Chapter Six: Gerard's Promise1 Reviews
Can Gerard make good on his promise?
Chapter 6. Gerard's Promise
It was hard. Okay, strike that. It was really hard.
Gerard barely got through it. I barely got through it. There were relapses, there was blame, and there was anger. But no way was it as bad as it had been before.
In the middle of the night, I laid my head on his chest. He wrapped and arm around me, fingers gently tracing over my side. Gerard had finally recovered, and I was so happy.
"I love you," he whispered.
"Love you back," I answered, snuggling up to him.
"How long has it been that we've done this without me getting up for a drink?" Gerard asked.
I smiled and kissed his chest. "A long time. I missed it."
Gerard nodded and grinned down at me. He looked so cute with his hair falling into his face. I sat up and gave him a peck on the lips. "So, we're recording tomorrow, right?"
Gerard nodded, eyes closed. "Yeah. 'Ghost of You' first."
I just held him closer. "You know…"
"What?" he asked, his eyebrows knit together. "Something wrong?"
And suddenly I couldn't bring myself to say it.
So I smiled and answered, "No. I guess I was just thinking."
How could I tell him that fame had ruined his life once, and that it could do it again? And how I hated being photographed everywhere I went? And how I (selfishly) wanted him all to myself?
But most of all, I wanted him to be happy. So I bit my tongue and tried to smile as I watched him drift off to sleep.
Author's Note: Review and rate, or the Nelson twins will turn up on your doorstep. Wow. That's one hell of an outdated reference.

Last week, the stylish tornado known as New York Fashion Week (or in the Twitterverse, #NYFW) hit the Big Apple, leaving a trail of street style snaps behind it. Thanks to your home girl here, I managed to snap up a few ladies who were well-versed in chic and hanging outside of Milk Studios. Now, if you're not too familiar with Milk Studios, it's a spot where tons of designers show off their latest collections during the week, and is just as important as NYFW's current HQ, Lincoln Center. Designers like Jeremy Scott, Pamela Love and Katie Gallagher more than often always set up shop here every September and February.
With so many shows and presentations happening at Milk Studios, where else would there be another spot to catch a few stylish Downtown denizens? Check out the stylish NYFW go-ers down below and read about what trends they'll probably be rocking come spring of next year!
Name: Maulde
Occupation: Art student in Switzerland
Tell us what you're wearing today: A shirt I bought at UNIQLO, Jeffrey Campbell shoes, a flower crown I made myself and some jewelry that pretty much came from everywhere.
What shows did you see today? None. No one.
Well, then. What are some of your favorite trends you're looking forward to the Spring/Summer 2013 season? I really love shirts. And I really like to zip it to the neck. So, that's my trend!
Name: Joy Adaeze
Occupation: Stylist and fashion blogger
Tell us about what you're wearing today? Today, I was going tropical. I knew it was going to rain. I wanted to bring some life into my ensemble. So I chose this Versace for H&M skirt which I haven't worn. I got it last November. It was in my closet so I figured let's bring it out to play. And I figured why not just do the scarf. And make it a look. I love prints. And this is a fun, easy print.
What shows did you see and what did you think of them? Hervé [Leger] was really good. They have this new bandage that they're doing that's very innovative and fresh. It's kind of like a weaved pattern. I think it's a good way to show an old favorite in a new light. I also loved Mimi Plange. It's a long story but I used to work for her three years ago, and she has this new collection. And it was inspired by tea — ceramic prints and florals. She did like leather skirts with florals and beautiful blouses. I was really proud of her collection.
Name: Isla
Occupation: Fashion student in London
What are you wearing today? I really like a jazzy trouser. I'm wearing Nikes 'cause they're comfortable. I genuinely just got this jacket as well.
What shows have you seen so far? Creatures of the Wind was like '50s tweed pastels on acid. I saw Suno, that was amazing. I loved all the prints. I love prints and designers who like to use color.
Name: Elana Fishman
Occupation: Digital Fashion News Editor at Lucky Magazine
What are you wearing today? I am wearing a Prabal [Gurung] dress. Prada flats that I got when I was in Milan at the Prada outlet there. A vintage Chanel bag that was my 21st birthday gift. And nothing else of note. Some random bracelets I got at fashion events a while back.
Some of your favorite shows you saw this week thus far? I was very bummed to miss Honor, as it was one of my favorites so far — was so beautiful. And if I had appropriate events to wear those dresses to, I would do so. I really liked Marissa Webb this morning, the former head of womenswear at J. Crew. Her new stuff is very J.Crew-esque but it's a littl emore polished. And I would gladly wear everything. And Prabal today was incredbile. There weas this feather cocktail dresses towards the end of the show that I loved.
What are some of the big trends you think we will see this upcoming season? A lot of head-to-toe white which we saw last spring obviously. But it's always very warm weather-y, so I like to see it come back. And then I've also been noticing a lot of clear outwear, like plastic raincoats. Charlotte Ronson did these completely clear plastic bomber jackets that were really awesome. I feel like they would just be a sweatbox to wear but they look really cool. There's a lot of scarf prints still which I think are beautiful. I'm really excited for Clover Canyon actually because they, well she, Rozae Nichols, does some of my favorite scarf prints nowadays.

"Kain and our student-athletes have followed their beliefs with great passion and courage," Wildcats coach Pat Fitzgerald tweeted. "I'm incredibly proud of our young men! GO CATS!"
NLRB spokesman Gregory King confirmed that a petition by the players to form a union was filed at the board on Tuesday. King said the board would likely conduct a hearing within the next 10 days.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
The key issue the board must resolve is whether the football players are employees as defined by federal labor law, said United Steelworkers official Tim Waters. If they're deemed employees, he said, they would have the legal right to organize.
"It's crystal clear that college football players are employees," he said, arguing most put in a 40-hour work week and create revenue, though not for themselves. He and the Steelworkers president, Leo W. Gerard, said the relationship between colleges and athletes amounted to "pay for play."
William B. Gould IV, a Stanford Law School professor emeritus and former NLRB chairman, predicted the board will rule for the players.
"The major obstacle is the Brown University decision of a decade ago," he said, referring to a 2004 decision under a George W. Bush-era board that removed the right of graduate students at private universities to unionize.
The NLRB said in 2012 that it will reconsider Brown, and Gould thinks it will be reversed.
"I think these guys are employees because their compensation is unrelated to education, unlike the teaching assistants in Brown University, and they are supervised not by faculty, but by coaches," Gould said. "Their program for which they receive compensation does not have a fundamentally educational component. So given the direction and control that supervisory authorities have over them, I think they are easily employees within the meaning of the act."
Rauch, the labor attorney, said he thought union-minded athletes will have a tough time demonstrating they are employees, and he thought their chances of prevailing were slim.
"They have high hurdles to jump," he said.

