Ok, so, I was looking at the various stickers and things on the site that Seeker74 linked to, and I noticed that cherries are considered a sexual symbol. Specifically, two cherries joined at the top of their stems. I’m usually a fairly with-it kind of girl, especially when it comes to sex, but this is new to me. So, I turn to my SDMB brethren for information: what do the cherries mean? My first thought was “balls,” in which case it might be a symbol for gay men or something, but then it could also be an obvious symbol of virginity (maybe the deliberate kind?).
If no one in this thread knows, I’ll take it to GQ or IMHO, but I figured I’d start here before revealing my sexual ignorance to the entire board.
My god, vanity searches do pay off! If only I had begun them sooner, I might have found that pretty, pretty Harimad-sol thought so highly of me. I’m really surprised my name popped up here. I thought I was pretty invisible. Harimad, you completely rock, and not just because of this. I like your posts, I like your sense of humor; in short, I like you. (Now I feel like I ought to pass you a note, written in sparkly purple pen, that says, “Do you want to go to the spring dance with me? Circle one: Yes No.”)
I also have a total girl-crush on FaerieBeth. I see your posts and I go click happy. And your hair is absolutely gorgeous; it leaves me both jealous and in complete awe. You’d be a wonderful person to hang out with, whether at an affair of state or ice cream and a movie.
I’m so sorry your times are iffy. I hope things start looking up soon for you.
(And you can totally wear a suit. I’m wearing a dress, because you can’t wear open-toed shoes with pants and I’ve got a really kicky pair of '50s heels that need to be worn.)
Ooooh, Roland, I’ve been wondering where you’ve been. You are also the hotness.
I would post my crushes, but its way too risky. It seems like everytime I can envision a poster, based on what they say and their name and everything, the gender is ALL WRONG! And I don’t feel like barking up the wrong tree!
I just saw this today, so forgive the late reply! I just spent the past three days in murderously hot Hattiesburg, MS praying that a group of folks with laurel wreaths on their head would like my submission in Medieval cooking. I also learned how to cast pewter, but that’s neither here nor there…
I avidly read your posts Miss Purl, and I have thoroughly enjoyed our conversations on costuming! Your knowledge and sources rock! We should get together to organize some sort of Medieval Dope!
I don’t really talk with exclamation points all the time!
What? You & Maureen? She’s in California, near Monterey I think (could be completely wrong about that). I think she’s got a long distance thing going on for right now. With a guy, so I mean if you two could get into that, well, I’m sure I could get some vicarious crush action going on. Would that be wrong? Action by proxy?
I’d say the cherries represent the obvious: virginity.
