Erotic Art and Dating Hilarity

June 4, 2015

Creativity and wit are huge turn-ons—but sometimes the humor is only in the hindsight.

Join August and special guests Aaron Johnson, a celebrated artist (who’s also her brother!) and Marla Martenson, matchmaker extraordinaire, as they explore their funniest dating memories, from dates-gone-wrong to the worst pickup lines EVER.

The episode also features blogging wonder Jenny Hansen and her friend, Claire, who call in with zany stories of their own.

    I just loved the show once more. (As for your question at the beginning: who would I rather to go on a date, a guy who’s very much physically attracted to me, a guy being successful in business or a brilliant artist? I’ve got all in one, lucky me. *grin*)
    As for the stories within the show: It really is hard to tell, but I think:
    K.C. Tansley, fact
    Amelia James, fact
    Holly Kammier, fiction
    M.G. Miller: fact

      Thanks for listening and playing, AJ! You deserve some virtual champagne for being the first to weigh in.

      So glad you’ve found a partner who sees your sparkle, and vice versa.

    What fun! Great stories, all. As for voting, the only one I saw as fiction was Amelia James; the other three I vote fact. I am quite intrigued by Aaron’s art, which he described perfectly. I did check out his links before I listened. I love the socks!!!

    Such a fun show all around! Thanks to everyone!

    The answer to my story is: It’s fact! But not for me. I added it into my book, Kingston Court, after my friend told me this story about her good friend. She created the seven strokes rule for her husband after twins were born. Poor guy
