Sweet for Me ...
A First Date Triptych: Part Two
Awake and finding you not next to me!
Moment to realise where I am and you're not there
Finding myself upset and confused
My soft-sighed morning groan catches your ear
Up early ... Didn't want to disturb dreaming
Gurgled siren moans bring you back to me
'I'm here sweet pea' your kind voice calms
Returning beside me, wrapping and holding tight
As you did last night after roses and talking
When I drifted to sleep in your arms, smiling
Wanting to start our day together ...
Yet never wanting to leave your embrace
...
Soon we're away!
Driving with you, as passenger with no control
I feel safe, never once reaching for imaginary brakes
My eyes don't see the road, they only see you
...
You take me shopping, tell me I look pretty
Are people looking? Don't care!
All I wanted was to hold your hand
But I feared making the first move of cheesy PDA
...
Seeing my childlike delight at something sweet
A simple cupcake decorated for fun
I giggled and you bought us both treats
I never knew I could smile this much
As our day was just starting, so much to come
But this moment, I will never forget
Eating a cupcake ... with you

Bangkok ladyboys
When you think of Bangkok, a few iconic images likely spring to mind: golden temples, bustling street markets, the smell of sizzling pad thai, and dazzling nightlife. And within that vibrant tapestry, the presence of ladyboys known in Thailand as kathoey is a visible and often misunderstood part of the cultural landscape.

But what exactly does "femgirl" mean, and why is this identity significant in contemporary conversations about gender? Let’s explore the nuances, origins, and cultural context of the femgirl identity.

'20/20'
"Do It Again" the track that would ultimately open the Beach Boys final album on Capitol Records which was released on February 10th 1969 had originally been released as a single in August of 1968. The track was the first of many post-Pet Sounds era throwbacks to the early Beach Boys sound which would become continually more cliched and eventually lead the Beach Boys to the level of self-parody they would eventually succumb to in the 1980s while their closest contemporaries The Beatles nearing the end of their run in 1969 would go on to be viewed as the most influential band of all time. However, the song itself is not bad on its surface, and it opens with a futuristic sounding (for 1969) drumbeat captured by then-Beach Boys engineer Stephen Desper using tape delays on the drums performed by Dennis Wilson and John Guerin. The song has been re-recorded numerous times over the years on various Beach Boys-related projects most notably the 2011 re-recording at Capitol studios featuring the five surviving Beach Boys at the time backed instrumentally by various members of both the Brian Wilson Band and Mike Loves touring "Beach Boys" to promote the then upcoming Beach Boys 50th Anniversary reunion tour in 2012. The hammering and power drill sound at the end of the song was an excerpt from a track called "Workshop" that was to be a part of the uncompleted "SMiLE" album.
