My sister received this book as a gift from me one Birthday when she was relatively young. I don't remember exactly why I chose it though.

Good choice for a girl of say 14?

(I have not read the book)

Tom Robbins is one of my favorite authors. Perhaps my favorite book of his is Jitterbug Perfume - though thats a toss up with Skinny Legs and All...

Cowgirls was the first Robbins book I tried to read... and couldn't get past the first chapter. Years went by and I finally read another one of his books. And quickly went through everything he had written up to that point. With nothing else left I finally went back to Cowgirls. And after making it through the first chapter I loved it... *smile*

Robbins is a treasure. His words resound with the magick that he writes about.

Dillinger. Jitterbug Perfume is one of my all-time favorite books.

I had the same problem with Skinny Legs and All that you did with Cowgirls. I tried and tried but couldn't get through the first chapter.

Robbins is not for young girls, mouse. He has a most unique take on things. Incredibly abstract, but once you get into the grove with him, there's no looking back.

Where were you 7 years ago? So she is a bit wacky, she's cool shit. I'll take credit for the good stuff and blame the rest on TV.

my girlfriend in law school looked like kd lang

Siren,

k.d. has always been and remains the ultimate lesbian for me.

Just looking up her sites tonight for lyrics got me hot. I mean it.

When I was into the lesbian scene, I went after the "boy/girls" that looked like her.

I know, this blows a lot of fantasies for men. The ones in which two fem women smeared lipstick all over each other.

But for me, it was those boy-looking les babes that rocked me.

They still do. Mmmm.

 

[Siren]

Yes my girlfriend was a boy/girl

 

[Rubyfruit]

Why thank you Siren. I guess I would have to cut off a whole lot of hair to qualify as the boyish les type.

It's good to see we have the same taste in women.

It doesn't blow anything for me...two lesbians doing the dance of carnal knowledge is fantastic unless they both are big gym teacher types, then it's still ok

guys are such pigs
