An Analysis of the Staffing, Organizational Placement, and General Administration of the Title I Migrant Education Program of the U.S. Office of Education.
National Council of La Raza, Washington, DC.
The operation and administration of the Title I Migrant Education Program was reviewed utilizing previous private and public audits, studies, evaluations and/or reports, and interviews with federal officials in the Office of Education (OE) and other individuals knowledgeable about the program. Focus of the review was on two factors that effect the program's administration: staffing and the organizational placement of the Migrant Branch (MB) within OE. Staffing was examined in terms of the number of staff in the Branch, their responsibilities, and whether the functions were being performed in an effective and efficient manner. Organizational placement of the MB within OE was assessed to determine its effect on the program's implementation. Among the review's findings were that: the number of staff in the MB was inadequate compared to the program's fiscal and administrative responsibilities; OE had failed to provide necessary resources to the Migrant Program; local project summaries were not being reviewed and analyzed on a regular and systematic basis, thus wasting much programmatic knowledge; the MB had given priority for program reviews to those states with the largest programs, while "efforts" were made to review the remaining states on a biennial basis; the MB lacked a clear delineation of authority upon which to execute programmatic decisions in an expeditious and authoritative manner.

Well folks, after being publically and sarcastically castigated on Facebook about how disappointingly short my last blog post was, I'll attempt to redeem myself by being slightly more detailed this time. This past week, BYU Universe had a "contest" of sorts asking people to send in pictures of a their days for a spread about the daily life of BYU students. We received emails about it and everyone was pretty excited to do it, but due to the fact that I had no internet to be able to send in a picture, as well as that I forgot my camera battery in my suitcase which is currently a resident in the peaceful dark silence of the bottom of the bus [can I trade places?], participation on my part didn't end up happening. But it's okay, because I'll do my own personalized "day in the life" spread here (4 days squeezed into 1, actually) and then feel good about myself when my mom comments on it about how I'm her favorite daughter [cough cough].
06:00 Early morning rain and cold cereal: Alcalá de Henares
It has been unseasonably rainy here for the past few weeks, and all the Spanish mothers are up in arms. They are confined to their houses, convinced all of us are committing suicide because we get our heads wet, and their laundry schedule is drastically hindered. I swear a pair of my pants has been hanging outside…in the rain… to dry for at least two weeks. I don't think they're getting back to me anytime soon. On the bright side though, I love the rain. It's a little bit dreary every once in a while, but it also makes the dirty streets and run-down apartment buildings of Alcalá feel so much more European for some reason. We woke up early to head down to South Wednesday morning, grateful not to have to go to class, and headed out on our way.
07:45 Mastering the art of averting company
Every weekend, as I'm sure you well know by now, all 18 of us girls crowd into a large bus to go on our next adventure. Some buses are luxurious, some have tables that everyone competes for, some smell like port-o-potties, and some are just too dang small. Call us slightly spoiled [no denial here] but no one really likes to have to share seats for such long rides, and every time you get on the bus, you just hope and pray that you're not one of the unlucky girls who has to ask to share a seat with someone else because all the rows are already occupied by single inhabitants. Apparently I am either untouchable or I have developed certain methods of discouraging people from sitting with me, because I always end up with a seat to myself. It's great because I can have the occasional visitor who wants their hair braided or wants to study or simply chat, as well as spread out and take a semi-comfortable and spacious nap.
09:00 Rest stops: no truckers here
The rest stops here in Spain are extremely luxurious. They all have good food and clean bathrooms and never have creepy white trash walking around looking like they just took a dip in an infected cesspool. Most of them have internet too! I always love walking through them and seeing all the different types of foreign snacks and candies and specialties from the current areas we are in.
09:15 Manchego and wine: On The Road
This weekend we drove through an area called "la mancha", known for its windmills, wine production, and manchego cheese. I sat in the very front of the bus for a fair amount of the drive right next to the bus driver because I was feeling carsick, and I had a pretty good history lesson from him. This was the area where Christopher Colombus rode his "burrito" through in order to speak with Queen Isabella, who was currently dealing with the "Muslim problem", in order to receive funds to explore the New World. Antonio, the bus driver, also informed me that the people down south are friendlier, more open, and happier. If he could live anywhere, he would live here, but his family is in Madrid so that's where he stays. He also emailed me a bunch of writings by Jose Luis Borges that he just happened to have on his phone when I told him that I was really interested in philosophy and the human thought process. They are actually incredibly interesting, but deciphering is slow because this Spaniard was extremely eloquent and liked to use archaic words that even confound the dictionary sometimes. Thus proceeded our long journey proceeded to Córdoba, the Muslim capital of Spain for over 900 years, the place where Orlando Bloom filmed the movie Kingdom of Heaven. Yeah, bad contrast of detail, I know.
11:00 A man caught in a Woman's World: Córdoba
For the second time ever, we had a male tour guide take us around Córdoba, which was a definite change of scenery. He reminded me of a Spanish version of Bill Cosby and Mr. Rogers for some reason, and was a cheery man indeed. Rather than being suffocated by the barbaric and illiterate Dark Ages, Córdoba was known for being a sort of "haven" for enlightened thought, religious tolerance, arts and sciences, and a dedication to philosophy. We only spent a few hours in Córdoba, visiting the famed mosque-turned-cathedral Mezquita, which truly was stunning. It was really one of the first legitimate Arabic mosques that we had seen, and I felt like I was in a forest of stone pillars and brick arches. It's pretty cool actually, mosques are constructed very differently than cathedrals, in attempts to allow the person praying to get "lost" amongst the pillars, as if they were in a grove, while cathedrals place more emphasis on the priest and the sermon.
Although the mosque was built in the 10th century, the Catholics came in during the 16th and destroyed a large part of it, putting a small cathedral smack in the center in order to Christianize it. Impressively, when the King found out about the destruction of part of the mosque, he was infuriated because he said they had destroyed something unique and beautiful for something so simple, and it could never replaced. That's a pretty big deal for a Catholic to say, especially during a time when the Arabs weren't exactly loved in Spain. We also walked through the Jewish Quarter, which was filled with tiny narrow streets, white buildings with blue trim, and so many beautiful flowers! Everything was incredibly colorful and picturesque, even with the constant drizzling rain.
2:00 Lost in the "kissing lanes": Sevilla
Every Spanish town seems to have a Jewish Quarter of some sort, and recently I learned that often the infamously narrow streets are called "kissing lanes", because the buildings and walls are so close together that as you pass people going the opposite way, you have to squeeze past them and invade their personal space. Luckily for the Spaniards though, the personal bubble is permeable and almost nonexistent. The hardest part about these streets is maneuvering them in umbrellas, which is quite the art. When you pass, men usually lift their umbrellas up for women to walk with their own underneath, which is a little piece of etiquette that I had never known before. Once again, it rained the entire time while in Sevilla, but it didn't put much of a damper on anything. I went to scout out a good flamenco show with two other girls and Malcolm (he's on the BYU Study Abroad board…very nice, but I can't quite figure him out. I think he's sort of stuck in an age-identity-crisis and reminds me a lot of that awkward-kid-in-your-chemistry-class. While he's very interesting to talk to, unfortunately he lacked necessary directional abilities, so we were lost in the narrow maze of streets with saturated boots for a pretty good amount of time. I loved it though. The whole city is enchanting.
13:45 Stamping feet and clapping hands: Sevilla
There is literally no better way to describe Flamenco. Perhaps picturing a scary angry Spanish housewife snapping at her misbehaving children while her husband is sitting on a chair wailing drunkenly might suffice too, but I'm sure you have the general idea. I am overjoyed that I can say I got to watch a traditional flamenco performance in a vine-covered musulman plaza in Sevilla, although I will not claim to be an enthused fanatic of the art – at least the clapping and stomping and singing part. I cannot get enough of Spanish guitar though. It makes me want to go back to the Parc Guell in Barcelona.The dancing is incredibly impressive; I cannot even begin to imagine how many years of practice and control it must take to be able to move so fiercely, sharply, yet gracefully all at the same time.
