TUPELO – Improving customer service, increasing ways Tupelo government helps small businesses, revitalizing neighborhoods and keeping more residents informed with decisions impacting their lives are now all priorities for the city's elected officials.
Those decisions were set on Saturday during a goal-setting session between Tupelo City Council members and Mayor Jason Shelton. The leaders laid the groundwork for the next four years of improving the community for current residents and encouraging others to move in.
City leaders said the gathering achieved more than just allowing them to set goals together for the next four years and beyond. Away from tense budget discussions and regular city council meetings, they had a change to hear what each others values the most.
Outside of the retreat, Shelton faces opposition from a City Council majority on his idea to create an in-house city attorney. He said the retreat helped distance him and others from issues that separate and focus on shared priorities.
"We might not always agree on what should be done, but every person in that room cares deeply about the city of Tupelo and bettering our city," Shelton said after the retreat. "I think one of the benefits of the retreat is developing ways to communicate with each other and get an idea of what each member is passionate about."
The goal discussion follows up the two-day retreat last month at Tombigbee State Park. Saturday's meeting at Itawamba Community College's new health building in Tupelo included all city elected officials except Ward 6 Councilman Mike Bryan, who also missed most of one of the days during the August retreat.
Shelton campaigned earlier this year on attracting more younger, middle-income residents to the city while retaining existing residents. He said each goal agreed on during the weekend fits into his overall desire to help the city's population grow.
Ward 2 Councilman Lynn Bryan said he found benefit in city leaders finding common ground on "fundamental" concerns facing the city. Common themes from the meeting included improving the local government's responsiveness toward constituents through better customer service such as more communication, a more conciliatory approach and accountability.
"If you have a constituent with legitimate complaints and they're getting ignored, they're either going think the city isn't responsive or consider moving somewhere else," Bryan said.
Ward 7 Councilman Willie Jennings left the retreat with optimism that more attention will focus on revitalization of city neighborhoods beyond the current West Jackson Street project, a nearly $3 million redevelopment effort.
"I want to concentrate more on neighborhoods and be more proactive," Jennings said. "I want to find out what can we do to keep people from moving."
Jennings, Bryan and other council members said the city should begin to prioritize neighborhoods for future redevelopment efforts, aiming for the city to invest resources in them before the West Jackson Street project ends.
Not all of the ideas involved long-term and significant use of taxpayer dollars. Ward 5 Councilman Buddy Palmer suggested opening the front entrance to City Hall and placing someone near the entrances to direct visitors to the appropriate office.
City Hall's front entrance closed a few years ago after someone entered the building with a gun. Afterward, a metal detector and a police officer now greet visitors at the back entrance to the building.
"That's a pretty immediate goal we can take care of," Palmer said.
Another goal is building a new police station during the current four-year term. City leaders said they will continue to refine goals and look at ways to achieve them.
Staff at Mississippi State University's Stennis Institute will likely revisit the group in a year to check on success toward reaching its goals.

Cardinals at Patriots: 5 keys, prediction
FOXBOROUGH – Gorgeous day for football. Here are my five keys for the Patriots against the Cardinals today, with my prediction down below.
- Control DT Darnell Dockett: The Cardinals have some talented defenders, but Dockett makes everything go. The Patriots have to control him at the line or else Dockett will open opportunities for other players. Hopefully we get a Logan Mankins-Dockett matchup most of the game. That would be be fun. I would expect the Patriots to give Mankins help because he is not moving as well from before his knee problems.
- Hit QB Kevin Kolb early: The book on Kolb is you hit him in the mouth early and he's done for the game. He'll look at the rush instead of down the field, and when a QB does that, he'll be useless. The Cardinals' line is subpar. Unless he gets chipped all day, DE Chandler Jones should have four sacks against journeyman LT D'Anthony Batiste. Actually, the entire Cardinals line save LG Daryn Colledge is below average. They can't pass block, and couldn't run block against the Seahawks either.
- Double WR Larry Fitzgerald: The only offensive player that is a threat for the Cardinals is the exquisite Fitzgerald. So roll a safety over the top of him and make Kolb beat you with three average tight ends, and two receivers (Early Doucet and Michael Floyd) who haven't done much. The Cardinals will use Andre Roberts in a bunch of ways, and he has some skills, but he can be managed.
- Manage PR Patrick Peterson: Peterson, the CB, is a terrific punt returner. Patriots punter Zoltan Mesko needs to angle his kicks and have a good hangtime so the Patriots can cover well. Or just kick it out of bounds.
- Have an answer for press coverage: The Cardinals' run the same defensive scheme as the Steelers. Even Dick LeBeau realized last season that playing zone blitz against Tom Brady is a losing proposition. So he changed up, and played all man to man. The Patriots had no answer. They better have one for this game, because Cardinals defensive coordinator Ray Horton is a LeBeau disciple and probably took a lot of notes on that game. The Cardinals can matchup decently well with the Patriots in man coverage. Also expect the Patriots to run a lot of misdirection, both in the run and pass game to make the Cardinals' speed on defense work against them.
The Patriots will have a few struggles on offense against a good, solid Cardinals scheme. However, I have a hard time seeing how the Cardinals move the ball at all on offense. They can't run the ball. Fitzgerald is the only legit threat on offense. The Patriots should be able to manhandle the Cardinals' line up front. That adds up to a big, easy win.

EALL Talk Series
November 15, 3:00pm - 4:00pmMānoa Campus, Moore 258
Rewriting Medieval Japanese Women
Patronage and Literary Production in the Life of Nun Abutsu
by Christina Laffin (Associate Professor of the University of British Columbia)
Friday, November 15, 2013 3:00-4:00 p.m.
Moore 258
This lecture will consider what we know about Japanese noblewomen of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries and introduce future avenues for research. Rewriting Medieval Japanese Women: Politics, Personality, and Literary Production in the Life of Nun Abutsu (Hawai'i, 2013) argues that Kamakura-period (1185-1336) court women continued to produce memoirs, tales, poetry, poetic commentary, courtly advice, and epistolary literature and shows how these activities were impacted by shifts in the literary and socio-historical landscape.
In this talk, Laffin will demonstrate what can be gleaned from the life and literary works of one woman,
Nun Abutsu (1225-1283, 阿仏尼) while expanding these findings and their implications for literary study and women's history. What can we learn about the status of women, institutional history, and literary patronage based on the extant writings of medieval women? How were women involved in artistic, literary, and religious patronage? Laffin will suggest ways in which our approaches to the study of medieval Japanese literature and women's writings must be adapted to better encompass the range of works and lives represented.
Christina Laffin is an Associate Professor and the Canada Research Chair in Premodern Japanese Literature and Culture at the University of British Columbia. She has recently published Rewriting Medieval Japanese Women (2013) and is currently researching women's education, physical mobility, and the role of wet nurses in twelfth to fourteenth-century Japan. Other publications include The Noh Ominameshi (co-editor, 2003) and Gender and Japanese History (managing editor, 1999).

