And then he meets your eye and the shiver runs down your back and becomes a sizzle in your stomach and you think 'I want to dance with that man.' You dance, you have a cocktail or two, you flirt.

I am not a label snob and have learned that the thrill of shopping can be just as great, if not more so, when you find a bargain.

The way I write is totally instinctive. I just write what I feel or what I find funny - and hope everyone else agrees.