Feet flying and faces stricken with intense emotion, framing both masculinity and femininity in striking movements, it was stunning. Several of the girls were drooling over the sweaty, long-haired flamenco dancer the whole time (50 Shades of Flamenco, anyone?) but I'll have you know, he was definitely not my type. I was amazed both at how much noise three people could make, as well as how well they kept beet with such rapid clapping. However, I was less enthused by the locals who took the party outside and sang and danced outside my window all night long and didn't cease until 6am when I had to wake up.
14:00-Eternity: The longest tour in the history of humanity: Sevilla
Over seven years ago, I walked through the same plaza, through the same towering cathedral doors of the largest Gothic church in the world, with my family. This cathedral is actually the third-largest church in Europe, after St. Peter's at the Vatican and St. Paul's in London, but in all honesty, it looks quite similar to every other cathedral that I've ever been in. It holds the tomb of Columbus (which, apparently, only carries a little part of his body because rumor has it that he's actually spread across Europe in different cathedrals. Sick.
I was able to climb the Giralda Tower once again to see a beautiful, although extremely misty, view of Sevilla for the second time in my entire life. The tower, in all its glory of 35 stories, was climbed 5 times a day by the poor guy who had to do the call to prayer. Luckily for him though, he got to ride a horse up there because it was built with ramps rather than stairs. Want to see some nice calves? Check out ours now that they've grown two sizes after climbing that dang tower. Afterward, our mercilessly long tour took us through the Alcázar, which was built by the Muslims but still functions as the oldest royal palace in Europe. With peacocks and koi fish everywhere I turned and the amazing smell of oranges coming from all of the trees, I was pretty much in heaven. Except… it felt like I was in a shower, because the downpour was relentless.
16:00 Stuck in the 70's: Sevilla
Not that this is really important, but I just thought I'd mention that our hotel in Sevilla was legitimately trapped in the tacky 70's era, featuring that weird rusty orange paint paired with dark wood, funky light fixtures, and even weird flower-patterned bed sheets. To complete the feel, Sarah and I went to an even tackier Chinese restaurant for dinner, which played awkward Chinese love ballads the entire time. The food was fantastic, the ambience, however, was slightly disturbing.
16:30 Visiting Naboo: Sevilla
One of my favorite places in Sevilla is probably the Plaza de España. Aside from being gorgeous, with boats and colored tiles and a gigantic fountain, this was where Anakin, Padme, and R2-D2 arrive in Naboo to pay a visit in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones. I didn't recognize it until I went back home and looked up the scene on YouTube (part 8, if anyone was wondering), which made me realize I should probably go back and watch everything again. There were also several horse-drawn carriages lined up waiting to take people around the beautiful plaza, and it made me and the other girls think about how we all want our lovers to take us on dates to ride in carriages to see the lights at the Salt Lake Temple, go get hot chocolate, and then watch a movie on a cold snowy night. Sounds great, right?
18:00 Breaking the curse: Granada
When I visited Granada last time with my family, we made the fatal mistake of attempting to buy tickets to go and tour the Alhambra later in the day, only to find out that they had been sold out. Slightly defeated, we still got to see it from the outside. This time around however, I was able to go in, and I really, truly wish my family had been here with me to see it. The architecture was stunning and every room and garden blew me away. I wished so badly that I could have seen it with all of the tapestries, rugs, incense, pillows, and people actually living in it. Some history: The Alhambra is a Moorish palace and the last standing Moorish stronghold in Europe. It is covered in magnificently crafted stucco, rich colors, tiles, lavish gardens, and filled, let me repeat, absolutely filled with decorations that all utilize water. There are pools, waterfalls, streams, doors, EVERYTHING, wherever you turn. As an old Spanish saying goes, "Give him a coin, woman, for there is nothing worse in this life than to be blind in Granada." After touring the Alhambra, which was definitely one of the most amazing places I have visited here in Spain, truly the "jewel" of the country, as our director put it, I was allowed the pleasure of watching tourist after tourist being attacked by the gypsies that roam so freely in this area. It honestly appalled me at how many people fell for the tricks of these sneaky women, and I almost felt bad for them. Had they never read any tour book or website at all, warning them of these thieves? The gypsies would target their victim, go up and start sticking sprigs of rosemary in their hands and clothes, and then demand money from them, hooking on like a leach and asking for more and more. If you have ever seen Spirited Away, it sort of reminded me of the scene where the girl is feeding the spirit and he grows larger and larger, becoming greedier and greedier, getting more and more violent. If you haven't seen it, shame on you. Go watch it.
18:55 The walk of the sad ones: Granada
Apparently some members in our group have a knack for getting lost, which can often get extremely irritating when you have to backtrack for what seems like hours. In search of an Arab market, known as the Alcaicería (originally a Moorish silk market), we ended up on the complete other side of the city. I was somewhat annoyed at first, because I had been saying it was in the other direction for a good 40 minutes but no one had listened, but it turns out that getting lost wasn't all that bad. We found ourselves walking along the river below the beautifully lit up Alhambra atop the ridge of the mountain. This route was originally called the "Paseo de los Tristes", or rather, "The Walk of the Sad Ones", where funeral processions would travel towards the cemetery on the edge of town. It was gorgeous, even in the pouring rain. Eventually, after further investigation, we made it back to the Albayzín (the Arab market), and several shop owners had the pleasure of helping us out of our money.
19:00 Free hookah!
I ate at a fantastic little Arab restaurant while in the Moorish Quarter, and am now extremely excited to go home and make barenjenas, which are flavorful and spicy fried eggplant(s?) and hummus…flavored with lime! I would have never expected that little addition, but the lime seemed to make all the difference. It could be that this meal was the most flavorful that any of us had eaten during our time here in Spain, and all of us were in heaven. As we were leaving the restaurant, the waiter stopped some of us and handed us his card, making sure to let us know that if we ever wanted it, he would let us smoke free hookah in the back lounges. What a generous offer, right? We thanked him and gladly went on our way.
20:00 An offer we couldn't refuse… [Granada]
In the South, there are many brotherhoods, or fraternities, if you will, in the universities that are a pretty big deal. Basically, they are groups of men [locals call them "tunas"] from different schools, such as the school of medicine, of law, of literature, etc., etc. that travel around singing songs and partying. [Instead of studying…because getting drunk and walking around in tights and medieval robes carrying guitars is much more productive] These men range anywhere from the age of 20 to over 65, and all have absolutely mastered the art of womanizing. I have mentioned several times about how deprived everyone has been feeling on this group because we are out of the dating scene and so detached from everyone at home, and just as our luck would have it, a whole band of singing med students and professors were staying at our very same hotel. We all got pictures with them and they sang us songs and even let us wear their capes. It got pretty creepy though because there were so many of them, which I guess made them extremely confident, so while going to our rooms they would come out of theirs, saying "Copa! Copa!", offering us shots. When they found out we didn't drink [everyone here in Spain has heart attacks when they hear this], they told us that their alcohol was Sprite, so we could drink it. Yeah, I think not. Some cornered us and tried to sing us love songs, some grabbed our hands and wanted to dance, and another told us his room was open all night long. Oh joy. We all thought it was hilarious, but still, it was weird…and a little bit sketchy. One of them couldn't really seem to keep their hands where they should be while I was taking pictures with them either, but luckily some of the girls caught it on camera so we have some comical proof of my public rejection. Good times, good times.
20:00 They might be giants: the long road home
On our journey back home to Alcalá, we stopped along the way to visit the famous series of windmills in La Mancha that are so celebrated and essential to the grand story and adventures of Don Quixote. We took a pictures and attempted to stay grounded while fighting the relentless wind, then listened to Profe Meredith read the passage where Don Quixote and his sidekick Sancho first encountered these windmills and proceeded to attack them since Don Quixote was so convinced that these windmills were, in fact, giants. We also taught one girl what to do when literally zero bathrooms are available and there's an emergency. Life lessons, right?
22:00 The first of many lasts
And this is it. My very last weekend trip here on this program is officially over, and as I sit in my room attempting to postpone studying for several final exams, I can't help but think that I am going to miss this place very much. It will be nothing short of a bittersweet goodbye, and I am so grateful that I have had the chance to be here. Five more days, and I will be with my family in this beautiful country. I wish I could just fast forward through my tests and be with them already!
Also, check out the gallery for this post (just by clicking on one of the pictures)…there are a lot that I uploaded that aren't visible on the blog because I got lazy. I don't really know why all of the pictures are weird sizes or messed up either. Ugh. Fail.
Oh! The video for this trip is finally finished! Check it out!

