The Sweet Grime of SummerNanci Reggier always told me I should keep a "couple of victims rattlin' around my pipeline." She said, "Blondie, the only things boys are good for is oral sex and hauling around heavy furniture. Gotta have three so you can pit them against each other. It is imperative you have a little talent on the side. Oh, and you must oscillate between being an Ice-Princess and an affectionate 16-year-old...just enough to make `em crazy. Kiss `em sweet if they're good, but give `em the old Greta Garbo if they try to mess with you." . . . . . More
