Shuffling Away from '07

First let me say that I write this blog on New Years' Eve Day as I listen to my New iPod...which in a matter of minutes has changed my life...how did I do it before? Right now, Carly Simon and a backup choir are reminding me to "Let the River Run," which is a great song to start off the last blog of '07, a year that had its Sexy ups and downs but which has ends on a decidedly Sexy note...for friends, at midnight, the Revolution begins. Grab your Sexy weapons and meet Nicolle and I at the barricade.

I'm gonna let my iPod shuffle and it shall determine my reflections on '07!

Ben Folds: "Learn to Live With What You Are"
Ben urges us to learn one of the most important lessons a Sexy person can learn...that who you are is great, mostly because you have awesome and supportive friends who love and adore you...thanks, Ben. '07 certainly taught me and Nicolle how important our Sexy friends can be when one attempts to co-start a Revolution. "There's never gonna be a moment of truth for you while the world is watching..." We need to find our moment of truth first and then use it to light a Sexy fire bomb and throw it at the world...all with the support of our friends and fellow revolutionaries.

Tori Amos: "Smells Like Teen Spirit" [Cover]
Tori [and the late Mr. Cobain] reminds us that to get Sexy we need to work out and get our bodies sweating, thus necessitating the need for "teen spirit." '07 saw Nicolle and I go from physically inactive people to hot mo'fo's who are committed to fitness. Thanks to the inspiration from some of our fit and Sexy friends, marathoners, iron pumpers, moms, sisters, etc...Nicolle and I got moving and got Sexy!

Tori Amos: "Famous Blue Raincoat" [Cover]
First of all, I have a lot of Tori Amos on my iPod...second, she does a lot of great covers...like this wonderful Leonard Cohen tune which reminds us of the importance of the top tier outfit in helping one to become a Sexy revolutionary. I learned in '07 that a day that starts off unSexy can be shaken up with a pretty sweater, some jeans that stick to my legs a little bit, and a close shave (what up Sweeney Todd!). So find your own Famous Blue Raincoat(s) for '08 and wear them often.

Teddy Thompson: "Altered State"
The dreamy and British Mr. Thompson ask us "Is it so hard to be happy?" and we respond with a resounding "NO!" Now that '08 is here and we have the tools, we know that it's easy to be happy and Sexy without drugs or booze (Mr. Thompson's suggested remedy for unSexiness)...or at least Nicolle and I have those tools...if you don't, then put down the Franzia and Vicodin and get thee to a Home Depot. The altered state you want to live in is one you create for yourself...sorry, you all know I'm a teetotaller.

Alison Krauss & Union Station: "Baby, Now That I've Found You"
Um...now that we have found Sexy...we are not going to let it go...it's too much fun to be Sexy so let's do it all year. '07 might have handed you some trouble: love, job, fat, family, whatever but you've made a commitment to turn it around...here we go...AK&US are telling us to "build [our] world around [Sexy]"...so we should listen.

and finally...Leonard Cohen: "I'm Your Man"
One of the Sexiest Canadians sings us this cautionary tale of a man who is too quick to give his lover what s/he wants. "If you want a boxer, I'll step into the ring for you..." Um, no thanks, I don't want anyone punching my face, especially now that it's not so fat as it used to be. Leonard reminds us that in '08 we must be "the catch" (thanks Quiche) and that we must not abandon who we are to make others happy. You are Number One in '08; you may not have been in '07 but that's over in about 12 hours.

Enjoy your NY Eve, your open bars, your champagne toasts at midnight. Thanks for your support, your questions, and of course your Sexy in this tumultuous year of '07...onwards and upwards!!!

Answer to Nicolle's question:
Well, I may have looked Sexy for our trip to NYC in my new ensemble from the Banana Republic (thanks to PJD, former Sexiest person of the week)...but I was afflicted with some Fahey-like plague that necessitated the evening be cut short for me so as not to damage the Sexy of others. I was confident though that Sexy continued on in my absence.

Question for Nicolle:
In '08 Bob & Deb Foxworth, my Sexy parents, want all of their children to accompany them on a "family vacation." Perhaps they forget the Hilton Head disaster of 2000. What are they thinking? This cannot possibly be a good idea for the Foxworths' respective Sexies, can it?

Sexiest Person of the Week: Ken!



Ken(ny) and I have known each other forever. Well since we were like 11/12 or some nonsense like that. We (we being Kristin and I) used to call him Kenny Kleenex pants (which is not too Sexy) but since then... he's up'ed the game on Sexy. Ken was a mild mannered guy back in the day... But then he went to college and his stock ROSE through the freakin' roof. He's gone to England, went to Harvard for his master's degree, lived in Chicago, Boston, NYC... hooked himself up with an intelligent, hott, successful man (hey Steve!) and is living the life that some of us can only dream (he owned a real speedy large boat- God I loved that thing). The path that he walks on is paved in gold (his luck and hard work are like a dynamic duo) AND, I might add, he is totally a Jedi Knight (and not like he studies the Force like a dork- I mean he's a Jedi for real). His powers of persuasion on weak minded individuals are INSANE. No Seriously... I kid you not (ok well I do sometimes, but not about this) Ken's Sexy is like outta control. He makes it (it being LIFE) look easy and he will challenge me on everything. He shows me no fear and that my friends, above and beyond all the other insane hott stuff in his life, makes him untouchably SEXY!

I met Ken on his boat (they sold it but I needed a place to meet him people) in Lake Michigan. It's a warm breezy summer day (it's December) and we are totally just soaking in the sun. (No we aren't)

ME: O Ken... I loved this boat. Why did you get rid of it?
Ken: Because Steve and I moved back to the East Coast and we didn't need a boat anymore.
ME: That's a stupid reason. I mean, I loved this boat. You should have kept it on that principle alone.
Ken: Right, whatever. Why don't you get a boat?
ME: This isn't about me, this is about you owning a boat.
Ken: Right, whatever.
ME: Exactly. Ok so you are the Sexiest Person of the Week on Curt and I's blog- congrats!
Ken: I don't read that.
ME: I know. It's tragic- so on with the interview... In your Sexy opinion, what's the Sexiest form of transportation?
Ken:Ummm...I'd say the Subway. I love how it rams through all of those tunnels with aggression and force and... oh yeah, it's a great place to check out all of the cute New Yorkers!
ME:WOW that was hott. I didn't know the Subway was anything but smelly. So since you are a teacher (sort of) which is Sexier... working in an office or working in a school?
Ken: Wow, I don't know what kind of schools you are thinking about, but there is really nothing too sexy about working in a school at all. Maybe the hairnets or vomit mops might turn some people on, but overall it's not particularly glamorous. I'd say that offices are much more sexy with cute single people with lots of time to gossip and flirt. Sounds sexy to me!
ME: Schools always look Sexy in movies... don't they? Anyway, Was Harvard more or less Sexy than England?
Ken:Was a smallish school outside of Boston sexier than the entire country of England?...hmmm...I think that young people in England are incredibly sexy. There were few people there I wouldn't have slept with! They are generally slim and attractive with hot accents. They don't age well though, I think it's all of the chocolate and cigarettes. But generally England is sexier!
ME: O I agree, accents are totally Sexy. When I'm totally Sexy, I plan on using my Sexy for evil, how about you? Do you ever use your Sexy for evil?
Ken:For evil?? Ummm, I don't think so. I'm not good at withholding sex or anything like that, so I don't think I'd be good at using it for evil.
ME: O that's a real shame Kenny. Evil can be SO fun! In any case, what's the Sexiest movie you've ever seen?
Ken: I have a whole drawer full of sexy movies, but I'm guessing that's not what you are asking about. The sexiest movie next to Fried Green Tomatoes...who wouldn't find Kathy Bates in nothing but Saran Wrap sexy? I'd say that Urbania with that guy from Judging Amy was very sexy.
ME: I've never seen this movie. What guy from Judging Amy? I hear Tom Welling was in that once upon a time. I think there was a bathing scene. God he's hot. Well, thanks Ken. I appreciate your candid take on Sexy and so do our readers. Let's continue to pretend to enjoy the boat you got rid of... maybe one day I'll be able to forgive you for selling it.

Answer to Question of the Day:
Ryan Seacrest- I don't hate him like you do. Not to say I find him Sexy AT ALL. But I like American Idol (you devil) and he's ok on it. I don't know why he won't come out, maybe because he likes the closet. He feels safe in there, like my brother's dog's love of her cage. It's secure and dark and he can Gay it up in there, but the big bright world is scary and not secure and doesn't have any towels or any of his chew toys.

Question to Curt:
OMG we are totally going to the city tomorrow! How excited are you for our pseudo-NYE celebration? How Sexy do you plan on looking?

Some Sexy Movies to See This Holiday Season

The Holiday season can be a real crap shoot when it comes to finding a Sexy movie to see. As '07 is almost over, I'm sure we're all looking for something Sexy to set our eyes on before next Tuesday. It's only appropriate that we see this year off with a Sexy "Bon Voyage" in the form of some Cinematic Sexiness...so here are some of the current and upcoming releases that you should (or should not) consider if you're in the mood for some onscreen hotness...

The Bucket List...if you think old men are hot and Sexy and you love voice over narration by Morgan Freeman (what up Million Dollar Baby!), then this may be the Sexy movie for you. But maybe you're like me and you loathe sentimentality and old people freak you out and you cover your eyes when this preview comes on...different strokes for different folks.

Atonement...Keira Knightley and James McAvoy screw in a bibliotheque and it is jaw- droppingly hot...like the Sexiest thing I've seen all year...and La Knightley's green dress is all the rage right now...but maybe British people make you want to nap...lethargy is not Sexy!!!

