For years, women have talked in code, amongst friends about their romances. It has been our way of sharing life experiences with other women, without exposing the truths of our dalliances to others. Perhaps it was Sex and the City's Carrie Bradshaw that illuminated this art-form best with the naming of "Mr. Big..." For me, it is something that entertains me when reflecting upon relationships of yesterday.
Usually, the names come to me very quickly. They are either derived from a man's behavior,his personality, appearance, occupation, sexual prowess and "tool size"-- or lack there of , or it can be as simple, beautiful and intimate as a shared experience.
A few examples:
"The Sketchpad"- a tall, handsome, sexy, highly tatooed, great lovin, younger man that immediately elevated me to Queen of the Cougars!
"Sparky" - because he had great recovery time and was always so eager to play.
"Spartacus" - because he was very muscular, assertive and oooh so naughty in the bedroom!
"The Gardener"- because he was a landscaper/gardener with a track record of impregnating women out of wedlock.
"Benson"- because we would meet at a tres chic and swanky hotel bearing the same name!
"Chalupa Charlie" - because, just like the drive-thru's at his restaurants, he's in and out within 5 minutes! ooooh!
Regardless of how I decided upon my paramour's nicknames, it has become favorite fodder for me and my girls during our "Happy Hour-Therapy Sessions".
Does anyone else enjoy doing this or is this something unique to me?
This blog was originally created for confident, self-assured, fun-loving women. However, I'm pleased to report that it's since been adopted by many an igognito man. Ooh la la! is not designed to malign or offend. Au contraire mes amis... my desire is to share experiences with others of like mind and spirit. C'est le bonheur!

"you slip out of speaking English-- into French,
without even realizing that you did this,
but... the only clue is that the person you are
talking to looks at you-- as if you are insane!!!"
Oui, il est vrai,parce que c'est mon histoire!
