'Dirty Girls'


Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

( continues...) Ah she gasped, pressing her hands against her sharp nipples, and flinging her legs apart. Instantly, one of her hands was caught, and while Mr. Palmato, rising, bent over her, his lips on hers again, she felt his firm fingers pressing into her hand that strong fiery muscle that they used, in their old joke, to call his third hand. My little girl, he breathed, sinking down beside her, his muscular trunk bare, and the third hand quivering and thrusting upward between them, a drop of moisture pearling at its tip.

She instantly understood the reminder that his words conveyed, letting herself downward along the divan till her head was in line with his middle she flung herself upon the swelling member, and began to caress it insinuatingly with her tongue. It was the first time she had ever seen it actually exposed to her eyes, and her heart swelled excitedly: to have her touch confirmed by sight enriched the sensation that was communicating itself through her ardent twisting tongue. With panting breath she wound her caress deeper and deeper into the firm thick folds, till at length the member, thrusting her lips open, held her gasping, as if at its mercy; then, in a trice, it was withdrawn, her knees were pressed apart, and she saw it before her, above her, like a crimson flash, and at last, sinking backward into new abysses of bliss, felt it descend on her, press open the secret gates, and plunge into the deepest depths of her thirsting body "Was it like this last week? he whispered."

Because books.

Wow. I didn't know Edith had it in her. Um, so to speak.

Um, yeah. I believe I used the word porn?

The way my prof explained was that it was never for pub, just getting into the minds of her characters. And it is a very moving story, everything very understated and full of implication.

move out and draw fire

Wow. Learn something new every day.

Of course now I'm working on a theory that writers from a more repressive time had to work harder than writers who can get anything and everything published.

I need recs for airplane reading. I've got an 11 hour flight tomorrow and I am hopeless at browsing e-book sites. Any thoughts?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Any thoughts?

Misfortune by Wesley Stace. Sort of light, but well written and decidedly goth and sexually ambiguous.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

My professor never told me Edith Wharton wrote porn.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Whoa. It's pretty hot as porn goes, I have to admit, but "Mr. Palmato" is her bleedin' FATHER, isn't he? Colour me wigged.

I want to know where brenda's professor found that. Talk about a decent research topic.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Somebody on my flist shared this, and I think there are people here who would appreciate it.

Scans from St. Nicholas, a 19th century British children's magazine

Just a beautiful set of vintage engravings and drawings.
