For Your Protection...

had a pretty relaxing weekend. last night i cooked up some homemade gnocchi for a few friends...drank some wine...had a nice time.

now i'm sitting around, watching re-runs of CSI...reading through my emails and getting ready to answer some, always interesting, questions...

Question:
Explain how to use a female condom, and give opinion on if they are better/worse to use than a male condom?
-anonymous

Answer:
hahaa! female condom? i have to say, i'm not that modern. i've seen one of those things once..and it nearly scared my hoo-hoo into hibernation...it's so...i don't know...big! weird! abnormal! it looks like a jellyfish! i wouldn't know how to use one if it slapped me in the...well...you get the point. i'm sorry that i can't be of further assistance on this one..but...i'm "old fashioned" in that arena. when it comes down to carnal knowledge....the only knowledge i have is of trojan man.

In Confidence

so i was having a conversation the other night with a considerably younger friend of mine...about confidence. we were discussing whether confidence is learned by experiences...or if it's just something inside of someone, and can be realized at any time.

it's an interesting question to ponder. and i have been thinking about it since our chat. my friend was saying that i have so much confidence because of my age...i've lived life, learned a lot, and grown into a self-assured woman.

of course, i do believe that experiences help to shape the person you are...and i do think that life helps you to realize your value. but in saying that..i also think that you can realize your value at any age. i know women (and men) at 30 years old who have more confidence than i could ever imagine having.

it's such an interesting topic..any opinions out there?

N-32 O-66

Question:
my girlfriends and i go out a couple times a week to well, meet men. there are a couple of night clubs we frequent but it gets expensive after a while. we're all widows on fixed incomes.
where can we go that wouldn't be as expensive or better yet free! please don't say church bingo!

-carla

Answer:
great question, carla. don't worry, i wouldn't be caught dead at church bingo. please. if i died, and someone brought me to church bingo...my body would spontaneously rise up, walk out, and die again on the sidewalk. believe me.

so...i'm going to give you a few secrets to living lethal...like i do. you know i'm on a fixed income as well. any money that i do make from working is spent on my lawyer, trying to settle this perpetual divorce case. (don't get me started on that one...) so...of course, my first tip is to let the guys you meet at these night clubs, bars, etc..buy you drinks. i mean, you can go all night never having to open your purse. are you actually talking to people when you and your friends go out? or are you sitting around waiting for someone to come to you. it's 2008 darlin'...sometimes you gotta make the first move.

now...have you heard of a little place called starbucks? i mean...coffee shops are the new bar. everyone goes there. sit in the high backed chair...and smile at that man across the table from you with his laptop. for $1.87 and very slow sipping, you can get at least an hour or more of relatively cheap attention.

of course...you can always take a lover...if you find the right kind (rich, handsome, horny, unattached)...BINGO.

Honesty Isn't Always the Best Policy...

so i'm standing with a coworker yesterday. she had obviously just gotten something done to her hair. it was a new look. and not a very good one. i hadn't mentioned the new "do"...and she hadn't asked. it was perfect.
so another person walks over. and starts commenting on her hair...how good it looks, how pretty, blah blah blah. and they have the nerve to pull me into the conversation. i was trying to slink away....trying to step backwards until i was out of the conversation. and he pulled me back into it. asking me straight out, didn't i think it looked great?

and i said nothing.

nothing

i didn't know what to do. i couldn't lie...i couldn't tell the truth. i just...well..froze. and stood there. and looked at her bad hair. and she looked at me, looking at her bad hair.

and it was awful.

so, here's the thing....is honesty the best policy? should i have lied? should i have told her that it looked great, she was hot, all that crap that people want to hear? probably. but i can't find it in myself to do that. i compliment when it's deserved...not just because someone changed something about their look, or bought a new shirt, or whatever. i'm not going to be that person who smiles and blindly gives out compliments. i just can't do it.

if you want a friend like that, don't come to me. if you want the truth. well...here i am.

Yawn.

did i mention that i don't yawn when other people yawn. "everyone" says that "everyone" catches yawns.

sitting across the table from someone yawning, you probably ended up yawning. talking on the phone to someone yawning, you probably end up yawning. i bet that reading this...me saying yawn over and and over again (yawn yawn yawn yawn)...you're probably going to end up yawning.

but i don't.

i don't yawn. i mean, i yawn, but only when i am tired. i don't catch yawns from other people.

so i looked into it. and i found out that "experiments suggest that contagious yawning is related to a person's self-awareness and ability to see things from another person's view"...basically people with empathy, catch yawns. and...did i mention that i don't... so does this mean that i don't have empathy? i mean...i'm sitting here (not yawning) trying to think back to a time when i felt empathetic for someone. some time when i felt someone else's pain, in my own heart and body and soul. a time when i put myself into someone else's shoes, realized what they were going through...

um. achem. yawn. oops. i think i got bored.

