True Love (in Plush)

Based on the extremely large success of the giant stuffed penis, I decided to make my college roommate a giant stuffed Glenn Danzig doll. She was totally in love with him, and frequently told people that she was saving her “golden snatch for Glenn.” This way she could literally sleep with Glenn whenever she desired. I even made a big dick for Glenn, as you might note from the bulge in his sex faux leather pants made out of felt.

(Incidentally, the silver scribble over Plush Glenn's face is the actual autograph of Glenn Danzig, who I completely disturbed when I presented the picture of me with Plush Glenn for an autograph at a comic convention I accompanied my friend to so that we could see him. Now, if you have ever heard Glenn's music or worse, read his comic books, which are extremely violent and sexually graphic, frequently in the same scene, you will find it as hilarious as I do that I made him nervous. On the other hand, I find it fair to say that if anyone came up to me with a Plush Suzanne, I'd also think a restraining order would be a reasonable option, although a short, hairy, and fat 21 year old is a lot less scary have a short, hairy, and buff heavy metal rock star.)

A Tale of Two Titties

One of the best decisions I ever made was to have breast reduction surgery, or as I like to say, have most of my tits chopped off. The problem with huge, saggy boobs is that they weigh a ton. I’m only about five feet tall, for crying out loud. Most of me was my boobs. It became very hard for me to carry around my chest and anything else, like a backpack or purse. My shoulders and neck hurt like hell and my bra straps were starting to dig canals into me. I was growing increasingly worried about finding a gondolier guiding tourists down my back some day. My decision to have the surgery ultimately led me to another good decision, which was to lose some weight before I got my tits cut off. See, the nice thing about big boobies is that they create a tenting effect on t-shirts. I used the tent to full advantage to hide my gut. I feared if the tent poles disappeared, then my gut would hang out for the world to see. The thought horrified me, so I got my ass in gear and joined a gym.

Anyway, having plastic surgery is a farce. Plastic surgeons make a living from reminding you about what you hate about yourself physically Thus I was met at my initial appointment by a man who looked like a weasel/child molester who told me how terrible I looked, and had me pose for diagnostic pictures topless and with my gut hanging out. The Polaroids were then sent to my insurance company as proof that I had the ugliest boobs in America and that they needed to pay to fix them, lest I destroy the patriotic spirit of all red-blooded American males. (No, I didn’t worry that the pictures would wind up in the wrong hands. Playboy wasn’t going to be contacting me any time soon unless they wanted to blow a year of their budget for airbrushing.) The insurance people agreed that I endangered my own health and the nation’s love of perky breasts, so they approved the procedure, and I was good to go.

I arrived at the hospital bright and early on the day of my surgery. Weasel doctor drew what appeared to be a diagram of football plays on each boob, outlining where they’d cut. Basically, the game plan was this: the center was to chuck my nipples aside, the quarterback would put them in a little jar to preserve them, and then the wide receivers would flay me in two smooth plays, scoop out tissue and fat, hack off any excess skin, and then sew me back up and replace the nips. Touchdown! I’d have cute new little boobies. Still, I couldn’t help but wonder what would happen if the center threw wide and the wide receivers forgot to replace the nipples. I hoped I could at least take them home in the jar of formaldehyde and keep ‘em as a souvenir. Anyway, I was given anesthesia, said good-bye to my old tits, and hut, hut, hike, I was out like a light.

The end result was amazing. The surgeon may have been an egomaniacal weasel - at my follow up appointment, he repeatedly praised himself for his brilliant “art” work; I liked my new tits a lot, but didn’t appreciate being treated like a sculpted lump of clay - but he made my saggy old lady boobs into adorable lovable little natural fake titties. (Natural because they there’s nothing fake in them, but fake because they didn’t get this way naturally.) It was literally a load off my shoulders, although for weeks afterwards I had no feeling in my chest, which pretty much meant that anyone could cop a feel without me noticing. This made me a little paranoid when riding on a crowded subway, but it was still much better than heaving around boulders on my chest. It’s been almost seven years since the surgery, and I couldn’t be happier, although I do sometimes search the internet to see if the pictures were leaked to any saggy boobs fetish sites. Fortunately, the pictures seem to remain safely hidden away in a secret storage facility somewhere, much like the Ark of the Covenant and other relics.

After going through so much to get rid of my ginormous boobs, I find it hard to understand why anyone would pay good money to have bigger jugs tacked onto them. I’m sure women with implants would question why I paid good money to get rid of mine. But let me tell you again: that shit hurt. I’d think that lugging around a big silicone tit bag would be no different. I’m not against all implants, either - it’s obvious that breasts are as important to the women who wear them as they are to their partners who desire them and our society’s obsession with ogling them. It makes perfect sense to replace breasts lost to disease or accidents. But it doesn’t make sense to me to fuck around with perfectly good titties so that guys stare at your chest instead of your face when you are trying to have a conversation with them. Unless, of course, a person is irredeemably ugly and it costs less to divert attention from your ugly mug to your jugs. But I doubt most women find themselves in such a dire situation.

These are a Few of My Favorite Undies - Victoria's Secret

There is nothing shameful in owning undies from Victoria's Secret, even if their models create unrealistic expectations - that's what models are supposed to do. Anyway, I own several pairs and one lightly padded bra (and used to own a lot of Victoria's Secret bras way back in college, which I discovered still in my dresser and childhood bedroom and which will appear here in the future).