Goodbye 2010...
Tags: historic dude rancher lodge awards honors
Many many thanks to Jon Axline who nominated us for the National Register of Historic Places, and we welcomed the Montana Historic Preservation Board as they met in Billings to hear the nominations. We were notified in August that we were accepted - such an honor - we recently received our plaque, which will go up just outside the Lobby entrance (as soon as we can determine how to do it without compromising our weeping mortar!).
We provided our warm western hospitality to many groups this year, including DPHHS, FSA, Crowder College, YMCA Strong Kids Tournament, MT Arabian Horse Association, Nations Summit, GWCA Reunion, Talking Circle, School of Christian Mission, GWTA, Docktor Memorial, Mt Synod, MISO, ABS Travel, Civil War Education Association, Northern Cheyenne Board of Health and Utilities Commission, MT Cowboy Hall of Fame and a Dude tradition, the YMCA Writers Voice & Bookfest.
The Soda Butte Lodge sent us many foreign students and we were honored to welcome them to our Country and the "Wild West"!
Our long relationship with the TX Ranch continued as their foreign customers delighted in the western theme of our hotel and we made sure they got all their "western" duds!
And let's not forget the great community of Arlee, who converged on Billings for the Class C State Basketball Tournament! You were part of our family by the time you checked out!
Entertainers love the ambiance of the Dude Rancher and we hosted the touring company for "Annie" (she loved her gift basket!), Windwood Productions' "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", The Glenn Miller Orchestra, Montana Repertory Theater, Copper Street Brass Quintet, the San Diego Ballet performing the Nut Cracker Suite, Roseneath Theater and Shakespeare In The Parks. Our heartfelt thanks to Sean Lynch for using the Dude for lodging for his many entertainers and production people - and for the great music he brings to Billings!

Local sponsorships included Billings Family Services, Rocky Mountain College, Rimrock Opera, Billings Symphony, Big Sky State Games, Yellowstone Downs, Billings Outlaws and the Farmers Market.
Our Fireside Room saw lots of activity this year in many forms! Wedding showers, board meetings, a fundraiser for the MT Healthcare Assoc. Scholarship Foundation and was converted to a classroom for the students touring with "Annie"! The activity will culminate on New Year's Eve with a WEDDING! What better way to end the year?
And what a fabulous year of exposure! The Montana Paranormal Research Society conducted two investigations resulting in some very interesting evidence! Karen Stevens' newest book, Another Haunted Montana, was published in the Fall and features a chapter on the Dude Rancher Lodge. Renee Christianson of Montana Fun Adventure Tours continued her Annual Ghost Tours, originating at the Dude Rancher, and KULR-8 and KTVQ both broadcast stories on the tours, featuring the Dude! Magic City Magazine's March edition featured the Paranormal Society on the Dude Rancher Investigation with lots of photographs and history of our historic property. The Billings Gazette published a wonderful article announcing our placement on the National Register of Historic Places. Montana Magazine ran an article by Jon Axline entitled "Old West Overnight" and Distinctly Montana Magazine features us as the only Billings property in their Western Getaway Roundup of their Winter edition. Most recently, award winning author, Craig Johnson, talks about the Dude in his newest short story, "Unbalanced".
Words cannot express our gratitude and appreciation to all of our loyal customers. It has been our pleasure to provide food and lodging, a shelter from the storm, a hot cup of coffee and warm place to hang your hat! Here's to 2011!

The arrest warrant for a Smith County father charged with manslaughter after his four-year-old daughter died in a hot car is revealing more details about the events leading up to her death.Russel Lindstrom, 33, of Flint, was arrested by Smith County sheriff's deputies on Wednesday and charged with one count of manslaughter and one count of injury to a child.According to the arrest affidavit, on June 11, Lindstrom's daughters, Zoey, 3, and Bella Rose, 4, locked themselves in a pickup truck in front of Lindstrom's home. Lindstrom told deputies he had put his daughters down for a nap while their mother was at work. He began doing laundry and playing games on his cell phone. An hour went by before his brother-in-law walked onto the front porch where Russel was playing on his cell phone and asked where the girls were, since it was "unusual for them to be quiet for any length of time." The men checked the bedroom and couldn't find the girls anywhere. A search of the yards and woods near the property turned up nothing. Russel ultimately found Bella and Zoey in their Nissan pickup. Authorities say Lindstrom told them Bella was slumped over in the back seat, not breathing. She had also vomited in the truck. Lindstrom called 911 and Bella was transported to a Tyler hospital where she was pronounced dead. When she arrived at the hospital, her body temperature was 107.9 degrees. An emergency room doctor listed her cause of death as respiratory failure and hyperthermia.Zoey was treated on scene by EMS, but was later taken to a Tyler hospital to be treated for dehydration and heat exhaustion.Lindstrom told authorities that his daughters had been found playing in the truck in the past and had locked themselves in before. However, their parents were able to immediately remove them. When Smith County deputies processed the truck, they found small hand prints on the inside of the windows of the driver and passenger doors, as well as clearly visible streaks on the roof of the truck to the hood of the truck, which appeared to have been created by children. Lindstrom's wife told deputies that she and her husband knew Bella was able to open the truck door and that her daughters played on the truck as a type of jungle gym.Neighbors told detectives that they had seen Lindstrom daughters playing near the road in front of their house. On one occasion, a neighbor said one of the children was in the middle of the road. The neighbor stopped and walked the child back into the yard.Officers seized two tablets and three laptops from the home, according to the report, as well as drug paraphernalia found in a chest in the master bedroom.Lindstrom is being held in the Smith County Jail on a $150,000 bond for manslaughter and a $50,000 bond for injury of a child.Copyright 2014 KLTV.

