I just finished a story for the New York Times that will be published... tomorrow. It's a musical playlist in honor of Valentine's Day— "The Stages of Love: From Infatuation to Contempt."
I picked 11 songs... always like to turn my dial up to 11... and told a little story about each one of them, in my own life.
It was the most fun I've had on a freelance assignment in a long time!
Let's play a game, shall we?
If you can guess, before midnight tonight, ONE song that I chose for my playlist, I'll send you an autographed and kissed copy of my new book, X: The Erotic Treasury.
Each person can make up to FIVE guesses.
And if you can guess TWO or more songs from my list... holey cupid!
I will then up your reward by not only sending you an autographed book, but also the brown paper bag that I hand-wrote the story notes on when my computer died. I was on deadline, and i HAD to get that story down somewhere! It is a real objet d'art.
The clues are in the title, "Infatuation To Contempt." It's the story of a love affair, all the stations of the cross. Every kind of music is represented. It's probably best if you just think about the songs that haunted you during a tempestuous love affair, and we might find ourselves colliding into each other!
I would love to know what love songs leap to your mind. Even if you don't think you have a match with me, just GO FOR IT! I want to see your tunes. Post your guesses below!
I'll be checking all day long...
Your bloody valentine,
Susie
