x365: 40 of 365: wanda m.

Good old grade nine. You thought I looked like Prince, circa Parade. The truth was, I looked just enough like Prince for you in a blond-haired town. It must have taken me a year to get your shirt off. Do you have any idea of how much effort a fourteen year old boy has to go through to make something like that happen? Do you think there are magical shirt-removal elves that come in and do the work? No ma'am. Seriously, what do U think?

I bet if I'd worn Prince's new perfume, that would have done the trick immediately. I understand that it contains fabric-dissolving chemicals, which would have done a number on your polo top. I had only will and patience on my side.

It's a known fact that girls whose name ends in "a" have large breasts.

I think the very existence of Prince got a lot of shirts off a lot of girls back in the day.

Just wanted to say: I'm so happy you are back! I hope you are healing well and feeling good.

witchypa - That was true enough in her case, but man, it took me a long time to find out.

ozma - Also quite true. Celebrities, as they say on the streets, supply the phantasmic supplement for the libido. That's why celebrities depend on us; it's our own libidinal energies that evoke their existence. So what I'm saying is that Prince owes me, because he didn't do a sufficient job with Wanda.

Don't be too quick to abandon the drugs.

Oooh! I have a whole 'nother theory about this. I shall explain. But I love yours.