I wake up at least twice a week in terror. I have horribile dreams that leave me wrecked.
There are no monsters or killers in these dreams, I'm basically fighting my own shortcomings.
There are the standards, I am late for class but can find the classroom, I have to take a final for a class I never attended, or (this is strangely the roughest) I need to check my mail but can't remember my mailbox combination (still set in college).
There are others, many about packing or moving. Many about having to esacape some evil person/group.
Last night I think I had the worst. In it my dad said something like "well she's unreliable, so what do you expect?" I'm calling it a win that I didn't just take a blade to my carotid when I woke up.

Painting of the Week: Dad and Phyllis
Here is my completed oil painting of the week. This work features a portrait of my dad and his first wife, Phyllis when they were newly married in the early 1950s. It is based on an old black and white photograph that I found when I was cleaning out my dad's house while he was in the Assisted Living facility back in 2011. I used the photo as a jumping off point for the composition and drawing but used my imagination when choosing the color palette, to create a color harmony of complementary colors of orange and blue, and yellow and violet. My painting is based on a series of oil paintings that I completed about my father's life, based on family photos from different times in his life from childhood to young adult, to older adult to help process my grief during his series of strokes and hospitalization. I found that painting could provide a safe refuge for me when most days were uncertain and chaotic as I waited to get text messages, emails or phone updates on my dad's health from family members, and tried to "keep it together" so I could get on with my daily life activities, like cooking, cleaning, going to work, and just getting out of bed every morning. The painting, Dad and Phyllis, are available for sale on my Etsy page: https://www.etsy.com/shop/ArtofSchmidt?ref=seller-platform-mcnav.

Abraham Lincoln Portrait: Available for Sale on Etsy
Hello Friends,
As promised, I am posting a new painting every week that will be available for purchase on my Etsy shop, https://www.etsy.com/shop/ArtofSchmidt?ref=seller-platform-mcnav. Here is a portrait that I started a few years ago, back in 2012 to be exact. However, a few weeks ago I looked at the painting and I felt it could use some touches of thicker paint to add interest to the painting, which had been painted fairly thinly at the time. I also toned the background down to a blue-gray color so it wouldn't compete with the portrait of Abe Lincoln.This is the finished result, from left to right. Thanks for looking!

What's New?
Hello Friends,
Here is a new acrylic painting I just completed this week of a koi pond with water lilies. It is based on photos that I took of a nearby water lily pond center called Lilly Pons in Adamstown, MD which sells koi fish and water gardens. The center has an extensive water garden on site with various types of waterlilies and koi fish. Since I love the color, this subject seemed like the perfect choice! The painting is now for sale on my Etsy shop at https://www.etsy.com/your/shops/ArtofSchmidt.