Charlie Wilson's War...if you think Tom Hanks is aging well and you love when people use silly accents, then this is the Sexy movie for you...but maybe you're like me and you don't like boring things (I fell asleep for 20 minutes during this movie today)...it's a toss up!

Sweeney Todd...lots of people think Johnny Depp is seriously Sexy (yeah, I do too) and lots of folks get hot over a guy who can sing (yum) so maybe that will draw you to this bloody bloody bloody musical...but maybe you only like toe-tapping tunes and prefer your blood lettings to be minimal...so think long and hard (oh, I went there.)

And finally, PS I Love You...as I mentioned on Xmas day, I thought this "romantic comedy" starring the plucky Hilary Swank was fun and Sexy...some may particularly enjoy the Sexy Irishness of Gerard Butler and the Sexy faux-Irishness of Jeffrey Dean Morgan (fire your dialect coach and commit to Mary-Louise Parker)...others may balk at the 130 minute running time and the lack of hot hot sex or may just take a nap (Hilary with one L Foxworth)...

So there are tons of choices out there...weigh the Sexy options and pick something that is t likely to satisfy you.

Answer to Nicolle's question:
These two actors are so so different so it's really hard to compare them. True, they both make a lot of crap because they love money and popularity, but you must remember that Will Smith is relatively young and in good shape so we expect him to be Sexy. Also, in I am Legend he plays the last man on Earth...so you sort of have to think he is Sexy b/c you have no other choices. Nicholas Cage, who I maintain is talented (Raising Arizona & Adaptation come to mind) has made the fateful mistake of appearing onscreen with one of the Sexiext sexagenarians around, Helen Mirren, who was, inexplicably cast as his mother. Who in the world would believe that she was old enough to bare his worn out brooding ass? It's no wonder you didn't find Mr. Cage Sexy. Helen Mirren is a hot smokin' cougar with a great bod and an endless supply of talent (oh, and hopefully a big old paycheck from National Treasure 2); it takes an awful lot of Sexy to even be noticed in her presence.

Question for Nicolle:
Ryan Seacrest hosts that New Years' Eve thing, right? Do people think he's Sexy? If so, why? If not, why doesn't he just come out of the closet? Please note that this blog serves to entertain and inspire. Don't sue us, Seacrest.

Nicolle's Top 5 Sexiest THINGS/Moments of 2007!

So I will be driving tomorrow and then there's the GGE and I won't have time for this really- so here's your Wednesday Blog 35 minutes early!!

It's the last 5 Sexiest things of 07 so I thought "What would be more appropriate than a 5 Sexiest things of 07?" Nothing baby, absolutely nothing. That's what. SO without further interruption (I can't promise that)... The Top 5 Sexiest "things" of 2007!!

Going to Visit Curt and Ken in Chicago: I went last January (after my horrible break up with TDWBR-OS) to visit my friends in Chicago. It was cold, I was not my usual cheery self, but you know what- despite all that... we had a rockin'- kick ass time. We ate at this awesome sushi place, I saw the Pursuit of Happiness (sad movie people), I introduced Ken and Steve to Myspace, Curt made a delicious dinner with the largest twice baked potatos EVER, and I sang karaoke to "All I Wanna Do Is Make Love To You" at a fantastic gay bar. It was a good time and just what the doctor ordered to kick this year off right. Thank you GUYS!!!

MOVING: I moved this year. Out of this horrible basement apartment and into this awesome place with like windows and everything. No Seriously, I hated where I lived. It was a studio... there were bugs (I no longer call on a man to kill anything for me- because I killed large icky bugs myself)- it was dark (no windows) and musty. It was awful, not to mention the domestic violence (Hi, my name is Luca... I live on the second floor... or Curt's favorite Last night I heard the screaming... loud voices behind the walls). And then a friend of mine (HEY KEN) swooped in and saved me. Now I have windows and no smells and a pool in the summer and it's just really very great. And I have no memories of TDWBR-OS there. (Yes I know that getting over him is a great Sexy accomplishment of 07, but so many other things were MORE FUN to mention- so whatever!) I'm much happier and thusly MUCH SEXIER!

My Birthday Celebration in the city: Ok so Kristin and I both had very sophisticated celebrations this year. 31 is way better than 30, I swear! In any case, my birthday came and it was so much fun. We went into NYC and got together with KEN (hey you are like king of my blog tonight) and Steve and Seth and had an awesome time. There was much laughter and drunken-ness. I felt alive and pretty and really in a great place mentally. Sexy Sexy Sexy... plus I got that wicked cool vibrator that night from Seth and really we all know how that turned out. TOTALLY SEXY!

WPC Reunion Bitches: So I went to a two year school for professional photography before I finished up at Ramapo. In any case, those two years were some of the top of my life. I became this outstandingly outspoken, extrovert during my two years at White Pines... So because of the magic that is Myspace, we have all been able to re-connect and so we did. I organized the event, had it at Neeka's (hey Neeka) and it was incredible. Lots of fun and lots of memories. We are all still close even after 10 years. I love that about WPC and realizing some people are in your lives for the long haul, while others are not- really helped my get through this year and through some life garbage and that's what my friends?.... SEXY. So- WPC I love you all. You are all Sexy Sexy Bitches (Yes even Kyle)

Changing my life and co-founding Sexy 08: And of course, starting Sexy 08 with Curt and getting my physical body on track for once has to be the MOST Sexy thing about 07. I knew I had a lot to get through regarding TDWBR-OS but I felt like mentally and emotionally I just couldn't handle it- so I started small. I changed the way I ate. Then I started working out and suddenly I could deal with it mentally and emotionally. Because I was strong and I knew I would continue to be strong. And now because of Curt and Sexy 08- we are constantly reminding each other to be strong and so very Sexy. It's awesome. I know I will succeed because I already have- how Sexy is that? THE MOST SEXY, that's what it is. I can't wait until the next holiday Season when I'm sultry hott Sexy Nicolle... O wait, I already am! Eat that you bastard (message meant for TDWBR-OS and no one else.)

Answer to Question of the Day:
If they have not prepared... its OK! Breathe, put the crazies away, and realize that 08 STARTS in a few days. It does not end. So really think "Where do I want to end up by the end of this year" and don't be all Sped on me with "I wanna look like Christie Brinkley." One thing, she's old and two, she's no longer culturally relevant- so like baby step your way out of 2007 if you need to and get ready for the Sexy to smack you right in the face. Cause it does my friends, it really does. No really. SO as Curt would say "Step into Sexy, Step into Sexy..." just you know, baby step into Sexy. Like maybe get a sassy haircut... I know I am.

Question to Curt:
I just saw both I Am Legend and National Treasure 2 (whatever it was called) - how come I love Will Smith and hate Nicholas Cage? Is it really as simple as Will is talented and Hott while Nicholas Cage is awful and ugly? Please let me know.

Sexy is the True Meaning of Christmas

Sometimes we get caught up in the hustle and bustle of the holiday season and lose track of what is really important. This happens to the best of us as we consider family, gifts, travel, etc. Sometimes we are so deeply entrenched in our own holiday funk that we lose sight of the true meaning of Christmas, and the only thing that could possibly save us is to run into a poor child at Target who is trying to purchase an ugly pair of ladies shoes for his dying mom, and he's trying to pay for them with change that he took from pay phones and unlocked cars, and he needs those shoes because he's sure that old ma is gonna croak like two minutes ago and he has it in his head that heaven operates on a strict No Shirt No Shoes No Salvation policy and he looks to you with his sad, possibly lazy eyes and asks you to pony up the remaining $1.53 so that he can get out of that store before the employees recognize him as the kid who was damaging items with a pair of pinking shears and a bottle of white out because he needed attention because everyone is just paying so much attention to his dying mom...so you dig into your pocket, get out two bucks, make the cashier give you the correct change cuz you don't trust the kid and watch as he sprints out of the store, not even waiting for the gift receipt to print...and you think to yourself, "Damn, I almost forgot the true meaning of Christmas...but now that I remember it, damn do I feel Sexy...and isn't that what Christmas is all about?"

Yes. Sexy is the true meaning of Christmas...here are a few Sexy things that made this a Sexy Christmas eve/day...

Hilary Swank...I saw and loved P S I Love You...it really hit the spot mostly b/c La Swank is not everyone's idea of Sexy but she uses her other gifts: talent, pluck, and pretty clothes to send Sexy out into the world.
Winning 2/3 Games of DVD SceneIt...my best pal Sexibear came to the Foxworth Xmas eve dinner/trash-talking game night and the bear and I busted some yuppie ass.
Top Tier Outfits...I got a few new items that will figure heavily into my rotation in the coming months...fresh new Sexy looks coming your way, Chicago!
My new iPod Nano...well, I've joined the bandwagon that left me behind in 2003 and I got me an iPod...now I can entertain myself while I work out and get Sexy instead of watching Private Practice at the gym on closed captions.
Being the funniest person in the room...Christmas with the Foxworths is a boost to my comic ego, especially when the extended family arrives...they will laugh at anything I say...which is nice and which makes me feel Sexy!

Hope you had a Sexy Christmas!

Answer to Nicolle's question:
What I am looking forward to most about the GGE is the chance to join forces with my Sexy buddy, Nicolle "Teensie" Langlois and use our Sexy powers to create and awesome time for everyone. If you think La Langlois and I are a tough combo when we are 900 miles apart, just wait until you see our Sexies in the same space...it's explosive...like dynamite but without the threat of maiming!

Question for Nicolle:
It's only a week until '08! If any of our readers have done nothing to prepare for the revolution, what is one they they must do right now?