Lobby was nice Bathroom was decent I had a reservation for two queen beds. When I showed up, they gave me a room with one king bed and a fold-out couch. When I returned to the front desk, they told me that was all they had and could not offer anything else, and insisted that my reservation was for one king bed, even though I provided them a printout showing it was two queens. This was all quite embarrassing, as I am sure my colleague was negatively judging my choice in hotel. After being rejected on the front desk and resigning ourselves to the room, we discovered a pile of peanuts under the fold-out couch, and also that no bedding for the couch had been provided anywhere in the room, which required another call to the front desk. The mattress was extremely thin and uncomfortable and the sheets and blanket were thin and threadbare. The carpet had a number of disturbing red stains on it, and the advertised "city view" was of some railroad tracks, dumpsters, and a muffler shop. The walls are thin and the hallways were loud. The wifi was also extremely slow.
The staff, especially Ashli made me feel right at home with my stay. The grounds and facilities were always squared away. The room layout is a bit awkward with the large screen TV occupying the desk area. If you wanted/needed to sit at the desk and have the TV on, you may develop a strong headache from being so close.
We needed a hotel close to Methodist Hospital. This suited our needs. The front desk staff was especially helpful. The room service was surprisingly good. It is probably the noisiest hotel I have ever stayed in. Lots of noise from the hallway, and I could actually hear the entire conversations of the people in the room next to me.

Israel-Palestine-Jordan |
Gazans agree to conditional cease-fire, fire 2 more rockets |
2012-11-13 |
[JPost] Palestinian terrorist factions in the Gaza Strip agreed to an informal, and apparently unilateral cease-fire with Israel on Monday night, but said it depends on "Israeli aggression," Palestinian news agencies reported. The report comes at the end of a day that saw over 20 rockets fired into Israel, injuring four people. Hamas called the meeting of the various factions in order to avoid further Palestinian casualties, Bethlehem-based Ma'an news agency reported, citing a DFLP leader. Six Palestinians were killed in Israeli strikes since the weekend, two of whom were terrorists. A Hamas statement from the meeting said that its activities "depend on the continuation of the Israeli aggression." Soon after the meeting, however, Gazans fired two additional rockets at Sderot. The rockets exploded in an empty field, causing no damages or injuries. Palestinian terrorists in the Gaza Strip fired some 20 rockets and mortars into southern Israel since midnight Sunday, injuring four people, with 43 others suffering from shock. |

Microsoft Acquires VoIP Company
Microsoft has acquired San Francisco based Teleo, a developer of VoIP, PSTN termination and click to call functionality.
The deal accelerates Microsoft's VoIP capabilities and sets the stage for a fall showdown in the VoIP over IM space as AOL and Yahoo! ramp to launch their respective services as well.
Teleo's VoIP products allow for PC to PC calls as well as PC to PSTN "They were doing a lot of things that we found interesting in terms of
helping us accelerate the time frame of us being able to bring new things to
market for customers," Brooke Richardson, lead product manager for MSN, told internetnews.com.
Richardson explained that the live enabling search links could allow a
user to do a local search for a pizza parlor and get a live
link that allows users to call via PC to PSTN.
Teleo existing client currently makes use of the Global IP Sound (GIPS)
VoIP codec, which is also currently being used by Skype, among others. The
current Teleo client is also SIP based, which is an open standard that is
rapidly becoming a standard for VoIP communications.
also uses SIP for its PC-to-PC calling. Skype uses its own propriety
Microsoft's MSN Messenger at one point actually had PC to PSTN
connectivity, but the service was rolled back.
"We have been looking at a reproach in terms of how we were going
to bring that technology to the next level," Richardson said.
"In terms of accelerating out time to market and innovating more quickly
the buy decision made a lot of sense especially given the synergies with
what they are doing and what we were looking to do," Richardson added.
"We're going to continue to invest in VoIP. Our goal is
to have some of this technology integrated by later this year so that we can
be testing it later this year. We'll have more to talk about this fall."
Microsoft recently improved its MSN Messenger client's voice quality in the 7.5 release
, which itself benefited from Microsoft strong voice and video push in
The fall is likely to be a highly competitive time for the VoIP over IM
AOL is widely expected to release it newest IM client, code named Triton
this fall as well, which will also have dramatically improved VoIP
capabilities. Yahoo! in June acquired VoIP to PSTN play Dialpad
Communications and is also expected to be rolling those features into its
IM client which has recently been renamed Yahoo! Messenger with Voice.
Financial terms of the deal, which closed this week, were not disclosed. Microsoft has indicated that the Teleo executive team and some of the development team will continue to work with Microsoft.

Uncertainty, probabilistic physics, complementarity, the problematic character of measurement, and decoherence are among the many topics discussed. This volume offers the reader access to one of the greatest discoveries in the history of physics and one of the outstanding intellectual achievements of the 20th century.
In a hurry? Listen to more Very Short Introductions.
©2002 Oxford University Press; (P)2009 Audible, Inc.
"Makes it easier to understand other QM books"
As a non-scientist, and after reading many books on quantum mechanics over a period of years, I appreciated this book for its concise explanation of the different elements of Quantum theory and how they arose.
Because the author did not go into much detail about the Physicists themselves or their lives, but instead stuck to explaining the discoveries and how they fit together in simple ways, I found myself able to grasp and retain much of the larger picture, and understand some of the ideas that had puzzled me, such as quantum decoherence.
Likewise, the presentation of quantum superposition was presented in such a way that gave me more insight into its possibilities.
Also, I never realized the role that Paul Dirac played in the birth of quantum field theory, and I have decided to read some of Dirac's writings.
I listened to this book on audio format at 1.5 times normal speed, which did not seem too fast to grasp the contents. At 1.5x, it took about 2 hours to get through the book. I plan to listen to it again immediately, before going back to other books for review and deeper understanding. Then I will look for more books on this topic to continue to increase my understanding.
This book is not the most comprehensive book on the topic by any means, but after having read it I feel better prepared to continue on with my understanding of quantum theories.
While quantum theory fascinates me, I also like to write Science Fiction, and I look for ways to employ quantum concepts in my writing in a way that is sub-textual rather than expository. (i.e.: Follow the show-don't-tell rule.) I feel that it is worth understanding how the fabric of reality works and integrating it in hopefully subtle ways with human story lines, and not burden readers with concepts and facts.
That is another reason I appreciate the simplicity and straightforwardness of this book.
"A Good Overall Review"
Briefly hits the major points from Planck to Heisenberg to EPR and entanglement to particle physics and a little on interpretations.
I focus on fiction, sci-fi, fantasy, science, history, politics and read a lot. I try to review everything I read.
"OK but there are better"
The reader is clear, but the vocal pacing somewhat stilted. This is a reasonable Very Short Introduction to Quantum Theory. There are much better technical descriptions, much better histories, and much better popular introductions.

text: Hello everyone, My question is what happens after the deposition? I live in the state of La. I had this done on 04/02 as usual the lawyer tried to trip me up on some questions but every time he got the same answer, wanting to know if I have worked since my injury and am I able to work, have I turned down any jobs like I told him I applied for the jobs @ voc rehab and had no responses and the one response I did get they had no position for me. I only applied because I knew no one would call and to not give them anything to go on. But back to the question at hand the ins co has until 04/21 to deciede whether or not they want to go to trial so does anyone think it lightly that they will want to settle my case without going to trial? and if so how long does it usually take to get a settlement?