— Welcome to Video Game Land — a place graced with the most extreme of climates. In the summer months, this locale transforms into a scorched desert with only a few shimmering oasis to sustain its residents. And in the winter months, it becomes a flood zone — the kind of place one could easily drown.
That is, when it comes to the flow of top-tier video game launches, gamers are caught in an endless cycle of draught and flood … when what we really need is a nice steady stream to drink from.
This comes to mind now as the warm months bring the list of weekly game launches to a trickle. Yes, May, June and July gave us "inFamous," "Ghostbusters: The Video Game" and "Wii Sports Resort." Meanwhile "Madden NFL 10" launches today and "Wolfenstein" launches Tuesday. But if big games are your thing, there's no denying that the pickings grow slimmer as the days grow longer.
But look ahead at the horizon. There, in the months to come, you'll find a tidal wave looming. Consider this list of games scheduled to launch from Oct. 20 to Nov. 20: "Borderlands," "DJ Hero," "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2," "Assassin's Creed II," "Left 4 Dead 2," "Tony Hawk: Ride," "Tekken 6," "Dragon Age: Origins" and "Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time." And that doesn't include mega-games like "Halo 3: ODST," "The Beatles: Rock Band" and "New Super Mario Bros. Wii" which are also scheduled to launch this fall and winter.
So why does this cycle of feast or famine continue year after year? Spending summers waiting for the most anticipated games to trickle from the faucet is annoying … and so is getting a blast in the face come holiday season. It isn't good for game consumers trying to budget and balance the limited cash they have for purchases, and it can't be good for the games industry. I mean, right?
Bad for you, bad for me
"Unlike the movie industry and maybe the concert industry, the summer hasn't been very well utilized or monetized by the game publishers," says analyst Michael Cai, vice president of video game research at Interpret LLC.
Meanwhile, during the late fall and winter months, game publishers are madly monetizing away.
"Frequently, you see publishers launching similar games that are in the same genre or that will compete for gamers' mind share and wallet share at the same time. And sometimes those games are even coming from the same publisher," Cai says. And no, "It's definitely not good for their sales numbers."
Cai points out that last year's jam-packed holiday launch schedule was cited as a reason for underperforming sales from a number of titles. "Dead Space" and "Mirror's Edge" were among those hurt in the crush.
When the NPD Group announced their dismal summer video game sales figures yesterday, many were quick to point to the end-of-year game-launch glut as a chance to pretty up the fiscal picture. But maybe summer sales figures wouldn't be quite so bleak if consumers weren't forced to sit around twiddling their thumbs as they waited for the blockbusters to finally arrive. I mean, why cram so many titles in front of gamers during one time of year?
Certainly games make good gifts, so launching around the gift-giving holidays makes good sense to some extent. But also, "part of the reason might be a kind of inertia and risk aversion," Cai says. "Traditionally, the game industry generates more than 50 percent of their revenue in the fourth quarter and then it just turns into this kind of self-fulfilling circle that everybody believes they're going to do well in the fourth quarter and therefore everybody ships their big titles in the fourth quarter."
But Cai says publishers have been learning that this end-of-year rush doesn't always work and have been making adjustments. Games like "Grand Theft Auto IV" and "The Sims 3," for example, have been launched during the summer months to great success. Meanwhile, in recent weeks, publishers have announced they'll be postponing a multitude of games originally scheduled for release this holiday to next year instead.
A Capcom rep told Game Spot that they have delayed the planned holiday release of their third-person shooter "Dark Void" until early next year to avoid the crowded fall season. Meanwhile, Activision is moving its time-manipulating shooter "Singularity" out of the fall/winter schedule to next year so that it doesn't have to compete with another hugely anticipated Activision title: "COD: Modern Warfare 2." And Take-Two Interactive announced last month that it was cancelling the November launch of "Bioshock 2" and moving it to 2010.
"We believe the result will be a more compelling consumer experience and a better performing product in the marketplace," Strauss Zelnick, Chairman of Take-Two, said in a statement.
The news has frustrated some gamers who were looking forward to playing these highly anticipated titles. But others are relieved.
"I'm glad there are so many game delays this holiday because I didn't have the money for all the games I wanted to play and I still don't," wrote gamer DjFlex53 in a discussion forum.
Warming up to the summer months
Certainly it makes sense that publishers would think of summer as a less-than-ideal time to peddle games — what with the sun and great outdoors luring players away from their machines. But the reality is, game playing hardly comes to a stop during the summer.
On Monday, Nielsen released stats showing that gamers are spending more time playing games this summer than last. In fact, this June was a record breaker, with data showing that total video game console usage minutes increased 21 percent over last June.
Cai believes it makes good sense for publishers to start thinking more seriously about launching big games during the summer. Not only is there less competition, but younger players — especially college kids — are out of school and have more time on their hands. Interpret LLC data shows that hours-per-week spent gaming among 18-to-24-year-olds increased by 9 percent during the last three months over the same period last year, Cai said.
He also points to the emergence of the Wii as something publishers should consider.
"Wii gamers care a little bit less about rushing out there and buying a game in the first week of its release," Cai says. "They tend to stretch out their purchases throughout the year, even games that have been released for a long time. So with gamer demographics changing it makes sense for some of these publishers to begin experimenting with a more refined release strategy."
Certainly Microsoft and Sony have found one smart way to put the slow spring and summer months to good use. Both have taken this time to launch and promote their best downloadable games — smaller games often from indie developers that could easily get trampled during the holiday crush.
Microsoft is in the midst of its second-annual Summer of Arcade event in which each week for five weeks they unveil one of their best new Xbox Live Arcade titles — the combustible comedy platformer "Splosion Man" and the Orson Scott Card-inspired side-scroller "Shadow Complex" (coming Wednesday) among them. Meanwhile, earlier this year, Sony ran a Spring Fever campaign — launching standout PlayStation Network titles like the gorgeous "Flower" and the stretchy, surreal adventure "Noby Noby Boy."
And that's one thing I've come to appreciate about the summer slowdown. It forces us gamers to slow down as well and to look for our gaming fix in new, less obvious places.
During these lazy summer days, I've spent quality time with WiiWare platformer "NyxQuest: Kindred Spirits" entranced by its elegant gameplay. I've wallowed in "Pure Hidden," the most spellbindingly gorgeous PC hidden-object game I've ever laid eyes upon. And I've jumped into the PSN's "Shatter," a stylish and addictive block-breaking game with a rump-shakin' original soundtrack.
Perhaps that summer dry spell isn't such a bad thing after all.

Video | Overeem Thinks UFC Heavyweight Champion Junior Dos Santos Is Scared To Face Him | UFC News
By Jamie McAllister
Alistair Overeem in an interview with MMA Fighting.
Overeem comments on the current UFC Heavyweight Champion Junior Dos Santos and has a feeling that Dos Santos doesn't want to face him.
"For me, I'm a fighter, I'm here to kick ass, I don't care who I'm fighting. I'm already a three-time world champion, I'll fight anybody, anywhere, so I'm going to leave that to the gentlemen of the UFC to decide. I know [Junior dos Santos] didn't want to fight me in the first place. I know he was happy [about the NSAC decision], I just know that. I hit very hard, I've knocked out a lot of people, I've submitted a lot of people. I am, in any way you look at it, a legitimate threat to his title. I'm gonna get it. He knows that. Cain (Velasquez) is also doing very well right now, but Cain doesn't hit as hard as I do. Cain is smaller than I am and has less experience. I'm the biggest legitimate threat out there, that's why he's afraid."