I got a coupon in the mail for a free pair of seamless underwear from a new line that they rolled out several years ago. I love free things, so I rolled in and picked these up. They're a weird lycra blend and I try to never wear them to the gym because they don't absorb sweat as well as cotton, and for reasons I don't understand, my crotch sweats like a mad motherfucker. (I'm sure you all wanted to know that, but it is true and explains my love for cotton undies.) These are also slighly oddly sized regular briefs. Anyway, I got another coupon for free undies from this product line from Victoria's Secret, and got a pair of bikinis in white. They too are oddly sized. In fact, despite the clear labeling on each pair which says one is a bikini and the other a full brief, they are the same size. Whatever. They were free, so I'm not really complaining, even if it seems like I am. Theo finds them adequate, by the way.



These are actually my favorite style from Victoria's Secret - low rise bikini underwear. I have three total pair, the maroon pair at left so dashingly modeled by Theo, a pink pair (I seem to have a lot of pink underwear), and a gray pair. I look nowhere are appealing in them as Theo does. They are really too low and my gut dwarfs them. But the are comfy, cotton, and mostly cover my ass, so that is good. They also tuck nicely into low rise pants, as low rise underwear should. My main complaint is that when I bend over in low rise pants with such low rise underwear, I look a lot like the plumber from "Saturday Night Live" skits in the 1970s, albeit with far less ass hair. Too much crack though.

Literally these are the worst underwear I can imagine. They look like shit on poor Theo, who was a good sport and agreed to appear on the internet in them anyway, and they look worse on me. At least theo looks like he merely has two garbage bags attached to his front and back. I have fat bulging out everywhere. Unfortunately, I have three pairs of these: the charming leafy print shown at left (which I also have a pair of briefs in, I just realized, thus I have more pictures to take), a red pair, and a blue pair I am wearing at this very second. I really hate them. I wear them anyway since I spent good money on them, but can't wait until they develop a big hole so I can trash them without feeling guilty. The only plus is that they are all cotton.

Damn, I now remembered that I have some regular bikini undies from Victoria's Secret as well as the regular cotten briefs. So stay tuned for a second Suzanne's Victoria's Secret Underwear fashion show.

My Attempt at a Normal Hot Gossip-y Post!

Yay! My computer access is back...

Anyway, last night I was on my way to a pro-choice event (the real pro-lifers, let's be honest, are pro-choice since we support living women) in New Haven and reading Entertainment Weekly on the train. There's an article about Brokeback Mountain and it had lots of pictures of Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger. My initial reaction was so "girlie" gossipy: Jake Gyllenhall is so fucking hot. But you know, Peter Saarsgard, who is not in this movie, is also fucking hot. I thought that if only Peter was cast in Brokeback Mountain instead of Heath, I could see the appeal of two guys having sex. I've never really thought about gay porn (although I have a female friend who swears it is good shit), but thinking about Peter and Jake, it makes sense.

See, here I was going to just post a normal "girlie" gossip-y thing about thinking that an actor was hot, but I fucked it up. I try to be normal once in a while, I really do. I just can't help my twistedness. It always triumphs in the end. (I wish Peter would too - ha ha ha...)

Quick apology/warning on Pearl Harbor Day

I got one post up a little late this morning, but I am having some very serious connectivity problems at work (like, not being able to log onto my computer, for starters) and some small ones at home - as punishment for working at home over Thanksgiving when I should have been taking it easy, I seem to have infected my home machine with the same viruses we are suffering from at work. So bear with me as new posts might be slow in coming. I apologize if that means you will have nothing to read while trying waste time at your own work. (I am quite bummed about it, believe me.)

Damn, That Chick is Hot!

Reflecting upon the gift of a giant stuffed chick that my boyfriend’s roommate in college gave his girlfriend in 1995, I wonder if there was some sort of desire that my roommate’s boyfriend had. He always was claiming that lesbians made him hot, so maybe he gave his girlfriend a giant stuffed chick so he could watch them together. (Seriously, check out the lips/beak on this chick. Angelina Jolie has nothing on those!) It’s like some super weird fetish – a lesbian plushie fantasy.

These are a Few of My Favorite Undies - Designer and Not



Theo is sporting my all time favorite kind of underwear - Jockey bikini briefs. They provide excellent front and rear coverage, and the elastic bands at the leg hold them firmly in place. Wedgies are never a problem! (Although I did buy a few pair that were a size too small and the elastic is so tight that they practically cut off the circulation to my legs.) I have these undies in many fine colors: light blue, dark blue, white, gray, beige (ecru if you want to be fancy), and as seen, pink. They are 100% cotton and come in packs of three for $15. (I wait for Macy's or other stores to have a sale and usually get them for $12, which I still think is a little pricey, but they are worth it.)




In this shot, Theo is luxuriating in the designer undies of Calvin Klein. Generally, I do not buy single pairs of undies (I like them protected in a tidy box or bag), and certainly not designer undies, but I was in Chicago for a conference last November and had a minor situation, which led me to purchase them. (No, I did not crap or piss my pants.) I was staying at my parents' house in the 'burbs and commuting downtown to the conference. My fancy gym happens to have a branch across the street from where the conference was held, so I packed a gym bag and planned to workout while I was downtown. As I was heading downtown, I realized that I forgot to pack a pair of clean underwear to change into after I worked out and showered. Fortunately, the Lord & Taylor (or was it Marshall Field's?) at Water Tower place was having a sale and I ran in to buy some (hopefully) clean undies to change into after my workout. These cute CKs were marked down to $2.99 (about 75% off), which is a fair price, so I bought them. I love the fake fly on the front. I thought that they'd be huge, but sadly, my ass is much bigger than I thought, and I should have gotten a bigger size for better ass-and-gut coverage. Still, they are good enough, and Theo definitely looks very nice in them.

Tomorrow, Theo will bring a Victoria's Secret quartet to life.