A meeting with an old friend leads to nasty sex!!!
a story about
Sweet Mindy
(My Blonde MILF Hottie)
Part 1
She was standing in line at the Deli, the cutest blonde hardbody I'd seen in a while, with
an ass made for fucking and big nippled ripe titties, she was a horny studs's wet and sticky dream.
She was dressed in a long wrap around skirt, slit down the side to show some skin and a tight pink
sweater. "Way to classy a chick to try to bag with a little conversasion and some dope," I thought
to myself while imagining what her tight little snatch would taste like. "You don't remember me do
you," I heard a soft female voice say. My eyes rose from the girls pussy and past her tits before
my eyes met hers. "No I don't," I replied, wondering if I had bagged this bitch at some past
fuckfest and couldn't remember. "I think I would remember a fine woman like you," I said curiously.
"I'm Mindy, Carlos's wife, remember?" Fuck Yeah I thought as my cock started to stiffen. "How have
you been, how's Carlos and the kid's?", I said hoping she hadn't seen me staring at her pussy or my
semi-hard cock outlined in my pants. "Not so good", she said as her eyes scanned me up and down,
stopping at my swelling crotch. "We seperated about two months ago, when I caught him fucking
some slut," she said matter of factly. "I took Carlos Jr., our son and my new born baby and left."
I smiled at the hot looking bitch, knowing that she would be craving some dick after two
months of no fucking. Being a tit man, I was suprised I hadn't ever noticed her titties big fat
nipples. Then it dawned on me... she said she had a new baby which meant one thing, I smiled to
myself...fresh milk. This was an exciting XXX bonus my perverted mind wasn't expecting! I loved
to milk a new horny Mom's squirting tits on my face, on my prick, and in my sucking mouth. I knew I
had to have some of Mindy's hot pussy and I wasn't going to let her hot ass get away. To my suprise
she smiled sweetly at me and asked in a soft sexy voice, "If your not busy Saturday, I'd love to
have you over for a visit to talk about old times." "And talk about Carlos?" I said. "No, I have
other things I want to show and tell you," she teased while looking into my horny brown eyes.
"I'll be there," I said, "How about around eight." As we talked I started to recall how hot and
sexy this little nymph could look and how I had thought about fucking her while jacking off many
times, long ago. I remembered Carlos saying she hadn't fucked before Carlos, so her pussy was sure
to be a tight little fuck hole. "Eight sounds great," she said "Here's the address." She scribbled
the info on a napkin and gave it to me, "Bye, I can't wait!" she said, and with that she gave me a
sexy smile, and a quick hug before leaving.
I thought that Saturday would never arrive, the anticipation of using sweet assed Mindy as
my personal fuck toy made the wait unbearable. Finally the time arrived and I was ready to go see
my MILF with the lactating tits. I was clean shaven on my face and my big balls, and I decided not
to wear underwear under my tight fitting Levi's. I wore a tight tee shirt and finished it off with
a little bling just to show off and add a little sex appeal and help seal the deal of getting in
this hot little sluts panties. I arrived at Mindy's place a little after eight and knocked on the
little bitches door. Nothing could have prepared me for what answered the door, or for the events
that were about to take place. Mindy stood in the doorway in a thin white lace see-thru blouse that
clearly showed off her milk engorged tits and fat pink nipples, along with a super short black mini
skirt that was way to small by any standard. After a quick glance over from her long smooth legs up
to her silky long blonde hair, I managed to pull my eyes to her's.
I greeted the ready to fuck slut with a warm smile, a cheerful hello and a throbbing cock
pulsating under the tight denim jeans I had worn. It was obvious this cunt needed some dick, and
that she had dressed to please and arouse me into wanting to fuck her hot little pussy. It had
worked... and I began to follow her inside, checking out her ass and imagining what it would feel
like with my fat cock buried deep in her tight pink asshole. Her ass moved side to side with every
step she took in her high heels, the tiny skirt exposing the bottom of her round ass cheeks with
every sexy step. While leading me towards the couch, Mindy asked me if I wanted something to drink
and went to the kitchen to get a couple of beers. "Where's the baby?" I asked, to which the horny
little MILF replied, "I just got done giving him his breast feeding, and putting him to bed." With
that she handed me a beer and sat down right next to me, making her skirt rise up to show off her
sexy g-string. Her legs were long and tan all the way up to her recently exposed tiny panties, her
crotch shamelessly on display. When I looked at the fine piece of ass next to me, she was smiling
at me like a horny bitch in heat.
"So, how have you been?" I asked, while looking at her hot milk filled tits, begging from
under her see thru top to be fucked and sucked by some big cock. "I've been so lonely," the blonde
replied rubbing up against me, "That's why I'm so glad to see you." She started to rub my leg and
layed her head on my shoulder, playfully letting her long blonde hair fall across me as her low cut
top gave me a great shot of the big titted cunts deep cleavage. "I always thought you were such a
cool person, and how if I wasn't with Carlos, we might have hooked up," Mindy said in almost a
whisper. "I thought about how hot you looked, and how lucky he was to be fucking you," I said while
moving her hand from my thigh to my pulsating rock hard cock. She lifted her head and smiled at me,
then looked down at my big dick trying to break out of my tight pants. "I'm so glad you came over,"
she cooed as the cock lover started to stroke my hard-on. "Yeah me too, you know when I wanted
something to drink, I didn't mean beer," I said. "What did you want, you fuckn' stud?" the big
titted bitch asked, rubbing my fat dick faster. I grabbed the bottom of her thin little top and
lifted it up over the cum sluts milk filled tits, and started tweaking her fat pink nipples. "I
want some of that sweet milk from your big fat titties...fuck yeah, I bet you like it when guys
suck milk from your big hard nipples, don't you?" I teased. "Fuck you got nice tits baby," I
said cupping a tit in each hand while admiring their size and weight. "You like it when guys do
nasty things to your big fuckn' tits, don't you, you fuckn' hot little thing," I said roughly
while continuing to amuse myself with Mindy's more than ample chest.
Without waiting for an answer, I began sucking on her nipples while I moved my hand to
her pantied crotch, bringing a moan from the hot to fuck slut. The little blondes snatch was red
hot and ready for dick, making her tiny g-string panties wet to my touch. As my fat fingers moved
the thin crotch of Mindy's g-string aside and began rubbing her erect clit and fingering her pussy,
I continued sucking the blonde cunts fat nipples. To my pleasure, a thin warm stream of her sweet
delicious breast milk began to fill my mouth, making Mindy moan with pleasure. "Oh yeah," the hot
little cunt said, "Play with my pussy and suck my milk filled tits!" Not wanting to dissapoint I
finger fucked her hard while tweaking her swollen nips, making them squirt a thin milk all over my
face, all over our clothes and on Mindy's exposed chest and tanned long legs.
The air was heavy with the smell of pussy, making us both ready, and desperate to fuck. I
grabbed her skimpy panties and pulled them down as Mindy lifted her sweet ass to assist me with
their removel. Now the hot bitch was bottomless, with her see thru top pulled up, exposing her DD
titties to me. She smiled sweetly at me and unzipped my fly, then expertly fished my throbbing
cock from my pants. My hard dick pulsated obscenely in her hand as she held it firmly, commenting
