I received a startling amount of admiring male attention. Foolishly, I accepted medical advice and an operation and reverted to my usual insignificance.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5902593574125143496.post-92104978145262454372008-10-31T03:46:00.000-07:002008-10-31T03:46:00.000-07:00I saw that one too CB1.

You're right: my best schoolfriend's mother was an elocution teacher and so he effortlessly acquired a deep sonorous voice and plenty of attention from the girls, whereas I sounded like Kenneth Williams on helium and so kept sensibly quiet. My voice has now deepened to tenor so I can at last attract something, albeit only stray dogs. I see that Felicia is still in the picture - do keep us informed!Gadjo Dilohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08998278830936531990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5902593574125143496.post-54579764200727337042008-10-30T17:23:00.000-07:002008-10-30T17:23:00.000-07:00The Tenor wows them, but the Baritone takes them ...The Tenor wows them, but the Baritone takes them home!susan s.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03679099677585214433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5902593574125143496.post-27492167220552050952008-10-30T15:58:00.000-07:002008-10-30T15:58:00.000-07:00I must agree with the dear dears, that a sexy voic...I must agree with the dear dears, that a sexy voice is a very attractive attribute!Suburbiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05352465945711496612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5902593574125143496.post-23312678946594129562008-10-30T15:15:00.000-07:002008-10-30T15:15:00.000-07:00Surely the fumes from gloss-painting a few window ...Surely the fumes from gloss-painting a few window frames would only enhance your chances?
