Single-Taken-It's Complicated / Sex and the Queen City Why you really can't find a good man
Posted By Brittney Cason on Tue, May 31, 2011 at 2:53 PM
"There are no good men left."
That's a statement I'm hearing come out of women's mouths a lot lately. In fact, too much.
Well, I hate to break it to you, ladies, but that's just a lie you're telling yourself to justify your single status.
Truth be told, good men aren't as rare as a unicorn. They're not mythical creatures that only live in a far away land. They do exist! Perhaps just not on your radar.
Have you ever stopped to wonder why other women are finding them, and you're not?
Maybe because you're not giving them a chance. You're skipping over genuinely good guys — the men truly worth marrying — because in your mind, they check the wrong box on their government forms.
Admit it. Most women have a "type" (aka "list"): Tall, handsome, successful, funny, well-groomed, educated, worldly, good with kids, must love dogs, went to a good school, has a good job, etc., etc., — ultimately, he looks good on and off paper. Not to mention he typically fits within a certain socio-economic and cultural clique. I know women with lists so long, they'll have to build a robot to find their ideal Mr. Right.
Having standards is good.
Having a list of demands that you yourself can't meet is bad.

Dating and Mating / Shit Brittney Says What is more rare ... a faithful man or a unicorn?
Posted By Brittney Cason on Thu, May 26, 2011 at 5:12 PM
I don't know what is more rare ... a faithful man or a unicorn.
I say this because, aside from my own personal observations, I've been hearing one too many stories as of late of my girlfriends finding evidence of infidelity within their boyfriend's various communication devices. And I keep seeing women getting divorced because their husbands had an affair with the 25-year-old receptionist when he hit his mid-life crisis, like in a cliched movie. Is the young secretary the new red sports car?
And in being one of the guys, I sometimes see things I wish I didn't. Such as the correlation between a woman's attention and a man's ego. One time I watched a client I worked with go from boasting about his wife and kids to me, to kissing on some other woman's neck not even thirty minutes later, who wasn't his wife. I'm kinda losing hope over here.
So I sent a tweet: I can't decide what is more rare ... a faithful man, or a unicorn.
I got all kinds of responses:
Both are always 'horn'-y, A faithful unicorn.... 2 out of the 3 unicorns I've date have cheated on me. With eachother, no less... very harrowing experience, Both live in a far away land!
And then I got this: @KimiR_NASCAR: @BrittneyCason it's not that rare, it's just you're a "on the side" kind of chick. Seriously.

Happy Hump Day Baby got back ... at Whisky River
Posted By Brittney Cason on Wed, May 25, 2011 at 12:45 PM
Happy Hump Day. Your present for such an occasion is a literal behind-the-scenes picture from last night's Boots and Bikinis contest at Whisky River. The monthly bikini contest is sponsored by About Face Models, for which I judged ... on personality.
You can view more photos, and even hotter contestants, on QC After Dark.
Whisky River is giving Hooters a run for their money — perhaps because their contestants wear boots as opposed to tube socks with tennis shoes.
As a judge for the contest, I couldn't help but vote for the girls with cellulite ... because I can relate. Cottage cheese is sexy, right? Or maybe only Sir Mix A Lot can appreciate it ... Baby Got Back!

Sex and the Queen City Sex sells ... and we're buying
Posted By Brittney Cason on Tue, May 24, 2011 at 10:30 AM
I went to Priscilla McCall's yesterday to get toys for my friend's bachelorette party coming up this Memorial Day weekend. And by toys, I mean silly bachelorette games and penis-shaped drinking straws ... but I found a lot of other toys there. And like a kid with ADD, I got distracted and started playing with them. From vibrating rings to dildos the size of my thigh, to vibrators that resemble my neck massager. This "lingerie and gift store" has a lot more than intimate apparel ...
Victoria's Secret isn't nearly as juicy as Priscilla's. (Side note: Victoria's secret is merely that her push-up bras are much cheaper than a boob job, and they make women magicians — when they take their bras off, their boobs disappear. Good thing the Salem witch trails are over, or else a lot of women would be in trouble)
Priscilla's goody shelves were also comprised of tightening creams, penis pumps, lipsticks in the shape of penises, fake vaginas, stripper poles, flavored lubes — and they even have pills that make your cum taste sweeter.
I felt like a kid again, in the adult toy store. I even got the bride-to-be a surprise grab bag — probably full of different toys than the ones I used to get as a kid.
The real secret is that everyone has a little freak in them, even the most ladylike on the street ... let your freak flag fly baby!
Sex sells for a reason (and these lingerie/gift stores sell a lot of it).
Another little secret for you ...