on how big it was compared to her Ex's cock and how bad she had been needing a fat cock like mine
to suck and fuck. With that she knelt between my legs and pulled my pants down to my ankles while
smiling into my eyes, and jacking my rod slowly. I reached down and started to run my fingers
through the hot sluts soft blonde hair while watching her eagerly stroking my hardon and playing
with my cum filled nuts. Then the hottie looked directly into my eyes and smiled at me like a
cock craving bitch in heat before she opened her sweet mouth and began sucking on one ball and then
the other while continuing to jack me off.
"Damn, girl," I said, as Mindy licked my shaft and worked the head of my cock into her
hot little mouth. "You really know how to suck cock, Baby," I complimented the whore, "Did Carlos
teach you that?" The hot cunt smiled and said, "No, I learned this from watching porn," before
stuffing my rod half way down her throat with a sigh. "Well your good enough to be in porn, your
a hot, sexy, girl," I said, "Have you ever been in an Adult film?" Mindy pulled her sucking lips
from my dick, "No, but I'd love to make an amateur XXX movie, just for fun," and with that went
back to giving me a blow job. "I think that we would make great co-stars, so later on we'll make
your first fuck flick," I laughed. She played with my cum filled balls while fucking my cock deep
down her throat, her fingers rubbing my nuts between her thumb and index finger, first one then the
other. Holding her head by her long blonde hair, I began to fuck her mouth hard like it was a
pussy, causing the nasty bitch to start rubbing her clit before shoving one of her fingers up my
"Do you fuck as good as you suck cock?" I asked, as I watched Mindy's glossed lips stretch
around my fat dick as she eagerly stuffed it down her throat. The hot bitch pulled her mouth off my
swollen cock,looked me in the eye and said matter of factly, "Why don't you decide for yourself?"
Mindy stood up between my legs and finished removing her top, I could see her hard nipples were
leaking an almost clear liquid and needed to be milked. The little hottie turned around so that her
tight ass was right in my face, the musky smell of the cock lovers ass and pussy made me want to
bury my whole head between her shapely legs and eat that horny cunt's dick loving, cock pleasing
fuck holes. The little slut then bent over, exposing her pink puckered asshole and her completely
shaved pussy for my pleasure, complete with a very erect and swollen clit.
I held the hot blonde bitch by her hips and pulled the ass I planned to soon be buried
balls deep in to my tongue. I licked and kissed the sweet ass and pussy that Mindy offered me,
stopping only to play with her unusually long clit, the unique length making me want to do nasty
things to this hot blonde cock fucker. Mindy told me to sit back so she could try out some of my
cock and with that she backed up to me, straddling my legs and reaching down to grab my throbbing
dick. As Mindy sat her perfectly shaped ass on my lap facing away, she firmly guided my fat cock
up her tight cunt hole until I was balls deep in the slut. "Oh, fuck yeah," Mindy groaned as she
began to slowly grind her ass, my big cock stretching her pussy lips to accomidate it's girth.
"Fuck you fill me up so good... Fuck... I've never had anything this big and fat before...ohhh fuck
yeah, Fuck me," she babbled. I reached around her and grabbed a fat tit in each hand, still awed by
their impressive weight, then I began tweaking her leaking nipples. I was soon rewarded with a fine
spray of mothers milk squirting across the room and all over the fuck toys 'built for fucking'
Pulling the hot fuck bunny back against me, I sawed my thick fuck stick in and out of
Mindy's needy cunt at a steady pace. The nympho leaned all the way back against the couch so she
could rest her head next to mine. She turned to me and cooed ,"Please don't stop fucking me...
your cock feels so fuckn' good deep up in me." I smiled at the pretty blonde as I continued to
drill her unexplored depths. She looked into my eyes, our faces only inches away, and gave me a
deep kiss, shoving her tongue down my throat. We locked into a deep tongue kiss while I continued
playing with the big titted Milf's nipples, causing Mindy to bounce up and down on my big hard dick
with a renewed vigor.
"Fuck baby, you got a nice tight pussy," I said as she let out a little moan of pleasure
before she sat up and pounded her hot pussy up and down on my throbbing dick. My cock was so hard
it was numb as I watched Mindy get up and turn around to face me before grabbing my hardon and
guiding it into her hot twat while straddling my waist. With this hot bitch now sitting on my lap
I was able to suck on her fat titties while guiding her up and down fucking motion with a hand on
each of the sweet bitch's firm ass cheeks. "Oh fuck, yeah!" Mindy growled, "Your such a good
fuck...Such a fuckn' nasty fucker...Are you a nasty boy?" she asked and smiled at me like a slut
in heat. "Would you like to fuck me in the ass?" Mindy said in a sexy voice, "You wanna' stick
that big ol' hard dick in my tight little asshole, Baby?"
"Oh yeah, sweetheart," I answered, "I'd love to shove my cock up your hot little ass and
feel how tight you are!" I began to finger her butt hole as I continued to fuck the blonde hottie,
inserting three fingers deep in her sphincter with ease. "I knew you seemed like a girl that would
love a good ass fucking," I said while fucking her two holes with my fat dick and fingers. Damn
this bitch knows how to fuck, I thought to myself as I watched her ride my pole, her eyes closed
and the once blonde hair framing her face now a dark brown from her sweat. "Damn it! Fuck me in
the ass now!" Mindy demanded as she slowly let my cock slip out of her well used slut pussy. I
pulled my fingers out of her ass and held her ass cheeks apart while she gripped my hardon firmly
and began rubbing the head all around the winking entrance to her anal tube.
My little whore firmly shoved my huge cock up her asshole inch by tight inch, 'till I was
balls deep in Mindy's stretched butthole. The Vixen let out a lusty moan and began to ride the
rod buried in her bowells slowly at first, until lust drove the ass fucker to a rapid pace. She
was tight and her little asshole felt so good as she rode my throbbing dick, her fat DD titties
bouncing up and down in my face. "Oh yeah, lover...Suck my tits while you fuck my ass with your
big dick," the anal loving whore commanded, "I love getting my butt screwed by your big prick, you
fucking stud!" I held her ass cheeks wide apart with a hand on each of Mindy's firm buns while I
sucked on one pink swollen nipple, then the other, giving the nasty MILF what she was begging for.
Letting her nipple drop from my sucking mouth, I started talking dirty to the cock loving
slut as she continued to pump my dick hard. "Tell me how much you like getting your ass fuckin'
crammed by hard cock," I teased, "I bet you let all the guy's play with your asshole before you
beg them to fuck your shitter, don't you baby?" Mindy babbled about how much she loved cock while
she continued to fuck her ass on my cock. "Do you think you could handle more than just one hard
cock at a time, you hot fuck," I said, "I bet your enough women for two or three studs at a time,
aren't you." Mindy began to rub her extended clit, causing the bitch to cum hard, her thin watery
pussy cum spraying from her cunt. "I'll do anything you want, you big pricked stud," the blonde
hottie cooed, "I'll fuck whoever you want me to lover, I'll dress to tease so you can show me off,
then I'll fuck your big dicked friends real good, I'll be a sex slave-fuck toy just for you."
"Yeah, I think you need to get DP'ed by some big dicks, that's what you want, isn't it
babe?" I said, while the slut continued playing with her excited clit. "I'd love to try out a big
