It’s my creative dumping ground and journal.  I post work from my photo projects, sketches from my notepad, and infographics from my research. Sometimes I write about my body dysmorphia but more often I post photos of my butt.  Your hair looks amazing today.
Anyway, thanks for reading my blog, I hope you enjoy it!</description><title>Noodles and Beef</title><generator>Tumblr (3.0; @noodlesandbeef)</generator><link>http://noodlesandbeef.com/</link><item><title>I wrote a plugin for Chrome that replaces anonymous tumblr...</title><description>&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/5e04bb95033e3ab7c151c011c13feb06/tumblr_mn9i47WSOj1qbbjkro1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;I wrote a plugin for Chrome that replaces anonymous tumblr people with strong female role models.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Results are hilarious.&lt;/p&gt;

I wasn’t really feeling the shoot. I think I need to do it over. Like, it’s a sport shoot and I’m just standing there. Lame.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Which photo should I use for September?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Option A&lt;/strong&gt; (top left) with my arms down&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Option B&lt;/strong&gt; (top right) with one arm up&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Option C&lt;/strong&gt; (bottom) with my butt hanging out&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;As always, please reblog with your selection, thank you!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I drove to a nearby abandoned military station.  The derelict concrete fort is a perfect backdrop for kinky-leathery-fetishy photo shoots, but wasn’t quite “football.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sigh.  Oh well.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Will try again tomorrow.  In the meantime, here’s the footballer outfit.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Someone told me this was the thing to do around here.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ahhhh!!!  AHHHH!!!!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He did &lt;a href="http://noodlesandbeef.com/tagged/dylanpose"&gt;the Dylan Pose&lt;/a&gt;!  And so beefily…I want to take advantage of his green-screen accent wall and super-impose him into my bedroom.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you’re new to tumblr, you sort of have to do &lt;a href="http://noodlesandbeef.com/tagged/dylanpose"&gt;the Dylan Pose&lt;/a&gt; to activate your account.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://noodlesandbeef.com/post/50764859212</link><guid>http://noodlesandbeef.com/post/50764859212</guid><pubDate>Sat, 18 May 2013 15:51:54 -0700</pubDate><category>dylanpose</category></item><item><title>So my original question was more rambly, but I'll cut to the chase this time: How does one go about finding a flag daddy, especially if you don't live in a "flag capital?" Are there other ways of getting into flagging? I find it beautiful and interesting and I'd like to try.</title><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img align="right" src="http://media.tumblr.com/2f2033be19dbc03963ba4ab447911bd1/tumblr_inline_mmykoa3KUo1qbqieb.jpg" width="200"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My flag daddy found me.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He came into my life when I needed him and left before I could get his number.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The flagging community is annoyingly low-tech.  There is frustratingly little information online about this world and everything I know was learned through word-of-mouth.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, there are a few active Facebook Groups you should follow:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/fitpsf/"&gt;Flagging in the Park SF&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/strong&gt; this is the big flagging group and series of parties for San Francisco.  Xavier chairs the tea dances and also co-teaches flagging classes every Wednesday from 8:30 to 9:30pm at Fitness SF SoMa.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/socalflaggers/"&gt;SoCal Flaggers&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/strong&gt; seems like a very active flagger group for folks in SoCal.  Seems there are also a few folks who make and sell flags for the upcoming Pride flagging events…hmmm.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/flaggers4you/"&gt;Flaggers USA&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/strong&gt; a little less active than the two Cali groups, but there are posts about flagging dances and events around America, some dances in NYC’s central park, Chicago, FTL…&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://noodlesandbeef.com/post/50670878289</link><guid>http://noodlesandbeef.com/post/50670878289</guid><pubDate>Fri, 17 May 2013 13:02:07 -0700</pubDate></item><item><title>If there is one rumor about you that you would wish die a painful death, what would it be?</title><description>&lt;p&gt;Rumors I’m not fond of:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“He’s a Latino masseuse who lives in Texas.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br/&gt; There is a guy in Texas who frequently uses my photos to advertise his services… I’ve had folks message me about massages. It’s annoying.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“He doesn’t let his partner have friends.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br/&gt; This one is painfully ironic, because my last two relationships were with guys who didn’t want me to have friends, and as a result I vowed to never do that to someone I loved.  Instead, I have always pushed pup to &lt;a href="http://carnenchiladas.tumblr.com/post/46363696464/this-is-in-response-to-my-rules-to-live-by-post"&gt;connect with his family and pursue friendships outside our relationship&lt;/a&gt;. Even if it means he sees the Star Trek movie without me.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“He’s a big, conceited, jerk.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br/&gt; This is ridiculous, I’m not big at all!  Nevertheless, I realize that &lt;a href="http://noodlesandbeef.com/tagged/rump"&gt;my overzealous attempts at seeking validatio&lt;/a&gt;n have &lt;a href="http://noodlesandbeef.com/post/25052877208/from-my-answer-to-what-does-it-feel-like-to-have"&gt;labeled me as a narcissistic exhibitionist&lt;/a&gt;…but, that couldn’t be further from the truth! I’m the most insecure person you’ll ever meet and a fierce friend when given the opportunity.  Can we get coffee please?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“He has a huge dick but doesn’t know how to use it.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br/&gt; Considering how &lt;a href="http://noodlesandbeef.com/post/29462143074/im-curious-about-your-sex-drive-i-just-get-the"&gt;few sexual partners I’ve had&lt;/a&gt;, I don’t know how this rumor started. The only feedback pup gives me in my &lt;em&gt;post-coitus survey&lt;/em&gt; is that I should use something more lubricating than spit. Hmm.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://noodlesandbeef.com/post/50661773161</link><guid>http://noodlesandbeef.com/post/50661773161</guid><pubDate>Fri, 17 May 2013 10:24:14 -0700</pubDate><category>questions</category></item><item><title>Oh, inner-Phil-bear-beef.

&lt;p&gt;Master cooked lobster last night , it was delicious, I ate three tails!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There isn’t a manlier cooking technique than flambe.  Especially when you cook naked.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Once cooked, I rendered bacon and ghee in the pan with minced shallots and garlic.  This was the dipping sauce.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Served over fava bean faux-risotto and caramelized brussel sprouts.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A bit too rich for me, but pup loves that kind of cooking.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://noodlesandbeef.com/post/50446050743</link><guid>http://noodlesandbeef.com/post/50446050743</guid><pubDate>Tue, 14 May 2013 14:39:29 -0700</pubDate><category>food</category><category>video</category></item></channel></rss>
