Sexting 101: Do’s and Dont’s

sexting, sexting dos and don'ts, theindiechicks,

It is a digital age where sometimes foreplay, and even sexy time, takes place on the phone. Maybe your man travels for work or is in the military or maybe you’re just at work but the urge strikes to tell your man you can’t wait to see him later. Perhaps you and your guy can’t physically see each other, or you haven’t actually had sex yet and are building the tension. No matter why you decide to sext, it can be a lot of fun, if you do it right. Sexting means different things to different people. For some it might mean flirting, to others it means explicit text messages …Read More

My Boobs, My Army

20130516-212333.jpg

Imagine your breasts were your mini bodyguards. Or 2 of your biggest groupies. Your dwarf defenders. Your little Spartan warriors. Imagine, if at every moment your life, sanity, or general well being was at risk, your boobs popped out to defend your honor. Hey! Back the fuck up, DICK. Insert cat hiss. Only to retract when the coast is finally clear. What would your nippled army protect you from?   Happy weekend, little warriors.

Are you for real? Beware of the Catfish

How to use Image Reverse Search If you’ve been watching MTV recently you have probably seen the show or heard the word ‘Catfish’. If you haven’t then let me explain; I consider myself qualified to translate pop culture slang because I’m totes DTF with my swagger when I GTL, YOLO! OK, I’ll be honest; I have no idea what I just said. But I can tell you what a Catfish is; A Catfish is a man or woman who is not truthful about their identity when talking to others online. A few weeks ago I discovered I was chatting to a Catfish on a dating site, his name was Michael and he …Read More

Fake It Til’ You Make It

20130515-210650.jpg

Fake it til you make it. I used to cringe at this advice. What do you mean, fake it til you make it? Aren’t I supposed to be genuine? Honest? Transparent? Those words never made any sense to me, and I bet they don’t mean anything more than a cliche string of advice to you, either. It wasn’t until faking it was the only option I had that I realized something important: of all the advice I’ve ever gotten, I wish I would have listened to this one first. Fake it til you make it, it works. Dissecting fake it til you make it Let’s define the fake part The …Read More

My Lips Are Sealed: Brazilian Waxing Nightmares

It hurts to even read the title of this article still. Go ahead, reread it; it’s awful. Brazilian waxing should not be done at home and certainly not by a novice. So, let me rewind a bit and explain to you exactly how I waxed my labia shut and cursed up a storm at my own stupidity on my Saturday afternoon this past weekend. The Indie Chicks were contacted by Nad’s to try out their home Brazilian waxing kit and I figured, why not? They’d seen Kat’s piece on her Brazilian waxing experience at a Jewish Community Center and figured we would be interested. I let them know my address …Read More

Getting Married — at 40

happily ever after, love compatibility, marriage compatibility, theindiechicks, the indie dicks

This is the third of three articles I’m writing for my friends here at The Indie Chicks.  The series is about a dude (that’s me) getting married for the first time at 40 years old.  I recognize I’m not your average groom.  I have seen friends get married, had kids, divorced, remarried, had more kids and get divorced again.  Hey, it happens. Meanwhile I managed to fight off marriage temptations my entire adult life.  This is a good thing.  Some of the women I have dated turned out to be nuts.  And that’s saying something because I myself am a little nuts.  That all changed when I met my Lady Friend about four and half …Read More