Nasty Girls Need Advice Too...


Question:
Please , LL, tell me EXACTLY how to give a man the best blow job he ever had.
-Zena


Answer:
well well. i've been waiting for a question of this type. i knew it would come. you all have been waaaay too nice up to this point. honestly, i don’t like to “blow and tell”…as it were….so you’re not getting any juicy gossip from me. sorry darling...try again...somewhere else.

Happy Easter!


spent my easter weekend cooking and eating. friday and saturday i pretty much spent getting ready for the big family easter that we always have. then we ate and ate and ate. and ate. easter's a great holiday. it makes me happy because spring is finally here...and it's just bright and cheery and so...pastel. plus the ham, lamb, pineapple stuffing, carrot cake...who could complain about that delicious food! oh, yeh, and i guess i should mention that my good catholic upbringing has ingrained the importance of the holiday into my brain, too!

so, i got a question from a girl named renea. and it's not very springy or easter bunny-ish...but it's a question that needs to be answered...so...here you go.

Question:
My father died recently, and while it was very sad, it was long-expected. I'd like nothing more than for my mother to go on with her life and find new love--she's still gorgeous and young, at 60--but I'm not sure how to bring it up in a way that doesn't sound trashy. Any thoughts?
-Renea

Answer:
well, renea, i'm very sorry for your loss. you're mom is going through a lot right now...before you push her into anything she's going to be uncomfortable about, make sure you talk to her. ask her how she's doing, if she needs to talk about your father...or about anything at all.

if you have a good relationship with you mother, you'll know if she's ready. and when she is...i think that you can easily bring this kind of thing up in conversation. tell her that you think she's beautiful, and young, and that she deserves to be happy. also, let her know that you are ok with her dating, if she wants to. one of her big hang-ups may be that she doesn't want to hurt you! offer to go out with her...it's going to be hard for her to get back into the dating scene...she may need your advice! the more supportive you are of her, the happier she'll be.

Hard...bodies, that is.

i've received a lot of questions asking how i keep in such good shape...just a few below...

Question:
Do you work out? What's your secret?
-Thom


Question:
I've never had to worry about my weight. I eat sensibly and stay fairly active, but I've noticed that it's becoming much harder to maintain my figure. What do you do to stay so trim?
-Brandy, Philadelphia


Question:
Have you ever tried strip-aerobics?
-"L"

Answer:
well...i'm not sure that any of you are going to like my answer on this one...mostly because my answer is...it's in the jeans...er, i mean genes. honestly, as you may have noticed, i live pretty much on a diet of martinis, wine and restaurant food. i've got my "special men" taking me out to dinner four/five nights out of the week (if only they'd start paying my bills...ugh!)...
i walk around the city a lot...though i'm not sure stiletto miles count as "exercise"...
i haven't tried strip aerobics...but i have been known to strip...if the moment is right. of course, i'd call what comes after the stripping the "exercise"...that's when we're working up a sweat.

Let's Get Serious


i went to pick up coffee this morning at my corner "WhoreBucks"...ordered my latte and glazed Doughnut and paid (with a gift card i found in my purse, no less)...so i probably waited a whole 3 minutes for my latte, and even less time for my doughnut. but when i went to pay the guy at the counter, he gave me a "free coffee" coupon...and said "hope your day gets better."

rewind.

i woke up this morning in a wonderful mood. despite the rain, i knew that today was going to end up being a beautiful spring-like day. when i did my hair today, it came out perfectly. i mean it. like...movie star perfect...like...hair-show perfect. not a straggler or a split end. i got dressed feeling good...feeling flawless...and headed to get breakfast.

fast forward.

"hope your day gets better." what??? my day is fine!! honestly!! ok, i didnt say that. i just smiled and put the free coffee coupon in my purse. but i lingered. i stood at condiments counter (do you call them condiments in a coffee shop?) even though i certainly didn't need to add milk to the latte (definition: a drink made by adding a shot of espresso to a glass or cup of frothy hot or steamed milk)...but i wanted to see if this coupon was given out to anyone else.

i stood...sad to say...for a good 5-6 customers. no free coffees. not one. just me.

so...the questions lie with me. what makes me different? was the barista flirting with me? he was young...fairly attractive...not quite out of my league...(meaning, he wasn't under 20)... did i really look like i was having a bad day? i mean...how could i. i look perfect! (did i mention that?).

not that i begrudge the free coffee. please, i'll probably use the coupon this afternoon....but i want to know. why?

any thoughts?

