I imagine she'd be more comfortable with her shoes off. The heels are probably digging into the tendon at the back.

I've never worn that kind of shoe, so I don't know. but that's how it looks.

My screen is really dark and I have no idea how to make it brighter, so it's hard to get subtleties. It's at almost maximum brightness setting, and when it initially gets turned on it looks really bright. Then it's really bright in the login screen. Then I click on my name, and it starts loading my profile, and once everything appears on the desktop it gets much darker. I cannot figure out what setting to change in order to prevent this from happening when I log into my profile.

To address the photo on a moderately serious note...

I've rarely been in a position where the woman was on top of me. Each time, it makes me realize that the penis is not quite as mighty as it seems to be when I am on top and controlling it with my titanic skill. In fact, it's pretty small, not even as big as my hand. And yet she's orienting her whole body around it. It's quite different. and I wonder what kind of movement I could do with my body, but none seems like it would enhance the experience.

You people are completely uncharitable. It's clear from the photo that one of them has cramped or been otherwise injured, and the gentleman is searching WebMD frantically for some internetical medical advice, while the lady is looking back (in between searching on her iPhone with her right hand) to ask if he's found anything yet.

Apropos of nothing, I thought that Emerson (and perhaps ogged), among others, might get a kick out of the following passage, which I just came across for the first time tonight, from the Norton edition of Chekhov's "The Lady with the Dog."

"Repeated and bitter experience had taught him that every fresh intimacy, while at first introducing such pleasant variety into everyday life, and offering itself as a charming, light adventure, inevitably developed, among decent people (especially in Moscow, where they are so irresolute and slow to move), into a problem of excessive complication leading to an intolerably irksome situation."

Forgive me if I presume.

234:How explicit is that policy?

Apocryphal evidence—c'mon, who would tell me?—from my long-time employer of people "interrupted" at work suggest widely divergent outcomes. I'd guess if it's one other person finding a consenting pair, that there's a lot of discretion involved in most workplaces.

Now, I am wondering about the name "Flophouse." Seems oddly impotent.

And "mineshaft" too. Shafting the mine sounds de-foresting someone's pristine ecology.

Also: I have a friend who is in a film -- shown only in NYC's finest galleries, made by an artist with multiple solo shows to his credit and NYer, NYTimes, VV reviews, etc. -- set up much like this, but she's the one reading, and it's fashion mags.

That reminds me of of this film.

Chekhov invented the pseudonymous chat blog:


And through some strange, perhaps accidental, conjunction of circumstances, everything that was essential, of interest and of value to him, everything in which he was sincere and did not deceive himself, everything that made the kernel of his life, was hidden from other people; and all that was false in him, the sheath in which he hid himself to conceal the truth--such, for instance, as his work in the bank, his discussions at the club, his "lower race," his presence with his wife at anniversary festivities--all that was open.

Women. He writes of Gurov:
поэтому о женщинах отзывался почти всегда дурно, и когда в его присутствии говорили о них, то он называл их так:
- Низшая раса!

What 255 said. I had long hair as a girl, but I don't think it was ever as long as PK's.

But very cute photo.

I initially read this as alluding to a gender transition in your past. One that included a haircut.

Yeah, cute photo.

I had hair about half that long when I was about 3 [hippy parents, etc], but not that long again till late teens.

The pants leg thing, I dunno. I think he rolled his own pants legs up that morning and that's just how it turned out. One of the photo assistants offered to roll it down, but I said, "nah, that's just how he looks, you know?" I'm all about the documentary effect of Santa pictures--no fancy outfits for my kid!

And yes, he does look panicked. Which is hilarious, because they actually had a perfectly nice chat.

Or maybe he's been initiated into a gang.

221: No presumption at all, but where's the pause sign?

No, no; I wanted comments on this one.

What was "his 'lower race'" referring to?

In "The Lady with the Dog," Chekhov's narrator refers to women as a "lower race." (I may have been pwned regarding this distinction by lw's Cyrillic in 254, but I really wouldn't have the faintest idea. I may also have used italics too many times in this comment. Whatevs.)

EVERYONE IN THE WORLD should hear Chekhov's message.

Thanks for responding, Emerson. You made me laugh.

Strange that no-one has mentioned the cat.

At first glance of this picture, I thought that was a small black cat sitting quietly by the guy's right arm.

PK's hair looks great. And he has a very masculine face that offsets any gender-bending stuff. I see a surfer-boy future and a trail of broken hearts before he settles down.

Does he have a shark-tooth on a thong necklace? Isn't that required for surfer dudeness?

Not that there would be anything wrong with PK being girly.

My grandnephew has so many adoring female relatives that he talks like a girl. He also has a cute little toy tea service that he plays with.