Twas the week before Sexy 08

Twas the week before Sexy 08 and all through my mind
All my Sexy was stirring and I looked awesome and fine.
My hott buddy was shrinking and looking quite fair
in hopes that Saint Sexy soon would be there.
Me in my smaller bras, he in his size 31 pants
we know you all love our Fun Sexy rants.
And now out on the internet there arose such a clatter
about Sexy 08 and all Sexy matters.
You come to our blog to gain some insight
to ward off bad habits and keep up the fight.
We entice you with humor and hilarious blurbs
because Sexy is awesome and needs to be heard.
So remember this holiday season to keep up the battle
cause we don't all want to come back looking like cattle.
Um, so like Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night
Bring on the Sexy with all of your MIGHT!!



Answer to Question of the Day:


The Sexiest tourist attraction in Maine or New England... well I love myself some Portsmouth, NH. It's trendy and fun and really is an awesome place to meet up with people. (what up Neeka and Hildi) But honestly, in Old Orchard- where I am- the Sexiest place is Sebago Lake (which is not in OOB, it's in Sebago). Well I love it the most. Good for swimming, not gross, not a ton of people there, it's just fun and we rented a boat last summer. TOTALLY SEXY! I can't wait til this summer to enjoy once again. Also, my parents would be mad if I didn't give a shout out to the Portland HeadLight. It's all phallic and blah blah :)

Question to Curt:
MERRY CHRISTMAS Curt!! What Sexy thing are you looking most forward to at the GGE (Great Gift Exchange)?

The Sexiest Person of the Week: Paula Jon DeRose!



I have known Paula DeRose since I was a freshman in high school. We both had minor (but memorable) roles in Middletown High School North's production of Hello, Dolly! I knew quickly that this was one sassy broad.

I have also known PJD ever since she was unSexy...and she has known me ever since I was unSexy and "not gay." So we are talking lots of history here.

Now Paula is a totally Sexy mama. She lives in Brooklyn with her hottie b/f Jonathan (yo, J!) and continues to be a positive influence on my Sexy: she is possibly single-handedly responsible for any fashion sense I have and any taste in "cool" music (she has nothing to do with the showtunes). I chose her as the Sexiest person of the week so she can be a positive influence on you too.

I surprised her by showing up at Another Room, the hip wine and beer bar where Paula turns away frat boys who ask for Budweiser. I sat at the bar and Paula beamed with delight, shrieked a little bit and then asked me if I wanted a drink. When I requested something non-alcoholic, the other patrons immediately stopped their conversation and looked with disgust. She pointed at me and spoke loudly so all could hear, "Three years sober." I got a light smattering of applause.
Curt: Thanks.
Paula: What are you doing here?
Curt: Well, you are the Sexiest person of the week...so I have a few questions...
Paula: WooHoo! Good Choice. I have a lot to offer your followers.
Curt: So then let's get started...In The Importance of Being Earnest, Gwendolen says "I pity any woman married to a man named John. She would...never know the entrancing pleasure of a single moment's solitude." Now that you live with a man named Jonathan, would you agree or disagree with Gwendolen? Do you feel smothered or do you feel that living with your Jon is non-stop Sexy?
Paula:I want to start off by saying what an honor it is to be called the Sexiest person of the week; especially at this time- during the season of giving. As far as living with a person named Jon…. I do feel smothered…smothered with non-stop Sexy! Just when I thought J. Nasty couldn’t get any better, I moved in with him and he taught me what domestic Sexy is all about.
I guess I should also mention that my father’s name is John, so perhaps I was accustomed to it. Oh Shit! I just mentioned my Dad…totally not Sexy…my sincerest apologies.
Curt: You are someone who didn't seem to hit your Sexy stride until you fled the suburbs and moved to New York City. What is it about NY that fuels your Sexy?
Paula: Alas, it is oh so true. I did indeed have to flee my beloved New Jersey in order to find my Sexy. I feel I can explain the abandoning of my homeland with the words of the leader of my people, Bruce Springsteen; “Tramps like us…baby we were born to run!” I feel what the Boss is expressing here is the innate desire of the New Jerseyan to separate oneself from their working class roots; in other words, leave the suburbs and get Sexy! There are several things in NYC that keep me ultra-Sexy: the fashion, the parties, the people, the liquor -bars here are open till 4am…the list goes on.
Curt: When we were in high school and would drive to the Inkwell in Long Branch several nights a week to enjoy a tasty basket of fried treats, what were we thinking?
Paula: Ah the Inkwell. Perhaps I was sexually frustrated by the fact the only man in my life was my cast mate in a production of Bye Bye Birdie and knew all the words to A Chorus Line. Or maybe I was just thinking that FRIED FOOD is TASTY.
Curt: Looking forward to 2008, can you foresee a moment or event at which your Sexy will need to be in high gear...and if so, how will you prepare?
Paula: Great question Curt. I’ve recently been cast in a production of The Vagina Monologues by Eve Ensler. For those of you not familiar with The Vagina Monologues it is an evening of women celebrating their vaginas (I personally like to call them hey-heys) all for a good cause. Now, I have reason to assume that will be an event where I will have to call upon all of my Sexy in order to make certain that my vagina stands out in a room full of performing-pussy. I know I have it in me. Perhaps it is a role of a lifetime. I plan to bring sexy to The Vagina Monologues. So much Sexy that all the other women will resemble a bunch of whining penises.
Curt: Now that you are super Sexy, can you tell our readers about one common mistake you notice people making that prevents them from reaching a true state of Sexy?
Paula: Wow. I really hope I can connect with some readers now and lend a Sexy hand. What advise can Mama give? Well, a wise man once said, “I’d rather be alone and happy; than with someone and un-happy.” That wise man was Dr. Phil. And I would like to take this opportunity to alter his advice. You would rather be sexy and alone than unSexy and with someone. That is right; don’t couple yourself off with someone who does not appreciate your Sexiness just because you are afraid to be alone.
Curt: Thanks, PJD...see you in M-town!
Paula: WooHoo!
Answer to Nicolle's question:
It is tough to stay Sexy here at work, especially when surrounded by tasty and tempting holiday treats. but I am being strong and thinking ahead to tomorrow when I will return to NJ and undoubtedly surprise tons of people with all of the Sexy I've brought. That gets me through the day! See you soon, Sexy buddy!
Question for Nicolle:
What is the sexiest tourist attraction in Maine...or if that's too narrow, New England?

Sylvester Stallone: Sexy cause I Say So!

Hello my loyal Sexy Patriots! Today is the first official day of my Christmas Break! I am up in jolly old Maine, yet again. It's picturesque in its holiday-ness with snow covered trees and freezing temps. We had more snow last night and this morning, so I spent part of today shoveling (Sexy?) and then because I was so invigorated by the work out... I went for a Winter Wonderland Walk. It was cold, my nose was running, I was sliding all along the well plowed streets (Maine does not mess around), pushing myself to walk hard when I remembered a scene from Rocky 4. Rocky is climbing a mountain, presumably somewhere in Russia, to train so he can defeat the man who killed his BFF Apollo. There I was breathing hard, sweating, freezing... pushing myself to defeat fat and unSexy-ness when I felt my inner Rocky Balboa burst forth. I worked harder up the small incline to the STOP sign... and when I reached the top I yelled "DRAGO!!!" Well ok, no I didn't but that's when I realized who I needed to write about today... Sylvester Stallone. He helped me get my Sexy workout done under crazy circumstances, he deserved it today. Sorry John Glover, maybe next time. (Lionel Luthor ROCKS btw).

Ok so some of you are like WTF?!! Sylvester Stallone!!! He's like 105 years old and totally unSexy. You are wrong. Sly (as I'll be referring to him from now on) was my first crush ever, I was three. You heard me, 3 yrs old. I loved Rocky from day one. I went to see it with my dad and it became a tradition we shared together. Gerry and Nicolle go see Rocky. And to this day when I watch the scene in his apartment, before he and Adrianne hook up, and he' resting his arms over his head... GOD, it's too hot for words. (To me) Plus there's all the other Rocky movies... that he wrote. He's smart people, accept it. Rocky 4 will always be one of my favorite movies... back to back training montages?? AWESOME. Sweating men working out! SEXY. If you haven't seen it, do yourself a favor and rent it STAT. For Reals. (PS I Love all the Rocky movies... except Five- no one loves 5)

Sly was in other movies I absolutely love too... Over the Top, Tango and Cash, Demolition Man, Cobra. These are all great, great action movies. And so fun to watch. Sly made his name being an action movie ICON... but what's even more amazing about this UBER-TALENT is that he's also an artist. He paints, he writes... he THINKS. I know he's made tons of money off the idea that he's slightly retarded, but it's so far from the truth. He's an actor people, he pretends!! (Pretending is SOOO Sexy?) In any case, I can't wait to see what he does with himself in his 60s and 70s, aside from being arrested in Australia for illegal substances (O like you haven't been!!)

So please, while Sly may be getting long in the tooth, don't forget his inspiring turns as Rocky Balboa and John Rambo... (there's a new Rambo coming soon!!) These men fight hard and take names. And when you find yourself sprinting up a hill (or small incline) in the snow- trying to push yourself over your own limitations, think of Rocky... find your Russian enemy and beat him to death... because deep inside we are pieces of iron that Ivan Drago will never defeat. We will TKO unSexy... just like Rocky and claim our SexyWeight Championship belt. Because "if yous can change... and I can change- maybe we can all change!!!" Yay- totally SEXY!

Answer to Question of the Day:
Curt when I am traveling (mostly to Maine) I make sure I have Sexy tunes, I stop only once to get some Sexy gas for both me (coffee) and my car (actual gas), and I drive really fast (totally Sexy). That is how I maintain my Sexy when I travel. If you mean, like when I'm flying... well, um I sleep so no one bothers me. And sleeping is important to my Sexy... I don't know about you. Otherwise, I don't really travel by like Hot Air Balloon or speed boat all that often... but the idea of me on either of those things is TOTALLY SEXY!!

