she smolders 2008-09-20 ch 1,	abuseI really wasn't ready for the wave of emotion I felt after reading the last verse. The imagery was just gorgeous and oh so sad. Take care.
the.pink.life 2006-07-25 ch 1,	abuseHoly...Wow. That was amazing. I can't believe I hadn't reviewed this yet. I just found it in my inbox and was pretty excited to read it. Your alliteration in the first three lines makes me happy. :) I love alliteration, and with something like "sunset-shoulders"...m, I like. "vanilla cigarette smoke" - I love love love this idea. I can actually TASTE it. It's delicious. "sucked up in sequin's falling/off one by one like acid rain" - Wow, the imagery here is completely fantastic. Blown away. And the way you end this..It's slick and sexy and I love it and am favoriting this. Gorgeous. Keep writing! :)

mostly water 2006-02-17 ch 1,	abuseChrist, this is beautiful & excellent. "I raise my skirt way pastthe horizon of my dignity" I ** love it. =\|
the naked civil servant 2006-01-14 ch 1,	abusehow surreal. i loved "i raise my skirt way past the horizon of my dignity" - it really conveyed desperation + wanting to please + measuring up and everything, but just missing that... glamour. beautiful.
The Watched 2006-01-10 ch 1,	abuseEvery time I say this, it feels like it's losing a little bit of power, and yet it's always as true as the first time I said it: This is beautiful. Just that. It's melancholy and somehow light all at the same time; it's beautiful and raw, it's...It's quite amazing, to be honest. And I love the title. And the line "her cut-out-and-keep manicured hand". Just one thing, though (and this could just be me reading it wrong) I think in the second stanza, "sequin's" should be "sequins"? Although I could just be misinterpreting it, I suppose.
reluctant writer 2006-01-09 ch 1,	abuseGreat imagery in this. [I raise my skirt way past/ the horizon of my dignity] Very clever. Expecially the ending.

London Jansen 2005-12-04 ch 1,	abusethat was probably the darkest/sexy piece of writing I've read this week.
Gilee7 2005-11-30 ch 1,	abuse-hush of heads spiralling to see- I'm pretty sure that "spiraling" should only have one 'l'. There were so many lines that I love. The imagery was excellent and the descriptions magnificent. Some of my favorite lines: --"dancing through the air/like the vanilla cigarette/smoke she breathes on Fridays" -- I usually think of cigarattes as dirty and disgusting and very unbecoming, but you made it seem beautiful and sexy and not nasty. Nice job. --"I raise my skirt way past/the horizon of my dignity/and gulp down vodka and/packets of chewing gum/patching it up clumsily/with French perfume"-- Okay, I basically just pasted that whole second stanza, but I love all of those lines so much. Especially the skirt bit with the "horizon of my dignity." And French perfume totally makes me think of a . -"but you're already pushing myhead down,"- That's dirty. Oh at least I think it is. Maybe I just think way to sexually, but "" IS in the summary. This was a very good poem. It's been awhile since I've read any of your other ones, but I think this might be my favorite by you. As I said before, the imagery was astounding. The descriptions were unique and clever. I'm very impressed. Excellent job.