Entrepreneur Dad partners with top Toronto restaurants to help get parents out for date night
30% off at hand-picked restaurants give parents the incentive to spend quality time together as couples
Online PR News – 01-June-2011 – – TORONTO, ON, – DiningDateNight.com , a private restaurant reservation website, is launching to the public today. Members get access to exclusive offers at top Toronto restaurants.
David Bloom, the website's founder and a father of two, believes that parents need to make an extra effort to get out together while balancing work, life and family. "Just like you schedule play dates for your kids, it's important to schedule date nights for yourselves," says Bloom.
DiningDateNight.com members (membership is free) pay a $10 reservation fee and get 30% automatically deducted off their entire bill. There is no cap on the savings and there are no coupons, which can be awkward for both customers and servers. "The savings associated with booking through DiningDateNight.com are to give couples that extra push to get out together and connect more regularly over dinner and a glass of wine," says Bloom, "Why wait for Valentine's Day, Anniversaries or Birthdays to celebrate the relationship you share with your partner? It's just as important, arguably more, to connect on a non-occasion Tuesday night, for example."
Bloom is hopeful that DiningDateNight.com will encourage parents to make quality time for each other. "We are not just about the savings. We are about enabling people, especially parents, to experience the perfect date night at the best culinary establishments that Toronto has to offer."
About DiningDateNight:
DiningDateNight (http://www.diningdatenight.com) is a Toronto based startup that provides a marketing and demand management tool for top restaurants. Restaurants use the service to discreetly lower prices on a certain number of tables that they know will otherwise go unfilled based on its traffic patterns. Consumers use the site to access a curated list of restaurants, book their reservations online and get exclusive savings automatically applied to their bill.

Mitchellhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-8166043612118214663.post-62072659288898524472009-05-27T20:37:00.015-04:002009-06-04T16:09:19.831-04:00Take a Risk; Calculated or Not

It's always a pleasure to be invited to the Hamptons. Rather than spend the weekend holed up in their enormous house alone, someone has chosen you as their guest. Usually it's an unmitigated test of manners as you meet all sorts of new people. You are also usually forced to encounter and navigate your way through a litany of Hamptons-specific debacles. e.g. Suddenly there's not enough food. The drunken naked guy who no one knows very well got into the hot tub. You return from an evening out to discover someone else in your bed, etc. There are several ways to handle these situations but in order to be invited back (very important), you must maintain a certain level of respectability and cool. I am no stranger to abject failure at this delicate dance of propriety and have retaliated in ways that are the stuff of legend. However, I learned.

There are few instances in life that you can count as pivotal moments where events would have transpired completly differently had you exchanged a "yes" for a "no." There really is no way to foresee these moments but it has been my experience that a risk-taker's life makes for a much better read than that of a habitual naysayer. (And to think I almost declined that invitation to the Hamptons for Memorial Day weekend!)

Much has been made over the First Lady's style choices and I've heard just as much dissent as I have accolades. It came to a head when a friend's mother proclaimed her outright disgust at Mrs. Obama's personal style. I was shocked. This woman was chic; ( at least by Greenwich, CT's standards) her house laden with modern art and a degree from Parsons hanging somewhere on the premises. I bit my tongue and reflected. Of course! To a woman of her generation, wearing a simple black cardigan and pearls to meet HM Queen Elizabeth is just not done. But for my generation, seeing the president's wife in Junya Watanabe or Lanvin on any given day of the week places her firmly in the risk-taker category.

Marcia A. Mitchellhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-8166043612118214663.post-59801448049367069872009-04-22T10:34:00.008-04:002009-06-01T10:46:37.189-04:00"This isn't about us."
In an interview with Oprah Winfrey, the First Lady opened up about her family's home life and spoke candidly about their first experiences at the White House. Usually, these types of interviews are somewhat cloying in their saturation of recycled sound bytes and factoids; Michelle's mother lives in an "in-law apartment" upstairs, Sasha and Malia must make their own beds, there are over 95 staff members, etc. But Oprah has always had a knack for coaxing the most profound utterances from her interview subject (That is why she is Oprah. Respect.) Michelle quoted her husband, saying "This isn't about us."

They have the forethought to understand the repercussions that Obama's presidency will have on future generations and have acted accordingly. Go ahead. Say it in unison "Oh, I see what you did there!" Yes folks, it's Earth Day! You can make it quick and painless by turning off your lights right now or put in some effort by checking out One Million Acts of Green and following through.Marcia A. Mitchellhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-8166043612118214663.post-33090629970278810692009-04-20T12:45:00.007-04:002009-06-01T10:46:18.465-04:00Reshape America from the Inside Out

*If you hate working out, reward yourself (who doesn't like presents?). Prepare your favorite meal under the pretense that after your workout, you get to devour it or share it with your friends. What's my motivation? I love to show off my Stella McCartney for Adidas running jacket. It makes me feel like a sexy professional marathoner even though I haven't run any respectable distances (or times for that matter) since high school track. The point is, I always find a reason to get excited about running that has nothing to do with the end result. This may seem backwards but when you've been working out for what seems like your whole life, you have to become an innovator in self-motivation. If I go home to the Berkshires, I take all of my gear along and can't wait to take in the amazing views around my favorite running trails. Up behind my mother's house, there's an old mill. It has it's own train station and the tracks wind beautifully around a large pond (I often interrupt the quiet serenity by belting out The Ting Tings and Madonna to my heart's content.) Whether the ground is covered in snow or the first apple blossoms are blooming, the scene always conjures up a feeling of health and vibrancy that keeps me coming back. If you can hold onto an image like that, you can repeat the emotion for any activity.Marcia A. Mitchellhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-8166043612118214663.post-87703122551224074422009-04-17T13:40:00.012-04:002009-06-01T10:46:05.278-04:00...if she went to TOPSHOP?

*I went to TOPSHOP yesterday afternoon after a glorious introductory jaunt to Opening Ceremony. Now THAT was fun. But I distinctly heard sirens beckoning me north on Broadway. I never shop on weekends unless my mother is in town. It's a death wish. So, with my trusty companion, let's call him Bruce Jenner, I surfed a crowd of Danish and Italian tourists and made my way to the flagship store. I would have to suggest that before entering, check that no one in your party is light-sensitive, nauseous or pessimistic. The experience is not for the faint of heart. I went straight to a sales associate and asked where the TALL section is (for future reference, I didn't have time for jeans shopping) and then carried on to The Boutique section. I'm immediately impressed with the Jonathan Saunders collection. The Marios Schwab offerings were completely wiped out. The Richard Nicoll color palette and silouette will have to subject itself to a wait of no less than two months to really grab my attention (read, too pastel).