Question to Curt:
What's it like to be working, while I'm relaxing and being Sexy already??

Curt's Five Sexiest Canadians

I almost did something Christmasy here but Nicolle and I have been taking about Christmas a lot (because it's awesome and Sexy and we love it). So instead I word associated with myself and I went here Christmas makes me think of snow which makes me think of Canada which makes me think of Sexy Canadians. Canadians are a warm, peace-loving people, many of whom have adorable, quaint accents. They have a glorious and climactic national anthem and they are bilingual (J'adore le francais!). Sure, some might say that Canadians are a strange and dark people what with their hyper-violent tendencies (hockey, eh?), but in general, I think the lot of them are Sexy...here are my five Sexiest Canadians (in no particular order).

Leonard Cohen
Seriously guys, I thought he was dead for a really long time. Like, I would tell people that he was dead. "Oh yeah, Leonard Cohen, he'd dead." Leonard Cohen is alive, alive, alive (and living in Los Angeles). This septuagenarian dog-voiced Canadian songster has been writing songs for like 50 years. Folks, at first, and probably because I wasn't Sexy, I thought he was difficult to listen to, but now that I've come around and I'm Sexy, I long to find someone to make out with as LC's sultry, gruff voice serenades us in the background. Leonard Cohen knows about life and love and sex (he used to date Rebecca Demornay back when she rocked the cradle (and the Sexy)) and boy does he sing about them.

Rachel McAdams
This is one kick-ass actress. From Slings & Arrows (Canadian TV) to Mean Girls to Red Eye, this Canadienne uses her brand of confidence to teach this country a lesson about Sexy. Her Regina George (Mean Girls) is one of the most terrifying villains in all of teen comedy; we fear her because she is so Sexy...because at any moment she could use her Sexy powers for evil and destroy lives (but in a funny way...it's a comedy!!!). In Red Eye, we learn that no one handles terror at 30,000 feet quite like Rachel McA...I mean she makes Samuel L Jackson and those snakes look just plain silly (oh, wait, never mind). The way she uses, and mind you, without taking off any of her clothes, her Sexy power to womanhandle Sexy Irishman Cillian Murphy is an inspiration to all women (and men) who are faced with terror. Also, she dates or has dated...(can anyone give me an update?)...this guy...

Ryan Gosling
Last week I spoke of this Canadian's great performance in Lars and the Real Girl. This week, I just speak of his Sexy in general. Ever since I saw him in Murder By Numbers (the profile doesn't fit the profile!!!), I knew that he would be a Sexy force to be reckoned with. Even his co-star Sandy Bullock couldn't resist his Sexy. Ryan Gosling is seriously talented in a way that American actors his age (anyone from American Pie) are not; he gets nominated for Oscars while they get herpes (just a guess). His Sexiest move though was when he wised up and got himself hooked up with another Sexy Canadian (see above). The two fuel each other's Sexy fire (please tell me they are still together), but they keep it classy too.

Alanis Morrissette
Sure it's been years since the height of her success, but she is still rockin' the Sexy. Girl went through a serious breakup this year with fellow Canadian, Ryan Reynolds (you are dead to me, RR, dead to me) but she didn't just sit on her ass and cry or make a fool of herself by getting DUI's and STD's. Instead she covered My Humps and made a hilariously satirical video to go along with it in which she lampooned both the grossness of that song and her own voice/persona. Nicolle and I have talked before about how funny is Sexy. And as if this Canadienne didn't already have enough going for her Sexy, she proved that she's also a big hoot (with big hooters)!

Kristine Charron Bailey
This Sexy Canadeinne is a former co-worker of mine at the [insert business name here] in Middletown, NJ. Ever since we listened to Tori Amos' "Space Dog" on the way to the Middletown Pancake House on her second day of work, I knew that this 4'10" dynamo would be a Sexy force. "If you were sexually frustrated and I were not a homosexual, I think we would have a very torrid workplace romance, " I once said to her. Jim and Pam would have paled in comparison. Now this Sexy sprite is a new mom to twins (what up Nolan and April) but she has not let that get in the way of her Canadian accent or her Sexy. She remains an important dispenser of Sexy advice and a major source of confidence for herself and others! Rock on Charron!

Answer to Nicolle's question:
Swim the English Channel. I'm totally committed to fitness, I'd love to go to England (again) and France (for the first time), and I think it would be good publicity.

Question for Nicolle:
How do you stay Sexy during holiday travel?

Married (or Coupled) with Sexy...

This blog is frequently (almost always) about the Sexy Single Sapien because that's what Curt and I both are (no, we are not monkeys people). But I thought today, for a nice change of pace, I would write about those other Sexy people walking the earth... You know the ones I mean... they've sometimes got kids and they travel in two's (at least) and own houses/townhouses/condos and call each other honey and dear or whatever... See now you can picture them in all their dual- income glory (if you're not one), so without further ado- Sexy Couples of the world... this blog's for you. (or mostly if you feel like you've lost your Sexy somewhere, like in the cushions of your couch)

Mostly I think that being in a couple should automatically make you all realize how Sexy you are... but tragically, I think a lot of paired peeps lose that connection to the sizzling sass they once had. I hear about this "Lost Sexy" time and time again from my married friends especially. Who knows why? All that available, free sex would make me feel Sexy all the time (not that I pay for Sex). But then again, I'm not trying to balance my life with anyone elses anything. It's just me- and me (o hey what's up?). SO perhaps it's that push and pull and all those sweatpants you wear together that takes the life-blood from your Sexy veins... or maybe you're all just being lazy asses... now it's time to be Sexy asses people!

All of my married or coupled friends are incredibly Sexy people- together and separately. But I don't know that they realize just how Sexy they are during the mundane of everyday. I think they miss the beats that I see as an outsider. It's all kind of a Sexy social ballet if you will. The intertwining language... the laughter over something small, but significant, the moments of comfort... those intimate (Sexy) nuggets o' time are some of the things I'm looking most forward to when I am in a Sexy (childless) couple again. But... I am not looking forward to losing my Sexy sight. I will rage, rage against the dying of the Sexy light and you need to too. Sexy is always within reach (like God or a cell phone) and we can find it together (not so much God, cause he's evasive, but I've got a cell you could use after 9pm)

Ok so here's the deal. If you feel unSexy (like Alanis- how could SHE feel unSexy ever- I love you), stop it. Wow- it's that easy. Look at your spouse, lover, boyfriend, girlfriend, whatever (like Gonzo) and see them for the first time all over again. The smile, the slope of the shoulder, the grace of her neck... whatever it needs to be. Get dressed up, like real shoes and a hot top-tier outfit and go OUT, for real! Stop letting life make you unSexy. Work, kids, having someone in bed with you every night is no excuse for Lazy Sexy. You need to make yourself a priority, your Sexy depends on it and so does his/hers. Do it for each other. Or do it for me cause I'm not doing it at all right now (Le Sigh!).

Just so you all know (you all being my Sexy coupled up friends), I envy you. Envy is not terribly Sexy, but it has its place. What you have (love, Sex, a person to verbally spar with- WOOO) is the prize... and I've got my eyes on the prize- focused like a sleek jungle cat. You should all realize how awesome and Sexy your sig nif is... I've met them all (yes all) and they rock. And I wish nothing but the best Sexy for you both (you all both) and I hope Sexy 08 rocks the foundation of your sweet sassy love and thrusts all the Sexy you can stand back into your lives. Find your power source with one another and let the Sexy ride begin again. And... BURN. THOSE. SWEATPANTS. (you all know what I'm talking about and it's Sexy to no one)


Answer to SexiBear's Question:

Sexibear, I've known you for many many years now... like 20 + and I've gotta say You're Damn Sexy and you need to stop feeling so down. First of all, you are studying not to try and pass your Driver's Test for the 100th time, but to pass your Comps for your Doctorate. Um, hello- that's awesome... Smart = Sexy. Duh! And Hard work, also Sexy. Secondly, you are the heir to the Sexiest event of Sexy 08... your upcoming nuptials are going to ROCK THE HOUSE!!! You should be beaming with Sexy confidence and awesome happiness (see blog above about couple's Sexy). Thirdly, you are a Sassy, Sexy BEAR and always have been. Someone who can go toe to toe with me argument wise and not be intimidated at all is a pretty amazing creature... Plus you are Aunt Sue to Kailey and I know your sister (one of my top five best friends) thinks you are amazing. With all the cooking and help and support you give truly there's no need for you to think you've lost your Sexy, Silly. It's with you all the time, like a half-drank water bottle in your bag. SO I don't want to hear about how Sexibear's not feeling Sexy. I want to hear about how Sexibear is going to take these Comp MO FO's downtown and kick their academic ass. And if all this pep-talk don't work... Have Randy (hey Randy) learn some new oral techniques to blow your mind with. (for like studying purposes people- God) And... STOP. WEARING. THOSE. DAMN. SWEATPANTS. (seriously I mean it. It should be like a cardinal rule or something)

Question for Curt:
When we are both totally famous because Sexy 08 has swept the nation, what Sexy activity are you going to do first?