Random.com Are you a 'hot Southern mess'?
Posted By Brittney Cason on Mon, May 23, 2011 at 2:32 PM
"She'd rather wear a pair of cut-off jeans than a fancy evening dress. And with her windows rolled down and her hair blown all around, she's a hot Southern mess. She'll take a beer over white wine. A campfire over candlelight. And when it comes to love, well, her idea of a romantic night ..."
— Brad Paisley, in his new song "Old Alabama"
Those lyrics pretty much sum me up ... so much so that I'm in the video for "Old Alabama."
I was actually the production coordinator on the shoot and ended up driving vintage cars from Hendrick Performance alongside Kelley Earnhardt and Erin Crocker Evernham — legit drivers. So, a little Hollywood secret: They put the Buick I was driving on a trailer hitch, so I wouldn't wreck it.
The video premiered last weekend on the world's largest HD screen at Charlotte Motor Speedway before the Sprint All Star race.
Sh!t my dad says, Mr. Cason edition: "You're not worried about being on the largest HD screen? People will be able to see inside your pores!"
See how you can turn her on; view the video here, via NASCAR.com. All artist royalties from this song will go to tornado relief in Alabama. Brad Paisley rocks ... literally with the band Alabama in this video!

Free hugs today (until 8:59 p.m.)
Posted By Brittney Cason on Fri, May 20, 2011 at 3:38 PM
Charlotte Knights mascot Homer the Dragon will be attempting to set the World Record for “Most Hugs Given in a 24-hour Span” from Thursday, May 19th at 9:00 p.m. to Friday, May 20th at 8:59 p.m. The current world record is 8,709, so Homer's gotta get busy!
The purpose of the green dragon giving out hugs in “Homer’s Hugs for Hope” is to reach out into the community and spread a little joy to everyone. Spreading hugs not drugs! But they are suggesting a $1 donation per hug which will be distributed to local schools, Community Blood Center of the Carolinas, and the Disaster Relief Initiative.So technically that hug isn't free, but worth every penny. They're hoping to raise $8000 in the hug-a-thon.
Homer will be downtown and at local elementary schools this afternoon and at Knights Stadium for the game from 5:30 p.m. – 8:59 p.m., when the hug felt around the world ends.
I propose in addition to hugging a dragon, we spread the love and all just give out hugs to another. I'll be wearing a Free Hug shirt all day giving out hugs as well. Just please don't squeeze me guys ... I know your little trick about making women press their breasts against your chest during a hug.
I will be giving away hugs and shoes tonight at RE:Public for Fergie's gifting suite for her new footwear line.

Blind Leading the Blind / Sex and the Queen City Caution flags in relationships
Posted By Brittney Cason on Thu, May 19, 2011 at 12:58 PM
I was once invited to go on the Rachael Ray show as an "expert" to discuss my article featured on AOL's homepage: My Boyfriend was Living a Double Life. (Which really confused me because I thought it was a cooking show. But apparently I am the poster child for heartbreak, so I can cook up some relationship advice — using my own mistakes as lessons.)
Race week in Charlotte actually inspired my talking points for the Rachael Ray show ...
Wouldn't it be nice if, when dating, we had someone to wave yellow caution flags for us like NASCAR drivers do during a race — to let us know if there is debris, or bullshit, on our track ahead. Because you have to keep an eye out for red-caution flags in relationships, as I learned the really hard way.
Some caution flags to look out for …
Are you spinning your wheels?
Technically men are the ones who get to decide when women get married — based on when they ask. If you keep waiting for him to advance your relationship, and he’s telling you it’s a marathon and not a sprint, then he probably doesn’t intend on finishing the race with you. If you’re waiting for a fairy tale to unfold, I hate to be the one to tell you that Cinderella isn't real — and you’re likely headed for an unhappy ending.
Check your blindspot and utilize your spotter
If someone is waving a caution flag in front of you ... pay attention! And it might be a good idea to take a glimpse in the rearview mirror and make sure no one else is in it. My mentality of living in the now and always driving forward made me completely disregard the past ... and the fact he was still living in it, with no regard to a future with me. Look how well that turned out for me.
Is he on your pit crew ... or driving against you?
Is he jealous and over-protective of you? If so then it’s probably because he is doing something that would warrant those feelings, from you. If he’s questioning your loyalty then you may want to question his. And if you are in fact questioning his loyalty — RED FLAG! Worse, if you ever feel so insecure to the point you feel the need to pry and spy, it’s time to throw in the flag on that relationship ... or get your head checked.

