New Additions to the
The Lion's Den Lexicon
Faux Fuchsian (rhymes with 'solution') - that which is of singular, striking, meticulous, colourful, and whimsical aspect
MaiTaition (rhymes with 'sensation') - of *mysterious background, perfect proportion, and regal bearing
*Den Intel Apparatus has uncovered new revelations (see below).
The Lion's Den wishes to bestow what shall soon be known as Fashion's most exalted honorific. the
Order of The Leopard, on
two most worthy ladies.
It was Faux Fuchsia who famously declared leopard her 'neutral' years ago and who was first to see the obvious and
suggest MaiTai don the jungle beast...and the rest is history.

The Magnificent MaiTai
demonstrating a perfectly executed 'MaiTai Shim' |
The Den bas been hard at work unraveling the fascinating mystery of MaiTai and it was in studying her legendary selfie pose aka '
The MaiTai Shim' ('Shim' being a frozen Shimmy) that gave us a clue that broke the mystery wide open. It isn't just any woman who has the, long, lean bodytype, and artistic grace to execute such a fabulous pose all while holding that alluringly enigmatic smile of gently pinched ecstasy. In fact were she to be born a few centuries earlier, it would be the
Mona MaiTai holding top honors at The Louvre. GSL's keen instincts told him to dispatch our Den Intel Apparatus to Moscow where our suspicions were confirmed. You see, our Darling MaiTai was formerly Maishka Taidova who defected from the Bolshoi back in the late '80s driving Yeltsin to drink.

With rightful honors now bestowed let us follow in Faux Fuchsia and MaiTai's elegant footsteps and see what leopard offers the rest of us

Leopard starts and ends with Faux Fuchsia and this is the highest form of compliance with her
commandment of "Thou Shall not undercushion!!!"

GSL & Little Sis (nearly 20 years my junior) who invited me out to Thanksgiving Dinner tomorrow. Technically,
she's a 1/2 sis and we've only recently reconnected after almost 20 years due to her recent
marraige and moving to a distant suburb. I love having a little sis!!! |