Out of the corner of my eye, I realized I was alone. Perhaps it was the price point or the lack of recognition of some of these designers but lots of women seemed to be politely clutching at the Kate Moss for TOPSHOP selection. I could immediately see why. It reflects Kate's public persona perfectly. She wants to dress like a grown up but also have fun and turn some heads. Most importantly, she wants women to be able to throw on anything from the collection and upgrade their outfits. This is essential to any yummy mummy who's running from work, picking up children and dropping them off to have drinks with an old colleague (insert your own hectic life list here, it still works.)

I'm sure Mrs. Obama will find some White House appropriate accents. Keep your lookin' balls peeled...Marcia A. Mitchellhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-8166043612118214663.post-33555358704144642062009-04-14T11:50:00.002-04:002009-06-01T10:45:46.305-04:00Three's Company

*Just when you thought the dowager Wintour had all but ignored Franca Sozzani's clarion call in the form of last July's "all black" Italian Vogue, we have a stunning triptych of consecutive US Vogue covers. Our first lady is joined by other fashion worthy black women at the top of their game in this historical gesture. The cover stars include powerhouse performer Beyonce Knowles, Estee Lauder face Liya Kebede and new kid on the block Jourdan Dunn.

The movement spearheaded by Bethann Hardison gained a lot of momentum before last Fall/Winter 2009 runway season but the editorial market has been slow to follow. Even better than a greater presence within the pages of major fashion magazines is immediate visibility. It's fair to say this would not have been such a no-brainer if Mrs. Obama wasn't attractive and chic but I certainly didn't expect a hat trick.

Obviously, we still have more strides to make. But in marketing, the tool of repetition usually garners enough attention by playing off the susceptibility of the human psyche to herd mentality. For better or worse, Anna Wintour's Vogue is the leader in US circulation. So with the continued bombardment of images showcasing successful, chic, black women, we may see a significant shift in the paradigm of beauty as we know it.Marcia A. Mitchellhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-8166043612118214663.post-41122798100072201912009-04-09T16:05:00.003-04:002009-06-01T10:45:08.124-04:00Oscar, Michelle and the Fight for More Black Models.

*Ahhh, the age old argument of "Where have all the black girls gone???" I hold this one so close to my heart that it's difficult at times to get my point heard without sounding completely myopic, self-indulgent or both. But Donna Michelle Anderson has managed to flawlessly express the sentiment via HuffPo and I am more than happy to share the wealth (of knowledge that is, hands off my BofA Keep the Change program!).

There has been a ridiculous amount of coverage on the First Lady's sartorial predilections. From the moment she took the world stage, the documentation and dissection of her wardrobe choices have been bandied about as some major issue. Honestly, it didn't hold much bearing for me until I read a rather catty remark from a designer I have always aspired to wear (when I become a lady who lunches or finally expatriate to Turks and Caicos), Mr. Oscar de la Renta. He manages to display his sour grapes with such efficiency that I really don't need to further implicate him here. But what I do want to focus on is Michelle's seemingly calculated actions. She managed to choose deserving new players who have the most modern perception of who their client is, all whilst remaining loyal to American based designers.

Controversially, I am elated to see people naming names. America is leaving behind an era of ambiguous accountability and moving quickly towards transparency. President Obama has not shied away from exposing each and every offender in the demise of Wall St. and perhaps in a chic and very diplomatic way, his partner Michelle is doing the same to 7th Avenue.Marcia A. Mitchellhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-8166043612118214663.post-62992782292201664162009-04-09T15:32:00.003-04:002009-06-01T10:43:46.901-04:00Welcome!

*I'm so glad you came :) I've got a lot of ideas and a lot of time so get excited! I'm obviously NOT Michelle Obama but from what I've seen, we're are certainly like-minded individuals. And in that vein, I would like to proffer a few suggestions on what the modern woman should do when faced with everyday, real life problems. And what better way to carry yourself through life than with the looks, grace and style of this inspirational woman?

Let's go!!!

Ways to Ensure a More Satisfying Local Home Improvement Contractors Tanquecitos South Acres II Endeavor
Preparing is really definitely indispensable when trying to arrange for a property renovation scheme that will actually perform. Designing before is most definitely necessary when engaging in home or apartment repair services and remodellings that must be conducted. The following is a quick overview of easy ways to perform the right form of preparing for your house or apartment enhancement job – let us get started off!
Most vicinities demand that you purchase permits for any sort of major assignment. Authorizations are typically formed on the requirements asked for in specific regions. There are neighborhoods where you need to maintain a defined look or appearance that is fitting to their specifications. If you enlist the services of a general builder, he will quite often handle these matters, but if you're doing the undertaking yourself, it's your responsibility to find out.

You can learn from both their achievements and mistakes. Building contractors are very useful sources of relevant information when looking for feedback on people you may intend to tap the services of.

If you have an attic or basement, you can accomplish this task easily by remodeling. This can help you de-clutter your home or apartment and make it feel much more comfortable.
If you need to get brand-new plumbing system, a brand-new roof covering or electric rewiring, for example, these are problems that should be addressed long before you even think about much more nonessential upgrades.

Simply by undertaking these services on your own, or with the help of a pal, it will help enhance the way your household looks and eliminate jobs that had to have to be done.
It is about the very small issues, the tiny factors that will help you produce major reconstructions by simply addressing smaller conditions.

