We get bombarded with all kinds of ideas about the way life should be.  Flawless 20 year old girls appear in ads for women my age, as if using just the right cream will unpack the wrinkly, brown bags under my eyes.  Or guys with six pack abs manage  to look that way after drinking a six pack with their buddies, surrounded by beautiful, boob-a-licious  girls.

When my fiance came over and found me wearing a black leather bustier, tall stilettos and a black, lace mask, he said, “You are THE woman of my dreams.  I love you and will love you forever and ever!”  Then we made passionate love all night long.

Then I shared my story:

When my husband came home I was wearing the black bra, black stockings, stilettos and a mask over my eyes.  When he came in the door, he took one long look and said…..

What’s for dinner Zorro?
