hadsome man. Ok-ish ad. Man i've seen a lot of ads do that dress-change trick lately, it's a huge trend.

I don't think I've ever heard a straight man utter "gorgeous" unironically.

I mean, I totally knew this post was by a woman just from that word alone. Wonder what other words are dead giveaways like that.

I know that white model from somewhere. I think I've seen her in a movie.

Jan, your friend is hot. In that "I'm going to age gracefully like the next James Bond" sort of way.

Derail (my apologies -- Eidetecker reminded me of a story):

I have heard a straight man utter "gorgeous" unironically. He was uttering it at me, in fact. When I was married to my now-ex. In front of my now-ex. At age 32. At my highest weight, which was 240 lbs at 5'9". While I was wearing a renaissance gypsy costume (It was a costume benefit).

In addition, the person in question was the lead singer in a local rock band, and a total hottie (especially if you, like I, get the hots for small men).

He then picked me up (!!) and gave me the raunchiest hug that I've ever had in my life, swinging me around using his pelvis as leverage. (note: although my friends in the band were harmlessly flirtatous, that's not why we broke up.)

I should note that my now-ex's response was, "Why doesn't he ever hug ME like that?" (note: although my now-ex was probably less than totally straight, that's not why we broke up.)

In retrospect, that was one of the greatest gifts I've ever been given.

In retrospect, if I needed that kind of attention from friends because I wasn't getting it from my now-ex, I should have seen that there were problems in the marriage.

In retrospect, that was still probably one of the greatest gifts I've ever been given.

I recognized her too. VS model, wikipedia lists her as a face for Next.

i just saw a commercial for some stomach medicine called Aciphex. It's pronounced like "ass effects." That's not right.

eth, i've been hearing that for a couple weeks now. What where they thinking?!
posted by MonkeyButter 08 May | 22:49
It was the only reason i actually looked up and watched, to see what they were talking about.