I Can't Help It...I'm in a Good Mood

I should be grumpy today.
It's Monday; I have heaps of work to do; my apartment is a mess; I have tons of Xmas shopping to do; I have not finished my Xmas cards; and I have very little time over the next few days to do these things (before I leave for the Jerz on Saturday AM).
But I am not grumpy today. I'm in a rather good mood, actually. It's quite possible that this good mood can be attributed to one simple yet powerful step I took this weekend: I shaved.
You read me right. I shaved; I took a razor and cut all of the extraneous hair off my face. For those of you who do not know, I shave about 5 times a year; normally I just trim my facial hair very short with my beard trimmer. I think shaving is a pain and far too time consuming.
But let me tell you folks, this time, after I shaved, I looked at myself in the mirror and said, "Oh my! Don't you look fresh and clean and young (sometimes I feel like I'm 40 (I can't sleep much past 9am anymore))...and Sexy."
****
Dear reader, it is now five hours later. It's been a busy day here at work and since it's been five hours, I've lost my train of thought. So I guess my point today is: Shave b/c it will make you feel Sexy. No, no, really.

Answer to Nicolle's question:
Nicolle, surely you know that any song you choose for a mix CD will be Sexy simply because you have chosen it. But I can understand the need for suggestions. Last year's depressing Xmas mix was pretty awesome so I can see how you feel pressure to replicate its greatness even though you'll be "mixing" on a different theme. But I'd love to hear Carrie Underwood's "Before He Cheats." This may be a song about infidelity but it's also a song about empowerment (and property damage). Like Kelly Clarkson, Ms. Underwood is not afraid to commit a few misdemeanors in the name of her own agency. You will not cheat on Carrie Underwood and expect to get off scott free; just like you will not cheat on Kelly Clarkson without getting your apartment trashed. These women demand to be treated like the catches they are. and that's a lesson we can all learn.

Question for Nicolle:
Sexibear, who normally brims with confidence, has found herself in a rut. She asks, "How do I maintain or reclaim my Sexy while I am stuck at home studying (which I hate) all of the time for this stupid exam and am too sad and unmotivated to work out more than twice a week and all I want to do is curl up on the couch with some TV, some of Curt's Christmas cookies (I can dream about them, can't I) and a Christmas tree martini? (Also, I'm afraid I bought lame gifts for my friends and family since I had to do almost all of my shopping online but you probably can't help with that.)"

Michelle and Sammi Wagner, Sexiest People of the Week!!


Some announcements before I start today… First of all, they cast the character of Edward (O Edward) in the movie version of Twilight! Now this could have been devastating if they picked someone I couldn’t love and lust after, but they didn’t! Robert Pattinson, of Goblet of Fire fame (He played Sexy Cedric Diggory) will be wooing me (and you and everyone else) on the big screen next December as EDWARD, HUZZAH! SEXY! Second of all, I have been down the last few days and I am happy to report- that the gloom is over. I am back and way more cheerful all due to Leena Shah and Urvi Gandhi’s general company last night. Thank you so much gals, especially for my new Indian nickname Chandani (meaning starry night- how cool is that?). More Sexy!

On with the Interview:

This week’s Sexiest Person is/are my sister Michelle and my niece Sammi. I’ve told you all about Sammi, but nothing about my sister… so hears the deal with her. Michelle is my older (but only slightly so) sister who I have always looked up to (she’s taller- HA!). She’s working towards her Doctorate in Education (sehr Smart), a mother of two, multiple marathon runner, in-door soccer player, full time teacher, wife, laugher extraordinaire (you have to be in our family), a real intimidating bitch when she wants to be, and she has great hair (like me)… all things that make her TOTALLY SEXY. I used to want to be just like her, now I just enjoy who she is… cause I mean two Sexy Bitches in the family is so much better than one.

I met Michelle and Sammi at a rest area on the Pennsylvania Turnpike. We got some none-free-standing Starbucks and found a secluded table to discuss love, life, and SEXY.

ME: Hey Chicks, What’s up?? Isn’t this place great?
Michelle: It’s Pennsylvania.
ME: Exactly. So anyway… What's your definition of Sexy? Samantha, why don’t you go first.
SAMMI: What's definition?
Michelle: What makes someone Sexy?
SAMMI: Oh...Sassy hair, sassy clothes, sassy jewelry. Like even your glare. You have to be all shined up.
ME: Your Glare. Damn, I need work. I wonder if I'm shiny enough. Michelle?
Michelle: My definition of Sexy is confidence in your body/mind/soul. That and a good sense of humor. And Jon Stewart; that man is Crazy Sexy.
ME: He is Sexy, in a nerdy Sexy way. Good Choice. Um, What piece of your wardrobe makes you feel the Sexiest?
SAMMI: Jeans and a tank top and my brown high heel shoes.
ME: You have heels? You’re Six (She just stared at me with no response.)
Michelle: My running clothes; specifically a tank and shorts. I know you disagree but I just love my body in those clothes, especially when I am running well and I’m kinda sweaty. I feel the most in touch with my own body at those times and that makes me feel Sexy.
ME: It sounds smelly, but I understand now that I work out. (I’m doing two-a-days) You do feel really Sexy when you're working hard. I can understand- even if you smell funny. Next Question, When you are down and not feeling Sexy, what do you do to reclaim it?
SAMMI: I've never done that--feel down and not Sexy.
ME: Seriously, you amaze me. Who are you? (She just rolled her eyes at me)
Michelle: Well I like to snuggle with Marc (her husband). He always likes to snuggle with me. And since he is both my best friend and the Sexiest man I know; that makes me feel better and really Sexy.
ME: Hmmmm interesting. I miss snuggling. It is totally Sexy… So what's the Sexiest food?
SAMMI: You are going to laugh at me… But I say hot dogs… (WHAT?) Because hot dogs are in a bun and the bun is like a dress and dresses are Sexy. (Wow)
ME: WOW.
Michelle: For me, it’s Chocolate. No explanation needed. (My sister loves chocolate, like it’s crack.)
ME: So to finish up… How does it feel to be related to such a Sexy beast, like me?
SAMMI: AunkieColle, I don’t think you are Sexy; ok, you’re kinda Sexy. But more flair-y. You have lots of flair. (Curt wanted to know why my niece wouldn’t throw me a freakin’ bone on my own blog…)
ME: Flare, huh? I guess I’ll give you that. Michelle?
Michelle: I think you are Intimidating. I have always known you as Sexy simply because you always seemed to embrace who you are. And that is very intimidating to a girl like me. But it also makes me proud because who doesn't like a kick-ass Sexy relative? (Not us)
ME: Ok well thank you so much for being this week’s Sexiest People of the week. I have so enjoyed our time together in this gray bleak Pennsylvania. Where are we anyway... New Stanton?
Michelle: I don’t know.

ME: Of course you don't.
SAMMI: Singing “Last Christmas I gave you my heart…”
ME: Um, Right… so I’ll see you guys in like April… or something like that… You are the best! Give Nick (my hilariously smart nephew) and Marc my love.
Michelle: We will. Thanks for having us--although Marc was a bit disturbed about having Sammi amswer questions about being Sexy.
ME: Whatever, you are too cool to let him squish her awesomeness. C-ya, HUGS!
SAMMI: Bye AunkieColle. Muhwahhhh!
Michelle: Bye

Answer to Question of the Day:
I would say you should go to Old Navy and buy a new shirt once you’ve salvaged the other one. OO that’s cheating cause that’s what you did with your coffee stained shirt!! Ok so throw more coffee on it and be proud and confident enough to wear it. Let your clumsy oafishness become UBER SEXY by embracing it completely. I mean what’s Sexier than brown gross stains all over your clothes, right? OOO right, a bargain sweater purchased at Old Navy. You win Foxworth. But I’ll be back.

Question of the Day:
What are some songs you would put on a Sexy 08 Mix, if you were making one. (Cause I am and I need some original suggestions).

Sexy '08 on the Golden Globe Nominations

This Sexy blogger loves award season. So in lieu of discussing a particular celebrity this week, I will begin my awards season talk with some thoughts about the Golden Globe Nominations.

The Golden Globes are silly. They are voted on by the Hollywood Foreign Press which is a group of ESL journalists who love Disney movies but seem confused by Woody Allen. The nominations are often considered a good indicator of who will be nominated for Oscars, though, so it's hard not to pay attention.

The Golden Globes also award "achievement" in television but their record has been spotty in the past.

That being said, some very Sexy people were bestowed with nominations today. Here are a few of my favorites:

In TV Land, the Globes nominated not one but two sexy sexagenarian actresses for Best Actress in a Drama Series: Glenn Close for Damages and Sally Field for Brothers & Sisters. How can I root for just one of these Sexy old ladies, both of whom have been mentioned right here on this Sexy blog? I am praying (not really praying) for a tie!

To go along with those Sexy cougars came two nominations for their respective Sexy Australian co-stars, Rose Byrne for Damages and Rachel Griffiths for B & S. Rose Byrne is what happened when Kate Winslet and Rachel Weisz combined their DNA and went back to 1979 to implant their beautiful and talented embryo into an Australian woman (Mrs. Byrne, presumably). And Rachel Griffiths is so awesome it hurts. Again, how can I choose between them?

Tina Fey (30 Rock) continues to prove that glasses can be Sexy.

Jonathan Rhys Meyers is dead Sexy but The Tudors is the stupidest show that's supposed to be good and Sexy that you ever did see. It's like Dynasty meets Henry III meets Cliffs Notes.

I do have to say, though, that the stupid stupid Globe people are jerks for nominating stupid Bill Paxton for Big Love but not one of the amazing actresses he co-stars with. That's effed up.

In the world of cinema, I am truly delighted about Amy Adams' nomination for Enchanted. I'm 27 and slightly cynical but I loved this movie...and all because of her. Also I saw the movie on Thanksgiving which was a very Sexy day for me, spent with Sexy friend Molly (what up Molly!).