For those who usually are in the examination room whit wife or girl.
Have you ever felt an erection during wife's or girl's examination?
My wife does not allow me in the exam room unfortunately!
Thanks for your answer
The only times I have been present when my wife was examined were during her pregnancies. Though fantasies of her being examined by a male doctor are powerfully arousing to me, the reality of being present and watching her being examined was not arousing.
The first couple of times I accompanied my wife had no effect on me but things changed dramatically when she changed Doctors after her original Doctor (a man) retired.
Following an operation she had to have an examination and when we got to the hospital we found that her new Doctor was a woman (attractive brunette around 35 years old). We went into the examination and she asked my wife to remove her dress and sandals so she could check her height and weight. Watching her having to strip to her underwear for this woman was a huge turn-on and I felt myself getting hard!
Next she was asked to remove her bra so she could examine her breasts and I watched with pleasure as she caressed and squeezed my wife's breasts. My wife's breasts are extremely sensitive and i have often made her climax just by caressing them so I knew what this would be doing to her - her breathing had got heavier and to my delight I saw her nipples stiffen and imagined her panties getting damp with her cum. By now I had an absolutely raging erection!
The best was yet to come however as she was then asked to get onto the examination table and remove her panties for the internal exam. She slipped off her pants and spread her legs and I could see that she was already wet with excitement. The Doctor inserted 2 fingers into her vagina and began to feel and probe around. By now my wife was flushed pink and sweating and as the examination continued she occasionally gasped and flexed her legs slightly. The thought that she was responding to the Doctor's touch was fantastic and I suddenly thought how wonderful it would be if she actually climaxed during the exam - my briefs were now damp with precum and for a minute I thought I was going to ejaculate!
Sadly it was over far too soon and she was allowed to put her clothes back on and we went home. When we got back she said she was feeling a little sweaty and went for a shower. While she was in the shower I examined her panties and to my delight the crotch was soaked with her cum from when she was having her breasts examined.
It was one of the most erotic experiences of my life!
My god! ican't go anymore with her. Every time i am red when i leave the cabinet. My dick is hard and just want to cum out. it s to hard to qtay fair. the best is the internal exam. I dreams to record it.
I have only been fortunate enough to sit in on 2 exams but I each time, I got really hard. I agree with everyone on here that said the anticipation is the best part. Walking down the hall to the exam room and the undressing were almost too intense to handle.
I think I personally get too caught up in the moment to get an erection. But after may be a different story..
I always get an erection knowing that my wife is lying back in the stirrups in a position that I would love to be able to have her in.
I would have one for sure!
I always get a hard while going with my girl to her obgyn. But her doctor never allows me to enter the exam room. So I generally stand in the door, with a giant erection, wondering what is happening inside. :(
It's up to your wife, not the doctor.
I accompanied my ex a few times for her OB/Gyn visits. Apart from the first time, I do not recollect having an erection. I think the medical room setting as well the tone of the doctor and the nurse does a good job of desensitizing any erotic feelings.
My wife is pregnant. I went with her a few days ago for the check up. Once the doctor was done and left the room, my wife told me she could see I had an erection.
I've attended a few visits with my wife during pregnancy. Each time, she's been asked to undress from the waist down only. I've gotten an erection when she's undressed waiting as I'm watching her on the table waiting, but when the doc (female) comes in for the TVU, I usually lose the erection as I'm focused on the baby.
Lady Teddy, name the time and place!
I agree, anyone who doesn't get an erection probably has a problem. The whole point of being there is to be supportive to your partner but also to turn what could be an unpleasant experience, into something that ....hopefully......you both enjoy. I was with my wife when she was having an exam,which culminated in having a smear sample taken,which I know is uncomfortable. I was standing alongside ,so had a good view as the Dr.'s fingers opened and probed deeply into her Vagina,stretching her Labia wide in the process. This gave me a raging hard on!!! My wife moved our joined hands and " accidentally" brushed the back of her hand over the front of my trousers. She definitely was checking to see of I was Erect.
I wos with my wife in hospital before she has birth. The nurse doing small vaginal exam and after she get the injection to my wife. Iy was great but i dont had the erection.
Every time I go i get a erection and after words I releave my erection with my GF in the office after the doctor leaves..:-)
Yes, I have had one before. Most embarrassing but I had on lose pants so I hope he did not notice. It is hard not too when you see your wife naked on the table with her legs spread apart and another guy between her legs!
The last tvu she had was last Friday. I was standing beside her while he was doing the ultrasound and I had a little erection that went to full on when he wife gave me a little grope after the Dr said she had two nice follicles ready to be released. Needless to say we didn't make it straight home.
yes very hard would like to see her examined bent
I have never had an erection during the half dozen times that I accompanied my wife into her examinations. I guess I was too nervous at the time. They did provide great memories, though.
Yes! I have always full erection during my wife examination.
Very funny stac, I can just imagine your "interpreter" in the exam room with you. Glad to hear you both enjoyed.... :)
Yes, I most always get a hard while going with my wife to the OBGYN.
my wife's last exam was like a dream come true to me. First the male doctor made her naked from waist up and did breast exam then he asked her to remove the panties for vaginal exam. He took his own time for both of these exams and I saw wife' s nipples are very hard. i noticed her vaginal area was wet when she was in stirrups. and during the vaginal exam she had orgasm and I had the hardest erection and almost come.
Yes I rock hard erection when watching my wife get examined. She knows that I get excited so she does her best to play it up and tease me before hand. One time she needed a transvaginal ultrasound and I was seated looking directly at her vagina while the doctor manipulated the probe in her. I almost came watching that!
I have never been to my wife's exam, although she has said I was welcome to come with her. I do not know what my reaction would be. That's one of those things you don't know until you're there. I think the imagination of what goes on and having her describe it after the exam is part of the excitement of it. I know I have an erection after the fact. That's the best part.
The room was cold, so, was she barefoot or in a hosiery ? (socks, over-knees, stockings?)
Great post
The short answer is yes I get an erection when I'm watching a woman be examined.
I went with my girl friend to her annual exam. I started to get semi hard while in the waiting room, once the nurse came out and called her name, and we started walking back towards the exam room, I really started to get excited. Watching my girl friend get undressed made it even more intense. It was cold out that day so she had on a few extra layers and the jeans she was wearing had buttons instead of a zipper. She wore a blue cloth gown and a white paper drape. Seeing her sitting on the exam table and waiting for the knock was driving me wild. I brought in a large iced tea because I knew my mouth would get dry. I saw a picture of her doctor online, but it didn't do her justice. There was a knock on the door and when the doctor walked in, I was in shock at how beautiful she was. After the regular questions, she started to listen to her heart and lungs and then came time for the breast exam. My girl friend has a family history of breast cancer so the doctor made sure that she spend extra time palpating her 32B's. She has smaller nipples but the room was cold.....and she knew how excited I was.....and they were standing at attention. Then came the pelvic exam. She got into the stirrups and as the doctor snapped on her gloves, you could tell that she knew what was coming. I mouthed to her "It's okay" and gave her a nod........she then let her legs fall wide apart while looking at me. I would go from looking into her eyes, to looking at just how far her legs were spread apart, seeing speculum inside her and watching the doctor do the pap smear, then back into her eyes. Then I saw the doctor put some lube on her two fingers and as I watched her slide her fingers inside her, I could see my girl friend kind of squirm and come up off the table a bit. Once the exam was over, and the doctor left, I thanked my girl friend for letting me watch her most intimate of doctors appointments. She told me that she actually liked having me in the exam room. We then went to lunch. She asked me if I enjoyed it and I told her that I had the biggest erection of my life and that my boxers were soaked in precum. Then when we went home and put my erection to great use........and in a small way I was hoping that a visit to her doctor would be sooner than a year.
During the exam I control myself as I watch but when we get home I have a "diamond cutter"!! I really enjoy recalling what I saw and it leads to a super session for both of us

