Double Standard, Double Entendre

Doubling of things has often been perceived of as a good thing, right? Double your pleasure, double your fun and all that. But what about the double standard? If men are given the open door, the blank check, to date and experience multiple people at once, what keeps a woman from doing the same, other than societal reasons? And when one finally chooses to do so, why does guilt become the first and foremost emotion she experiences, outside of elation and excitement? Hmmm….

And that brings me to double entendres. Can this be used to parallel the double standard? If yes, then the double standard should be debunked. Ah, so when will the guilt stop and the double fun begin? :)

What is it about Tony?

I’ve been trying to figure out what it is about Anthony Bourdain that I love so much. It’s can’t just be his less-holier-than-thou persona or his f*** you attitude…can it (by the way, is this a family site or can I just say it)?  Perhaps it’s the fact that he looks and acts how my Dad would on an acid trip (not unlikely) and smokes two packs a day just like him. But what makes this 50-year-old leathery man so sexy to this 23-year-old? It must be my wish to have the gritty eloquence that seems to seep out of his pores.

Plus, he gets to travel the world and eat it all.  Was it good for me?  Tony, it always is with you.