Sweeney Todd promises to be more gruesome than Sexy, but boy was I excited about Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter. I love this musical. Love it. Haven't see the movie yet, but I expect/hope to love it.

Besides Josh Groban, I do not discuss Sexy men on this blog too much, which is odd, b/c ultimately I prefer Sexy men to Sexy women (no offense ladies, I'm just not into your Globes). I was very excited about two nominations though, for men who showed me a new side of Sexy this year.

Casey Affleck, I'm talking to you. How did I not know? Why did it take me so long to realize that you are a Sexy and talented treat? Friends, it did not hit me until I was viewing The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (anyone? anyone?). He was magnetic and delicious and it might have been my favorite performance of the year.

Also, Ryan Gosling. Sure, in Lars and the Real Girl you were drab and crazy, but boy are you super super talented...and as we've discussed on numerous occasions, talent is crazy Sexy. Also, I want to be friends with Rachel McAdams. Can you make that happen Ryan? Are you two still together? I hope so. I love when Canadians love Canadians.

This might have been my longest blog entry ever. But really, I love awards season b/c I am super opinionated and speaking your mind...oh so Sexy.

Answer to Nicolle's question:
Hey Urvi, thanks for the question. In my opinion, New Years' Eve is overrated. People try way to hard to make it a Sexy night...awesome outfits, champagne toasts, making out at midnight, etc. But I say, don't sweat it. Just get together with some friends and have a nice low key evening. Too many drunk people is very unSexy (at least to me). I'd rather chill with my Sexy buddy (what up Nicolle!), dress casual Sexy, and eat irresponsibly for one last time in the calendar year (hey I'll work out that morning...get off my back!). But really, for the last night of '07, make it a no pressure evening. Be cool and have fun and Sexy will be yours.

Question for Nicolle:
I just spilled 1/2 a cup of coffee on myself and now my pants and sweater are drenched. How can I salvage my Sexy today?

The 5 Sexiest Mythical Creatures

I love myself some mythical creatures. I realize that some people might say that’s terribly dorky of me (and they’d be right), but still I can’t help but enjoy their wild escapades more so than the average Joe’s. I already live a normal, rather mundane existence (not in Sexy 08 however); why not escape into the extraordinary lives of one of these Sexy beasts for entertainment purposes? So without further ado… Here’s the list of MY 5 Sexiest Mythical Creatures…

VAMPIRES: I know no one is shocked or surprised to see this, unless you don’t know me very well. There’s something about their strong, soulful darkness that really gets to me. The ultimate bad boys (and girls), vampires (at least the kind I’m talking about- ie Angel, Edward, sometimes Spike, Lestat, Louis) are tortured by the inner conflict between what they are (predators) and what they try to be (better people??). I find the whole package attractive; speed, strength, intelligence, pale skin (not really- that’s a joke), beautiful features… it’s just too much for me and too Sexy. O Edward! Admittedly, my wall of fiction is littered with vampire novels… reading is fundamental and SEXY!

WIZARDS AND WITCHES: From Harry Potter to Elphaba, those wacky Wiccas have really come into their own Sexy-wise over the last few years. I mean most of their stories are fraught with over-coming personal and social obstacles, like living with green skin OR suddenly being a lesbian OR you know having the most evil Wizard of all time hunting you down like a dog. And yet, they all succeed (ok so Elphaba has to hide away for ever and Willow lost her greatest love and went all EVIL and Harry- well you know he’s totally got major issues and goes to therapy like he’s getting paid time and a half) BUT in any case, they no longer have the bad rep, so to speak, in popular culture. Gone are the days of cackling wart covered fiends; now they are heroes and heroines. No more evil scary servants of Satan (they never really were, but o those wacky Puritans). Go Wicca and Magic wielding folks… we love your progress- it’s totally impressive and SEXY!

UNICORNS: Anyone ever read Sweet Valley Twins? If so, do you remember the Unicorn Club? Only the most beautiful (like Unicorns), popular girls in the middle school were chosen to be in the Unicorn Club. Jessica, not Elizabeth (cause she was a nerd) was chosen. See how that makes Unicorns Sexy? Ok no, maybe not so much. Another example: We are playing taboo and Curt turns to Maurice (my younger brother) and says “I’m an equine, with a long stick protruding from my upper-most appendage.” Maurice immediately responds with “Unicorn.” Very Smart and very the Sexy. Ok really, Unicorns have a phallic protrusion coming from their head and they are pretty and glittery. I loved all my “My Little Ponies” that were Unicorns (hey Moondancer) and um, that makes them Sexy. And Curt loves horses too! The End, Sexy.

SUPERHEROS: Curt recently asked me “What’s it like to want to have sex with a superhero?” My answer was “It’s awesome and it will happen one day.” I don’t know what it is about Superman, Batman… sometimes even Spiderman (though not very frequently), but the whole damsel in distress thing just gets me all fired up (I originally said juiced up, but hello to the Technicolor picture, huh?)… and of course, there are those feats of strength. (I like a man who’s strong, it’s just who I am) I own many Superhero movies, I watch them happily. A guy who can save the day, can take me anytime he wants… La, I just went to a happy place. Sexy!

SATAN: O my God, did I just say Satan was Sexy?? Ok, of all the biblical creatures, Satan definitely has the edge, my friends. He was an angel who rebelled against his “over-bearing” father and was thusly banished to the under-world to rule. How Sexy is that? It’s kinda Sexy, isn’t it? Ultimately, I think Lucifer gets a bad rap. He was guilty of all the things we humans are guilty of every day; ie Arrogance, Vanity, Pride, etc… He believed he was greater than his maker… how many of us are “guilty” of that sin as well. I’m just sayin’… In any case, Satan is supposedly the ultimate EVIL… ruling Hell. I mean, come on, you and I both know that makes him way cooler than let’s say Moses, Mr. Here are my Tablets. Get on the Beelzebub bus, my Sexy Friends. The Devil believed in himself, and so do I… SEXY! (Seriously, this is all a joke… Don’t freak out- tongue and cheek… calm down everyone who loves Jesus, I like him too)

Answer to Question of the Day:
The Sexiest dish on my family’s table at ChristmasTime is Pork Pie. I know that sounds totally gross to most people, but it’s really yummy. Well, I like it a lot and we only eat it on Christmas Eve. It must be a wacky New England treat because A. No one in Jersey knows about it and B. They are every where up there in the supermarkets. It’s a spiced ground beef and ground pork delight with chopped potatoes and onions. It is similar in taste to an empanada, honestly. O how I can’t wait to eat it on the 24th, what a holiday delight. My brothers and sister hate it and yet they are still forced to eat it every year. HA HA HA! How Sexy and Awesome is that?


Question to Curt:
Urvi, one of our readers and a fellow co-worker at the BC, would like to know “What’s the Sexiest way to celebrate the New Year?”

Not Everyone is Gonna Get it Folks...or...My Brother Doesn't Like this Blog

Sexy '08 is a Revolution. But in order for there to be a revolution, there have to be a few jackasses who stay behind and say things like, "I just love living like this under British rule" or "Taxation without representation? Fine by me!" If everyone joined the revolution it would be too easy, and part of what makes Sexy '08 so strong as a movement is that it's a tough but satisfying fight to fight.

That being said, I was surprised to learn last week that my own flesh and blood, my brother, Bryan with a Y, was not a supporter of Sexy '08. In an email correspondence, my yuppie, fiscally conservative brother complained that this blog was "not funny," "beneath me" and "not mean enough." Apparently, my brother, like many Americans, likes for his entertainers (and bloggers) to stay in little boxes. Apparently, just as we all want Julia Roberts to smile a lot with her horse teeth, my brother wants me to be snarky and bitchy all the time. Hey, we all love mean Curt. I agree, he is very funny but...

As loyal readers, you know that Sexy '08 requires a bit of positivity. In fact, feeling good about oneself insists that one be positive almost constantly. I can understand why my brother wants me to be negative. As a Republican, it must be hard for him to feel Sexy. He and his people have plunged our country into a whole mess of trouble both foreign (Iraq) and domestic (the TV writers' strike...I need some new Brothers & Sisters episodes!). I cannot imagine what it must be like to feel so downtrodden. How do you watch George Bush on TV and listen to that voice in your head that says, "Yup, I thought that was a good idea." How do you have a conversation with our Republican-hating father and feel like you have any credibility at all? How do you watch men kissing on the streets in your hometown of Homo-boken and reconcile with yourself that your people are standing in the way of their awesome Sexy love? He must be feeling negative all the time and surely wants the blogs he reads to reflect his current despair.

So Bryan with a Y, I feel your pain. Well, not really, I'm a Democrat and I'm pretty busy picking out my Hillary Clinton accessories. But seriously, even though you are a Republican, you can still be Sexy in '08. Focus on what is Sexy about you: You have Sexy powerful legs (runs in the family!), a fabulous new g/f (what up Laura!), plenty of hair, and a wit that allows you to hold your own (sorta) in a conversation with me and your sister, Hilary with one L.

Don't be your own unSexy enemy. Stay positive and Sexy will be yours, my brother (that's literal not that AAVE slang meaning.)

Answer to Nicolle's question:
Wow, Sexibear. Thank you for asking this important question. I'm afraid that I am not familiar with this song, but I will tell you that I have met Virginia, and she sucks. Anyone who sings songs about these crazy cracked out flaky girls must not be ready for a real relationship. I would encourage all Sexy people to avoid flakiness: you deserve someone who can keep to a schedule and call you back on time and who does not think that cowboy hats have any affect on their appearance besides making them look very silly (no offense to our cowboy followers...you look great!). But Train should be stopped. And Sexibear, you should just shower in silence or find other ways to amuse yourself besides listening to Top 40 drivel. I can think of a few ways.

