Adventures in Dating By Gigi Flores and Helen Obispo

Music is as important to Jean-Claude as it is to Gigi. They spent one afternoon texting songs to each other, and then listening to them on youtube.com. Jean-Claude told Gigi that music is a very important part of his life, and he loves lyrics as much as Gigi does… yet another thing they have in common. He loves to dance too, so Gigi cannot wait to take him out on the town, and dance the night away. He can even salsa dance… oy vey!!

Felix Davis shared a lot with Gigi this week to help out with the blog, and Gigi is so grateful about this. Felix is a wonderful local poet, and Gigi is helping him edit his poems so that he can put together his first book of poetry… with over 100 poems, I think this is an excellent idea. His poetry is deep and meaningful, thoughtful and sensitive, and appeals to both men and women. Favorite Romantic Song #27: Felix’s choice – continue reading…

Christopher Jones is one of the local poets whose poems I have posted on our blog. He writes beautiful poems, and quitre sensitive ones for such a young man.

Angela Nichols is one of Gigi’s favorite local authors, and she writes a great short story series called “If the Penguin Were Female” loosely based on the Batman stories.

This week’s favorites go to one of my youngest son’s Shane’s favorite teacher ever. He was in her class for 4th grade, and Gigi and Susie taught together in the same school for a year. She would call Gigi “Sparkles” because of her extrovert and extravagant way of dressing, saying that it wasn’t fair that Gigi could get away with it, simply by being the Spanish teacher… lol Favorite Romantic Songs #23: Susie’s choice – continue reading…

Dimonique, a poet friend of Gigi’s shared an old nightmare date of hers this week, and also some of her favorite romantic things. She didn’t have any classic favorite poems to share (she just began reading the old classics), but many of her favorite poets have some of their poems on our blog. As for a favorite song, Dimonique said that it changes constantly, but has held strong for over a year now. Favorite Romantic Song #22: Dimonique’s choice – continue reading…
