And often, having great shoes often leads to great sex. This woman just hasn't thought things through. Maybe she should spend less time watching 'big brother'....Trixyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02015060663707102784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12147812.post-1122734870237249192005-07-30T14:47:00.000+00:002005-07-30T14:47:00.000+00:00I read this today in the Times, written by the won...I read this today in the Times, written by the wonderfully acidic Julie Burchill, and thought of you...<BR/><BR/>----------------------<BR/><BR/>The sterile life of ‘Shoesers’<BR/><BR/>I’M GOING to do a total Makosi here — that is act in a profoundly two-faced and self-contradictory manner — and maintain that while I feel it is very difficult to put one’s finger on who is having better sex, it is nevertheless quite easy to put one’s finger on people who are having worse sex. <BR/><BR/>Female columnists who say, over and over again, that “sex isn’t everything.” (You wish, you frigid little mule.) Women who say: “Chocolate is better than sex.” (Not if you’re doing it properly, dear.) Women who close their eyes after the first spoonful of dessert and go “Oooo. Orgasm.” (My gosh, you’ve really never had one, have you!) Any broad who bangs on overmuch about shopping — apparently three out of four Frenchwomen would rather shop than have sex, and this being the case no wonder all their husbands are having affairs. (In my experience, there’s only one time of your life when it’s not tragic to prefer shops to sex — and that’s when you’re a shoplifting teenage virgin, getting your parasexual kicks from pilfering. Bliss!) <BR/><BR/>Yes, all these types have surely faked orgasm more times than Makosi has faked friendship. But is there any sadder, more transparently non-climactic female than the one who is obsessed with shoes? According to a recent survey, most women buy a new pair of shoes every month. Why? Do they have 12 pairs of feet? <BR/><BR/>I just can’t help thinking that there must be some sort of inverse ratio between shoes bought and orgasms had. “Shoesers”, I’ve noticed, also tend to go in for girly evenings, where a lot of bad blush wine is downed, a few half-assed secrets revealed and a job-lot of men dissed. Yet these sexually desiccated boobies never have the guts to go the whole hog and cross the floor. The fact is that if you can’t “come off”, as it is coarsely known, with men then you’re probably a lesbian. Don’t fight it! Being a lesbian is both a good laugh and a noble cause, and there’s not a lot of things you can say both of. <BR/><BR/>I’m trying hard not to be judgmental here. But you know what? On their deathbed, people generally think: “I wish I’d had more sex!” I bet there aren’t many sad sods who think: “I wish I’d bought more shoes!”<BR/><BR/>--------------------<BR/><BR/><BR/>Don't worry about Julie though - she's only trying to shock people as usual... Quite amusing though - don't you think?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
