Earlier this week, we found out that President-elect Barack Obama and Michelle Obama shared their first kiss over Baskin-Robbins ice cream and he actually asked permission before leaning in. This got me thinking about my past first kisses. Like Barack (yeah, we’re on a first name basis.), my current boyfriend asked permission before he kissed me. It was our third date and I thought, “Can’t he pick up the signals that I’m dying to kiss him?” Heck, I was ready to kiss him on the first date, but he was a gentleman and waited an appropriate amount of time before things got physical. What do YOU think about asking permission before a first kiss?

Friday marked the sweet 16th Anniversary of my first kiss—conveniently also on Independence Day.  I thought it was going to go down just like DJ Tanner and Steve on Full House. In my case, the poor kid licked my face and then ran back to the boy’s side of my sleep away camp.  I’d never seen a fat kid run so fast.  But I also found out two key things over the summer make-out session: 1. Practice makes perfect. 2. Spring may have its flings, but in summer, things really heat up. We all want to be naked, we’re already warmed up, and everyone is out and about, strutting their stuff and bumping into strangers. It’s a booty buffet and this summer is already looking pretty steamy!  Have you ladies been putting the ho in hot too? Confess in the comments…

It’s easy to forget that evil, mean Simon Cowell was once a young, impressionable, and innocent nine-year-old. Tara Miller called up during American Idol last night to remind Simon (and the millions who watch the show) that she remembers him from those days—they shared their first kiss at the bottom of Simon’s garden back in England when he was just a little boy. Watch this clip carefully—he nearly blushes.