Do I Have to Keep Counting?

so. i'm making a commitment. i'm going to try to blog every day. i know that a lot of you (quiet as you are on the blog) have been asking me why i'm not updating more often. i'm sorry...dear reader...i will try to do so.

i received a question this morning, which i think is just great...so i'm going to share.



Question:
So you are really lethal? To all men or just some?
- Joe

Answer:
of course i'm Lethal...have you not seen my pictures, my previous posts, my everything? well, you haven't seen my everything...but...close enough. anyway...i am lethal. but not in the way that i'm leaving a string of men in my wake. i was always the "good girl"...married....simple...i did what was expected. but when i was heartbroken, and left pretty much penniless by that no good...well...anyway...left to fend for myself...i've adapted, i've become more independent. i've become a confident woman who can take care of herself...someone who finally figured out that i'm good enough to just be who i am....and that's what makes me lethal. if you have a problem with it. well...you know what to do. must i remind you?

Question 5..and Update

so...updates first! i'm tired today. i watched about 7 CSI: Crime Scene Investigation shows in a row yesterday, didn't do much else...and then got caught up in the HBO Miniseries John Adams. seriously....i sat around my house all day long, and i'm still tired. ugh. it's been a long two weeks!

i was in miami for a few days. it was beautiful weather. 70's and sunny every day. i got a bit of a tan...just enough to make everyone back here i philly jealous (as if they weren't already?)...

i'm actually glad to be home. of course...i came home to a big pile of bills, and a flooded basement. but why complain, no one listens to that anyway....

well, that's about it. i'm sitting here again tonight...drinking a cup of hot tea...typing away....watching dirty dancing on showtime or something...i think i'm kind of just glad to be home. i don't really want to do anything but sit in my house.

maybe tomorrow i'll hit the town again. probably.

ok. definitely....you all know me too well.

Question:
Have you ever had any plastic surgery? I'm thinking about getting a face lift, but am scared. My friends suggest botox, but I think I'm too far gone. If I'm going to do it, I have to go all the way. Anyway, you look great, so, have you gotten any work done?
-Wrinkle Puss

Answer:
dear wrinkle puss, i have to say, i haven't gotten any work done...fortunately for me, i've been blessed with incredible genes. but i'm all for it. if you need a little help, then why not get it? if your friends recommend botox, maybe you should consider it. if you have good friends, they won't lie to you, right? so trust them...ask them...do you really need to go in whole hog, or can you afford to just get the needle? either way, if it's going to make you feel better, younger, prettier, sexier, whatever...then go for it. because confidence is the most important part of being lethal!

Question 4...I'm a media whore.


Question:
Are you excited about the Oscars? Have you seen any good movies lately? What movies do you like?

-Julie from Houston


Answer:
I love the Oscars! Are you kidding me? The clothes, the jewelery, the stars! I'm all over it! I'm hoping that Javier Bardem wins. That No Country For Old Men was so creepy, but I loved it. I wish that Josh Brolin was up for something..he's a delicious piece of man. I liked Gone Baby Gone...even though Ben Affleck directed it. And Juno was cute, but I think that it was a little self-important.

In general, I like mysteries. I love movies about murders and crimes, I love tv shows about that too. Those CSI marathons are my favorite days. Anyway...I also love sappy girly movies, of course...but I usually rent those. In the theater, I like a good thriller. LA Confidential is one of my favorite films of all time.

I'm sure I'll be writing a full report after the show this Sunday...don't you worry!

Update: Oh no. I just realized that I rhymed in my "Title"...that's just bad....

We're All Lost

I keep wanting to quit watching the show. Last season, I told myself I wasn't watching it anymore...but week after week...ugh...there I was in front of the TV again. And then they got me. That final episode. They sucked me back in. They brought it into the future...and they're back home!!

So I sat down last Thursday, along with everyone else in America (or at least 3/4 of America)...and watched. And now. I'm waiting again. Sitting in front of the TV, flipping through bullshit, waiting until 9pm to find out what happens.

What annoys me is that I don't really want to watch. Not really. I want to go out for drinks...or go to sleep early...or read a book...or have sex. Instead, I feel like I'm so invested in these people's lives...the sad sorry prisoners on a crazy island...and I have to know what happens. That's how this show is so successful. We're all trapped on an island as well. The island of the unknown. The island of "What-the-hell-is-going-on-and-how's-it-going-to-end". The island of FRUSTRATION!

I hate them for being so clever. I hate myself for watching it. I only have to wait until 2010. Then I'll be free.

Question 3....Divorcee.

