Humps + Lumps + Rumps
Serving Beefcake Butts With Cherry Cheesecakes šš
Authorās Note: Last night, I went to bed super excitedāand excitableāafter spending the day connecting and reconnecting with some of my favorite people in the world. Soā¦not a lot of sleep happened, and this post may not make much sense. By design, itās mid-week fluff, intentionally sassy, sexy, and silly.
Just the wayāuh huh, uh huhāI like it.
Not everyone likes being pretty in pink, but with my complexion, I was born this way, baby. I donāt just wear pink on Wednesdays (Ć la Mean Girls). I wear pink 24/7/365ā¦and twice on Wednesdays. Just to be extra, extraā¦read all about it.
So if you prefer toned-down color palettes and traditional masculinity, you might not enjoy my over-the-top, rambling tribute to curves, cakes, and men who can fill out a Speedo and donāt mind being the butt of a jokeā¦preferably in their birthday suit.
Letās talk humps. Letās talk lumps. Letās talk about rumps. Arenāt they just lovely?
Iāll never understand why some are ashamed of the views in their rearview mirror.
Objects may be larger than they appear. Which is good in my book. Personally, I like big butts, and I cannot lie. I also like small, medium, and extra-large butts too. The truth is our best assets may be following us around. Just saying.
What do I love almost as much as beefcake butts? Cherry cheesecake of course. Which might explain why I found myself watching The Golden Girls reruns in the middle of the night, channeling my inner Blanche, Dorothy, Rose, and Sophia.
My brain was craving cheesecake, and my libido was eyeing some beefcake.
But since Iām watching my diet, I settled for a little zero-calorie eye candy instead.
Despite being sleepless in LA, I am super excited about the day ahead. Wearing pink as I reunite with at least one of my favorite people in the world.
Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin), Boo!

Roy Orbison and Shake-speare day.
I close my eyes then I drift away, Into the magic night, I softly say
A silent prayer like dreamers do, Then I fall asleep to dream my dreams of you
I highly recommend a series called Upstart Crow, with David Mitchell. It's available here through the library on a service called Kanopy.