Heh, that's a cute concept!
I guess all the heads come from the same body?--cause I wasn't sure at first.
I notice the subtle texture you put on the creature, which I think is nice.
I'm not really sure what's happening in the background.
Is is lava? or is it the entrance to Hades, and the creature is guarding it?
I'm not sure that the two styles of the background and the creature are meshing together very well, though.
keep it up!
nice concept dude but please, for all our sakes lay off the filters. it burns.
Nice pun. heheh.Originally Posted by 'stoph.nice concept dude but please, for all our sakes lay off the filters. it burns.

Celebrity gossip websites are currently going crazy over the fact that MILEY CYRUS just chopped her hair off into a drastic, edgy pixie cut.
For real!
Apparently not satisfied with just dyeing her hair platinum blonde, the 19-year-old actress and singer decided to give herself a jaw-dropping hair makeover that has just stunned the entire world into silence.
Okay, maybe that's an overstatement. But everyone is definitely talking about it.
After posting a photo of her edgy new pixie cut on Twitter, Miley tweeted:
"Never felt more me in my whole life ❤"
She later tweeted again:
"❤❤❤ feeling so happy in my skin."
Unfortunately, not all of her fans are as happy with her new hair as she is. In fact, most were already criticizing her decision even before she posted photos of her new 'do… to which strong-willed Miley replied:
"if you don't have something nice to say don't say anything at all. my hair is attached to my head no one else's and it's going bye bye :)"
Miley continued:
"my dad @billyraycyrus used to tell me "opinions are are like ass holes every body has one" LOVE my hair ❤ feel so happy, pretty, and free"
Do you like Miley's new hair?

Jerry Jones: Jon Bon Jovi would be outstanding NFL team owner
Dallas, TX, United States (4E Sports) – Dallas Cowboys team owner Jerry Jones believes that rock star Jon Bon Jovi will make an "outstanding" NFL owner.
Jones made the pronouncement after the singer joined Larry Tanenbaum of Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment as the principal members of a Toronto group expected to bid on the Buffalo Bills, according to the Toronto Sun.
"He knows many of the owners personally. All owners know of him," Jones said of Bon Jovi. "But he knows them personally. He's committed, he's very genuine.
"You talk about individuals and talk about their qualification — there hasn't been anybody more qualified to be involved in sports ownership, or certainly ownership in the NFL, than Jon Bon Jovi," he added.
Jones declined to comment directly on the Bills' future but offered some future advise for the new owner of the Bills.
"We always ought to be looking for ways to improve not only the growing of the pie, but also growing the fan base," Jones said. "And to the extent that you can involve more fans in any team location is something to be considered."

Obama's Message: Wish for Change in One Hand...
Before I launch a rant about Mr. Obama, let me preface it by saying I live in the Chicago suburbs where Mr. Obama is from. As such, I see him on television more than the average American who doesn't live in the Chicago area. I read his editorials in the Chicago newspapers and try to keep up with the local coverage of what is going on.
Thursday was a big day for Mr. Obama, winning convincingly in Iowa. For a black man who's middle name is Hussein to win in a state that is 95% white is amazing. But there's a simple reason he won. People want change. Even most conservative Republicans realize you can only burn a country to the ground for so long before there's nothing left of value. So they want change, too. Hence, they voted for Mike Huckabee.
Obama and Huckabee have something in common: they keep saying we need change, we need change, we need change. Then they say, and Obama really digs into this, that we need to hope for a better future. But they aren't finishing the sentence. How's that old saying go? Hope for a better future in one hand and crap in the other and see which fills up first? That's all we're left with, is hope. And at this point, after listening to Obama and Huckabee, hope isn't the hand we're getting, because they aren't revealing how they will change things. They claim they would be fresh faces in Washington, but in reality they're the same ugly mugs we've grown tired off, only cleaned up and covered in fresh makeup. They have no plans, only sweet nothings to whisper in our ears.
While Huckabee comes off as a creepy sort who just looks like he's lying, Obama is a relatively likable guy. He's definitely become more polished since he burst on the scene at the 2004 Democratic Convention. The problem is, he has no message. Don't get me wrong, he has perfected a speech in the last couple of months, in an attempt to sound like he has a message. But it's hollow. "Hope." "Hope for change." "Vote for me and hope for change." "Are you ready?" "Let's change the world!" Never mind that he doesn't get into what he wants to change, or how he is going to do it. I really want to like this guy. I'd love to support him. Local guy makes good. It's a warm and fuzzy story just waiting to happen. But he doesn't give any reason to actually expect things with be different with him. He backtracks on issues, when he actually admits to having a stance. For example, when Don Imus insulted the women's basketball team, Obama wouldn't even say what Imus said was stupid, offensive, etc. He jumped on the bandwagon long after the train had left the station. I think the best parallel I can give is that W. hesitates when he speaks because he's waiting for Karl Rove to tell him what to say, but Obama hesitates because he's waiting for someone else to write his policy.
Yet their competition is even worse. Hillary keeps repeating her catch phrase of "change" over and over, hoping it sticks somewhere. The problem is, unless you're brain dead, all you have to do to know she's not buying into it is listen to her. Watch her. She's lying through her teeth. She's a third-rate actor in an Ed Wood film that can't even deliver her lines without revealing her disgust for the script. I can't buy into what she's selling. I can't buy into her claim that her motivation is to help our country. She's just another lying whore trying to get into the oval office. No disrespect to women intended, because her male counterparts are every bit the whores as well. They all say what they think we want to hear, and then top off their campaigns with "who is the bigger asshole," a game which had it's moment of Nirvana earlier this week when Huckabee called a press conference to say he wasn't going to run his new commercial attacking Romney because it was too negative, and then he proceeded to play the commercial for the gathered media. We can't confirm that Huckabee claimed Romney chokes a dozen kittens every morning before breakfast, or that he participates in Satanic orgies the third Wednesday of every month, but Romney has admitted to strapping his family dog to the roof of his car and taking 12 hour drives on the interstate.
Lost amid the finger pointing and hope wishing is that the candidates carefully avoid the land mines of actual issues and plans. Nobody wants to actually accomplish anything, they just want the fame and fortune of being President and lining the pockets of their friends, like W. has spent 8 years perfecting.
Insurance for poor kids? Screw that! Let's give my friends at Halliburton hundreds of millions of dollars to not do anything instead! What's that? You can't afford health insurance? Well, have we got a fine for you! You'll learn your lesson sooner or later. Work, spend, repeat. Don't ask questions. Don't pay attention. Just move along.
Don't mind me, I'm just a little pissed that the only candidates who are actually talking about sensible, concrete change for the better (Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich) didn't fare so well.
There have always been two sets of rules. One for the rich, and one for the rest of us. I'm just having a problem because the rules were never left out for everyone to see like they are now. It's kind of like public fornication, only not only are we watching what is going on, we're also the ones getting...

