when I used to be with ugly people they'd have to come from doggy style.

why would they think I'm a hooker? I dress very conservatively.

I mean conversation starting, getting hit on.

did someone from Victoria's Secret approach you and ask if you wanted to work there as a model?

I don't think ugly people are told they are ugly very often, if at all. I'm just saying.

This is a shame. Many years back, I got pretty large. I was walking downstairs shirtless to get something in the morning. A roomate politely said "You should wear a shirt, dude." I lost a fuckload of weight in no time flat.

My parents unmercifully made fun of me when I came home fat from school, and presently insult my current haircut every chance they get, in front of whoever's around. Thankfully my father's obese and greying into a shell of himself, so I have the ace "You're not really commenting on howi look, are you?"

Nope. I am flesh-tone. I am also a natural blonde though so perhaps they just assumed I was stupid.

My best job ever was as a "locker room attendant" at an outdoor pool with a waterslide. This was either summers in highschool or college - I forget which, but I think college. I sat and sunned myself in a bikini* ALL DAY LONG and took about 2 hours worth of breaks every 8 hour day to go running or swimming or down the water slide. And when I say "breaks," I mean breaks from sunning myself in a bikini and occasionally moving my right thumb to "click" my counter of how many kids came through with pool passes sewn into their swimsuits.

*I was, of course, much thinner than ppnyc. Men stared at my tits without excuse of their wife having similar tits but merely because I myself have nice tits.

My best summer job ever was as a houseboat "attendant" at a houseboat rental park. People would come in and rent houseboats for a week/weekend and cruise up and down the many lakes and rivers around where I grew up. Anyway, the job description of an "attendant" included, I kid you not, the requirement to "entertain customers." This meant basically you could do whatever you wanted, including tooling around on a houseboat (all paid) with your best bud (also an attendant) and some cute customers. I cannot believe they paid me to drink and do drugs with the customers. I never slept with any of the customers, but my best bud (ho) did because she did not have a boyfriend. I was young and "in love" at the time, unfortunately.

To me, the definition of ugly, the epitome of ugly is these pasty faced wack assed ugly tourists streaming into the city, like 300 pounds, old, grey, wrinkly, permed hair, or dyed ratty short hair that brassy fake blond color, wrinkly dry skin, bad clothes, like knit pants, sneakers, fanny pack. I'm not like that. and I'm sorry I'm better than that. the bar is set a lot lower than me, honey.

I think they ask if they can bang you, and then tell stories about how they asked if they could bang you.

You guys are amazing. I hated, hated, hated, hated food service of any kind. I was a hostess at a fancy restaurant, a waitress at same fancy restaurant, served up yogurt in a TCBY or somesuch, and did a lousy 6 a.m. shift at a grocery store as a cashier during a summer or two in college. I particularly hated being a waitress, probably being prematurely snotty in preparation for my career as a transactional lawyer. None of those jobs lasted long. I chose to work at the cool record store in the mall for minimum wage instead, which meant I had no money, but my co-workers were interesting and I got to stock up on imports for cheap.

I'm with you on that. Food service sucks. People do disgusting things with ketchup. I worked at A&W for 6 months until one of the other car hops stole money out of my purse. The smell of grease never goes away. And I couldn't drink root beer for years after that. It's all they let you have for free (aside from the occasional french fry).

I also worked in a department store that is now a Macy's and it had a cafeteria downstairs. I was "department manager" and had to motivate 50 year old men to sell RCA TVs. Working in retail will make you hate Christmas and hate people. Those midnight sales are a killer.

I'm really happy that Minneapolis has no people like this, and does not get tourists like this. Where do they COME from I wonder?

Pretty people mating after doing too many drugs.

Hookers can dress conservatively. I used to waitress with a hooker. She dressed much more conservatively than I did. Hos come in all shapes and sizes and from all walks of life.

I think Banana Republic revamped their shoe line, and really 128 for shoes is fairly reasonable considering......I really want tall black leather boots. the nice mild weather considering.

Wait just a minute. I thought this was your preferred type of trainwreck.
