In an alarming example of short sightedness, I emailed the bressler.org link to my mother. After years of having my parents make fun of me for falling on my face all the time, I knew they would enjoy reading the lead-footed gazelle article. I was right, she loved it – then she read the rest of my stuff.
<p>Then she showed my father all of my articles, beginning with International Love.<p>Now my father knows that I made out with an older man in Morocco.<p>I can just imagine the conversation when they read Beer Goggles. "What are beer goggles – what does that mean?"<p>I am suddenly self-conscious about writing here. I had this great idea for an article about my escapades in West Hollywood, but I can't stand the idea of my father hearing about me dressed up in a feather boa I bought at Hustler in Hollywood and a tight red t shirt that says I love boys across the front in rhinestones while I party until dawn with a group of hot gay male models (Armani models I might add).<p>To top it all off, my mom sent the link to all her friends. The response was great. They all can't wait for more. "We're bookmarking this!" "What's she writing about next?" While I'm sure that this has been great for the bressler.org stats, I suddenly have writer's block. All creativity has fled as I picture my mom and her sorority sisters from all over the country waiting for my next article.<p>So here's a disclaimer for my mom:<p>Mom – I love you – you're the best (and your friends are cool too), but please read this at your own discretion, and please use even more discretion when you show this stuff to daddy. He doesn't need to know about some of this stuff and I don't want to have to censure myself.<p>And – let's make a deal – if you have a question or comment about something I post – don't call me about it – hit reply and post it - and get your friends to reply as well – they would be most welcome here on bressler.org.<p>JBMoney may even give me an extra star next to my name!
