The importance of being pom-pom

Many of you have been waiting with baited breath to find out what name Mr. Waste’s flag football team picked for their spring season. The Flaming Icicles. They did not go with any of my oh-so-clever suggestions. Their inspiration came from a pair of blue knee-high socks with orange flames.

Dear Cycle Sluts,
I’m dating this guy, and every time he’s about to climax he shouts out “Pop goes the weasel!” At first I thought it was cute but now it’s really annoying! I like him but I can’t take it anymore. What should I do?

Triple nipples, to the wind!

If you are or have been in any kind of relationship, you know there are certain lines that just should not be crossed. For Mr. Waste, it’s my love of two wheels.

Mudbugs and pig candy: Nuclia tours the Sultry South

Last month I rode the Delta Airlines sleigh to the buckle of the Bible belt – Jackson, Mississippi. I marched down the streets of Fondren in the Sweet Potato Queens’ Zippity Do Dah Parade. My friend and author, Jill Conner Browne, unveiled her new book, ‘Fat Is the New 30: The Sweet Potato Queens’ Guide to Coping with (the crappy parts of) Life.’

Cycle Sluts: ‘if you’ve got it, FLAUNT it!’

I like free-balling; I’m hung and I like to show it. My boyfriend doesn’t like that I go commando and is threatening to leave me if I don’t stop. But I really love teasing all the guys! What should I do?
