covered in a cobweb of silvery hair
― La Lechera, Wednesday, 4 January 2012 21:11 (fourteen years ago)
I would not be flattered if someone compared my hair to cobwebs.

no no these are SEXY cobwebs

they heave and beckon
and slowly turn in circles
"The tensile strength of [cobwebs are] greater than the same weight of steel and [they have] much greater elasticity."
― mookieproof, Wednesday, 4 January 2012 22:14 (fourteen years ago)
also they are sexier
if nothing else, one must constantly wonder what Kent and Shelton were thinking when they composed these "tag" phrases
i wonder if that google books corpus could tell us if any of these more bizarre phrases have actually been used in romance novels?
― La Lechera, Wednesday, 4 January 2012 22:23 (fourteen years ago)
Is there anything in the book like "His eyes crawled across the front of her blouse"? Because that's a good one, with the crawling eyes. Happens right before she starts spinning in circles.
― They're coming to get you, (Jenny), Wednesday, 4 January 2012 22:34 (fourteen years ago)
there are a *lot* of romance novels
i feel confident xp
― mookieproof, Wednesday, 4 January 2012 22:35 (fourteen years ago)
the steamy stuff is on its way, jenny, you gotta be patient.
― La Lechera, Wednesday, 4 January 2012 22:37 (fourteen years ago)
Haha - crawling eyes as "steamy." Kind of makes you wonder whether romance authors have ever actually had sex.
― They're coming to get you, (Jenny), Wednesday, 4 January 2012 22:40 (fourteen years ago)
iirc they don't have sex, they have sensual awakenings
― The Silent Extreme (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 4 January 2012 22:42 (fourteen years ago)
i will retype the headings for the chapters about sex:
desire, attractiontouchingembracingkisseslovemaking
THAT'S IT

This reminds me of a bar conversation I had w Nabisco once about how the perfect city girlfriend eats almost nothing, consumes no resources that you'll have to pay for, and takes up so little space that you can fold her up and store her in a closet--just right for your cramped apartment, much like a piece of low-budget exercise equipment.

so, olsens?
― La Lechera, Thursday, 5 January 2012 18:20 (fourteen years ago)
i want to post the next one because i feel like ch. 3 was a little uninspired but i don't want to flood the thread
― La Lechera, Thursday, 5 January 2012 18:33 (fourteen years ago)
^^ I must have terrible taste, bcz I did not feel that way at all about ch. 3.
― Aimless, Thursday, 5 January 2012 18:36 (fourteen years ago)
I don't know, the Olsens consumed a lot of expensive drugs if the stories and pictures are to be believed.
― It means why you gotta be a montague? (Laurel), Thursday, 5 January 2012 18:36 (fourteen years ago)
