Speechless

Very last-minute of me to be replying to this, but I will be at The Floating World this evening. Hope to see a familiar face or two among the happy throngs! Speechless

"I was mighty blue Thought my life was through 'Til the heavens opened And I gazed at you Won't you tell me, dear Why, when you appear, Something happens to me And the strangest feeling goes through me? You do something to me Something that simply mystifies me Tell me, why should it be, You have the power to hypnotize me? Let me live 'neath your spell Do do that VuJu that you do so well For you do something to me That nobody else could do!" I think Cole Porter would approve of the updated lyrics.

I'm partial to Miss May. EIZO - Pin-up Calendar 2010

I have to admit there is a strong resemblance. It must be the glasses.

'Twas not your folly, dear Lady. The fault was entirely mine.

My sister-in-law is from Shanghai; she's a brilliant research scientist, soft-spoken and very modest. But perhaps that's why she left.

I concur wholeheartedly! (Also, I like the way the photographer makes another cameo appearance, just as she did in Mistress Ree's Stewardess gallery. It's becoming a signature touch.)

Expo 2010 is being hosted in Shanghai this year. It's the biggest and most expensive international fair ever - they've spent more on it than on the 2008 Olympics. Pretty much every country in the world is participating. A friend of mine just went. I'm expecting a full report when she gets back, as I'm hoping to get over there this year myself. I have fond memories of the 1964-65 World's Fair in New York, which was in Flushing Meadows Park. I was barely old enough to remember it, yet it made a big impression on me. Imagine how the Unisphere looked to a four year old! And the "Space Age" was brand new - this was seven years after Sputnik, and only three years after the first manned spaceflight. We were in a race with the USSR to land on the moon. It seemed like everything at the Fair was about rockets and outer space and Cool Cool Stuff!

I love the photos, and feel free to use them unedited in the galleries if you want. Thanks! And thank you so much for the most enjoyable and memorable Saturday night I've had in quite some time. I wish I could say that more emphatically; perhaps I'll find the words soon.

I think the moral of this story may be that I need a new scene name. You were not the only one who was confused when I introduced myself! And I had a great time too, Mistress Ree. I'll be writing more about it soon.

Or in other words: "All your bottoms are belong to us."

Thanks for the update, and looking forward to seeing you there!

I think you mean Saturday (tonight), although it will certainly continue into the wee hours of Sunday morning. I was at the last Halloween party and didn't leave until 5 am or so, and things were still going full blast. As it happens, I am in town and the prospect of meeting you and the other lovely ladies of the Fortress - feet and all - is enticing. What time do you all expect to be there? Speechless

My Korean boss actually taught me that word, about twenty-five years ago, after watching me date all of the eligible women in our company one after another. "You like butterfly, flit from one flower to next!" I don't think he'd ever been to Thailand... but who knows? Am I a bad guy? Well, I'm a guy. We all butterfly, or want to. Often the women who complain most about it are active butterflies themselves. Anyway, I'm glad I made you laugh.

Am I the only one who calls it "butterflying", rather than cheating or straying? So many flowers to visit, so little time. But then I'm more of a bottom than a sub... and more of a switch than a bottom. Perhaps I look at things differently.

Othello's granddaughters are having the last laugh.

Hm. Would be a hell of a first date.

It's interesting to see how this thread has morphed. The subject now seems to be "Ms. Zhao is fast... with a comeback!" (No comeback required here. Think of me as the Greek chorus on the sidelines. But dang, I do love fast women.)

Spockme, "Ree Review" sounds Ree-dundant. I can't believe you missed the opportunity to simply call this a Ree-view.

Also, I would like to point out that our days get longer by 17 microseconds each year due to tidal drag, which dwarfs the effects of quakes and other tectonic disturbances. Which is great news for me, if I'm still around in 400 million years or so, since my own circadian clock insists that a day should be 26 hours long and is quite cranky every morning when confronted with the fact that this is not so.

Sir, I nominate you for Post of the Month! Now please excuse me while I clean the orange juice from my monitor...

Understandable. One can do a lot with 6 inches, if applied properly.

I've noticed that while the Fortress ladies have graced us with their images here in the forum, most of their admirers have not yet seen fit to show their faces. So, I've updated my avatar so you can all see what I look like. C'mon guys, gonna follow my lead? I hope at least some of you will, or I'm gonna have egg on my face.

Having seen photos of your Wayne Chung and Wei Na Hung personas, I'm not surprised at all. You're quite passable.

If it has a personality of its own, it ought to have a name of its own. This is de rigueur for legendary weapons, like Andúril or Glamdring. (It doesn't have to be quite so fancy or geeky. "Sting" would do.)
