LJ HOLMES PRESENTS: CHAMPAGNE AFTERNOON

On a frigging DARE!

I'm a busy adult, at least I am over the age society considers an adult...so how did I end up here, bubbling like Champagne,

in the very last place a respectable woman is supposed to be hanging her...okay I can't say

hat, because I haven't got a hat...and truth be told, I haven't, thanks to that damned dare, got much else either?



I'm honest, to a fault, and the image reflecting from the

mirrored walls makes me want to cringe. There was a time when I looked like

dynamite in a skimpy pair of

hot pants and bikini top.


It's true gravity

is NOT a woman's best friend, nor are the accumulation of

birthdates.

When I was a kid we whispered, quite cruelly, I now regret to say, about the length of Mrs. Kahler's tooth after she'd mounted that hill...

you know the one that says we're over the hill when we hit it.

Yep, that one...thirty.

I slid over that hill, trying not to advertise the fact ages ago. Well,



years IS an age isn't it?

Sadly, I remember the day I slipped into my first granny dress, went to school...college...after my divorce...braless...and

nobody noticed. What a wakeup call. Gravity had definitely arrived.

So how come I let myself be talked into this?

Oh, sorry, I haven't explained what THIS is, have I?

I maded the mistake of signing up for my psychology course with a prof who also teaches

Human Sexuality. Trust me on this...if you're an

over the hill woman, NEVER take a psych course from a professor who also teaches

Human Sexuality.

Before you know it, you'll find yourself here, on a dare, with gravity impossible to conceal.

Heaven help me,

if I make it through this, I'm transferring to another school.

Champagne Afternoon is being released on November 11, 2011 from the

champagne bubbles make her want to swirl down the drain and disappear forever where it is drained champagne goes?

Thanks. Now I must join my character in burying my

red-stained face. Oh the dilemmas we authors put our heroines through!