Husband took me on a hot date yesterday(Sunday)-At 8:00 a. m. , we climbed aboard the airplane he built (yeah- my knees were shaking a bit) (just the two of us, as it only has two seats- the little one was with Nana) -and off we went!
First, a leisurely tour of Kingston and the area-with special attention to some of the fabulous properties on Amherst Island. The off to Picton for a fly-in breakfast (the group at the local airport is quite active- they host these things regularly). So- hot coffee, bacon, eggs, toast, homefries-all cooked while you watched- topped off with homemade raspberry muffins! (no pictures, since I never know how people respond to having their pic on the web). The interesting part was that as soon as we landed, the airplane was surrounded by about a dozen guys-all wanting to know all about this engine and that body and and and......... It was nice to see Sean getting some recognition for his work. After we ate and chatted with people, off we went again-this time to tour Picton and area by air. It was loads of fun.
Saturday was spent at the Sheep Dog Trials-lots of people, beautiful weather, absolutely gorgeous dogs (especially the litter of 4 five-month old sheep dog puppies). In the trials, there was one handler (from the States) who was 84 years old!!!! And the little sheep (each dog had a 4-sheep "herd" to maneuver and manipulate)-so sweet! There was one mini herd made up of three very obedient sheep, and one, who had either "gone stupid", or was a "rebel without a cause". Every chance he got, he would duck out away from the dog, or run straight at the dog (poor dog just looked at it- as if to say, "What the f...?")-once he even stayed with the herd rather unexpectedly)- confused the poor dog to no end!!!!! Finally, after the herding was completed, the other three sheep just turned their backs on the "rebel".
He kept on butting them in the behind (Aw c'mon, I was just having some fun....) but no go- they weren't interested! I also started a new project (damn that fall Interweave Knits magazine- lots of nice things in it!) This one is called "Breton Jacket", and I am making it out of some stash yarn. It is something I got from Robyn over at Red Bird Knits. Aran weight Wensleydale Longwool, dyed by the Fleece Artist gang especially for Red Bird Knits. The colour is a tonal, mottled moss-I adore it! It almost feels like it has mohair in it- due to the Wensleydale Lomgwool. Nice and soft, with good body. The gauge is a bit off, so I have to play with it a bit, and I don't plan on knitting a belt-I will either put a button on it, or else I will wear a leather belt with it- not yet decided. Since I lost 25 pounds (the all pain, have a knee replacement diet)-my clothes fit differently. So I am shaping this to fit well-on me, that means smaller in the hips than in the bust, with some short row shaping at the bust. This patterns lends itself well to that, since there are stocking stitch panels on either side. So far, so good!
Isn't it purty????????

our debt hit the thirteen trillion dollar mark.
You finally got mad when the government decided that people in America

The Lastlight Chronicles
The largest settlement in Sunder, the city of Lastlight encompasses 3,000 residents and perhaps another 1,000 in its broader catchment area. It is the initial base of operations for our heroes.
Lastlight has been in existence for at least 700 years, beginning its life as a bad of operations for farmers and miners around an even-older dwarven fort. At the time it was known as Stonebridge, for the impressive half-bridge, half-fortification that once buttressed the valley wall. During the early years of the Great War, the fort was used as a shelter and sanctuary by local townspeople. However, the fort received heavy damage during the fighting, including collapsing many of the tunnels that burrowed into the rocky mountainside. The fort has only been partially repaired since that period, and many of its mysteries remain undiscovered to this day.
Toward the end of the wars, as Altamar commenced its role as the coordinating point for the final push, Lastlight gained its now-familiar name as being the last of the beacons that dotted the Sunder Mountains to warn Altamar of attacks. The city was used as a staging post for many of the last, ferocious battles that ended those dark days, and the mountains and valleys around Lastlight are dotted with the remnants of long-forgotten skirmishes.
The city proper is located on a small plateau on the side of Alric's Hope, vertiginously overlooking a valley that separates that peak from its sister mountain, Grimspeak. The bridge that gave the settlement its original name has long since crumbled down the embankment that marks the western limit of the town, although parts of the bridge remain and continue to buttress sagging cliff-faces. Some blocks have been repurposed, but most lay further down the valley – whether buried amongst the trees and moss, or slowly slipping under farmers' fields.
Stonebridge Fort is now Stonebridge College, with the grounds shared between a chapel to the Triumvirate, a wizard's college, and the local garrison – which flies the colours of both Lastlight and Altamar. Lastlight is the nominal home of the Rangers of Sunder; Rangers technically report into the garrison but are largely autonomous, with official business dispensed from inside the walls or at [[The Unicorn and Serpent]] ('uphill'), with less official assignments from one of the 'downhill' taverns such as The Cauldron.
Farmers are well-respected in Lastlight. It's recognised as being tough work; farms rarely stretch over more than a few acres, and split their wares between chicken, goat and some fruits. There are a number of gold seams up in the hills too, and so miners often come through for supplies. Whether due to the city's position on the trail south into Sunder and The Heathlands, or due to the miners, there always seems to be enough money in town to keep the place in good condition, with larders stocked and relatively few people going poor. The people of Lastlight may live their lives clinging to the side of a mountain, but they're hardworking and industrious, and generally look after one another.
People and places
Local personalities include
* Lady Threnody Rook, Beaconmaster of Lastlight
* Gillam Sucain, Chief of the Rangers
* Master Ebben, Wizard of Stonebridge College
* Tarsten Nemir, chief priest of Iero Triumvir
* Kenric, local elven wrestler
* Wulf Doolan, innkeeper of The Unicorn and Serpent
* Duncan 'The Boar' Boarshelm, crime boss of Downhill
* Klausimir Bale, innkeeper of The Cauldron
* Gerth Camble, prosperous dwarven merchant
Locations in Lastlight include:
* Stonebridge College
* The Unicorn and Serpent
* The Crooked Candle
* The Cauldron
* Beacon Square
Getting to and from Lastlight:
Lastlight is located on a well-travelled thoroughfare to Altamar (87km / 54 m, or just over 2 days travel at normal pace). Heading northeast to Altamar, travellers looking to break their journey would first stop at Ombrey and then The Wayhouse.
South of Lastlight, most travellers would take either the High Path, up through the mountains and eventually down toward The Heathlands and distant Larnach (599 km / 372 m; 16 days of travel with guides, 21 without assistance). Some are tempted to take a shorter trek along the Darkened Path. This takes travellers through dangerous woods and the haunted marsh named Finneg's Mire – and few survive to tell the truth of what dwells there.
Heroes looking to travel to more distant locales find Lastlight a conveniently central site. Farthingsnest in Ord is 9 days west (352 km / 219 m). Greengate is 13 days away (497 km / 309 m), and Tervingen in The Septeme is the same distance in the opposite direction.
The Heart of the World, as the centre of the mountains are known, is around 600 km (372 m) south-west of Lastlight. On open roads that would translate to just over 15 days travel, but the hellish terrain and potential for deadly monstrosities means it's likely to take two or three times' that duration to reach – if it can be reached at all.

