Storms, Films, Saphhic Delinquency and A Shout Out to Erie!

Well, we didn't make it to the sex toy party.  And what's up with the comments about marriage in relation to that?  Who needs marriage to enjoy a good dildo?  Hmmm … We ate Chinese food and grabbed some ice cream at Klavons in the Strip.  I was still a little rattled by my experience […]