Question for Nicolle:
What's the sexiest dish on your family's table at Christmastime?

Adventures in Sexying... Part 1

One could argue that I didn’t have a Sexy adventure this weekend, but that person would ultimately be sehr wrong (you are and you know it). True, I didn’t hook up with a mysteriously Sexy stranger under some picturesque mistletoe, nor did I really even get to use the girls (my breasts) for evil Sexy purposes on unsuspecting males… But despite all that, my weekend was so much fun and so chock full of laughter (and nuts), that it couldn’t be deemed anything else but Sexy. (even with my ridiculous snorting)

To begin with, Kristin and I went into the city (NYC) to meet up with our city men (Ken, Steve and Seth). This is now the third time this year that the five of us have gotten together and had an outrageously awesome time. There is only one word that accurately describes what happens when we are all together: LAUGHTER. There is nothing Sexier than a group of people who are just genuinely enjoying each other and not caring about anything else. None of us were on the “make” in any way shape or form and that took away the bad after taste of desperation. (Altoids can’t get rid of that stale pathetic taste and they are curiously strong.)

We drank and ate and laughed. Those are three pretty spanktastic verbs, only outdone by kissed and fucked, I think. I looked really good and felt SO Uber skinny for me (yes there was more vanity from me- staring at myself in the large shiny windows at Ken and Steve’s luscious pad. I was described as delicious a few times, and let’s face it- I am totally delicious (and always have been).

One thing, I attempted to be sexually threatening- but what came out was just threatening, I think. I was feeling very sassy, channeling my inner-Samantha (my niece) and being very snarky and it felt good. I missed this Nicolle, she felt in control and alive and really hott (my hair looked awesome people). AND not only was I able to keep up walking with everyone, a few times I actually surpassed them and was walking too fast for all those long, legged freaks I was with (sorry, but it’s true). How Sexy is that?

So- yes I didn’t get the magical mistletoe kiss and no one grabbed my boobs. (Although the ASS CUPPER did make a weird and awkward appearance- HILARIOUS) But I still had a rockin’ weekend full of TOO much laughter and lots of good cheer and a very interesting cylinder with patented pussy power (HA HA HA- how does it work??). Come on Sexy 08, I’m here and ready for the takin’!

Answer to Question of the Day:
The Sexiest reindeer is clearly the one that hit grandma!! HA HA, ok no seriously (right) the Sexiest reindeer is Blitzen. That name is like I’m READY NOW and GERMAN! Who doesn’t love an over eager German reindeer? I mean yea, Rudolph’s great with his red light district nose and all, but his name has DORK written all over it. So I go with Blitzen on name alone. “What did you do this weekend?” “I got BLIZTEN’D! WOOOO!”

Question to Curt:
Sexibear- one of our most loyal readers- queries “How do I reclaim my Sexy in the shower after I've been subjected to that awful song (HER EYES, by train lead vocalist Pat Monahan)? My showers are one of my only respites from the constant and awful studying. Why does Pat Monahan hate the world, and me, so much that he subjects us to this drivel?

The Sexiest Person of the Week: Brian "Dice" Finlay


I have heaps of Sexy friends (and enemies), but when it came time to choose my very first Sexy person of the week, it was a fast decision.




Brian Finlay( pictured above), 26, is a jocular native of the suburbs of St. Louis, MO, where he attended an all boys (Sexy!) Catholic (unSexy) high school. Today, Brian lives and works in the bustling city of Chicago. He is a talented improviser and writer and possibly the most popular person I know. This year Brian fulfilled a life-long dream (since March 2007) by completing the Chicago Marathon on a sweltering 90 degree day. He is a loyal follower of Sexy '08 and can be credited with the idea for the Sexiest Person of the Week.

I caught up with Brian, literally. He was jogging the streets of Chicago in snow boots when I sped up beside him in my motorized scooter (jazzy).

Curt: Brian, congratulations! You have been selected as Sexy '08's Sexiest Person of the Week!

Brian: First off, what an honor! I've been reading Sexy '08 since its launch date and I never expected this. I would like to thank Curt and Nicolle for this opportunity to share what I deem sexy.

Curt: Well, with this honor also comes the responsibility of imparting your Sexy wisdom onto our followers. Are you ready?

Brian: Shoot!

Curt: Ok, what is your Sexy's power source (what is the one thing about you that fuels your Sexy and keeps it going, even on an unSexy day)?

Brian: My Sexy power source has to be the people I have around me. I have some great friends, and they all mean a lot to me. Even people I don't know so well can be a source of Sexy. Because any person can teach us new sexy things, or some people even help us by giving us a glimpse of what is NOT sexy...i.e. a grumpy office co-worker, a mean bus driver, etc. And to those people, it's our responsibility to show them the "sexy light".

Curt: Word. Last week Nicolle asked her Sexy friend Quiche what the sexiest Spanish word she knew was, but I know you took French. What's the Sexiest French word you know?

Brian: I suppose that would be denouement. Simply because I just like the pronunciation.

Curt: You often introduce yourself as "Dice." Is Dice a different entity that Brian? Who is Sexier, Dice or Brian?

Brian: Well I think that the name Dice definitely conjures up a unique image in one's head. If you hear the name you would probably expect to be meeting a tough bad-ass sorta guy. I doubt I live up to the name. But I suppose whichever name I'm going by does not cause me to act to different.

I've thought the name Dice was pretty cool since sophomore year of high school. Sadly, the nickname is self-given. I've been told by many friends that I am a dork for making up my own nickname. I have also been told that any self given nickname does not stick...but this one did. Maybe it was my sexiness that allowed it to prevail. It does generally catch me off guard when someone I am not too familiar with calls me Dice.

Curt: Brian Finlay, this has been a big year for you. Marathon, Screenplay, Cunty picnics. What was the Sexiest moment of 2008 for you?

Brian: Wow this has been a sexy year, hasn't it?! Probably when I conjured up "I Cunt Believe It's Not Butter".

Curt: Ah yes, during a rousing round of my favorite long distance car game, "A very Cunty picnic."

Brian: Indeed.

Curt: Well Brian, my jazzy isn't handling the snow too well, so here's one final question. If you had one piece of advice for our Sexy followers as to how they might negotiate the Holiday season at their Sexy best, what would it be?

Brian: Send a note to someone that doesn't expect it, letting them know it has been a pleasure being friends with them this year. I keep all my holiday cards and other notes because if I'm ever having a glum day I can easily look back at these and see how much love there is in my life! That should go further than any other gift you could give...unless of course you have Starburst Jelly Beans....those are pretty good.

Curt: Thanks so much, Brian. Enjoy the rest of your run!

Then he sprinted away into the falling snow. Very Sexy.

Answer to Nicolle's question:
The sexiest character in the Christmas cannon has got to be Parson Brown. In the song "Winter Wonderland," the speaker wishes for his/her snowman to turn into this Sexy religious officiant to perform a marriage ceremony. Parson Brown is a traveller, as he'll "do the job when [he's] in town. He must be visiting an awful lot of sleepy snowy villages, marrying local and, in my imagination, he can often be found at the local watering hole, making eyes at all of the attractive young men...wooing them back to his hotel room, making love to them all night, praying with them in the morning, and then heading off to another village to marry some schmos who built a snowman. I also picture him in a warm wool turtleneck sweater underneath which is that religious collar thing. Sexy.

Question for Nicolle:
Who is the Sexiest of Santa's eight reindeer?

El-FABULOUS: Why Idina Menzel Defies Sexy Gravity

I have a tiny asexual girl crush on Idina Menzel (Of Enchanted, Wicked, and Rent Fame- look her up on Google). Now I know most of you do not know who she is (and are wondering what a tiny asexual girl crush is)… that’s your loss, not mine. For me, about two years ago I guess, I stumbled upon Wicked (the musical) and I was smitten instantly. Mind you, not with the pretty blondeness of Kristen Chenoweth, but with the grotesque green-ness and awesome voice of Idina Menzel’s Elphaba. She blew me away and now it’s my turn to share her Sexy with you.

Idina is not conventionally pretty (but really, who is- who’s worth it). But I find her harsh features and belting voice to be spanktastically Sexy. I mean, she’s drowning in green face paint and a hideous wig (ahhhhh wigs- not Sexy) in Wicked and I still found her completely awesome. And she wins the guy in the end for being uniquely herself (Super Ugly, Uber-Powerful, Super Witch, and completely misunderstood). Not to mention her voice is just power power power! If you have not listened to Defying Gravity, you need to STAT. It’s so Sexy (you know what’s even Sexier, Curt and I singing it- HOTT). O Idina, I relate all too well to your Elphaba’s trials and tribulations (well except I’m not green and hated by everyone I know…), you truly rock my Ipod world.

Now I have some friends (you know who you are) who do not find Idina to be attractive. All I have to say to you is TAYE DIGGS people. That’s right… she’s married to Taye Diggs. Need I say more? He’s totally HOTT, like for reals. As I type this, funnily enough, a belting rousing song from Wicked is blaring from my Itunes- the universe knows she’s great and you should too.

The truth is I heart Idina because of her talent. Much like Curt’s poetic rhapsodizing on Glen Close last week, Idina’s crazy talent has made her crazy Sexy (and ushered in an asexual girl crush). Now I’ve gone on to see her in Rent the movie and to see her in the new HIT MOVIE Enchanted, and I still loved her as both a wacky, flakey, whimsical (UGH) lesbian and the “other” girl, who’s not quite as good as the lead (BOOOO). I am happy to see her doing well and making a name for herself outside the tiny world of Broadway Musicals. Go Idina, be insanely-talented, make love to your hott husband Taye Diggs, and sing your brains out… you are a Sexy mo-fo and I love you for it. Defy Sexy Standards with your awesome voice and crazy harsh features and nobody in all of Oz, no wizard that there is or was, is ever going to bring you (or me, or our Sexy crew) down!!!

