This issue of The Lovely Pink Diva is about Every Woman Needs A GBF in her life, what is your thoughts on that?
Hmmm.... Interesting question, Deanna. I must say, I've never been asked this before! I did have a very good gay male friend before I married ... the 1st time. Wonderful guy, thoughtful, lots of fun. He's my eldest son's godfather. I understand the appeal; gay men can be extraordinarily sensitive to a woman's needs w/o that sexual element added into the mix. Just so happens these days I don't have such a friend but certainly have no issue with it.
Editor's Note: Orginally Linda was to be in Issue 8 Getting your sexy back, due error on my part, her interview was omitted, she gave a wonderful answer to getting sexy back, that I want to share with you:
I believe being sexy is about being confident, about knowing yourself and believing in yourself. Sexy is about maturity, as well … not necessarily chronological maturity, though that naturally helps, but emotional maturity. I’ve recently gone through a bout with Lymphoma, which meant nearly six months of rugged chemotherapy, total hair loss, and all the not-fun, or sexy, issues which accompany that life-altering incident. The experience gave me a whole new outlook. I learned my outer attractiveness—which most definitely includes my sexuality—was directly infused by inner peace and understanding of how life moves in a natural flow. It’s hard to feel sexy when the vision looking back in the mirror is as bald as a tabletop, and everyone looks at you with a sad, knowing sympathetic smile. That forced me to find my sexiness in a new way. I realized if I approached people as if I WERE sexy—not relying on how they reacted to my looks—then, POOF!, I felt sexy. If I felt sexy, folks looked at me with more life and sparkle. Life, folks, is a matter of perception. If you perceive you’re sexy, and that perception comes from your inner self, not from your outer physical self … you will usually give off that persona.
