Darker Shades

I'm after seeing fifty shades Darker than before. I think I'm just as pretty as her. I don't mean to be a bore. My hair is fifty shades of gray. My tummy's turned into two. My breasts are not as pert as her's. I wear size seven shoes. But still, they have good lighting now. I'm sure they could adjust. Perhaps if Christian put on some weight? Ten stone should be enough. for THEATER OF THE ABSURD contest.

Dear Chuck. Thank you for cheering me up today. It's one of those days when all of us lonely hearts need cheering. I really do believe my own press you know. I can't understand why there is not a queue of ardent admirers.

It was lusciously filmed, but a bit empty I thought. Enjoyable all the same. I hope you enjoyed it too Andrea.

LOL! The older I get the more beautiful everyone is! Beauty is deeper than hair, boobs, butts, etc... when you find yourself saying ooh la la to the one that is broken in...bwahahah...love it!

I agree with you Kim. What's truly absurd is the fixation modern society has on so called beauty. Our daughters are under fierce pressure to fit that mold. Now more than ever. It's so unfair.
