Earth Mother to MILF

Is the modern day MILF a mere phenomenon. Is the erotic episiotomy and sexy caesarean scar what men want. Is birthing and breastfeeding a bonus in bed for the boys. Well in Dolores’ new unmarried life the answer is YES.

At age 41, oops, we mean “new 30’s”, after being monogamous for 17 years and birthing 3 kids, Dolores is single and strutting her stretchmarks in the city.

Dolores says the key to a fun and young out look on life “use your left over breast milk for a facial” For all you romantics out there , this is a separation story set to inspire.

Separation isn’t easy, IT’S FUN! Dolores pulled the pin on 17 years of marriage, monogamy and household boredom. From placenta recipes to marital redundancy packages, ardent lovers to toy boys. The story of a sassy hippie with a gold card who found a condo for her djembe and swiped her way thru singledom and a sexy city change!

“able to keep the audience hanging on every word and keep them laughing through out” groggy squirrel
