No, you're thinking of the guy who rode his wax minotaur too close to the sun and had to sit forever more on the dock of the bay turning the siren on and off as the sailers rode by playing with their Trojans.

How disappointing.

Our furball doesn't scratch intentionally. I just worry about having little ones around with her inadvertant scratches when she runs and stuff.

The stripper question
 

It is easy to tell which women are attractive to men. They are the women that men look at when the woman walks by.

It is easy to tell which men are attractive to women. They are the men who have money and power.

RP,

You know, that's a very interesting question. I don't know how the that issue resolves itself.

MBA inspired question:
 

And he has fantasies about raping women. Get yourself to the psychiatrist, Slave, before you act on your sick thoughts.

I think that's just a cost of doing business - the kids will eventually learn not to chuck a mousie while fluffy is sitting in their laps.

FWIW, I have what can be generally described as a very mean human-shredding outside cat with gigantic claws who is allowed to play with the neighbors' babies (18mo and 11mo) because he is amazingly gentle with them - I think he just knows.

We tried to do this training, but it didn't work out the way we planned. We trained the dog fairly quickly to chase the cat when he scratched his favorite chair, and then soon thereafter we trained the cat to scratch the chair quickly and then bolt before the dog arrived.

Breasts
 

Those aren't natural. Those are anatomical-shaped implants placed over the pectoralis muscle. You can see the implant ridge in the upper outer quadrants of the breast. Dead give away.

Not all breast implants look fake. Many women have breast implants to reconstruct a breast removed by mastectomy secondary to breast cancer. Thus, the implant manufacturers came up with the anatomical-shaped implants that look saggy and real. Otherwise, there would be no way to make the reconstructed breast look like the breast that didn't have to be removed because of breast cancer.

Some women who are getting breast implants for cosmetic reasons (as opposed to reconstructive) still choose the anatomicals because they look pretty natural, like that model. They sag just like the real ones do, especially if placed over the muscle like that.

As long as you're not training your kid the same way. ("Little Ty, I told you no more cookies before dinner! - Attack, Fido, Attack!")

Sebby's Hypothetical Man Boobs
 

All this talk about plastic surgery, piercing and tattooing ignores the fact that a person ought to be able to do whatever em wants with em's body.

When I was a little amm, my mother always told me it was impolite to make personal remarks. Aside from the fact that this board thrives on personal (albeit anonymous) remarks, who the hell cares if Sebby has a coffee can full of quarters stashed away for lipo some day? Hell, if he wants to establish a paypal account, I'll kick in a few quarters myself.

As lawyers, we all ought to remember that how we look has a great deal to do with how we are compensated and whether clients want to work with us. Smarts aside, if you look like a dork you aren't going to make rain or get laid.

And, yes, I have a piercing. And, no, I won't tell anyone but Sebby where it is.

Strippers and Fake Breasts
 

On the subject of strippers...Not all strippers have breast implants. Some haven't stripped long enough to have saved up for them.

On the subject of breast implants...Does the "only strippers and sex workers have breast implants" axiom mean that Demi Moore is a sex worker? Lots of westside firms (used to) cover cosmetic surgery.

On the subject of bachelor parties...Your best man should only invite those who can keep their mouth shut to a bachelor party. FWIW, if the talent was in the industry down here in LA, then she'd likely be safer than the average clubhopper. Porn stars get tested regularly. Your garden variety skank doesn't.

On the subject of "Family Business"...After paigow confessed her desire to do the fashion-impaired porn producer/star, she should forfeit all right to judge anyone on any subject whatsoever, let alone decide such questions of conscience as "skanky v. classy."