The AA has revealed that over £100 million was wasted last year by people who did not have adequate annual breakdown cover when they needed it the most.
During the economic downturn it would seem that one area where people have tightened their belts is on the cost of motoring. One way to do that is to risk a breakdown without taking out car rescue cover. But, is it wise to do so?
The AA figures show that it is very important not to scrimp and save on your annual breakdown cover because the actual costs involved should you need to call someone out and pay for it yourself could be far, far higher and come at a time when you just don't have the cash to pay.
Over 2 million people suffered the agony of breakdowns without cover last year and had to shell out an average of £100 to call out a garage to assist them. In many cases the individual costs where much higher than that if the vehicle could not be fixed on the spot and had to be recovered. And, since some annual breakdown cover starts out at less than £20 a month, it would seem to be a completely false economy to try save money and put your car at risk by not having some form of breakdown cover.
So, don't leave yourself stuck at the side of the road when there is so much cheap car rescue assistance available. On our website you can compare the best value deals from a range of breakdown providers selling annual breakdown cover or even joint breakdown cover.
Take out some annual breakdown cover today and put your mind at rest!

Is the language we use perpetuating the racial divide?
When I started working at the University I was asked, "Who do you relate to?" I answered unawares of their intention, "My wife." To which there was a pause... an irritated pause... ,"No, What race do you identify with?" Response, "The human race."
This only provides a small example into the plethora of ways that language contributes to how we perceive ourselves and others. This example illustrates how language shapes identity or at least perceived identity and its association with our race. It gives clues to how society contributes to a divide that no longer should exist. I believe that we can move beyond defining ourselves through race. We can rebuild ourselves through language and allow growth to truly take place.
Perhaps then a lack of opportunities wouldn't be presented as a racial issue but an economic issue, perhaps stereotypes would disappear and we would be able to characterize each other based on work ethic not racial stigmas, Perhaps we would be able to address the social issues from a less jaded perspective. Maybe now is the time that we stop making up for our ancestors mistakes and start working together as true equals.

Elizabeth Gu 30+Jun 27 2013: As long as the language you're talking about doesn't define in the partial ways, yeah.
Needless to say, language helps form ideas called 'thoughts' and communicate with others logically, effectively and profoundly—depending on how you use it.
Language affects us a lot more than we think.
If we can use it in proper (or more innovational(?)) ways to get rid of the barrier called 'racial divide—to quote', it would be not only an awesome tool, but also a huge change throughout the world.
It all depends on 'how' you use your language with less partial definite expressions.
Elizabeth Gu 30+Jun 28 2013: I thought being specific would rather make it sound just…. specific..lol
for instance, with a little discretion and sensitivity, anyone can at least avoid being called a racist.
Like I said before, "Language affects us a lot more than we think."
Even if you don't really mean to make prejudiced or partial expressions with what you think about something, others could take it really seriously or in a different way.
(Btw, considering…this, comedians are so clever..)
Simply considering consequences wouldn't hurt.
(I'm not sure this example gives you any clarity of what I wrote above.
It might just sound like some sort of an easy(well, not easy)-way-out. )
But see above 'pat gilbert's comment.
"Give the racism thing a rest."
Doesn't he sound like he's fed up with even a word of 'race'?
I totally understand what he meant by that.
But it also reminds me of the fact that quite many people are get tired of hearing debates on sensitive issues like 'racism' while not even making an effort to avoid making that kind of issues, you know what I mean?
The language we use can perpetuate the 'racial divide' unless we unconsciously make that sensitive, yet invisible barrier solid.
Jun 28 2013: Re: "Doesn't he sound like he's fed up with even a word of 'race'?
I totally understand what he meant by that."
I agree. We know we don't have a problem when we don't even know that this is a problem. So, as long as we keep saying 'race', 'race', we know we have an issue. So, we shouldn't have these discussions UNLESS we do have an issue.
Jun 29 2013: Barry, Sean, Elizabeth, Joshua, Fritzie, and Arkady,
I like this train of thought too! I believe there still is a racial issue for many people, and I also believe that more and more people all the time are making an attempt to understand and accept people of different cultures. I agree with Elizabeth... "Language affects us a lot more than we think.". If we become more aware of language and how we are using it, perhaps it would not cause as much of a racial divide?

