Shall We Dance?

Ed & I love cruises. They have become our favorite way to travel because of the superb entertainment, the hotel that travels with you and the opportunities to meet new and interesting people. A few years ago we took a cruise from Rio to Buenos Aires. On our last day in Buenos Aires we went … More Shall We Dance?

Beef Sandwich

One day at my retail gig I was providing over the top customer service to a gay couple who were in to buy some new shoes. We were having a good time discussing common acquaintances and businesses. An associate came by (let’s call him Larry) to give me some information and moved on. Larry is … More Beef Sandwich

Eye of the Beholder

My husband and I recently had a new experience that had been recommended to us by friends for decades. We had our first pedicure. For years friends had suggested we try it because they told us it was relaxing and a pampering experience. The fact that I have always had one of the ugliest pairs … More Eye of the Beholder

Urinal Etiquette

Some time ago, I had to use a public urinal.  Before going further, it is important that I explain a little about urinal etiquette.  Most men will recognize these rules but women may not be aware of these gender specific guidelines.  When a man is standing at a public urinal, especially when the location has … More Urinal Etiquette

OMG, Let me in!!

I worked on my own at the retail gig yesterday.  Toward the end of my day while waiting for my replacement, I got a call to action by my bladder (a call which should be understood by anyone reading this).  However, I continued to get customers and, as a result, kept putting off the call.  … More OMG, Let me in!!

Keep Em’ Moving

This evening while working at my retail gig, it was busy but nothing that couldn’t be handled easily.  That is until the gentleman I work with went to lunch.  About five minutes later all hell broke loose.  It was as if a city bus stopped right outside our department.  First, multiple guys all wanted shoes … More Keep Em’ Moving

A Happy Customer

This week at my retail gig I had a young man come up to my counter asking if I could ring up his purchases even though he didn’t have shoes. I explained that, because of my advanced age, there is very little I couldn’t do. I rang up his purchases which included some socks, a … More A Happy Customer

Esteban

A couple of years ago I did extensive research on how to conceal hair loss for my very good friend Esteban. When I met Esteban he worked at my retail gig and was in his mid-thirties. I had gotten to know him quite well because he used to frequently abandon his post to shop in … More Esteban

Suede Shoes

There is a buddy at work that I generally advise when we have clearance shoes I think might be of interest to him.  For the purpose of anonymity, I’ll simply call him the “Gay Giant”.  We both think of ourselves as snappy dressers: however, our individual styles are very, very different.  We also have more … More Suede Shoes
