Action Babe and the Elusive Villain

August 23, 2009 by D. A. Wolf 5 Comments

There was a babe, a push-up corset, a little bit of rock hard belly peeking through. One chic cuff on the left wrist. Hourglass figure, strong thighs, black boots, and big, batting, heavy eyelashes, the false kind, though her eyes were sharp and aware as she readied for attack. She was more than an action […]

Outnumbered! (Teenage parties)

August 22, 2009 by D. A. Wolf Leave a Comment

Twenty rambunctious teens. One of you. Now what? Did you promise your teenager a party? Did you get through in one piece? Last year I promised my son he could have a major bash. He’d been doing great in school, had just returned from an overseas academic program, and he wanted to party. All night, […]

White Palace. Twisted Pleasure. Empties.

August 21, 2009 by D. A. Wolf 6 Comments

“Shall I get condoms?” Silence. “It’s like having band-aids in the house,” I say. “Good to have around. Just in case.” I turn to my son, see the grin, and make one of those critical parental decisions. The kind you feel in your gut. I’m long past embarrassment when I purchase anything. Well, almost. It […]

Dress My WHAT?

August 20, 2009 by D. A. Wolf 6 Comments

One night last week, I was skimming web pages when I stopped cold at an article entitled “Dress Your Age.” Dress your age, in this day and age? Are we still defining and maligning who can wear what based on the year of their birth? Apparently so. Take a gander at Google on this particular […]

Saucy single mother seeks kept woman position

August 18, 2009 by D. A. Wolf 8 Comments

I am not a kept woman. But I have nothing against it. In fact, I’m all for it! Consider this my online announcement: SAUCY SINGLE MOTHER SEEKS KEPT WOMAN POSITION. My, but I’ve traveled a far piece of road since the heady, feminist 70s. (Cover your bunny ears, Gloria Steinham! Pull down the brim of […]

After enjoying the Season 3 opener of AMC TV’s award-winning drama, Mad Men, I was pleased to note a few things I hadn’t expected. Viewers are plunged into revelations concerning key characters as they continue to act out hidden agendas that foster lies, deception, and infidelity. We are offered greater insight into the psychological make-up […]

What do we build?

August 15, 2009 by D. A. Wolf 2 Comments

My 17-year old was bent over the patio table outside, with two friends, well after midnight. Nothing unusual in that – they joke around, they eat and drink. Mostly, they chat and listen to music, sometimes gathered around a laptop. Surprise, surprise Last night I was curious. I wanted to know what they were doing, […]
