Yes, my dears, it’s that time of year when every gal pushes her muffler to her cheek and ponders what gifts to get loved ones. Don’t waste another moment on thinking — Hersteria is here to help!

For the newlywed couple, these prison jammies will remind them that they, too, will one day feel trapped in a loveless marriage!

Oooh, and here’s a little something… special… for the man of the house!

Lady Shot-Putters Need Not Apply
“The kind of men who make passes at athletic lasses and fall in love with lady shot-putters, weight-lifters, and broad-jumpers, are the kind of insecure men who, when you come right down to it, are not broad-jumpers themselves, and you can take that any way you like.”
.
.
How does that rhyme go again?
Boys don’t make passes at girls who run dashes — mostly because they prefer penises.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving, Dear Readers!
May you and yours have a lovely holiday weekend!

(I’m not even going to attempt to understand what’s going on in this picture.)

Please Pardon Our Mess
Hersteria is rather untidy right now.

Here’s a little somethin’-somethin’ to add to the Hersteria shopping list.
April Hussy of the Month
.
This high-flying hussy showcases her illicit talents, much to the delight of two onlookers, who eagerly grab at her cast-aside stockings and garters. The filthy footage of this month’s hussy is provided by Phineas, who seems like such a nice fellow otherwise.
The Fat, the Hairy, and the Conspicuous
“If Tubby and other late maturers suffer from being behind in their friends in their development, early maturers have other problems. Imagine how awkward and conspicuous a boy or girl sometimes feels who is a head taller than his or her classmates. You know a boy who at eleven already had a “mustache,” don’t you?”
.
Poor Tubby. Poor Mustache.
When Any Woman Will Do
“A little thought will show clearly that Love is not merely sexual love, not merely a desire to gratify the sexual instinct. If love were merely sexual desire then one member of the opposite sex, or at least one attractive member, would be as good as any other. And indeed in animals and in the lower races, where love as we understand it does not exist, this is the case. To a male dog any female dog is as good as another, and vice versa. And the same is true of the primitive savage races, and even among the lower uneducated classes of so-called civilized races. To the Hottentot, to the Australian bushman or to the Russian peasant one woman is as good as another.”
.
Say what you will about the Hottentots–I refuse to believe that Lady and the Tramp weren’t deeply in love.
