I'm not calling you an airhead, I'm calling your main character an airhead. So unless you are writing an autobiography, none of my comments were personal ;) Don’t be silly, girl.

Actually, Tess, I'm fully naked in that picture. And no, my averse reaction to the public's choices so far has nothing to do with my sex life. In fact, it's exactly because I get so much satisfaction from my personal life (both in the vertical and the horizontal) that I don't really care much for your washed-out version of Sex and the City. Your story's been told in a million different platforms and ways. I just would've rather read Tuck's story. Or Igor's. Or Fido's. I think that people who don't feel the same way I do lack vision, originality and sense of humour. And I'm not apologizing for feeling that way. But clearly I stand alone in thinking this way. Maybe it's just that I don't relate to the trials and tribulations of not being able to find love and sex (or either kind) in a big city? As for your response to my criticism: for a NY artist, you sure have a lot of growing and toughening up to do. Deflecting, and throwing cheap shots about my avatar and speculations about my life won't make your writing any more interesting. In any case, I'd be very open to you surprising me next round with something truly inspiring. So enjoy your immunity, and I look forward to reading your next entry. Lol.

Voters: what a bunch of twats you all are." -annabones mwAAHH this coming from a girl who's almost topless in her avatar and who's still on her round 3 writing... talk about desperate!! you probably don't need the "no offense" there unless you were trying to be ironic or something. i guess the annabones is because you always have a bone to pick. way to insult the voters. i guess anyone who doesnt have your view is stupid. you sound like some my girlfriends ... bitchy half the time because they're so unhappy and defending a-holes the rest. but i luv them anyway. they're just unhappy. that's why they're so bitchy. maybe you just need to "get laid." pfff, girls. by the way, thanks eros :) “No offense, but ya’ll REALLY prefer reading about red-skirted airheads trying to get laid in NY rather than about Frank’s obscenities?”