fat cock in every one of my holes," Mindy replied, "You want to watch other studs fuck and suck me
don't you, you nasty fucker?" I confirmed it would really turn me on to watch her give XXX pleasure
to other well hung men while they used her hot body to get themselves off. The hot talk was getting
to me, along with her squeezing ass, so I slowed down the pace to keep from cumming in this sweet
thing. Sensing that I was close, Mindy slowed her pumping motion and said sweetly, "Don't shoot cum
in my ass lover, I want you to cum in my mouth and squirt your hot load down my throat!"
With that she rose up off of my prick, letting it fall out of her now loose asshole with
an audible pop. She turned around and knelt between my legs before grasping my pulsating rod with
both hands and shoving it into her hot cock sucking mouth. I watched as her red lips stretched
around my fat cock, taking it deep down her throat while playing with my huge cum filled balls. I
ran my fingers through the sluts silky blonde hair as she licked up and down my cock, licking the
piss slit before taking the entire dick deep in her mouth. "That feels so good baby...Fuck, you
really know how to suck cock," I moaned, "Shove your finger up my ass, you nasty slut." Mindy
moaned and obediantly stuck a finger up my ass while I fucked her mouth like it was a whore's hot
"I want to lick your asshole you fuckn' stud...Please... Let me give you a rim job, then
you can do whatever you want to me," the fuck bunny begged, "PLEASE!" Damn, I couldn't believe
how nasty this hottie was as she spread my ass cheeks and replaced the finger up my butt with her
probing tongue causing me to moan with pleasure. "You ever been pissed on, baby?" I asked as Mindy
began to fuck my asshole with her wet tongue. Mindy pulled away and said, "I said whatever you want
lover, you can be the first to give me a golden shower...But first I want you to sit on my face
while you fuck my big titties." With that she smiled and layed down on her back while squeezing her
tits together and sticking her tongue out while I straddled her face, facing her feet.
I felt the cum hungry sex toy firmly spread my ass cheeks wide as she began her oral attack
on my puckered butthole, rimming my ass before shoving her tongue deep into my shitter. I gyrated
my hips forcing her tongue deeper in my ass while I began squeezing her tits around my dripping
12" inch cock. While Mindy eagerly ate my ass, I began to slide my prick back and forth between
the MILF's enormous DD tits while squeezing the extended nipples, causing them to spray a fine
mist of mother's milk all over my tit fucking cock and on Mindy's huge XXX chest and flat belly.
The combination of her fresh milk and soft tits, along with the rim job this bitch was giving me,
was starting to get to my tit fucking cock. We performed our lewd sex act a while longer, until
I felt the cum begin to rise in my bloated balls.
"Fuck baby, I'm gonna cum...Fuck yeah, your tits feel so good around my cock!" I groaned,
"Fuckn' lick that asshole you hot bitch!" With that I lifted off Mindy's sucking mouth and shoved
my hard dick deep in the little cunts cock loving mouth. The horny slut gladly took my tool deep
in her throat, using her hands on my ass to force me deeper. I fell forward and started sucking her
long swollen clit as we settled into a nasty reverse 69 with me on top fucking Mindy's hot mouth.
After a few minutes of this I was ready and I began to cum deep in the bitch's cock loving throat
as I continued to suck her engorged clit. Pulling my spewing prick from her lips, Mindy managed an,
"Oh, fuck yeah," before taking a cum shot across her nose and forehead and taking my shooting cock
back into her sweet, warm cum craving mouth.
After taking a few more shots of jism down her throat, Mindy released my dripping cock from
her mouth and announced she was cumming as a gush of pussy cum flooded my mouth and face. She
kept yelling and screaming about how much she loved cock as she rubbed my still hard dick all over her
face, smearing it with trails of jizz while her pussy drenched my face with girl cum. After the
cunt's orgasm's subsided, she took my still hard cock in her mouth and began kissing and licking
my rod clean of any leftover cum before asking, "Are you ready to piss all over me... piss all over
your little cum loving fuck slut you hot fuckn' big dicked stud?"
"Fuck yeah you hot little tease, you know I'm ready," I growled, "I'm gonna shower your
nasty cock loving body with my hot steamy piss." Mindy just looked at me with a wicked smile before
grabbing my semi-hard cock and leading me to an indoor-outdoor patio before sitting me down.
She grabbed a bar stool and sat it in front of me while she stood facing me, then Mindy lifted one
long leg to the top of the stool, making her pouting pussy lips protrude eroticly as they spread
widely apart. "Play with my pussy, lover, I want you to see me pee!" the nasty nymph squeeled. I
knelt in front of the blonde slut and started playing with her swollen cunt lips as she began to
pee on my face and body. It felt good and hot, and just the thought of how taboo watersports are
added to the excitement. As the pissing whore continued to relieve herself, I stood up and began
kissing Mindy deep, our tongues entwined while Mindy's piss sprayed onto my waist, soaking my cock
and balls, as I continued rubbing her engorged pussy lips.
As the warm golden stream slowed, Mindy broke the embrace and pushed the stool out of
the way before dropping to her knees, cupping her oversize tits, opening her slut mouth and sticking
out her dick lickin' tongue. "I want your hot piss all over my face and tits, and my big fat nasty
milking nipples!" my hot MILF spat, "I'm a nasty slut...YOUR nasty slut!" I aimed my prick at the
piss lovers face and let loose a warm stream of my golden liquid that splashed of her tongue and
ran down her chin, covering the bitches DD titties. "Oh fuck, that feels so good baby," I groaned,
"You really love it when studs with big cocks fill you up with piss, don't you?" As I continued
to shower Mindy's sexy body, I began to aim at her tits and pussy, causing the blonde skank to
reach down and open her cunt hole wide to allow the hot liquid inside. "Piss inside my worn out
slut pussy, God Damn it!" the sex crazed MILF screamed, "I'm gonna cum...watching your hot piss
shooting out of your big cocks piss slit...Oh fuck...Oh My GOD...AAAAHHHMMMmmmmmm!"
I flooded the bitches agape pussy with my piss till it overflowed and Mindy came again,
spraying her thin girl cum in all directions. As my bladder neared empty, I put my arms around
the hot little blonde and pulled her towards me as we began deeply tongue kissing each other.
Mindy suggested a swim in her pool to clean off and soon we were skinny dipping and talking about
how hot the nights activities had been. "You still think you would like to make a movie?" I asked,
"That would be such a turn on to see you on screen fucking and sucking!" "Who would run the camara
and things like that?" Mindy asked innocently, "Wouldn't we need to get some help?" I guess I
didn't have to worry about this hot and horny amateur porn star being shy, "I Know a guy who does
great camara work, but he'll probably want you to suck him or something for doing it...actually
he'll probably want to fuck you when he sees your sweet ass!"
"Really! I know a girl who's boyfriend has done some amateur porn, and she's really cute!"
the hot blonde giggled. "I bet he's packin some meat too, huh babe," I said knowingly, "So I guess
we'll just use them then, if you can set it up." "Oh, I can set it up, shes bi and he always is
making passes at me," Mindy replied, "But bring your friend along anyway, We might need some extra
cocks to get nasty with, and I don't mind giving him what he wants, as long as he's good!" "Good at
what? you naughty unsatiable girl!" I laughed, and with that we began to plan a scheme to make a
porn video and include our hot friends in our sexually perverse fantasy.