There's been so many Harlem Shake videos made around the world in the past two weeks, it's frankly a shock I haven't accidentally wandered into the filming of one of them.
The backstory: Last summer, a New York electronic producer called Baauer released a track called Harlem Shake, the title of which was inspired by a dance move which featured in a lot of mid-'90s R&B and rap videos where the dancer's limbs looks like wobbling jelly. Baauer's track became reasonably well-known over the last eight months or so until, inexplicably at the start of February, the video meme based on it exploded.
The Makers Studios office version:
The formula for the meme is simple which no doubt helped it spread quickly. One person dances to the first half of the video in a public place while their co-conspirators nonchalantly get on with their day. Then, the beat drops and the video cuts to a scene of loads of people going completely nuts to the song.
The original by vlogger Filthy Frank:
It all started with vlogger Filthy Frank who made one in his college dorm room. From there it spread to offices, TV show studios, musicians, military academies, gigs and the top deck of a bus in Dublin. As of February 14th, up to 40,000 different versions of the meme were uploaded to Youtube with a combined total of 173 million views.
Matt & Kim version:
With so many different versions, it's impossible to keep track of them all but the Tumblr features some of the best. My personal favourites include the versions by T-Pain, the Sea World Trainers and their seals, Matt & Kim's live gig freakout, the Makers Studio widescreen office version, the Norwegian Army in the snow and the ADHD '90s Cartoon version. The Dublin Bus version with the guy poring the Coke over himself has been the Irish highlight.
The Dublin bus version:
Bauuer's track has jumped back up into iTunes downloads charts and Diplo's label who released the track, Mad Decent say it's the the biggest thing they've ever released. And it shows no signs of stopping this week. You may know it's over when your boss sends a mail around the office requesting mandatory attendance to "boost morale with a bit of fun on a Friday."

I really happy right as I finally found
Marble Cleaning Cherry Hill NJ , or stumbled upon rather, what must be the perfect gambling site with the most I've ever tried so far. Yeah, it really is that good and I need to look no further for top-notch slots action you know and that… well that's something. Too bad that it took me this long though. I've been playing slots, black and similar games online for many years now and while most sites are quite good none them come even close to the one I just found. It's called excellentslots.com, a very appropriate name if there ever were one, I'll say. I do spend a whole many hours playing these slots right now, which is not a problem in any respect though as I have a lot of time on my hands for the time being luckily. But that's not going to last forever. I know that.
I work a lot these days. Perhaps I'm pushing myself to the nuthouse. I can't let that happen to me.

How to buikld an improv troupe - yes, and?
August 13, 2012
I am trying to form an improv practice group that will become (I hope) a performance group. I need tips across the board - how do we find rehearsal space for free/cheap, how do we run our practice sessions, how do we make the leap from practice to performance? What other questions am I not even thinking to ask?
About a year ago I took my first improv class through a local group and was hooked. I've just finished my 3rd 8 week class with them. All 3 classes were level 1, but had variety from different classmates and two different teachers. I've also taken an 8 hour intensive with the same folks. They're looking at offering an advanced class this fall which I'll take, and I'll be doing 5 weeks of drop in sessions with a completely different group. I've performed 4 times- one graduation show for each class.
What I really want is to do improv every week with cool people, and not have to worry about when a class session is over, or working with people who make me crazy. I've reached out to people from my classes and the intensive, and there's 7 of us who are interested in meeting. Yay! All 7 of us have at least the intensive or one 8 week class as experience, and most of us have more, but no one has a ton of experience. BTW, we're a short form group; I don't know that any of us have any long form experience at all.
- How do we find free or cheap rehearsal space? Where should we look? We can probably use my church basement once a month, but need space for the other 3 weeks.
- None of us have run a troupe. How do we manage that part, and getting more done in our rehearsal time than just playing, fun as it is? It would be good to have someone coaching, but I'm not sure if we should try to get someone experienced, take turns doing it ourselves, or what?
- We have a standing invite to open for the troupe I took classes from once we're ready for that. My teachers know I'm trying to get a group going. How did you know you were ready?
tl;dr: Give me your personal experiences and suggestions for getting an improv troupe up and running, both the practical and performance sides. What worked, what didn't, what would you do differently?
EXTRA CREDIT: free spaces in suburban central NJ to rehearse.

You're probably not going to get better without the guidance/instruction/leadership of at least one experienced person. (Generally, at each level of classes you learn a different technique or aspect of improvisational story telling - defining relationships, defining an environment, creating a story, etc). You're probably going to get bored/frustrated without learning those additional skills.
Most improv teachers are poor struggling actors. I think your first step may be to put an add on craigslist (or wherever) looking for an instructor. If your group can agree to each throw 5 bucks into a pot each week, you could probably get someone to agree to be your own 'private' teacher.

The biggest place I was able to find for space was a room in the "community resource center" building of our library. It's no where near the rest if the library and rooms in it are pretty sound insulated. I don't know if most places have something like this in addition to the normal conference rooms. Also ours didn't allow for profit ventures, but we weren't planning on performing as a group.
If any of you are college students than booking a room there should be easy. We've made due with community rooms as part of people's apartment complexes, people's living rooms, and are planning on using someone's racketball court.
I've only done stuff as part of normally established classes and with super casual folks, so I can't offer much advice beyond possible space.

I've formed a theatre group back in the day on the cheap by becoming a student club at the local postsecondary institution; loads of free club space, anytime we needed it.
For ongoing practice space, you don't need a whole lot of room; a living room with the furniture pushed to the side would work, as long as it didn't have thin walls and sharp-eared neighbours.
As far as knowing you're ready, I'd say figure out when the scenes pretty well always click. When the awkwardness of not knowing what to do fades away. At that point, you should have been performing for a month already. Practice is great, but there's no substitute for gameday. (As long as you are reasonably entertaining and don't step on the toes of the troupe you are opening for, they're probably glad to have another 20 minutes of performance, for free, that makes them look good.)