Answer to Question of the Day:
The tastiest thing this Xmas? O Curt you are soooo dirty (and Sexy). Or maybe I’m just dirty cause I immediately “went there” with that question… In any case, I’m looking forward to the sweet taste of revenge. I know that doesn’t sound terribly “Good will to all” and what not and I won’t be “putting it in my mouth,” but honestly, the happier and more content I get with my life the more I know it’s sweet, succulent revenge on a certain someone who tried to ruin my holidays last year. So yes, bring on the good times, the optimism of new love, the presents and good cheer… (door bells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles)… with every awesome moment- revenge tastes sweeter and sweeter and nothing tops that- except maybe my mom’s chocolate chip cookies!

Question to Curt:
Who’s the Sexiest Holiday Character out there?

Curt's Five Sexiest Fruits and Vegetables

Fruits and Vegetables are part of a well balanced (and Sexy) diet. Here, in no particular order are the Sexiest fruits and vegetables. Next time you are in the produce section and feeling a bit unSexy, pick one of these guys up. I'm sure you'll get a boost.

Bananas. These guys are really tasty and versatile. They can give you energy before strenuous activity, make your morning cereal more satisfying, or provide a very happy ending to a savory meal. Also, for some reason, they just look Sexy.

Cucumbers. These guys are the source of pickles! I don't love pickles but I love the image of someone eating a nice juicy pickle, y'know?

Zucchini. These are not cucumbers but they are just as attractive. You can shred this up and bake it into a tasty sweet bread, or you can just hold it for a while. Either way, I think you'll agree there's something Sexy about zucchini.

Carrots. Big think ones. Not those creepy little baby carrots...those are weird and, well a bit wrong. Carrots are good for your eyes, and I love a nice pair of eyes. So keep eating carrots if you want your eyes to stay pretty. Now that I think of it, I think carrots help your eyesight. Well, keep eating carrots if you want to maintain your sense of sight. Sight is Sexy.

Apples. To me, these are not the most attractive but they have such a Sexy history what with that whole garden naked snake shame god thing it has going. Naked people in a garden can be Sexy, and naked people being forced to leave a garden and put on fabulous clothes all b/c of an apple...whoa. that must be one powerful and Sexy fruit (like me...rim shot!).

Next time you make out your grocery list, make sure you have one of these Sexy and healthy delights on it. You and your Sexy will thank me for it.

Answer to Nicolle's question:
Why the Sexiest Christmas song just happens to be my very favorite Christmas song as well: Oh Hole-y Night. So so sexy, especially with the ecstatic and highly sexual scream of Diviiiiiiiine at the climax of the song. Hot. Call me Josh Groban.

Question for Nicolle:
What's something tasty (and Sexy) that you are looking forward to putting in your mouth this Christmas?

You're all lucky you get a blog, cause I'm Sick.

First of all, I’d like to wish a Happy (Sexy) Birthday to two of our loyal and smoldering readers, Sexibear and Trish! Happy (Sexy) Birthday you Sassy Sagitarians!!

Secondly, and more importantly, I’m sick. I know, how awful to befall me now during the season of giving and all. But alas, it has. Now normally there’d be a whole spiel here about how unSexy I feel, but not today, not with Sexy 08 shining its celestial body so bright and close… Nope, instead I’m here to tell you how you too can spin “sick” into Sexy Gold! (Sexy Gold sounds awesome, doesn’t it?)

Ok to begin with, I have that totally Sexy raspy “sick” voice going on. I’m like Kathleen Turner without all that Joan Wilder non-sense. (if you do not understand this reference, you may be suffering from pop-culturosis, go rent Romancin’ the Stone ASAP). Many people have commented today on how sassy and low my voice is; everyone loves themselves some laryngitis voice strain. I just think it sounds like me, only cooler and more edgy. And everyone knows an edgy Nicolle is crazy Sexy.

I’m also sporting that aloof “sick” attitude you get when you’re so delusionally ill you don’t really care about much of anything, except closing your eyes. I’m like a socialite from Gossip Girl with my general “What? Are you talking to me?” I just can’t seem to get myself out of neutral mentally and so I just don’t care about anything. It’s totally sizzling to be remote and mysterious- men fall for that non-sense hook, line and Sexy. Thank you Strep Throat, thank you!

Another fun and Sexy part of being “sick” is how nice everyone is because they feel bad for you. “Awwww you’re sick? Do you need anything?” (Maybe this only happens at my job where everyone seems to like me, but still it’s really nice). I mean how great do you feel about yourself when everyone is offering to help you out and get you hot tea and graham crackers? (What do you mean this doesn’t happen at your job?) It’s really sweet and confidence boosting knowing that all these people care about you, even when you can’t seem to figure out how to use the electric pencil sharpener because your brain is fried from the fever. “I stick it where?” So silly and so Sexy!

So you see, being “sick” in the coming year is just another excuse to unleash your Sexy Ass all over your friends, family, and co-workers. There’s no need to wear those sweats and sit at home, all alone. No, my Sexy friends, go to work (or wherever you go)- hacking up a lung and sneezing everywhere and share your Sexy Sickness with the world. Being “sick” is no longer an excuse to hibernate your life away. Get some Awesome Designer Kleenex, a Hott scarf and hat, and show them those flushed, feverous cheeks (I know! I totally thought of ass cheeks too). You are totally Sexy, even with that Strep Throat, and you aren’t going to hide any more!!

Answer to Question of the Day:
Well, you should all know that I’m getting Sexier with each passing minute so shopping for Xmas gifts has become increasingly more difficult. What I mean to say is, I stop and stare at myself in reflective surfaces all over the place (window displays, shiny Christmas ornaments, the coffee machine at work) and I get all caught up in my own marvelin’ at my ever shrinking waist-line. (I really do look good). So I tend to lose time here and there. (I think most people call it blacking out, but that’s just semantics) But other than that, I have more stamina for the shopping (and other things- come and get the Sexy boys) and I don’t need sugary pick me ups, like coffee drinks or soda (just some Cold-Stone Creamery cause of my Sore Throat). I’m a Sexy, hott-ass, shopping machine, though thank god not a shiny one or I’d never get anythin… O wait what, I was distracted for second… I just saw my reflection in my picture frame on my desk, Sexy!

Question to Curt:
What’s the Sexiest Christmas Carol (covering the beginning of time to o, let’s say now)?

Hey Melancholy, Keep on Walkin'

Yesterday was not a Sexy day for this Sexy revolutionary. I got a visit from my old friend, Melancholy. Now, Melancholy and I are not that close, and, to be honest, we never were. I just never quite had much fun while he (my melancholy is a man) was around, but yesterday, for some reason, I was due for a visit. Maybe it was a lack of sleep or the fact that I didn't work out or the prospect of another long week at work looming...whatever it was, Melancholy came in for a visit. He complained about how messy my apartment is; he rained on me and my favorite winter coat (the Miracle of Christmas); he made sure that I tutored some irritating children; he made some snide comments about my Sexy with undertones of judgement regarding my "romantic" life. All in all, not a pleasant visit.

Then he decided to stay the night and alluded to the possibility of coming with me to work. He sat beside me in the front seat and was with me most of the trip. But somewhere on Skokie Blvd., he opened the door and ran out into traffic.

How did I do it? How did I send my Melancholy away, especially early on a Monday morning? Well, Sexy friends, I'll tell you how.

1. I got on the horn with my Sexy Buddy. I gave my Sexy confidant, Nicolle, a ringy ding and we talked shit about my Melancholy with him sitting right there in my front seat. We talked about how he was no fun, how I did not want him to stay for long, how I did not really have time to devote to him. Guys, I think I might have made him uncomfortable, like how your friend does when s/he sits in your passenger seat and has an entire conversation via cell phone instead of entertaining you, the driver. Well, it's rude, but I didn't feel bad doing it to my Melancholy.

2. I started to plan my Sexy week. Improv shows, a Christmas party, cookie-making, treadmill, swimming pool, putting away my laundry. All of these things sounded like no fun to Melancholy. If it were up to him I would have just bitched about work, but you know what? He don't call the shots. Sexy people talk about what they like.

3. ABBA. Melancholy wants you to listen to sad or angry songs. He wants you to pop in some Tori Amos or Ben Folds or Leonard Cohen. He wants you to sing along with them and make yourself more like him, a drip. Maybe I'm weird, but I like to listen to those folks when I'm happy. It makes me appreciate the beauty of their Music & Lyrics (what up Drew Barrymore). When I am sad though, nothing turns me around like some Sexy spandex wearin', crazy-harmonizin' Swedes. All it took was two ABBA songs this morning (Take A Chance On Me & Chiquitita) before my Melancholy ran screaming into the street. Oh and by the way, Melancholy, if you're reading this, I have manual locks.

Now I'm ready to have a Sexy day, even though I'm at work and likely to be Grand Marshall of the Skokie Crazy Parade. One Sexy day leads to a Sexy week to a Sexy month to a Sexy '08.

Answer to Nicolle's question:
Sexiest day? Why when someone is on top of their Sexy game, the calendar has no meaning whatsoever! Be it 2:00pm on a Tuesday or 1:00am on a Saturday, Sexy is ready willing and able to deliver for you. I learned that lesson this morning at the unlikely Sexy time of 7:58am.
Just remember, you have the power to make any day or any time Sexy, not the sun or the moon or that arbitrary mo'fo' Father Time.

Question for Nicolle:
How has being Sexy affected your Christmas shopping?