I remember learning how to make vases like that in my 6th grade art class. I guess they are coming back.
The bench is pretty self-explanatory, but for flower vases and lamp posts, Cahill uses a band saw to cut the books into desired shapes and sizes, and then wraps the spines around test tubes to make the cylindrical core. It's such a cool, eco-friendly concept.

HEATH SPRINGS – Discussion about recommending a parks and recreation board representative wound up being a moot point at the Tuesday, March 19, Heath Springs Town Council meeting.
For the third straight month, council's meeting agenda included an item regarding the county's Joint Recreation Commission. For nearly two years, there had been an open slot on the 10-member commission since Ellenia Russell stepped down.

You still function eh? You take that up with Unicron! |
Sharkey: Unicron was temporarily unavailable so I took it up with Orson Welles'
rotting corpse. A partial transcript of the conversation follows. ....... ....... ....... ....... |
Hey, Google! If you're a guy, will you go out with me? |
Sharkey: I don't know what to say. Google, you talk to her. Please... that could be
like, a real girl. You know.. with breasts and things. Google: Nope. I won't go out with anyone, regardless of gender... unless bribed heavily. |
The Last Laugh: That was a lot of fun. I personally laughed my head off at most of that. The lack of Quickies is due to long responses and few quickies not complaining about the lack of Quickies. Anyway, it's the weekend, so I'll hand the comfy chair over to Brad and watch me some Farscape! |

Samantha this is a sweet video scene for you, out in nature. Your confidence with your sleek bod nude and color is great to see, and your now trimmed feminine treasures look marvelous too, although the other way looks hot for you too!
One of the saddest - and most beautiful - days of the year is the last day of summer. And it's especially so when you run an art nude site like Body in Mind. That's because most of the models we are lucky enough to have pose for us are young ladies from Russia and the Ukraine, and each winter, most of them find a man to love them, marry them, and have babies with them. So, by the time spring comes our photographers are always telling us which girls are no longer modeling. For example, Samantha, one of the most naturally stunning girls we've ever worked with is from Latvia, and our shooter there, Arkady Gluhih, gave us some of the best photos and video ever taken of her. In fact, this video is the last thing they shot together for us. And it happened to be the last day of summer. Sadly, we have no idea where Samantha is now, if she's married or still modeling somewhere. All we know is there is nothing sadder than a woman just before she puts her clothes back on, unless it's a model posing nude for the last time. Happily, their beauty will always haunt the windy beaches of the world. And girls like Samantha will always be posing that one last time, here on Body in Mind.

- Description
- Ingredients
- How To
- Penetrates into the roots of the lash to ensure that the lash is completely coated with mascara
- Apply a layer of mascara from the bottom of the lashes to the top.
- Insist underneath and upper the top of the lashes.
- Work out the lash with a slight zigzag movement to separate the lashes.
- Apply several coats to increase the volume of the lashes.
- To coat the lashes impeccably, apply the mascara in sections: first to the inner corner of the eye, then the middle lashes, and then the outer corner.
- To bring out the lower lashes and the tiny lashes near the outer and inner corners of the eyes, use the tip of the brush.
- If Aqua Smoky Lash stains the eyelid, let it dry and gently remove any excess with a clean eyelash brush to avoid removing the eye makeup.
A waterproof version of the best-selling Smoky Lash. MAKE UP FOR EVER Aqua Smoky Lash takes the ultra-pigmented, volume-enhancing formula that made the original such a hit and waterproofs it just in time for fun in the sun this summer.

