Halfway Out the Office Door

Today I took home my slinky from work.

I am cleaning off my desk one personal item at a time.

Yesterday it was my boys are stupid coffee coaster. The day before that it was my You Say I’m a Bitch Like it’s a BAD Thing desk calendar.

*18+ Only Please*

I'm Vix, a 28 year-old Texan. After 18 years of private education and 3 degrees, I'm trying to leave the corporate world behind to become a sex/humor writer and novelist. I'm sexy, funny, ugly, raw, and entirely real-- because there's more to me than being a blowjob queen.
