      3. It was not about the wearing of perfume, it was the theme of every commercial….the plastic woman with a plastic man, made up to be the Queen of Sheba and Adonis in an impossible garden, oozing sexuality that is not realistic….and you do not even know what the hell they are advertising, “make believe Harlequin” or flowing gowns with pearl necklaces. Who is their audience, the shut in hermit who is petting her 52 cats while watching “The Bachelorette” and dreaming it was her?

  4. “Who is their audience… ?”

    Good question because I believe there is none despite what Hollywood convinces itself to believe. If anything, we all watch those commercials as rubberneckers. Which is precisely why we’re all so fascinated with the Mafia- I’ve watched Godfather 1,2,3, Goodfellas, Donnie Brasco, the Sopranos, etc. time and time again because I can’t believe those people exist!

    We’re all interested in a world that doesn’t subsist for us, no?

    Breakfast at Tiffany’s was my breakthrough. 🙂 After watching that movie decades ago, I still wear little black dresses and black Ray Bans and I’d be lying that during every shopping trip, the question in the back of my mind is not WWAD?

  7. Because I’m so tired of discussing politics, let’s have some fun and let our female members list some of their favorite celebrities who could possibly sell sex. 🙂

    I’ll start:

    1. Johnny Depp BEFORE he stopped washing his hair, gained a lot of weight, and tattooed his entire body. He was at his height in Donnie Brasco.
    2. Brad Pitt BEFORE he abandoned all hygienic grooming as well. I prefer to remember him as he appeared in A River Runs Through It and Legends of The Fall. Yowser!
    3. And my personal favorite… Clay Matthews, former NFL linebacker. Word has it that he’s a nice guy too which makes him even more attractive.

    Ladies?

    1. So cute 🙂 One of my most precious memories is of walking my little brother home from his first day or first week-I can’t remember-of first grade. He explained to me in very serious tones that he was in love with a little black haired girl in his class. Over 40 years later, I don’t think he has ever even looked at a woman unless she has dark hair.

      Some men start earlier than others, lol 🙂