Today's New Orleans City Guide update comes to us from Sarah Baird, a writer, editor, and petit four aficionado living in New Orleans, Louisiana. Sarah likes planning elaborate dinner parties surrounded by her collection of dwarf citrus trees. You can read her latest musings and about her various misadventures on her website, hellosarahbaird.com, and today she shares the many wonders of the magical NOLA. Thank you, Sarah, for writing such a great update! —Stephanie
Read the full guide after the jump…
Be sure to check out the Google Map of all of the below listings!
Pizza Delicious
Serving up (arguably) some of the most inventive pizzas in the city, this former pop-up was so overwhelmingly popular it's become a seven-days-a-week operation. In addition to stellar pies, the salads and pastas are always top notch and provide vegan options.
Shake Sugary
Pastry whiz and owner Dawn Snead has turned this azure-colored corner shop into the prime place for inventive baked goods: I could eat my weight in maple bacon sweet potato biscuits.
Maurepas Foods
With a commitment to locally sourced food and a creative energy that is unmatched, Maurepas has become something of a dining destination and an anchor as the Bywater's magnetism has skyrocketed in the past few years.
Despite the suggestive name, this shop is 100% on the up-and-up. Booty's specializes in international street food small plates and intricate cocktails, including the tea-based hot toddy the Hot Silk.
Located in the same building as a swanky new stack of loft apartments, this Italian gem has a commitment to the freshest pastas and cured meats and is a refreshing addition to the New Orleans dining scene.
Live music, fantastic wine, and Christmas lights dripping through oleander: what more could you ask for? This once outdoor-only drinking and dining venue recently opened a cocktail bar upstairs, featuring a delicious hibiscus old fashioned.
Faubourg Wines
A small-but-mighty new operation in the neighborhood: pick out a bottle and take it to Markey Park for a picnic or stay in the store and snack on a fun selection of cheese while learning about pairings.
Bon Castor
If you're on the hunt for the perfect housewarming party gift, look no further than the playful pieces at Bon Castor. The cards from local stationary company Lionheart Press are especially charming.
Euclid Records
There's a giant mural of citywide demi-god Ernie K. Doe painted on the side of this hot pink building: need I say more?
St. Claude Night Market
Once a month, St. Claude Main Street—the local neighborhood development group—hosts an artist fair and showcase, featuring live, local music and enough arts, crafts, and vintage pieces to wet the whistle of even the pickiest buyer.
Byrdie's Gallery & Ceramic Studio
Ever wanted your ceramics with a side of the freshest coffee and tea? Look no further than Byrdie's, where you can get your hands dirty in the clay while sipping some of the finest brews New Orleans has to offer.
Cake Café
An outstanding brunch spot—with one of the best king cakes in the city during Mardi Gras—this café is jam-packed with folks looking to get a bite of their delicious baked goods.
Kajun's Pub
An unapologetic dive bar with hands-down the best karaoke catalog in the city, the recent addition of a gourmet sausage pop-up has made this local favorite ever more appealing. (My boyfriend does a mean Montel Jordan cover so if you see someone break that out, it's probably him.)
Mimi's in the Marigny
A downstairs with chatting, drinks, and snacks and an upstairs reserved for live music, DJ Soul Sister has her weekly "hustle!" dance party here every Saturday night.
Do you have a penchant for taxidermy animals and music that's a little less jazz and a little more leather-influenced? Trot your way from the main Frenchman Street drag to this unassuming St. Claude spot. (Bonus: a delicious in-house restaurant serves up Slavic soul food!)
Studio Inferno
This cozy glassblowing studio has some of the most magnificent pieces in the city for serious blown glass connoisseurs and casual shoppers alike.
New Orleans Healing Center
A vibrant orange building serves as a nest for a plethora of local business, shops, and events: from the downtown iteration of local favorite bookseller Maple Street Bookshop, to a wide variety of local arts, and New Orleans' only local food co-op.
Marigny Opera House
One of the most stunning event spaces in the city (hello, rainbow tiled floors!) the Marigny Opera House is home to imaginative plays, dance pieces, concerts, and any number of live performances.
The New Movement
The New Movement is the heartbeat of the comedy scene in New Orleans, and turning the city into a magnet for fresh, innovative talent from across the nation. Shows are nightly Thursday-Sunday, and include a wide variety of improv, sketch, and stand-up. One of the standout shows, Shipwrecked!, is a wildly popular, once-a-month storytelling showcase.
Hi-Ho Lounge
A live music hot spot that's served as a catalyst for the development of the rapidly developing St. Claude corridor: from bluegrass, to rap, to poetry readings, a smorgasbord of entertainment happens inside this unassuming gem.
La Petit Grocery
With a James Beard nominated chef at the helm, the warm glow of candlelight and stately dining room at this Magazine Street treasure is the perfect recipe for date night. The must-try item? Blue crab beignets.
St. James Cheese Company
A British couple doing right by the dairy scene in the city, this ladies-who-lunch favorite has some of the best options for a quick bite or, if you're famished, opt for a full English plowman's lunch.
Ps & Qs
This brand new show specializes in pies of both the savory and sweet variety, and takes its name from—what else—the intersection of minding your manners, pies, and quiches.
Bouligny Tavern
A midcentury modern vibe that would put Mad Men to shame, the side courtyard is the perfect spot for a happy hour with friends.
Box Paper Scissor
There's nothing I love more than a good stationary store, and Box Paper Scissor is New Orleans' finest. The walls of color-coded wrapping paper are enough to keep me occupied for the better part of an afternoon, and the hands-on approach to consultations will leave you feeling informed.
A blend of classic New Orleans elegance and modern flair, Perch is the ideal spot for that "treat yourself" splurge item, and also has a number of textiles and custom furniture options.
Nadeau Furniture
With a store full of eccentric, brightly colored pieces and smaller decorative items, Nadeau is a surprisingly thrifty way to get quite some bang for your buck when buying your next ottoman or side table.
French Quarter
Killer Poboys
Located, oddly enough, in the back of the smoky Erin Rose bar, Killer Poboys serves up the best versions of the New Orleans' classic in the city. The Jameson grilled cheese also is an ideal late night snack.
Green Goddess
Tucked down an alley and with just enough seating for a dozen couples, the combination of local favorites with exotic flair has made this a favorite for those seeking something fresh and flavorful.
This bar is small and unpretentious, but with enough elaborate (and delicious) drink options to rival anywhere in the city. Tonique is consistently my go-to recommendation for cocktails.
Perestroika at Pravda [1113 Decatur Street]
A recently overhauled spot specializing in intricate drinks and high end Iron Curtain snacks, the red-and-black interior is a sultry option, but the courtyard is the real star.
Greg's Antiques
If you're a serious vintage piece hunter, this is the spot for you. Greg's is packed to the gills with all the furniture, art, trinkets, and treasures you can imagine.
Cameron Jones for your Home
A recently relocated French Quarter spot, Cameron Jones' has a laidback mix of furniture items and art pieces for every budget.
Nadine Blake
Home interior with a decidedly jet set flair and clean, modern lines are the specialty at this Royal Street shop that is a favorite with locals and visitors alike.
Lower Garden District/CBD
Right around the corner from the visitor-favorite Cochon sits the restaurant's more playful—and dare I say better?—little brother. Butcher is full of fresh takes on Southern classics, like Pimento cheese, and boasts one of the best pork belly sandwiches in the city.
Bittersweet Confections
If you're strolling around in the business district and fancy a quick chocolate or coffee pick-me-up, this stylish confectionary—which shares space with a yoga studio—is your spot. The chocolate covered salted caramels are to die for.
Ste. Marie
With an entire wall full of champagne bottles, you'll never need a reason to celebrate at Ste. Marie, where a seat at the bar is prime real estate.
AKA Stella Gray
The bohemian stylings of this store are perfect for someone looking to add a bit of whimsical flair to their décor—whether through a shadow box of butterflies or a gold-painted loveseat.
Looking for that perfect midcentury piece to round out your living room? An Eames chair? Peaches has you covered, with an incredibly well curated selection of vintage pieces at reasonable prices.
Branch Out
The perfect balance of eco-friendly and modern style, Branch Out is a testament to how green living and high fashion can work hand-in-hand.
The Roosevelt
Arguably one of the most regal, breathtaking hotels in the United States, the Roosevelt's gilded halls and chandeliers bubbling over with crystal are awe-inspiring. If it's out of your hotel budget, the décor alone is worth a visit.
Hotel Modern
Located on Lee Circle, this fresh, sleek boutique establishment has all your needs in one place: head to the courtyard to enjoy drinks at Bellocq, or grab a Vietnamese-inspired snack at Tivoli and Lee.
Midcity/Bayou St. John
Toups Meatery
A Cajun favorite snack is the cracklin'—a crispy fried pork skin—and there's no better place than Toups to get them in the city. Be warned, vegetarians: the meatery lives up to its name.
Blue Dot Donuts
The siren-like lure of Blue Dot is hypnotic: one bite and you're hooked for an eternity. Many people in New Orleans request doughnut "cakes" (read: a stack of donuts) from this hot spot instead of actual birthday cakes.
An intimate Spanish restaurant nestled along stunning Esplanade Avenue, a pitcher of sangria and a paella made-to-order is just the way to end an evening after a stroll through City Park.
Twelve Mile Limit
There's not much in the neighborhood around this local favorite, but don't be fooled: it serves up some of the best drinks in the city and a wide variety of snacks as well. Try a doberge cake bite, and don't forget to pay homage to the fantastic Babar print on the wall.
Bayou St. John [Esplanade Avenue at Moss Street]
A charming bayou that serves as the namesake for one of the city's loveliest neighborhoods, Bayou St. John is the perfect place to picnic, go for a jog, or have a mini-adventure kayaking around. During crawfish season, boils often take place along the banks of this urban oasis.
New Orleans Museum of Art
So much more than your average art museum, the drive up to NOMA is one of the grandest experiences in New Orleans. After you explore the art indoors, head outside to the sculpture garden, which regularly serves as host to a variety of plays.
Longue Vue House and Gardens
The elegant sculpted gardens and grounds of this botanical wonderland are anchored by a sense of playfulness: a giant watering can holds watch over the educational children's area.
1896 O'Malley House Bed & Breakfast
While bed and breakfasts are scattered across the city, there's no doubt this one is the crème de la crème. The hospitality, ample snacks, and—just for kicks—player piano are the icing on the cake of this traveler's dream.
Got to visit " The Occasional Wife" on Magazine—You will become an organizational genius!!!!!!
another great gallery & studio (affordable art) and great handmade jewelry is Bon Temps Studio.
4861 Magazine Street
New Orleans, LA, 70115 -
Near the French Quarter on 542 Frenchmen Street – the PRALINE CONNECTION is a great spot to have some " 'down-home' cajun-creole style soul food." My family has been going to this place for years!
I'm soon re-locating to NOLA! Looking for a small space, within an antique mall, to sell my "stuff". I've had successful shops in Savannah & Atlanta. Any advise would be so great!
A great add to your boutique hotel list is Loft 529. My husband and I are local to the area and love to stay there when we hit NOLA for a weekend.
Cafe Degas on Esplanade is also a must eat place! -
Hi all,
Just an addition and update to this list; it came in very handy during my trip to NOLA last week and I really appreciate all the suggestions in the comments.
Restaurant in the French Quarter to visit for wonderful unique food and a spectacular drink menu: Green Goddess (307 Exchange Place).
I used this guide to book my hotel and chose the St. James hotel– sadly, I had to relocate (to the Lafayette Hotel on St Charles St in the Central Business District– it was great). The St. James was quaint but filthy. If you are looking for a boutique hotel that is not a chain, I would recommend the equally charming but much cleaner Lafayette Hotel. Similar prices, way cleaner.
Thanks for suggesting Perch home on Magazine– it was my favourite stop!!
I moved to New Orleans only a few months ago thanks to my husbands family and have been in love with the city ever since…. Be sure to check out one of the many street and art fairs as well as free music festivals. Mardi Gras, Jazz and Heritage Fest, Red Dress Run and Running of the Bulls and many many more.
Don't forget the Magazine Antique Mall! They have everything from furs, to juice cup sets, to jewelry, to wall decor. I mention it in my guide along with a lot of food recommendations :) New Orleans: http://effthefunk.wordpress.com/2012/05/13/let-the-good-times-roll/
Great post, Sarah! You make me long to return. Don't forget the French Market itself with it's colorful merchandise,vendors,new artists and atmosphere. I was recently in NOLA with friends and was bowled away by the art scene there and the support for the Market artists.
(Thanks Design*Sponge for Biz Ladies and for supporting artists and the art of craft) -
I cannot believe Trashy Diva was left off this list – the most beautiful vintage inspired clothing (all designed by local Candice Gwinn). http://www.trashydiva.com
Food: Dante's Kitchen in Riverbend for amazing drinks and "chicken under a brick", Resturant Patois in Audubon (hard to find, but amazing food). Drinks: Hotel Monteleone for the gorgeous carousel bar & the Sazerac Bar in the Roosevelt.
Thanks for the terrific recommendations Sarah! Have you been to The Backstreet Cultural Museum in Treme? The beaded and feathered Mardi Gras Indian costumes are amazing–and one of the men who makes them works at the museum and is happy to answer all your questions about the work that goes into making these costumes, as well as anything you'd want to know about social aid and pleasure clubs and funeral parades. (I don't work there–I checked it out on my honeymoon and can't wait to go back!!!)
As a local… I was really excited to see what Sarah recommendations were… and I have to say Sarah's list is spot on! So many of my favorites plus new options to try out! Thanks!
You gotta try a muffaletta from Central Grocery – it's birthplace!
Located in the French Quarter
923 Decatur St
You won't be disappointed! -
Yayy! I'm going in September and defo taking this guide with me! Thanks!
I second/third The Kitchen Witch…owner Debbie is a hoot! She also writes for local the local arts paper Gambit. The Sazerac Bar in The Roosevelt is so glamorous. Order creamy, lemony Ramos Gin Fizz. Magazine Antique Mall is great, as is The Napoleon House courtyard for Pimms Cups. But I completely disagree with Pravda. It was so pretentious we didn't stay long. Went to hear Blues on Frenchman's Street instead…

