Dishabille.

I’m rocking a porn star level of cleavage today, a fact which I only noticed upon catching a glimpse of my reflection in the elevator doors. Of course, a normal person would never have left the house in such a state, but as I happen to hate everything about the way I look, I tend not to spend more time than absolutely necessary in front of the bathroom mirror.

But I don’t really care about all the boobage; it’s far too hot for modesty. All together now: How hot is it? It’s so hot that I couldn’t figure out why I was sticking to all of the manhole covers on my walk home yesterday, until I realized that MY SOLES WERE MELTING FROM THE CONTACT.

There’s a metaphor in there for you kids.

*****

He stood up abruptly and pushed the barstool away as he turned toward me. With his right hand he reached for me, turned my face to meet his before his intentions even occurred to me as a possibility, my reflexes dulled to barely a shimmer from the icy liquor. And suddenly I couldn’t catch my breath – not because of the kiss – but from the contact of his palm against my cheek, the tips of his fingers in my hair.

It’s a searing memory, and as oppressive as it sometimes is, I’m glad to have it.

  3. I'll take the rerun because 1) it mentions cleavage right away, and also 2) I can use this as an excuse to put off writing anything new.

    I think I had inappropriate cleavage at the tea party yesterday, but IT WAS SO FUCKING HOT.

  5. I overheard two nuns having the following conversation yesterday:

    Nun1: It is so motherf***ing hot right now.
    Nun2: F***in' A.

    When the heat causes nuns to curse openly and without shame, you know that hell is just around the corner.

  8. I think I would need a boob job to have inappropriate cleavage, although my favorite hot-weather sundress comes close (my favorite for hot weather because it looks like a maternity dress, so there's a nice breeze). Let's all stay inside and drink something with lots of ice.