Question:
i'm a 63 year old woman and i recently divorced my husband. i'm fairly attractive and in pretty good shape but i'm really nervous about going out and meeting men. all of my friends are married still. the last time i dated i was 22 years old. things are so different now. any suggestions on where to go to meet single men my age?
will i be expected to have sex on the first date?!

-miss "used-to-be-mrs."


Answer:
Oh…tell me about it sister. I was in your shoes just a short while ago. It's tough getting back out there and "dating"…especially when you have married friends.
My advice to you is to drag your girlfriends out to the bars with you…even if they are married. The more you're out and about, the more you'll be noticed….and approached! Go to the places you frequented when you were still tied. Chances are, you'll meet a more mature crowd at the bar in those places than trying to hit the latest "hot-spot" in your town. (Unless you're looking for a younger fling…then for god's sake…hit the clubs!)
Bottom line is, for all of us single "lethal" women…the only way of getting a date is to put ourselves out there. You've got to be seen, in order to be seen naked!

Which leads me to…sex on the first date…well…that's up to you, darlin'. There's nothing like the feel of a new man, I'll tell you that. I'm sure you've forgotten what it's like to be actually excited by someone new you're in bed with! If you want to get a taste for what the world is like 41 years after your last real date…then I say, GO FOR IT!

Question 2...

Thanks again, everyone...for sending questions. I'm excited to "mentor" everyone on how to live lethal!

Question:
What advice would you give a young man, say in his mid 30's, who's interested in approaching an older cougar like yourself?
-Victor Von Hayes

Answer:
Thanks for the compliment Victor, if that's your real name.... You are in your mid 30's, huh? I think you can keep up with a woman like me.

My first piece of advice is for you to be honest. As I've mentioned in the past…I know a thing or two about men. I know when one is lying to me…and that's a MAJOR turn-off.

Second, be polite and respectful…but show me you're a man who knows what he wants. What I mean is, don't come up and grab my ass (not yet anyway)…but find a way to let me know what you're interested in. More than likely, an older woman will be flattered by your admiration, but she may take it as more of a passing fancy. Don't be shy with your intentions. She may be willing to take you on the ride of your life.

Question 1...and an update

Hello all. I'm back!

I was in Los Angeles for a week with some friends. We met Jillian Barbarie...who is SO cute! She was just adorable, and she looks incredible for having a baby only 6 months ago! She doesn't look a bit different than she did before. I dont know if you guys know who she is, but she's does the weather for Fox NFL Football.


So, I'm finally back home, and rested from the horrordays...um...i mean holidays. It's good to have some down time for the next few months. I need to get back into my blogging. I miss you guys!!!

So I know i mentioned before I left that I was going to be trying something new. A little Q&A type thing. And guess what...I've already gotten about 12 questions from my loyal fans out there! Thanks everyone...

Anyway, I'm going to start out with the first question I recieved...from a women in Chicago. She requested I only call her "Alice"...but here is her question, and my answer. Keep sending yours in...I'll be posting as much as possible with my wise and lethal answers!



QUESTION:
recently i met a man that's much younger than me.
i'm 55 and he's 32. we have a great time together and the best sex of my life. he seems to really be into me. i'm worried though about what will happen in the future. he'll probably want to have kids eventually. i've already had mine. do you think it's better that i break it off now before we go any further in our relationship? i'm having such a great time.
---alice



ANSWER:
Look. If you can emotionally deal with the fact that sometime down the line he may end up leaving you for the monotony of a married life with two kids, a picket fence and a dog…then keep doing what you are doing! If you're having a great time, and he is too, there's really no reason to break it off. Hell, you don't know he wants kids. He may be happy in the situation he's in, just like you are.

There's no edict out there that says you can't have fun…in fact, there's a "lethal" edict that I'm setting for that mandates you have fun…so have it!
--Lethal Lady





Well, signing off for today...I'll be back. Talk to you tonight on my Live Chat -- open for business once again!

Can Paris Can Can?


So lucky for me, I got invited to the special unveiling of Paris Hilton's perfume, Can Can, at Macy's here in Philly. I actually got to meet her before she want on...being that I have a special "in" at the perfume counter at Macy's. I expected here to be snobby...honestly...she doesn't seem like the kind of person that I'd want to actually sit down and talk with. But once I met her, I was really pleasantly surprised. She was witty, cute and really very sweet.

There were so many people outside waiting to see her. Hundreds upon hundreds. There was a nun there?! Who knew?

Regardless...I had a great time, and the perfume isn't half bad! I got only one shot with my camera (I always forget it's in my purse)...but you can see a million others out there on the web. So...whatever.
