IN WHICH I REFLECT ON THE POWER OF LIPSTICK ON HIS COLLAR.
Few prerogatives are more feminine than enhancing our facial features with makeup: it is an essential part of our mystique. In that sense, makeup addresses all three components: Glamour, Attractiveness and Sexiness, in the GAS that powers a smokin’ hot presentation. READ MORE
IN WHICH I CONSIDER THE SEMINAL IMPORTANCE OF THE LARGEST ORGAN. (The saga of Atticus continues with the next post.)
The fuel that powers our Life à la Hot is GAS — Glamour, Attractiveness and Sexiness. But the “S” could easily stand for “Skin.” That’s because, when polled about the most important factors influencing attraction, the number one deal breaker for both sexes is bad skin. Some of these conditions can only be addressed professionally by a dermatologist with a laser, but the majority of us require only disciplined skin care regimen, including cleansing, exfoliation and moisturizing.
IN WHICH I ENDURE A KIND OF VISUAL TERRORISM: HOW CAN I UNSEE THAT?
The ubiquity on today’s dating scene of the texted dick pic — so frequent as to become virtually banal these days — makes one long for the thrilling mystery of an atmosphere now living only in the imagination of Mad Men writers.
IN WHICH I CONSIDER THE UNWELCOME DELIVERY OF A PACKAGE.
Sequence of Events:
1. Attractive man messages me in online dating site.
2. Attractive man and I chat amicably on dating site.
3. Attractive man and I move to exchanging cell numbers in order to text.
4. Attractive man, with connection made and a face-to-face date imminent, suddenly sends me a dick pic.
5. Unattractive man is summarily blocked by me, with or without a side dish of “Really?” or “Gross!” READ MORE
IN WHICH I CONSIDER: CLEANLINESS IS NEXT TO GODDESSLINESS.
A foundational component of the GAS — Glamour, Attractiveness and Sexiness — that fuels our pursuit of Life à la Hot is simply the hygiene most of us practice, stepped up a tad. Beyond the basic need to eliminate dirt, oil, germs and the smell that accompanies them, here’s another opportunity to enhance our intrinsic feminine charm.
IN WHICH I CONSIDER HOW WRINKLES ARE BEST LEFT ON THE SHEETS.
Part of the attractiveness component of the GAS — Glamour, Attractiveness, and Sexiness — that powers our pursuit of Life à la Hot, lies in the realm of cosmetic surgery and cosmetic skin treatments such as Botox and fillers. (I cover my own experience with these in my series of posts Surgical Strike, MISSION: GORGEOUS.) Because most of us simply don’t feel as old as we look!
IN WHICH THIS ANGRY BIRD REFUSES TO BE KANDY KRUSHED.
This Fourth of July, as ever, we celebrate our independence from Britain.
However, every day is Independence Day for me. That’s because I live free from dependency on the opinions of others, the social strictures of society which don’t resonate with me, “rules” — spoken or un — which besides making no sense to me, represent nothing more than a straitjacket to who I am.

IN WHICH I’M REMINDED, REGRETFULLY, I CAN’T UNSEE THAT.
How ugly can it get when it comes to online dating? Well, physically there’s truly no limit; but ugliness comes in other forms, too, and blatant crudeness often makes an unwelcome appearance.

IN WHICH THE LOSERS TEACH ME A THING OR TWO ABOUT WASTE REMOVAL.
As I navigated the shoals of online dating, there was certainly many a wreck which amounted to nothing more than a blatant waste of energy; over time there was such a pattern of behavior, I became aware of these as types, then cut them off at their pathetic pass.

IN WHICH I CONSIDER INSTALLING A RED VELVET ROPE AROUND MY LADY BUSINESS.
In terms of sheer choice, online dating was going well for me. Messages kept flooding in, and the guys who’d rated me five stars had topped several thousand for awhile now.
THE BOOK OF HOT: A MANIFESTO is here to rethink, revitalize and revolutionize feminine romance and sexuality.
I'm a gorgeous goddess of a certain age who transformed from shot to hot, a feminist playa refusing to go into the sunset without a Mojito in one hand and a hunka hunka burnin' love in the other! Because sixty IS the new forty or even thirty I will not be dying with my boots on, but with my Jimmy Choo stilettos, thank you very much. I, a sexually liberated woman, stand defiantly against ageism and sexism, adamantly asserting not only is it possible to maintain and even enhance our sexual allure as we ripen, we women have the same right as men to vibrant vitality and romance at any age.