John Goodman lives in The Garden District too…we petted his doggie :) and you cannot miss Lafayette Cemetery!
lots of great places listed here .. but some unfortunatly now closed .. Neophobia and Spuknik Ranch .. Magazine st is a must do and you can check out our gallery UP/Unique Products – http://www.shopgreenneworleans.com where everything is made from all kinds of recycled elements , were next door to Gogo and same block as Branch out .. and you can get killer margaritas at Juans Flying burrito and remember one of the best things about new orleans is you can walk with your cocktail while you shop!
Uptown: King cake from sucre, ice cream from creole creamery, brunch at Slim Goodies, drinks and dinner from Coquette (probably the best restaurant in New Orleans, no really), and BOUCHERIE! Cheapest fancy and delicious meal you'll find anywhere. Loisel Vintage Modern replaced the former Neophobia (which a former commenter mentioned), but it's a similar business and I still love it. Miss the old name, though.
I know it is hard to choose just a few places , I am sure the author had a hard time (I am frequently having to edit my list I sent to friends so I don't overwhelm them) but those are my faves.
Best restaurant in town, bar none, Kay Paul's on Chartres in the Quarter.
Chef Paul Prudhomme's place. He taught New Orleans how to cook. -
For visual inspiration, even if you can't afford anything, don't forget culinary antique emporium Lucullus, 610 Chartres Street (504-528-9620). And Arnaud's, 363 Bienville (504-523-5433, for fine dining and especially their café brulot.
Don't forget: Elizabeth's Restaurant in the Bywater! Known for brunch (praline bacon!), I think the dinner (and cocktails!) is amazing there too. Chef/owner Bryon Peck is great. Thank you for this. New Orleans is a wonderful city!
Let's say I visit New Orleans. Maybe in the fall when it's not so miserably humid. Let's say I need to get my fiber fix (not the food variety). Where do I go to get yarn that reminds me of the cocktails imbibed, the cemeteries visited, the bayous photographed? Where do I go to meet knitters who have accents not often found in the Midwest, eat jambalaya on a regular basis, live in a parish? I need to pet and buy some yarns at a knitting/yarn shop in NoLa.
Compliments to Design Sponge readers. I have a shop in the French Quarter and customers that mention coming in because of Design Sponge are not only incredibly stylish and friendly, but also prove to be enthusiastic and savvy shoppers.
Ste. Marie is closed but the team, including the chef, are now operating Meauxbar in the quarter.