Fantasy Come True
When we finally came to a building, it had a sign outside saying "The Fantasy Bar." I was now officially nervous. Two girls came to me then, and started to pull my shirt up. The girls started feeling my arms, the men my legs, not touching anything, coming close to my boobs and soaking pussy but never actually touching. I tried to move my hips in the direction of the one man's wandering hands, and he just smiled slyly and pulled his hand farther down my leg. The first piece of relief I felt was when a man was now at my side, and he and the other women started sucking my nipples.
'Snowy' White and The Seven DWALFS
The rest of the team gathered round, watching as the two girls took it in turns to suck Snowy off; passing his cock from one mouth to the other like a sexy game of Russian Roulette. The girl got up, stretched and yawned, before making her way forward with a cheeky grin at Snowy, "Hi honey, I'm Zoe. Thanks for fixing the bus." She found herself a spare seat and was quickly asleep again. After a few minutes both girls stepped back and quickly drew their shirts over their heads, discarding them onto one of the seats before returning to their caress: their lips and tongues exploring each other's mouths while their hands caressed each other's breasts, teasing each other's nipples.
The Weekend
group Mysteria27 2018-03-02
I didn't even know my friends name and now I am going to be having a threesome with his wife and him. My friend then got off the bed and told me that he and I would lick his wife's pussy together. His wife spread her thighs once again and I devoured her pretty pussy, while my friend fucked my ass slowly. My friend had bought another vibrator and told his wife to use it in my pussy and he would lick the juices. His wife started to fuck me good and hard with the toy, while my friend was licking my bald cunt. After that, his wife went to take a bath and my friend thanked me and said he had a wonderful time.
Anna's Men's Room Adventure
Sometimes Carl would start when Anna was sucking his cock. The fantasy generally involved Carl convincing Anna to come into a men's room with him. Carl moved to the side and Anna greedily started sucking the black guys cock. Anna pulled the cock out of her mouth, gasped and while stroking him, said "Oh God, pinch my nipples hard, harder. Anna's dripping wet mouth plus the amazing luck of being blown by a sexy girl in the men's room of the theater where he worked led him to cum almost right away. The black guy moved up, grabbed her head and shoved his cock back into her slut hole of a mouth.
NIcole's Fantasy
group GabrielSweet 2018-02-28
When her tense muscles finally relax a little she take her mouth from Lee, lays her head down and looks behind her, "Put you cock in me, fuck me like you own me, make me your slut!" As if a switch is flipped, Nicole goes wild, bucking and pushing back against the cock inside her pussy, sucking and licking on Lee's prick like it was to save her life. While Aaron is fucking her cunt she lets Lee slip from her mouth and starts to stroke him faster and harder saying, "I love the taste of your cock, do you want to watch me drink your cum ......
College Fantasy Comes True Decades Later
You both giggle and you tell her that was fun and joke, "I kissed a girl and I liked it." You know I am watching and can see I'm a little shocked but go back to the party. You move up on top of me, giving me a wicked smile as you feel my excitement and whisper, "I was gonna put you in the chair, but thought it would be more fun to have you next to us, helpless, knowing how bad you want us, hearing the sounds, smelling the sex and there is nothing you can do but ache and throb." I see Susan next to me, smiling as you torment me, wanting you so bad.
Kevin, Randy and I
group MikeKnight 2018-02-24
Soon I was fucking her doggy style while Kevin sat up at the head of the bed and she basically made love to his huge cock. She talked real dirty, saying how much she loved cock and how she great it was going to feel when I'd blast deep into her pussy and Kevin into her mouth. Randy really did love oral and liked guys to cum all in her mouth. Kevin and I laid there on opposite sides of the bed, under the covers, and just talked and joked a little about how it wasn't nearly as awkward as we'd thought it would be and how many times we thought we could go.
Adding Lexi
The bathroom light gave a slight illumination as my eyes adjusted and focused on the familiar nude body of my husband, Paul spooning a petite, lithe body, her head tucked under his chin. My breathing paused as she pulled closer to him in response to his touch and the weightless, slow motion with which his hand stroked and caressed her skin, firing off those sensory afferents. Very much the firm, body-confident young woman, Lexi started stripping off her cami and pants even before reaching the dressing room. I saw Lexi rub her face on his and kiss along his jawline before she brought her hand up to stroke my cheek. We paused and took a breath before our lips fused: Lexi and I were kissing each other.
Secret Fantasy Fulfilled
group SecretlySinful 2018-02-21
I feel hands caressing my breast, stomach, going down, finding my clit, rubbing me hard and from nowhere I cum again moaning. "Fucking loves having her hungry wet cunt pounded." At that I feel the cock in my pussy spasming and filling me with cum. I feel my head being grabbed and my face pushed into someone's groin being rubbed against a hard cock. I try to speak, but can't and he pulls the gag from my mouth so I can cry out, "Yes, fill me with your cocks, fuck all my holes, use me as the filthy cum bucket I am." Then my mouth is filled with his dick fucking my mouth.
Our Little Fantasy For Three
group pussygalore 2018-02-21
Tye is now slowly pumping his cock in and out of her pussy, pushing just a couple of inches at first and then ever so often he slides his entire eight inches all the way in, driving Leah new levels of pleasure every time. As his cock starts to jerk and spurt inside Leah's hot pussy, she starts to cum again which then takes me over the edge too. A few minutes later, Leah reminds us now would be a good time to remove her blindfold and those silk ties from her wrists. As she did this, she reached over with her other hand and slowly started stroking my now very hard cock in rhythm with her mouth.
My Best Friend's Dad - Part Three
group Kittykatlush69 2018-02-20
His expert fingers rubbing my clit and nipples as he went until I could hold it no longer and moaned loudly as I got my release. One woman in the middle was getting her clit rubbed, while doing anal and sucking a dick at the same time. I closed my eyes and felt the trunk thrusting in and out, the vibrator continually going at my clit, my toes and boobs still being licked and sucked. Lots of images shot through my mind: all the times I'd had sex with my friend's dad, our bodies rubbing against each other, his dick inside me. All the way home, I thought about why my best friend's image had come into my mind while having an orgasm.
Five Nights Ch. 05
group Noreasonneeded 2018-02-19
"Get your tongue in my pussy!" She sounded mean, but she was grinning, and Marybeth got her face down and I watched her suck the lips of Sue's pussy, pulling them away from her body, then jam her mouth into the hole, drilling for Sue juice. "Get off, slut," she said, "it's my turn." And as Sue slid to the side, Marybeth took her place, planting her cunt on my face, and driving my cock into her mouth, humming and groaning onto my shaft as I stuck my tongue into her lava pit. Sue was licking her clit, and my balls were her on her nose as I rested there a minute, feeling the heat, then I pulled out and dropped my cock to Sue's mouth, and she sucked it enthusiastically, loving the taste of her friend's pussy.
The guardian princess
group whotoldyouiwrite 2018-02-19
As tyler worked on her breasts, Fiona took off her shorts to reveal a well trimmed soft pussy. Tyler used one hand to run down Fiona's body to her pussy while his mouth moved up to Fiona's mouth and the other unbuttoned his denims to pull out his cock. AFter removing her shorts Fiona's hands unbuttoned Tyler's shirt and then ran down his dirty body to hold his cock. "Come Iris, I will show you the real power" Fiona commanded and then turned to Tyler," Tyler, lick my pussy, baby" Soon Tyler had started to lick Iris' pussy and she came almost immediately. Fiona then told Tyler to sit on a rock and asked IRis to ride his cock.
Your First Threesome
I whisper in your ear as I push two of my cleaned fingers back inside and thumb your hard clit, "Well, if we find the right guy, maybe it can be more than a dream." Your hips thrust into my hand and I feel your walls clamp down on my fingers. My hands stroking down your body, following the curves, teasing your nipple rings through your blouse, covering your ass for a squeeze, and finally dipping into the band of your skirt as my fingers move towards your pussy. I hold still letting you work yourself back and forth on my cock, your ass pulling me into you and gripping me each time I'm sliding out.
Biker Man
Tanya was a well put together woman - sexy mouth and eyes, 38 C bust with large, sensitive, stubby nipples, a flat stomach and slim waist flaring out to rounded hips with a full mound with large juicy lips around her pussy which quickly became soaking wet at the slightest stimulation. There was some moaning coming from one end of the room and Tanya leaned forward to see what was happening and saw one of the girls was topless and sucking one of the men's cock. His other hand came up and fondled her breasts through her waistcoat and when Tanya leaned back further against Gary to let him feel her, he quickly slipped her waistcoat open.
Bless A Fantasy
Closing her eyes, she felt herself pulse from the nights sex and thought about her man and how she loved to be with him. She had mastered the suck and fuck with her mouth but not until now had she felt her hand jack his shaft to orgasm. She saw her man's face full of amazement and heard the sounds he'd make as he slammed into her full bodied, his blood red cock held perfecty by an expert. The sweat poured from his body and hers, as the cool one behind entered with his cock reaching in front, regaining control of her man's cock, jacking him away from her and into himself. She knew the man was in him completely and felt the tear of the cock shoved in her.
Hot Tub Fuck Machine
group silkstockingslover 2018-02-16
My wife obeyed and Conner repositioned himself on the edge of the tub so Amanda would have an easy time sucking his cock as she got fucked by another. She took Conner's cock out of her mouth and said, "Fuck yes, harder, deeper, please fuck me deeper." Conner grabbed my wife's hair and pulled her back onto his cock as Aiden moved one leg of his onto the side of the tub and then pounded into her deeper and faster. I looked up and saw the facial expressions of a guy close and said, "Slut, swallow another load." She quickly turned around, her just fucked pussy in my face, as she engulfed Conner's rod and sucked it desperate to retrieve his cum.
A Middle Earth Odyssey- Chapter 1
group JessLuvzSara 2018-02-15
Astriel and Kirien return; Yanina and Starial head to the bathroom. When Starial and I break our kiss, Kirien is sucking hard on Astriel's nipple. As Kirien's tongue is about to touch Astriel's pussy, Starial claps her hands; signaling Kirien to stop. Starial pulls my hand from Kirien's right breast and sucks her nipple hard. When Starial snaps her fingers, Astriel gets between Kirien's legs and licks up all of the sweet nectar from her leaking hole. Astriel, standing there in just her sexy leather boots, grins and says, "Yes, this hobbit girl knows how to fuck." That brings a roar and applause from us all. Starial comes out of the moment and claps her hands four times: a cue for Kirien and Astriel.
Wife's account of foursome
In the mean time, I had removed my undies and was having my pussy licked and just as John slid into Nikki I came really hard, Nikki's guy stood up and dropped his shorts, I could see he was excited but wasn't ready for what popped out, he was huge, long and thick, I wasn't sure if I could take it in my mouth or pussy but I was going to try, Nikki was watching and laughed when she saw my face.
Moving Day
He brought a hand up and touched the side of my face as his tongue pressed against my lips, asking for permission. Robbie came up behind me again, but given that Shawn's mouth now covered one of my breasts, Robbie's hands massaged my back and shoulders instead. As soon as I grew used to the full feeling of Robbie inside of me, I continued to lick the head of Shawn's dick. I tried to match Robbie's motions on Shawn, sliding him in and out of my mouth quickly, licking his shaft and head with each thrust. He was standing with his legs straddling Shawn's head, but Shawn was so focused on my actions that he didn't seem to notice. While I was kissing Robbie, Shawn slid inside of me.

