Envy
Martini
Why is it
that we are reluctant to try anything that is green? We
grow up trying to avoid green vegetables. Many of us dislike
wearing the color green because it is not good on our
skin tone. How often do you drink something that is green
that does not make you want to throw up? The Envy martini
will make you green with envy if you are the one not drinking
it. Sharing is martini is not recommended because it is
the one time that you are going to love drinking something
green.
My gal pals and I had spontaneously
arranged a late afternoon martini and chin wag. We had
gathered at our favorite martini/patio bar. This was a
great place to people watch, get the gossip and have a
killer martini. Our adorable bartender was excited; he
loved it when the girls gathered because he always got
to try a new martini. Plus, he always gained some great
new sex tip or piece of gossip. We usually like to share
and sample a few martinis but on this day, he insisted
that we all have our own Envy martini. This martini is
a mixture of Vodka, Midori, Frangelico and Peach Schnapps.
Add some lime juice and garnish this one with fresh blueberries
and you have a martini that invokes pure emotion.
The phrase “green with
envy” actual came from the Greeks, they believed
that jealousy was accompanied by an overproduction of
bile, lending a pallid green cast to the victim. Later,
great writers like Shakespeare followed suit, freely using
'green' to denote jealousy or envy. Perhaps the most famous
such reference is Iago's speech in Act 3 of Othello (here
everyone thought I just knew about martinis and sex.).
I brought up this interesting bit of trivia while we where
sampling our tasty martinis. This of course opened up
the flood gates to all the things that caused us to be
envious. Women are very interesting, (men would refer
to us as complicated or crazy) we always seem to want
what we don’t have. Women with naturally curly hair
would die for straight hair, women with naturally volupsious
breasts want a reduction and women that are petite want
to be tall. This theme seemed to apply to our sex lives
as well. It turned out that through the course of this
conversation, two of my girlfriends where both envious
of each others relationships. Wow! This was a huge! This
type of confession can starts cat fights but with these
girls it was all in good humor, besides everything was
sacred over the martini glass.
The envy was caused
over
“P.D.A’s
(public displays of affection) and P.S.S’s (public
sex sites).”
We all had to qualify
what was an actual P.D.A and P.S.S. There are three types
of P.D.A’s, 1. The obvious: hand holding, kissing
and arm around the shoulder. 2. The subtle: arm caresses,
leg rubs and back strokes.3. The over the top: tongue
kissing, swapping of saliva and groping of each other
that causes the comment “get a room”. The
definition of P.S.S’s: acts of a sexual nature performed
in a public arena, where the thrill of getting caught
enhances the intensity of the sexual experience.
e is a great
guy just not the great guy for The other one was married
with a baby and playing Mr. Mom. He was a nice guy but
she felt for his wife who now had two children to look
after. What amazed her about these encounters was that
they had brought up memories from the past; she had been
hurt deeply because both men had cheated on her. Somehow
it did not matter, enough time had past that she only
seemed to remember the good times and the valuable lessons
that she had learned. She was happy that they had both
found great partners and was delighted that she had not
ended up with either of them. This discovery made me think,
is it possible to be friends with an Ex?me!”he is
a great guy just not the great guy for me!”
“he
is a great guy just not the great guy for me!”
“he
is a great guy just not the great guy for me!”
