Yes, and it looks like it worked. Now, I can get long winded in the stories and save myself writing the even longer winded play-by-play, stroke-by-stroke commentary on the proper way to brush teeth. Was going to stick that one in the "What's Stuck in your Teeth" thread.

As I sit here at my desk piled high with dictionaries, the top one opened to the word diablerie, dressed in an orange sweater and Levis; perfectly creased, I'm thinking, no, nothing else to tell.
Well, there is that one thing, but...smile.

I just don't have a fetish. I don't think my bike is one.
I feel so hollow.

Messing around downtown today, waiting for Little Xena to get done with a Girl Scout function, and I had time to kill. Hey! The used bookstore reopened; the owners returning from Florida.
I found a 1912 Webster's. The leather cover is quite damaged and I wonder if the public library's book repairing lady can fix. Cool thing in the Preface, bragging this dictionary contains "...words of the latest coinage, such as Radium, Automobile, Wireless Telegraph, Liquid Air, and X-Rays." Then in the back a whole section, A - Z, of these "new" words.
I like this one a lot.
Gabbin...british novels? Virgina Wolff?

I found these glitter/gel tattoo pens yesterday--quite by accident---& had intentions of adding them to #2 daughter's birthday grab bag. They are always drawing & writing on everything--& yes, we had to go through the whole ordeal about why you don't use Sharpies for body art. Anyway, I had to try them out to make sure they were safe & all & after the beautiful designs that I put on the back of my own hand, decided that maybe ILB would like some body art too......let me just say it was addicting...I started out with just a small heart right "around" her bikini line somewhere & ended up with this beautiful design that went from hipbone to hipbone.....mmmmmm.... It was fun for both of us & we have decided to keep the glitter/gel tattoo pens for further fetish-like behavior....after all, practice does make perfect & with such an enticing canvass to practice on.....well, who knows how good I may get at this.....

Very cool...Have you tried Henna? Good stuff there if you can get a good design or theme. But waiting for it to dry can take awhile.

Did you know that Betty Boop was originally drawn as a dog with sexy legs? I thought it fitting.

My obsession for old books reared its head again today; with the return of spring the used book store reopened after closing for the winter.
Aside from those old dictionaries I collect, there is no rhyme or reason to what other books catch my eye. Today I bought "The Wit and Humor Library"; ten volumes, (missing Volume One), alternating between the works of British and American humorists. Published in 1917, they're in amazingly good shape; the red cloth covers barely worn at all. And only a dollar a piece!

I dont if this counts as a fetish but I buy or look at ankle bracelets every time I go into a store.

Maybe a small fetish, yinyang: a fetishteeni. Ewww, I hurt my noodle on that one; it's pasta the time I should be in bed.
I've thought about getting ankle bracelets. Because I work outside all day, I get weird tan lines in summer - a definite tan line cutting off my ankle from my foot where my sock hits. It looks funny in shoes other than tennis shoes, or when I'm at the beach; white ankles and feet with tanned legs. An ankle bracelet might make the line less visible....or probably draw more attention to it. I haven't figured out which yet.
I like necklaces; tiered necklaces with intricate patterns of silver or fool's gold interspersed with pretty colored beads, some cut like tiny gems. I own quite a few of them and just added to my collection. I rarely wear them though, and need to start putting them on more often; they are a b!tch get the dust off of when the bunnies take control.

Just a few of my pleasures: watches, even ones that don't work....pens - I usually have a dozen in my purse at any given time, and jealously guard a particularly good one...toads - if we spot one in the yard, I almost always try to capture it, just for a minute...chickens, real and not...rain - I would enjoy living in a rainy climate. I never tire of it....the smell of a boot shop...packaging up surprises to mail to my nieces...old movie theaters, especially abandoned ones ~Siren

So you're the one, Siren! Pens: there will be ten or so of them on the counter at work; I leave to go outside and help a customer, and when I return there is not a single pen to be found. It's the same thing sitting here at my desk. I've got my stick Gams mug full of pens....or it's supposed to be. I put them in there, I swear, but they always seem to disappear.
My big Mom's purse is a Bermuda Triangle of Pens like the washing machine is the Bermuda Triangle of Socks. Things just seem to vanish without a trace around here. I live in a mysterious world.
I can relate to the fascination of watches. I don't collect them, but can remember as a kid stealing into Mom's room and spending what seemed like hours going through the top drawer of her dresser where she kept my grandmother's jewerly. I never knew my grandma; she died before I was born; but she must have been a collector of things too: fancy pins, braclets, rings...and watches! She had gobs of gorgeous watches. They were more like pieces of jewerly than functional timepieces.
I was in a boutique the other day and I saw a display of watches that reminded me of grandma's. I thought about it...but purchased a necklace instead. I've got enough collections; I don't need to start another.

Gams, in college, I worked at a video store, in the days where we wrote out the orders by hand. I would cap my pen and stick it in my pocket to keep my co-workers from swiping it. Still have that habit to this day. It pains me greatly if someone asks to borrow a pen. I watch like a hawk till they return it.
Is there a pen addiction support group?
Gams, your granny's jewelry reminds me of my mom's jewelry box. As a small child, I went through it all the time, trying on her rhinestone earrings and pretty costume jewelry rings and hair clips. I wonder where that box is now? I need to ask.
Oh, another little something I enjoy: buttons. I've been known to buy a blouse just because the buttons are pretty. My mom used to have a large jar full of buttons of all kinds. I would sit and sort through them, and run my fingers through them like they were jewels or coins. Loved them!

Siren, ironic that you would bring up buttons; I was just thinking about my Mom's button jars the other day, and wishing I had them. Looking through a magazine, there where pretty pictures of all kinds of cool things to do with vintage buttons, and I briefly entertained the idea that I too, could be creative. Pfft. Yeah, right. I used to love to let them run through my fingers too; that I can do.
Yinyang, you didn't say. Tight leather pants: wearer or watcher?

Definetly the watcher ! Theres just something about a pair of tight leather pants.

I'm more of a nice fitting, faded pair of jeans - not too tight; just right - type watcher. Too tight jeans and tight leather pants remind me of eighties glam bands. Unless it's Matrix-style leather of course, then Mmmmm.
Another fetish fix today - picking out stuff being thrown away - mostly wood furniture than can be refinished; you wouldn't believe some of the stuff I've got in my house that people were throwing away. My kitchen table, I think is one of my favorites - a six foot solid slab of oak with a drawer underneath. A bit scarred and beat up but it adds character. Hubs just lightly sanded and put a clear sealant on it, and it's perfect. And it's fun - and big enough - to strike a seductive pose across.
Recent finds - a wooden picnic basket that I think I'll use for a flower planter, and today I found this thing - I don't know what it is exactly - it looks like a small step stool with a small drawer under the step part. It fits perfect on my desk, on top of my wooden mail slot divider thingy, (another cast-off). My dictionary slides in nicely under the drawer, and on top I can pile even more stuff even more precariously higher than it already is.
One day, I swear I'm going to clean off this desk. It is kudzuishly threatening to take over the room again. A clean, uncluttered desk is definitely not a fetish of mine.