I've formed a literal ton of improv groups. Welcome! Here are some thoughts:
*Cheap rehearsal space: Have you asked the other members of the group if they have something like your church basement? You'd need only 3 of them to come through monthly for space to be fully booked. Failing that, do any of you have a living room that's decently sized or a garage, and roommates that don't mind?
*Running a troupe: I think it best to have a coach. A good coach will keep you guys on task, help you define your brand of humor as you go forward, and serve as the eyes of someone watching, without being too invested, if that makes sense. The going rate for a coach in NYC (where I am) is around $20-30 an hour, not sure what it'd be in your neck of the woods, but if you like the guy you took classes from, most teachers coach (same way many academic teachers do tutoring).
*When are you ready? There's no real rule of thumb, and to an extent it's also dependent on the show. Are you ready for Second City's mainstage? Well, no. Are you ready for the back of a bar with a few other groups of various levels of experience that's more people hanging out and having a good time with a show sorta going on? Possibly. You'll know more after you start rehearsing and feel the vibe of the group. It's like having a kid. You're never Ready, but can be prepared, and knowing when you are prepared enough is basically up to the group.
Which brings me to some other things to consider:
*Dues. If there are costs associated with the group (rehearsal spaces, coaching fees, etc) you may want to enact a policy of everyone paying in advance for the month. This makes things a little easier, as no one is standing there at the end of rehearsal trying to do math while the coach is standing around waiting to get paid. It also means that people don't have to carry someone's share if they're missing on a given week. At the same time, it can be a pain in the ass for whomever is administering it.
*From personal experience: Take your group seriously, people are investing time and money in it. But! Not too seriously. This is your first group, and if you stick with improv it'll be a fond memory someday, probably reasonably soon. Try to act in ways that keep it a fond memory, and don't worry too much about it being the thing that makes you a success as an improviser or performer. I didn't have as much fun as I could have with early groups I was in, and I really regret it. I was too focused on whether or not we were Doing The Right Thing, or Respecting The Form, or whatever manifestoish thing was in my mind at the time. This isn't to say that certain things aren't very important (giving your audience the best show you can, being cool to your co-performers onstage and off), but it is to say that this will be a process of years if you stick with it, and it's best if it's also fun.
*Stretch your legs if you can afford to do so. You're in Jersey which means you're close to one of the improv hubs, NYC. If you can get out to Chicago and see some of what they do, all the better. Boston and Philly have scenes with great people working in them. Seeing shows in any of these places would be great. Most teachers and performers in those cities will coach or run a workshop for you if you can pay. If you'd like some recommendations, feel free to memail me.

Oh, don't I know it! I've peeked at the class lists at PIT and UCB and Magnet more than once... But I work until 6:30 most nights, and those classes are twice what I pay locally, not including commuting costs. I'm thinking of keeping an eye out for an intensive next summer. I have someone in Manhattan I could stay with, so a week-long intensive class is far more doable for me. One of my teachers plays and teaches at PHIT, I may check them out as well.
Also, and it probably shouldn't matter, but... I'm 43. The good people around me (including my teachers) are in their mid-late 20s, and have a lot of improv experience on me, not to mention faster bodies and brains. I have this image of the NYC classes filled with people much younger than me...
Plus, I was at the South Jersey Comedy Festival this past weekend and saw long form for the first time, and now the universe has just gotten way bigger and I see how much more I have to learn. Scary and exciting, simultaneously. At some point I'll have to bite the bullet and visit a bigger pond. In the meantime, I'm trying to make my little pond a little bigger. :)
Mostly I just can't imagine a life without improv in it now, and want to make sure I have people to play with and a place to play, the chance to perform for an audience and the resources to improve. I know that improv makes me happy and makes me a better person.
And I want to not be intimidated by gibberish. :)

Well, all that's great, and you seem to have a good sense of everything in its time. The only thing I'd say is that I wouldn't worry too much about your age. I'm 34, and I know a bunch of guys and gals in the scene around here who are older than me. If you want to say hi, let me know if you're going to be around New York.

No offense to short form, but if you're at all interested in long form, I'd definitely spend the money/time to do classes at UCB/Magnet/PIT. The difference is huge and the thrills you get from short form will be retained in long form and then some.
Don't let age intimidate you, there's a lot of variety.
I know more about UCB, so regarding there: there's weekend classes you might consider. I'm an instructor there and recently I've had multiple people who commute to and from Boston/Philly/DC. So people do it.
I believe the instruction at any of the NYC theaters will be vastly superior to anywhere else, and I'd stack it against Chicago or LA as well. NYC is simply the top improv city in the US, along with Chicago and LA.
For practice groups, finding likeminded people, etc. also check out the Improv Resource Center:
I bet there's a fair amount of people who've trained in NYC that are in NJ and would be a good starting place for you.

With all my troupes I've found using someone's house (rotating) works great - the 'host' is responsible for providing a light snack for after rehearsal and you all get some bonding time together. A basement, backyard, living room - you really don't need that much space. This coming from someone who was part of a 10-woman improv troupe! People who live far out or in tiny, roommate-filled apartments can use their week as a fun one-off (improv in the park! improv at the beach! improv in a church! improv in the community centre!). Pick a set time and day that you will meet. Whoever is hosting is responsible for ensuring the space is ready for use and everyone knows how to get there.
You don't need experience - you will gain it together. Consider approaching someone on a team you like and asking them to be your coach. Everyone chips in, say, 2 bucks each rehearsal towards their pay. You want someone good who you can learn from. I don't recommend trying to run rehearsal yourselves.
Perform often and regularly (have a monthly show somewhere where your friends can come out, like the upstairs or basement of a bar).
The main frustrations are going to be people dropping out/missing/being late. Try to focus on having a good time and an enthusiastic attitude. If you're having a lot of fun no one will be late because they don't want to miss anything. If you're having a lot of fun people will rearrange their schedules to accommodate the team, not the other way around.
Ignore drama/personal bullshit and make the errant parties deal with it themselves like grown ups.

Model Number:
Basic in appearance, unparalleled in comfort, the Asics Thermopolis LT Tight has a soft, sueded jersey fabric to keep you running even when the weather is harsh.
Important Shipping Note: U.S. sales only.
Comments: Warm but not hot, easy on-off and a nice comfy feel. Mine are good quality and zippers holding up fine. Also as the other reviewer noted these have a 'suede' finish, which is not 'shiny' like a lot of tights. I like it ..I think it minimizes the bulges and jiggles that make you a little hesitant about tights at all. I'm 6-2/175 and L fits nicely. Not much compression, fyi -- these are more of a hybrid tight-legging, at least on my frame. I wear compression shorts underneath and all's well. No gel pockets is a bit of a bummer for long runs, but I'd buy again b/c I love running in them. From: William, Atlanta, GA, USA
Comments: I got these, but unfortunately the leg zipper broke and doesn't zip close at all anymore and now I can't really use these anymore because it just flaps open when I'm trying to run. So based on this experience, I wouldn't buy these again and I think these are overpriced. There are some higher quality tights for similar prices. Check out Sugoi, 2XU, and Mizuno, for example. From: Rich, Freehold, NJ, USA
Comments: As temps dip, these tights are keeping my legs warm. I've taken them on a few 10 milers in cold rain and flurries. I'm not crazy about the "suede" exterior, but at the end of a run I am dry, warm, and happy. A great buy. From: Al, WI, USA
Please include any relevant information such as weekly mileage, training or race pace, or foot type.
