Bangkok's Victory Monument

Moving from Los Angeles to Bangkok was not as traumatic as it might've been had I not visited the 'original' City of Angels a couple of times prior. I did have some 'almost-friends', one of whom owned two condominiums. The plan was to hook me up with a dwelling as soon as possible, so as to eliminate paying hotel rates in a place which I could never call 'home'.

Bangkok bars - the 'Glass Ceiling'

I think the term 'glass ceiling' has some implications regarding supressed corporate advancement or 'advancement opportunities for women'. Uh, oh. Now I sound like a feminist. Alan Alda's a feminist. I think he said that on Johnny Carson, or was it Letterman?

Anyway Baccara on Soi Cowboy has a glass ceiling on the ground floor, so patrons can look up and see a whole different kind of dancing upstairs, while

'Memorable' - Lollipop

'What a tangled web we weave...' Here pictured is a kind-hearted (and beautiful) woman. And yet, ingenuous, nee-inexperienced as I was, I became the 'victim' of a misconception perpetrated against this altogether wonderful individual. It's the stuff of Victorian melodrama.

Dragonlady

"All men are pigs!" I don't think so; no more than all women are 'bitches'. I've never even said such a thing to a woman. Maybe I should be less inclined to put women on proverbial pedastels, but the whole world has gone to 'Hell in a Rocket-sled', and 'bad-attitude' women are definitely part of the problem-rather than part of the solution.
I was lucky enough to have had a great physical encounter with this

Coffeeshop Millionaire - Really?

Hello Readers-

I saw what began as one of the slickest presentations ever, and realized that in the best interests of my readers I should 'take the plunge' and buy it to report my responses with some basis in firsthand experience.

I listened to the pitch and then wasted about an hour listening to the promos for upsells 'shimmying' from $297 to $147, plus another $197 for coaching. Yeah, coaching on how to be a 'shmuck' (pardon my N.Y. slang), Ryan Deiss's and Mike Filsaime's praise

Vai became interested in the guitar through the likes of artists like Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, and Alice Cooper, and as a teenager starting high school, took lessons with an older student, Joe Satriani. Playing in several local bands, Vai quickly developed a style on the instrument, and by the age of 18 was

I've known this woman for years, and still think the world of her. Out of respect for her current living arrangements, I will refrain from any erotic enumeration here. Just when the 'know-it-alls' bust out with the 'lowdown' on Thai women, the only really sensible advice is: "Think for yourself."
We met in a bar on Soi Cowboy in 1999. There were more than a few sparks triggered instantly. I was, however, in Thailand with a contract from a publishing agency to provide images of sex workers in Southeast Asia, and needed to meet as many women as possible.
