Nunca usaba mucho maquillaje. Supongo que nunca lo necesité realmente. Los chicos parecían acudir a mí de todos modos sin él. Esperaba que fuera así también esta vez. "Por supuesto que sé lo que estoy haciendo", Brenda dijo bruscamente. "Hice el maquillaje de Kari la última vez. Y ella no se quejaba”. Me reí. "De acuerdo. De acuerdo. Lo siento. Simplemente no quiero parecer una prostituta o algo así. Y definitivamente no quiero que este tipo tenga ideas y me manosee”. Dio los toques finales a la máscara y retrocedió para admirar su obra. "Maldición, soy buena", exclamó, aplaudiendo. "Te ves bien, chica". "Genial", dije con el ceño fruncido. Justo lo que no necesitaba. "¿Puedo mirar ahora?" Brenda giró la silla para que yo estuviera frente al espejo. Apenas me reconocí. Guau. ¡Yo estaba caliente! "¿Qué piensas?" Levanté lentamente la mano y toqué mi mejilla, cuidando de no arruinar su duro trabajo. "Me gusta", le dije en voz baja. "Pero no puedo salir luciendo así. Solo estoy tratando de que la marca me note. Eso es todo." Ella sonrió. "Oh, él te va a notar bien." Hice una mueca. "No necesito ese tipo de atención. Solo necesito acercarme lo suficiente para obtener la información que necesitamos para derribarlo. No estoy interesada en atraerlo”. Brenda cerró su kit de maquillaje. "Lo que sea necesario para entrar", dijo. Su mirada se posó en el sobre manila en la mesa frente a mí y lo recogió. "Maldita sea. ¡Está caliente! "Ella silbó suavemente mientras escaneaba su foto. "Dang. Casi desearía

Mama Gena's Marriage Manual
by Regena ThomashauerSo, you found yourself a man. You owned him, you operated him, you dragged him back to your cave and married him -- and now you can't remember why you wanted him! Not to fear, because celebrated relationship expert Regena Thomashauer has returned, ready to turn the walking, talking, care-taking coma that is your marriage into a hot, juicy celebration of love and life Have you ever felt that your daily responsibilities are taking a toll on your general enthusiasm, your desire for intimacy? Or that you need to ask your husband for permission before you go somewhere or do something? Or that you find yourself angry at him for no real reason? You may be suffering from the Good Wife Syndrome. The Good Wife Syndrome is a common malady characterized by an unnatural drive to sacrifice yourself, organize your married life around your husband's needs, and then blame your bewildered husband for your profound unhappiness. Mama Gena's Marriage Manual is here to remedy your condition by administering a simple yet tremendously effective antidote: fun. Yes, that's right, fun. Mama Gena wants you to throw out your preconceived notions of what marriage should be and allow yourself to construct a marriage based on your own personal gratification. Because whether it's enjoying a great cup of coffee, taking the day off work, or having great sex, when a woman indulges her desires she inflates her feminine power and has an uplifting effect on everything and everyone around her. To help you on your quest to revive your marriage, Mama Gena suggests a radical idea: that the community of women around us (the support system she calls our Sister Goddesses) has a greater influence on the outcome of our relationships than the partners we choose. Women's desires can turn dreams into reality, and when women get together, their power multiplies exponentially. Mama shows you how to harness that power and channel it into the daily acts that benefit your love life. She includes dozens of exercises to help you and your Sister Goddess girlfriends focus on fun, praise yourself daily, let go of anger, and learn to appreciate the men you have. Then once you've started practicing these new behaviors, Mama trains you to train your husband -- to communicate without rancor, to welcome his point of view, to reinstate the practice of lust, and much more. Mama Gena wants you to throw off the shackles of the Good Wife Syndrome and enjoy a marriage that's free of guilt, blame, and obligation. Mama Gena's Marriage Manual will help you craft a partnership that enables you to do more, have more, and be more than you could ever be on your own.
Mama Gena's Owner's and Operator's Guide to Men
by Regena ThomashauerHave you ever felt that finding a man, falling in love, and living happily ever after is totally out of your control? Is it possible to find a man who will be a friend and equal, but who will also do whatever you want him to do? And what can you do to make the man you already have give you everything you want? Never fear, Mama Gena is here with practical tools for a relationship that starts out good and only gets better. In Mama Gena's Owner's and Operator's Guide to Men, relationship expert Regena Thomashauer (a.k.a. Mama Gena) will teach you how to effectively "train" your man and create a rewarding and intimate relationship for you both. Mama's secret to success is simple -- and possibly scandalous -- but here it is: Men live to serve women. They live to make their women happy, because when the woman isn't happy, nobody's happy. The fact is that relationships function best when the woman's desires are completely fulfilled. In this book Mama Gena shows women how to throw out the old "survival model" of relationships (in which women serve men to get food and shelter) and take on her Sister Goddess model (in which men serve women to get friendship, sex, and happiness) instead. Creating a relationship that's all about the woman requires a basic understanding of a man's perspective. Mama reveals some shocking truths -- such as men are not mind readers, men like to be acknowledged, and men want to believe they're getting their way. These are fundamentals that women often forget, or don't know how to incorporate into their everyday lives. The Owner's and Operator's Guide will show women not only how to train their men, but how to train themselves as well. Mama explains how and why women have to pay attention to their pleasure and know what makes them happy: Why you have to give up control in order to get it. How you have to communicate what you want. Why you have to be honest. Mama offers inventive strategies for finding a man, getting him to help you make the life you want, having a great sex life, and dealing with resistance along the way. Full of the author's trademark candor and easy wit, this book is an invaluable manual for women in any stage of a relationship. You'll learn how to gain control of your own behavior, take the lead in your relationship, and work with your partner toward getting what you both want -- a great partnership.
