The Trollop Collection

EG is the second person to send me this link to ETSY shop Electric Bluebird. Lady Raven was the first, and I bought the slip. I adore the write-up: This is the second in my Trollop Collection. I hand-dyed this vintage half-slip a hawt hawt red. Then, I wrote a litany of euphamisms for trollop like chippy, lady of the evening, tart, etc. around the bottom.

I love my slip and have worn the piece several times—as slip and as a skirt. Will put up pics shortly. EG also sent me this link to this fabulous Geelizzie pendant.



Wow, pretty soon I'll have an army of ETSY personal shoppers! You all know my taste. The pendant reminds me of this crazy thing that happened after my first novel was published. I'd given a copy to my roommate, who gave a copy to his friend. And over drinks at El Coyote, this friend leaned over and whispered to me, "I licked slowly around her asshole." (You know, I may be misquoting. But the sentence was very similar to that.)

I went instantly pink.

My eyes were huge.

I mean, what the fuck, right? We were sitting in the bar in El Coyote, late afternoon sun illuminating the circles in the stained glass windows, margaritas illuminating our mood. And now this man, someone I'd never met before, was leaning in and talking dirty to me. Why?

"You wrote that," he said, "and I can't stop thinking about the scene."

Somehow, I don't think events like this happen to authors like Anne Tyler. But maybe I'm wrong.