"Come on Kev, get in on this." Jay said, " She's amazing and we are nowhere near done." Her husband here has been kind enough to trade a couple of hours with her for the mattress." Kevin sat the beers down and moved to the side of the bed. Her head rolled back as the orgasm built inside of her body and Jay continued to fuck her juicy tight cunt with his huge cock . As she took Jay's cock into her mouth Kevin said that she had now earned his cock and plunged it deep into her now cum soaked pussy. She took Jay's entire cock straight down her throat and as I left the room to raid the beer fridge I heard her moan as his tongue and fingers entered her pussy.
Fantasy Island part 1
group cunning_linguist 2018-02-08
"Hey Pat you look great," said Pete, trying not to look to look but unable to take his eyes away from Pat's breasts as their motion strained the singlet to the utmost. "And you, Pete," chuckled Sue, "even when Pat gave you a full on view, you were trying not to look at her boobs. Pete's fantasy; I guess Pat would fit the bill, I know Pete nearly came just from looking at her on the beach." "Dear Pete, after seeing you on the beach I don't think you have anything to worry about," said Pat. "But you are right, we should ease into it. "I think we've answered the questions," smiled Pat looking at Pete and myself with huge erections streaked with precum from the girls handiwork.
Tina's Fantasy Fulfilled
group chriskayaks 2018-02-07
Needless to say, after only a few minutes, Kent was blowing his load down Tina's throat with Mike slamming his cock home once more before groaning and filling her cunt with a weeks worth of pent up cum. Just as I thought she was going to call it a night and quit, she made the following request: "I want three huge cocks in me at once plus one in each hand." She looked directly into my eyes while she told me to come stand at her head, then she selected the other four for her fantasy fuck. After I had retrieved a beer from the cooler for her I turned around and saw that Tina had spread her legs wide and was slowly drawing circles around her clit, using several loads of fresh cum for lubrication.
