Bea, paint the den of pleasures red! There’s this really gorgeous shade called Ming. If passion had a color, that’s what it would be! You want Russ to get hot every time he walks through the door!!!

Much love,

Molly

Re: Birthday Toast

CLEMMIE!!! I’m toasting you and your Virginia by drinking champagne from a gold sequined evening pump!!! Do hire somebody to look after the boarding house for a week and COME TO MADRID! My guardian will be more than happy to get you a ticket. We’ll have a BLAST!

Besides, I’m DYING for one of the Dixie Virgins to meet Fernando. I’M IN LOVE!!! Janet, before you get your panties in a wad, he’s not a bullfighter. He’s this really cool, really HOT guy with an engineering degree and A CUTE BUTT! I’m thinking of breaking Rule Four!!! But don’t tell Kirk!

BIG HUGS!

Re: Celebrate

Clemmie, sweetie, pull out all the stops. You deserve it! Eat naked, dance naked, just don’t cook the cake naked. Grease might pop out and ruin Virginia. Get some champagne, too. Forget the shoe! Drink it from a condom!

Joanna, do NOT break Rule Four, especially not with a foreign guy you barely know!!! OMG, sweetie, don’t you know STD is rampant! Besides, every one of us swore we’d never give away for free what a man ought to have to slave for!

XOXO

is
this man, anyhow?

Re: Everything!

Oh, have a wonderful birthday, Clemmie!!! If I weren’t at Disney World with Reeve and the kids, I’d be right there celebrating with you! Molly, why don’t you call one of those hot guys you sent to my rescue when I was trying to get Reeve’s attention! That first one – I can’t even remember his name now – really made me feel special. Clemmie deserves that!

Joanna, are you really in love and or just lonesome because you’re so far away! Oh, I hope it’s love because that’s so amazing!

Bea, we’re going to stop by to see you and Russ while we’re in Florida! I want to see your new house and your grove, and the kids are dying to see your pets!

You wouldn’t believe how much time Reeve takes off from work now! He’s so relaxed and happy. We travel a lot – sometimes with Betsy and Mark, sometimes just the two of us. We call those private times our honeymoon getaways! Every one of them is as steamy and sexy and delicious as the first one. Now I’ve got Virginia smoking hot. Fortunately, the children are in their room napping, and Reeve rented a condo with a private hot tub. It has become one of our favorite places!!!

XOXO

Belinda
