Hello,
it is i, tha Lynx
i am a creature dressed in black whom you met ourtside of a tattoo shop in Austin.upon my returning to my cave, the words "Here kitty kitty" popped into my mind meats. And not because i have cats.a quick google search revealed a number of your articles and an eventual link to here.
I do belive you have made a fan of me.
your bit on the language of flowers and their complexities beyond gang hand signs was refreshing to say the least. And i loved... LOVED "Pirate Daddy's"
i look forward to perusing more of you musings, and who knows, maybe i'll find a copy of your book.
drop me a line while you're still in austin, or anytime fro that matter.
Lynx_loveletter@yahoo
your words are... stark and enchanting. hope to hear from you.

That girl from Florida, what no "heart of gold" did she have? I think you got it right with (and also cases like) her.

from the male perspective: the 5th category - how about human being. or, to narrow it, woman, and if more is nec, try individual. "slut" doesn't exist. as for the jerk who "owns your ", with proper grooming, he might aspire to something, like small town jailer.

Jardine seems to hit the nail on the head with dating... it seems like the men are johns and the women are hookers. It creates a transactional, not a romantic atmosphere. It's why I like dating Europeans... they don't seem to dig the whole hooker/john scene. Not that there's anything wrong with prostitution... it just is out of place when you are looking for an emotional connection, I think.

Wow. You've put into words so many things I have felt but was unable to articulate. As one who has decided to take the urge to its (possibly)logical conclusion, ie. become: "a woman devoted to men, to pleasure, to giving men pleasure, to making beauty out of art, to making an art of beauty.... to picture myself devoted to devotion. That's more of a taboo these days than most sex acts I can name", I can honestly say that yes, you can become this, and live the life of a strong woman and thinking person and whore with all the tensions these imply. However, it's really fucking difficult.

I knew you would keep it real and write a book one day. I can't wait to read it! I read your old short stories from time to time and marvel at how good they are. I'm keeping my eyes out for you in Brooklyn.

the four highschool types.. ha ha, so true! i hadn't thought of it in
foucaultian terms before though, thanks for that (that's what the anonymous categories legacy made me think of) .
paid to love is a blurry/painful unavoidable set of issues.. always a pleasure to come across one of those 'things that i knew but hadn't been able to consciously articulate' kinda writings.
merci.

Hi!
I'd really like to contact Jardine Libaire. Or maybe she can contact me: autumn@brooklynbellydance.com.
Any way this feedback forum thingy can connect the two of us?

Without a doubt, one of the most thoughfully woven pieces I have come across recently. I don't believe there is a single woman out there whose own thoughts do not resonate somewhere in these words.

Very insightful, very believable. I would be proud to have written this. Oh, and--speaking as a man--if a man ever says he owns you, kidding or not, take his genitals in your fist and dig your fingernails into his testicles until he begs your forgiveness.

I liked it. It felt honest unlike some of the junk you read here like "Skull".

"An intelligent and insightful article that resonates in the mind long after you indulge in its sexy and horrifying taste. Kudos to all involved in this Nerve masterpiece and Bravo to this lightening rod of a sex and wit embodied by a Ms. J-Li LiBaire."

Dear Nerve,
Jardine Libaire's essay was evocative, and rife with the not-quite-breathable atmosphere that imbues the glittered world of the big city hotel bar late, (too) late in the evening.
"There is strength in owning every possibility fate could enforce, in knowing thine enemy and keeping it close"
These, surely, are words to live by as we navigate the vagaries and shadow worlds of love, desire, and the taut tendrils of expectations, met and unmet, understood and not.
I look forward to exploring her work. Please pass along my appreciation.
Cheers,
Kevin Wells
