I like being a semi-helpless female, having a man take care of little things for me, but I could never live in the shadow of a man. I need to have input and some dominance in my relationship with a man. I need both strong and passive elements in my sexuality and relationships in order for them to work. I refuse to lock into a submissive or dominant role. So many of us get locked into traditional roles. The man is supposed to go mow the lawn. The woman is supposed to arrange flowers. Bullshit! If I can bring home the bread, and he's better at cooking and arranging flowers, then fuck it, that's fine with me. Once we drop these character roles and explore our androgynous nature more, we'll all be a lot happier. Show less «

Being accused of being a sex object is all right. It has to be in context, nurtured along with other aspects of our lives. But it's perfectly divine to be a sex object when it's part of the total picture -- when it's only one element of an otherwise well-rounded life. Show less «

[on her 14-year stint as publisher of "High Society" magazine] I started supervising layouts, shoots, writing a lion's share of the copy, including cover lines. I went out on the road and visited many of our wholesalers. There were 400-500. They in turn distributed to the retail level. I met with everyone from the truck drivers to the company principals. I examined bulk records to see how many copies an agency was getting. How many magazines they were returning. I did four to seven media interviews a day at times, depending on what "High Society" wanted to promote. Show less «
