About My Very First Thong

Do you remember your very first thong? I remember mine very clearly. I don't remember where I bought it from, but it was purple, and it was made of lace. I was about 18 0r 19, so my mom didn't know of the thong. I don't know what your mom was/is like, but my mom would have never approved of me owning a thong at that age. It was my one and only thong, so I loved it - as you can imagine. It was during this time that I learned - thanks to my friends - that I had a little booty behind me, so I was Read More

What I Wore To Girls’ Night Out

I recently went to girls' night out with Solachi, Funmie, Ibukun, and Tim, but that's not the girls' night out I'm talking about. I had another girls' night out with another group of girls. This one was with my work friends, Lisa, Tasha, Jemela, and Jennifer. Coincidentally, we had it at TGIF, too. No, I didn't pick the venue. As a matter of fact, it's mere coincidence that I have gone to TGIF twice in such short time. It happened on Saturday. We talked about how most of us are pretty much Read More
