. Leave it to me to hit two milestones in one date.
Sunday night was my first fight with Slump Buster. It started off as you might expect: with silence. Despite my optimistic attitude on Sunday morning, as the day slogged along, sans confirmation from Slump Buster about our date

What defines a date? Seriously. I want to know. ‘Cause somewhere along the line, I got labeled as “Couch Potato Chick”. After the requisite coffee, lunch, and dinner outings, we arrive at date three, have sex, and suddenly my suitors relegate me to “let’s stay in” status.
…not that I mind necessarily. Home

After the New Year’s dinner date with My Little Indian (see previous post), I confessed via e-mail that I wanted to keep things platonic. To my surprise, he didn’t mind; in fact, he invited me out for sushi. A week later, on a frigid January night, we met up at the chi-chi

Tic-toc, the pants are gonna drop. Soon. (Can I get an AMEN?) In preparation, I returned to my journals for a quick review in how-not-to-hook-up.
On New Year’s Day, 2009, My Little Indian offered to make me dinner for our third date. As he embarked on meal prep, I stood in the doorway of

“Ooh—there’s a really cute guy behind you,” Mom said the other night at the jazz club. We’d gone to see one of my childhood friends sing. Aside from the music, Mom was enjoying hypothetically matching me up with every bachelor in sight—even the ineligible ones.
Mom gave me the hubba-hubba

Just when you thought apple pie couldn’t get any better…MAN EATER comes along and flips the sexiest recipe in existence on it’s head. Literally.
“Why another apple pie?” you groan. “How many ways can you possibly vary the same dozen ingredients?” Well, skeptical readers: 1) You can never have enough apple pie. 2)

MAN EATER adores acronyms. I can’t get enough PDA, UPS, LMAO, BEP, PB &J, BLT, and, of course, BJs.
Then there are the unappetizing acronyms I avoid like HSM: HPV and OPP.

The force field has been actived. My taxi cab light is on (to borrow a metaphor from Sex and the City). I’m ripe. I’m juicy. I’m ready. I can feel it.
The men are circling, like the hound dogs they are. They’re sniffing me out. So why hasn’t anyone

Due to my “day job” (a.k.a. the hocking of my memoir INSATIABLE), I’ve spent the last week talking non-stop to women about not-eating.
As many of you know, I’m allergic to all things fluffy and female. I thrive on flirtation. Debate makes me wet. I do not, however, get off

“Dangling the Carat” (a.k.a. carrot cake) seems like the appropriate recipe today because it is one of the chapter titles of INSATIABLE (my memoir now available in bookstores everywhere).
Because eating disorders are anything but sexy, I consider the marketing of that book my “day job”. MAN EATER is my escape. I
