  • Do you remember a Tiger Beat-esque magazine with boys from alt-rock bands?

    Argh, I remember this, and I think it began with an "S." It was sexier than Tiger Beat and Elliot Smith was on the cover once? They sold it at Pistil. That's all I remember.

  • Does she have a right to be upset about my past?
    Avatar_default

    Whether or not she has a right to be upset, it's understandable that she is. No one wants to worry that the person they love is going to cheat on them. And when a good friend goes through something, it always makes you wonder what you'd do if the same thing happened to you.

    She came home feeling really sensitive and you picked a bad time to disclose this detailed information, though you really shouldn't have told her at all. What was she to gain by knowing this about you? All it's done is make her wonder whether she can trust you or if she'll end up like her friend.

    You WERE right to tell her up front that you don't believe in absolute monogamy, but I think now you need to talk to her about what that means so that she is clear about what to expect from your relationship. Good luck!

  • Bars with unusual interiors?

    Grimm's upstairs bar is really romantic, dark, and empty. The walls are lined with mason jars full of butterflies, and it is basically just candle lit. There are cushy pillows to lean against, and the floors and walls are dark wood. It's long and narrow. Also, their food is delicious - better than Bleu's, even. There was only one other couple there on a Friday night evening when we were there.

    I'm not sure that the upstairs is always open, though. They might just open on weekends.

    Also, what your friend did is pretty common, I think, though most guys don't come out and say it so bluntly. I had lots of guy friends in my 20s, and as soon as they started dating someone, they'd disappear.

  • Insecurity: It may be normal but I think it's lame. You??

    Insecurity sucks. No one likes an insecure person, and no one wants to be an insecure person. But it happens. Sometimes it's not justified and sometimes it is. She might be behaving irrationally, but who knows? Maybe her boyfriend doesn't act like he's attracted to her, maybe they don't have enough sex, maybe he talks about other women too much.

    I know nothing about their relationship, but it's not always something inherent in the girl that causes the insecurity, so I wouldn't judge her too harshly. Usually people grow out of it, (and then it all comes back when they start aging and their husbands start going to strip clubs and getting lap dances from girls 15 years younger - sorry, just projecting here).

    I was also going to say the Museum of Jurassic Technologies.

    The Museum of Death is horrifying but definitely worth going to if you can stomach it, and the owner is a cool Jim Rose-type. It includes an extensive collection of serial killers' letters and personal belongings, funeral home embalming videos, a number of graphic photos of murder victims, etc...I can't believe I went, but it was fascinating.

    The Psychiatry: an Industry of Death Museum run by a human rights group is another strange place.

    Galco's Soda Pop Shop has 400 different kinds of soda.

    Pick up the book "LA Bizarro." I bought it after my trip there but it includes hundreds of weird places to visit. It's where I read about the soda shop.

    Thanks. It turns out what I was looking for are called "booty shorts" which are hard to find outside of actual stripper stores. I just did not even realize there was such a thing as stripper stores until yesterday :) Maybe Metro is what I'm looking for. But I'm a lazy shopper so I prefer online stores.

    As for your empowerment comment, I don't see the point in buying sexy underwear "for myself." I mean, I think I'm pretty and all, but I'm not turned on by staring at myself. It makes more sense to buy stuff he likes since that's who I'm really buying it for. It's harmless and does the trick after 10 years, so I'm super into it. I don't see it as an empowerment issue.

  • what's your favorite washington state ghost town to visit/be a tourist?
    Avatar_default

    If you're looking for ghost towns with restored buildings, shops and residents, Port Gamble is great. They have an arts festival there at the end of the month, too.

    Oysterville is another good one. And Bodie is an authentic one with no current residents and original log buildings & houses.

    Oh, I agree with her. But when you've been married for as long as I have, sometimes you'll just wear the damn stripper clothes if it means you get to have awesome sex. I just want something that doesn't look cheaply made but is a bit cooler than the stuff they sell at Nordstroms.
