Wow!  You should do his biography.

Oh, I found it long ago.  Very scary.  That's why I'm looking for a mentor...

I know this is a serious answer to a quote meant in jest, but I am just not feeling very cute or ironic right now. Maybe more caffeine will fix that.

And I responded to your serious reply with yet more jest, so you're probably thinking "that's the last time I ever reply to that bastard!"  Just kidding. 

I appreciate your thoughtful comments about the DBN mystique.  Actually, I've been aquainted with Don's inquisitive and unique intellect on the internet forums for years before MM even existed and hope to meet him if he ever manages to get down here on one of his travels, so I tend to poke at him more than I would someone else.

Every now and then I get shivers up my spine when I think of what kind of impression my somewhat carefree sense of humor makes on people.    But not enough to change my ways.

This thread has gone seriously wrong.  People are going to start thinking that I don't have a libido.  Thanks for that.

Dave, there's a problem at the arsenal that may bring me to town pretty soon.  If so, coffee or dinner or something?

Absolutely.  Just let me know when and we'll pick a place to go.

Where can I hire a good breast stylist?

Careful you might give Benny ideas and he will have a fifth portfolio.

Oh yes, bring it the f*ck on. I will happily have any trained masseuse cover me in any oil of their choice (many use olive or vegetable oil) for at least an hour. Of course, that may leave pink marks on my skin, so then I will have to sit around and sip Chianti and get touch ups.
Neck is better. Not perfect.

I'm not trained but I give one hell of a massage.

You are also not a GIRL...masseuse not masseur. And you are a photographer, sorry.

I'm exempt because I have no libido.

Tanning oil is better for that if you're on the beach since it includes SPF.

You're right.

No prob.  I'll be happy to smear the model with the goop of her choice.  OK, she can do the naughty bits.

Actually, I have changed my mind on that. You are not allowed to touch me either...I think that you have been hiding your massive libido from me. But that doesn't surprise me. I am known for my funny funny interpretation of people.

In the last month alone i have:
1. told Melvin Moten he was the sanest artist I knew
2. told a lifestyle domina that she was one of the few people I WASN'T afraid of
3. told d. brian nelson he does not think about sex.

Hmmmm. maybe I should go check out my own wiring. Or maybe I have a talent for finding the best way to fuck with peoples minds. Including my own apparently. Hmmmmm. Maybe I am too sober.

i prefer crisco.  aborbs more evenly and doesnt pool up looking "greasy" on the model...  produces an awesome "lustre" sheen on black and asian models...

its vegetable based as well.

And you can fry up some corn fritters with what's left.
