What’s my craziest job? Well, you would think traveling the globe as Nuclia Waste would be crazy enough. But Holly Kyleberg, owner of the top floors of the downtown D&F Clocktower, hired me last Christmas for a holiday wedding reception up inside the clockworks. I was to play Mrs. Santa Claus, having guests sit on my lap, taking photos and telling me what they really wanted.
When it came time for the bride and groom to take their turn, they both got quite frisky on my lap. Not with each other – with me. Then they both invited me back to their hotel room for a ménage à trios honeymoon. I declined and continued to enjoy the rest of the night drinking champagne, mingling with the guests and being a ho, ho, ho. And to think I get paid to do this. I love my life.
My partner of 10 years has been gaining weight and it’s getting harder to stay sexually interested in him. I keep slipping these hints that I’m going to start working out or eating healthier, suggesting he could support me by doing it too. So far it’s not working – he just says ‘that’s great’ and stuffs another slice of pizza in his mouth.
There’s nothing like the perfect outfit to make you feel prepared. But that’s only possible with the addition of the right accessories – your look just isn’t complete without a little bling. OFC spoke with Shana Colbin Dunn, owner at Kismet, a cute Highland boutique, to learn what’s haute – and what’s not – for the upcoming fall season. Stop by this cute boutique in Highland for everything from scarves and handbags to hats and jewelry. The store also features a full charm bar where you can build your own personalized necklace.
Syrup is as Syrup does – that is to say, part of their charm is a unique flight of syrups to go with a mounded stack of pancakes. Obsessed with trying new things, I’m always eager to indulge: fluffy, moist, tender cakes topped with traditional maple, berry-licious medleys and apple-cinnamon sweetness draw out the child in me. And while it’s not the same as mashing still-hot sourdough pancakes into my mouth on a weekend morning back home, it’s warmly reminiscent of those very same days.
