Sexy or NOT Sexy

My partner, T, said it seems like most people use their blogs to talk about themselves, but they're just not that interesting. Touche. I think she expected a higher entertainment value. From that perspective it's very disappointing, I agree.

But I was surfing some blogs and found this fun list-like experiment:

"Reading Stevens: Sexy. Reading Eliot: NOT Sexy. Got it?Reading Donne: Sexy. Reading Herbert: NOT SEXY AT ALL!Reading Dickinson: Sexy, in a kind of mod-goth way. Reading Bradstreet: NEVER SEXY!"

But you still have to be a lit geek to get it. I think we should pick more accessible topics and play this game - like pop stars, college majors, alcoholic drinks, things you see in porn, cuisines of the world, news anchor people, things about fall/winter/spring/summer, body adornment. Got it? I also think modifiers and adjectives ought to be allowed like - "trailer trash sexy", "NOT sexy, like a fart in bed", "brutally BDSM sexy", "NOT sexy, like considering your parents must have done it", "Forbidden sexy". etc . . .

Mexican food: not sexy (cf: fart in bed comment); Indian food: exotically sexy; crisp vegetables: so healthily sexy they're neutral; Italian food: so sexy you might as well be doing it.
