***F.Y.I***
Zondra Hughes wrote the sizzling new novel, The M.O.O.D. Lounge
How low will women go for ‘love’?
Some women will hit rock bottom; but others will continue to dig. This is a tale about the diggers—and their ultimate redemption.
Three emotionally wounded women: Eva James, an entertainment publicist in love with her only client; Fawn LaFollette, an accidental porn star; and Drusilla Vidal a prosecutor in lust with a convict; share an embarrassing secret: Their men are literally sexing them stupid. Time and again the women get entangled in compromising positions, erotic mishaps and sexual indiscretions, that is, until a renegade sex therapist offers the ultimate plot for revenge: Sexual independence. Armed with their battery operated boyfriends in tow, the women join forces to create Multiple Orgasms On Demand, and their official playhouse, The M.O.O.D. Lounge, is born. Part group therapy, part adult toy party, The M.O.O.D. Lounge offers a first-class tour of decadence and delight. Welcome to The M.O.O.D. Lounge.
Come as you are. Come all you want.

Have you seen the latest on Project Runway?
Keith Michael--what a name for a designer!--won the first challenge. Super handsome, super charming and super talented.
(Alison Kelly is a great name too)
Some say Keith's arrogant, I say he's confident, he knows he's good.

Then second episode, Malan--oh, I can't believe, I would have loved to find out more about your exquisite style and hear more of that laugh. (Heard it yet? He has this devilish laugh that's contagious.

What a fun show!
So many talented artists, one of these days,
And Austin Scarlet (from season one) you're the tops too, I know you can make me gorgeous.
I would have consideredSantino, except, well, I'm into "save the animals" and he hunts, so... Santino, we'll talk when you turn vegan or vegetarian's cool too.

Oh, no! Keith Michael may get kicked out???
Have you read?
Fans of Project Runway and bitchy gay guys, brace yourselves: Season 3 contestant Keith Michael, he of the face like a bird (fine, a cute bird), may have cheated on his Project Runway application.