Sex and the Queen City / Random.com Who sings your love song?
Posted By Brittney Cason on Tue, May 17, 2011 at 11:35 AM
Everyone has that one love song that resonates with them ... the song they put on repeat on their iPod and listen to over and over again while they daydream about the person that the song reminds them of. It's the song they sing in the shower at the top of their lungs or play at their wedding. It almost feels like the artist is singing right to you, about your relationship.
My favorite love song is Pat Green's "Three Days" It's the perfect love song for people who live their life up in the air and on the road — people like me, and the NASCARnies who only spend three days home at a time.
"I got three days, wash the road out of my soul. I got three days, love you out of control."
I spoke with Pat Green this morning, regarding his upcoming performance in Charlotte on May 26 at Speed Street, for which he promised to sing "Three Days" to the NASCARnival crowd. "I try not to leave out any song nominated for a Grammy," he joked.
Take a listen, to the greatest love song ever sang (to me at least).
I asked him if he had any relationship advice to offer those whom his popular love song (based on his own love life) also resonates with. He said to take advantage of the homecoming. Don't go out partying with the guys. When you're home, be home.
... take notes fellas!

Sex and the Queen City The Desperate Housewives of Charlotte
Posted By Brittney Cason on Fri, May 13, 2011 at 11:54 AM
I went on a double date with some cowboys last week ...
OK, so not really. I went to a country charity concert at Coyote Joe's with a girlfriend and found myself backstage with my friends from 96.9 The Kat, and in a picture with country artists Lee Brice and Jerrod Neimann.
You always hear about hip-hop video vixens, and the groupies that flock to rappers and ballers. But it's no different for country artists and NASCAR drivers. They just have a different breed of groupies.
I witnessed Jerrod Neimann convince a room full of women to drop down and do push-ups and then touch tongues, like a perverted Simon Says. And meanwhile Lee Brice was making out with some blonde fan in the middle of this game. He didn't even come up for air long enough to pose for a group picture. As you can see from his backward baseball hat.
I don't get it. What makes these men so appealing to women? Fame ... money ... power? That doesn't make them sweet and compassionate. And definitely not good boyfriends — or hook-ups even. Practice may make for a better performance, but it also makes things less safe and sanitary. Why would any woman want to give up her own identity for a guy who has other women throwing themselves at him because of his status, regardless of his relationship status. And more importantly, why do women throw themselves at them? Like it's a competition: Whoever ropes them a cowboy on stage, wins. But what do you win, exactly? A life of insecurities and infidelity? Unless you're Kate Middleton, you're not going to become a princess for seducing a man with status.
But who am I to judge? I'm the one in the picture with country stars and with an ex in the NBA. I went through a phase where I would be more flattered by the NASCAR driver or football player who hit on me than the average Joe. And then I'd pretend to be perfect, hoping they'd fall in love with me and make me Mrs. # (insert jersey number or car number). But then I realized how pathetic I was becoming — like an employed desperate housewife of Charlotte, trying to become rich and famous through osmosis, but only becoming insecure and greedy.
The average Joe is just as rich and powerful as any athlete, musician or actor when it comes to love. Just because some guy is taller and can dunk a ball, or can sing better, does not make him a better man than Joe.
Besides, players like to play on and off the field, using women as their ball. But with all the groupies, it makes the game so easy for them. So, can you blame them?

Don't Do This How to turn off a woman and look like a douchebag
Posted By Brittney Cason on Thu, May 12, 2011 at 3:12 PM
Last Sunday Funday, I was at the Rusty Rudder after a day out on the lake, when a guy came over and introduced himself. And that introduction included:
"It's so hard being rich and famous. I can't go out and have a good time without people watching me, and wanting to take a picture with me, when I'm just trying to chill."
I looked around to see who was watching us. No one was.
He continued: "I mean, I can't just go to a bar and have a good time. It sucks. I just want to be normal. You don't know how lucky you are."
How does one respond to this?: "I'm sorry ... what did you say your name was?"
Apparently, he was some contending champion in minor league-dirt track-NASCAR. I even work for 3 Wide Life, which covers all forms of racing, and I didn't know who he was. Now I have to ask, why would he do this? Is he paranoid schizophrenic? Or has this pick-up technique worked on women in the past? Even gold-diggers know that actions speak louder than words. All I know is that by trying to validate his coolness, he looked like a complete and utter dork (not to mention douche)
So don't do this guys ... being humble and secure in yourself makes you a lot more attractive to women than trying to sell yourself like a used car salesman.
