Hey, Iam, what are you trying to do? She has less on right now, and having her put on that teddy would be putting more clothes on, and that would be a bad thing.

Yes, I am Irish, and German. And a bunch of other stuff. But I woke up 1.5 hours ago and cannot remember how to type them. If you want to come over here, though, I’ll tell you what you get when you cross an Irishman, a German, a frog, a toad and . . . wait, wrong joke.

Just come over here, Sunshine, you bundle of beauty 🙂 Just you. No need to bring those clothes . . . they do so get in the way, don’t you agree?

If anybody needs me I’ll be showing Sunshine which parts are which on me.

Hmm…I am starting to get a little wrinkly from being in the hot tub too long. I’m gonna go rinse of in some fresh water. Where’s the bathroom. Anyone wanna join me in the shower, to help me wash my back? And then of course, I’ll need to have some lotion rubbed on my skin to keep it soft…

Michi,  
I don’t know. Between Sunshine and sss…there’s not a lot of room for the rest of us. 😉 They’ve got it going on pretty good.

It’s getting pretty graphic over ChrisP’s way…I think the hot tub is OCCUPIED.

Maybe after your shower I can fix us both up with one of those magic teddies like I brought Sunshine…seems to be working for her. 😉

Damnit, I means "which parts are Irish . . . "

Well, no I didn’t, but it would have looked way cooler. Sunshine, for the moment we’ll pretend you don’t live a two days’ drive away from me. Come on over here and let’s figure that out . . . what parts are Irish and if they’re lucky 🙂

Sorry ladies, but I work best one-on-one 😉

Magic teddy, huh? OK, I look best in red. And i also have a pair of six inch heels I can wear. Hmm…I better have someone give me a Brazilian wax if I am gonna be wearing a teddy. Now, I would invite a man to help me with that, but I don’t think a man could stomach it. Strutter, can you lend a girl a hand?

_Cheffie walks in sans pants (thank god for the apron) and surveys the bedlam_

Any more room in that hot tub? Michi, it’s time you gave in to fate and let me fill your ear with sighs and anxious whispers delivered in a slow…steady…rhythm…

Sunshine, here’s my gift to you.

Well, Chef is here now, maybe he brought a fondue pot.

And Chef, as soon as I am back from my waxing, I’m all yours!

Good God. What’s a girl to do? It’s these damned teddies. They’re like magic…for everyone else. That’s it. From now on I’m selling the stupid things.

I better get busy or they’re going to strip me of my title. 😉

OOH! Karaoke! Any Sinatra on the list?

_singing to Michi in a deep, resonant baritone_

"Those fingers in my hair  
That sly, come-hither stare  
That strips my conscience bare…  
it’s witchcraft…

And I’ve got no defense for it -  
The heat is too intense for it -  
What good would common sense for it do?

‘Cause it’s witchcraft  
Wicked witchcraft…  
And although I know it’s strictly taboo…  
When you arouse the need in me  
My heart says “Yes indeed!” in me  
Proceed with what you’re leadin’ me to…

It’s such an ancient pitch  
But one I’d never switch  
'Cause there’s no nicer witch than you…"

_Watching a swooned Michi being carried away to recover_

Struuter, darling, come to me and let me croon to you. (BTW, I happen to have a fondue pot that someone left in “Ask Bi Guy” that you could use to melt the wax)…

_Sings to Struuter_  
I’ve got you…under my skin  
I’ve got you…deep in the heart of me  
So deep in my heart that you’re really a part of me  
I’ve got you…under my skin

I tried so…not to give in  
I said to myself, “This affair never will go so well…”  
But why should I try to resist when, baby, I know so well  
I’ve got you…under my skin

I’d sacrifice anything, come what might  
For the sake of havin’ you near  
In spite of that warning voice that comes in the night  
And repeats, repeats in my ear

“Don’t you know, little fool? You never can win!  
Use your mentality…wake up to reality!”  
But each time that I do, just the thought of you  
Makes me stop before I begin…  
'Cause I’ve got you…under my skin.
