Three's A Crowd

I'm casually dating this guy and we've always been a very adventurous couple. We've always wanted to try a ménage a trios but we just couldn't find the perfect third wheel. Then I met this hot girl from a model's night party and had some girl-on-girl action with her. I asked if she'd be willing to do threesome with my boyfriend and I, but she said she didn't like the arrangement. So, one night I asked her out. We went to a club; I asked my guy friend to go to the same club and pretend that we didn't know each other and that she was interested with my girl friend. They flirted with each other while I watched. We ended up having a threesome in his place. After an hour of having fun, while my girl was in the bathroom, my guy told me that we better get rid of the girl and enjoy the night together. So my girl friend and I took separate cabs, when she was out of sight, I went back to my guy's place and fucked the hell out of him until the next day. It was the best sex we've ever had. And we realized that maybe threesomes are a bit overrated. But nonetheless doing it was fun! The best part is my girl friend never found out that it was a set up.

ROYAL WATCH: Kate Middleton—Style “Fit For A Queen”

(The striking brunette dubbed by British tabloids as “Princess Waitey” and her prince prepare for the big announcement Tuesday)

I’ll admit it… like many girls in my generation, I had a little crush on Prince William, as a teenager. Charming, attractive, and classy, I think my admiration for Britain’s heir to the throne paralleled my mom and her friends’ admiration for JFK Jr. From the time I was thirteen up until I started college, I was probably one among millions of young women who actually believed, I had a shot at becoming a princess… and when a pretty, doe eyed coed from St. Andrews University stole his heart, mine was crushed… a little… okay, a lot! Like many girls, I thought, “who is this Kate Middleton?"

Being a college romance, I’m sure there are many girls who were right there with me, holding their breath to see if his royal highness would leave one commoner for another… but after a while, as my crush crashed, burned, and the teenage dream faded away, I grew quite fond of Miss Middleton. As her romance with Prince William blossomed, so did her style…

Through the eight-year courtship, Middleton has become a style icon, but looking good never came easy. In her early years dating Wills, royal watchers were critical of her appearance. Although naturally pretty, Middleton was often labeled by critics as “too common” for a prince.

Needless to say, she enlisted some help for a makeover. Under the guidance of British style-maven Leesa Whisker, Middleton, the belle of St. Andrews University, developed a clean, conservative style fit for royalty, and captured worldwide attention. She has made several international best-dressed lists, including “Vanity Fair” in 2008, and “People Magazine’s Top 10 Best Dressed” in 2010.

Standing at 5’10” with sparkling hazel eyes, chestnut hair, and reported measurements of 30-23-33 according to one style source, Middleton’s eight-year courtship with the future king isn’t the only cause for envy among women. The English Rose is just about any stylist's dream come true.

Over the years “Team Kate,” has developed several signature looks that put a new millennium twist on royal tradition. So as the royal couple prepares for what may perhaps be the wedding of the 21st Century, let’s take a look back at some of my favorite looks in Middleton’s “style file”…

1) Evening Elegance

From clean coed to royal bombshell in a gunmetal silk Issa London gown. A black clutch and pumps complete the outfit.

2) A Royal Affair

One of her first public appearances with the royal family at the 2006 Sovereign’s Parade. I’m a firm believer that every woman should have one bright coat in her closet. Kate caps off British tradition in a custom made hat and smart leather gloves. She keeps the conservative look young and modern with her signature black suede boots, opaque tights, and clutch.

3) All That Glitters

Kate sparkles in a daring, black sequined mini-dress with her signature black suede boots showing off her long legs and svelte frame.

4) Smart and Chic

A contemporary twist to the jackets and dresses you would see at many wedding ceremonies for English Aristocrats. Kate pairs an electric blue silk cocktail dress with a fitted single button blazer and custom designed hat.

5) Iconic “White-Hot” Coat

Perhaps the most sought after item from Kate’s closet. A simple white, double-breasted wool coat, perfectly fitted with a swing cut, A-line bottom that allows the garment to hang like a dress.

With a look that’s prim, proper, but still young and contemporary, Middleton paints the portrait of a modern princess. The world may be watching as she prepares for her wedding, but there’s no doubt that the 28-year old icon is ready to assume her responsibilities in public life, and do it all—in style.

Middleton, like most girls, was not born of royal or aristocratic blood, but I think her story resonates with every girl who wants to believe in fairy tales. Some girls would be lucky to meet someone that treats her like a princess, but Middleton found a real prince, and shows all the single girls who lost hope in love that there can be a "happily ever after."

Priscilla Luong thinks once Kate marries into Britain’s royal family and has unlimited access to all the royal couturiers, she will need to clean out her single girl’s closet. If her highness decides on a public auction for the single, common girls who could use some of her shoes, wardrobe, and pure fabulosity… Priscilla will be first in line. If you plan to outbid Priscilla, or happen to find that gorgeous Issa wrap dress, drop a courtesy note at pluong@ktab.tv, she’s looking for one to wear on-air…

Texas Style: "These Boots Are Made For Walkin'"

Many of "y'all" know, I'm not from Texas but got here as soon as I could... and over the last two years, the Lonestar State has become home. With many gals in the KTAB newsroom coming from out of state, one of the first things we wanted when we arrived in the Big Country... was a pair of REAL cowboy boots.

I still remember the first time I stepped into a boot shop. A Texan friend knowing my lifelong affinity toward boots told me I had to stop by the cowboy boot mecca, Allen's Boots on South Congress.

I was amazed at the number of styles, colors, textures, and detailing that came with each pair of cowboy boots... it was like I bumped into Carrie Bradshaw's Texan cousin! Needless to say, I was overwhelmed and didn't know where to begin, so I did what my mother taught me... start with the pair you like best, and then check the price tag...

"WOW!!!! $1600!!!!!! REALLY?!"

Looking at the quality, and handcrafted leather, I knew the boots were certainly an investment, but the price tag was comparable to Christian Louboutins and Manolo Blahniks that I only plan to buy after I win the Megamillions Jackpot.

"Boy... I guess Carrie Bradshaw DOES have a cousin on this side of the Mason-Dixon line..."

After a few hours searching for a happy medium between "fabulous" and "frugal," I finally settled on a pair I loved and could afford, but you don't need a tank of gas and a pilgrimage to Austin if you're on the prowl for the perfect pair of cowboy boots...




Farm and Ranch Western Wear will have it's 2nd Annual "Deal or No Deal" Boot Extravaganza this weekend. All you have to do is choose any boot in the store's inventory, make an offer, and it will be either a "Deal" or "No Deal." And it's not just for the ladies... Men's and Children's boots are up for sale too. The sale begins Saturday, October 2nd, and ends Sunday, October 3rd.
