Alt text - quote from Resonance Surge - Wild Woman magazine excerpt: Dear Aunt Rita, I’ve read your previous advice on being wary of bears who come with delicious edible gifts, and I have to disagree. My sweet bear friend Sally-mae has been baking me fruit pies for the past six months, and she has no designs on my body or heart whatsoever. Why, the other week, she even offered to iron my shirt for my date with another woman. It wasn’t her fault the iron malfunctioned and she burned a hole in my shirt. ~Just a Friend. Dear Just a Friend, Oh, you sweet summer child. Do write to me once you two are mated so I can say “I told you so” while eating my favorite peach pie. ~Aunt Rita (Wild Woman: Skin Privileges, Style & Primal Sophistication)
Who would like to write to Aunt Rita for some advice??
