Sex Goddess<\/strong><\/p>\n

By Maggie Estep<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am THE SEX GODDESS OF THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE<\/p>\n

so don’t mess with me<\/p>\n

I’ve got a big bag full of SEX TOYS<\/p>\n

and you can’t have any<\/p>\n

’cause they’re all mine<\/p>\n

’cause I’m<\/p>\n

the SEX GODDESS OF THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“Hey,” you may say to yourself,<\/p>\n

“who the hell’s she tryin’ to kid,<\/p>\n

she’s no sex goddess,”<\/p>\n

But trust me,<\/p>\n

I am<\/p>\n

if only for the fact that I have<\/p>\n

the unabashed gall<\/p>\n

to call<\/p>\n

myself a SEX GODDESS,<\/p>\n

I mean, after all,<\/p>\n

it’s what so many of us have at some point thought,<\/p>\n

we’ve all had someone<\/p>\n

who worshipped our filthy socks<\/p>\n

and barked like a dog when we were near<\/p>\n

giving us cause<\/p>\n

to pause and think: You know, I may not look like much<\/p>\n

but deep inside, I am a SEX GODDESS.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Only<\/p>\n

we’d never come out and admit it publicly<\/p>\n

well, you wouldn’t admit it publicly<\/p>\n

but I will<\/p>\n

because I am<\/p>\n

THE SEX GODDESS OF THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I haven’t always been<\/p>\n

a SEX GODDESS<\/p>\n

I used to be just a mere mortal woman<\/p>\n

but I grew tired of sexuality being repressed<\/p>\n

then manifest<\/p>\n

in late night 900 number ads<\/p>\n

where 3 bodacious bimbettes<\/p>\n

heave cleavage into the camera’s winking lens and sigh:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“Big Girls oooh, Bad Girls oooh, Blonde Girls oooh,<\/p>\n

you know what to do, call 1-900-UNMITIGATED BIMBO ooooh.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Yeah<\/p>\n

I got fed up with the oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh<\/p>\n

I got fed up with it all<\/p>\n

so I put on my combat boots<\/p>\n

and hit the road with my bag full of SEX TOYS<\/p>\n

that were a vital part of my SEX GODDESS image<\/p>\n

even though I would never actually use<\/p>\n

my SEX TOYS<\/p>\n

’cause my being a SEX GODDESS<\/p>\n

it isn’t a SEXUAL thing<\/p>\n

it’s a POLITICAL thing<\/p>\n

I don’t actually have SEX, no<\/p>\n

I’m too busy taking care of<\/p>\n

important SEX GODDESS BUSINESS,<\/p>\n

yeah,<\/p>\n

I gotta go on The Charlie Rose Show<\/p>\n

and MTV and become a parody<\/p>\n

of myself and make<\/p>\n

buckets full of money off my own inane brand<\/p>\n

of self-righteous POP PSYCHOLOGY<\/p>\n

because my pain is different<\/p>\n

because I am a SEX GODDESS<\/p>\n

and when I talk,<\/p>\n

people listen<\/p>\n

why ?<\/p>\n

Because, you guessed it,<\/p>\n

I AM THE SEX GODDESS OF THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE<\/p>\n

and you’re not.<\/p>\n
