I want me

It's a great thing when you discover your inherent sex appeal. It is a freeing as a cool breeze on a hot night. When you can look in a mirror and really like what you see and in fact you want you to some degree - well that's just nice. The trouble is so many of us don't dig ourselves. I see it day in and day out. Flesh under some cumbersome tunic of polyvicose. Hair styles that look like the person cut it themselves in a dark room.

Now, the wrinkle is the tartation of 13 year old girls. They have tarnished the sex appeal crown. The fact that boobs are popping left and right and navels are so passe is testament not to self awareness but to a lemming like following of Miss Big Booty aka JLO. The flagrant is tawdry(and not in a good way darlings) and one dimensional. It's only the latest in a long line of devices used to disarm the pubescent male. Except now it's so in your face it's hard to look away.

What this has done besides cause a run on "I just ate a sparerib" lip gloss and crop tops is really whacked the shit out of subtlety. Now I'm certainly not against loosening the girdles. I just liked the cleanliness of how this century looked like it was starting out. I like the smooth hair and the crisp lines. I can now even stomach beige. I like that people seemed to be embracing their natural sex appeal. With all the boys highlighting their hair and frankly looking a little girly; well we have a competition ladies and gentlemen.

Where is there room for a non-flashy, I don't wear crop tops kind of person? It's simple - it's already there. Sex appeal is intrinsic to your self. It is the way you smile and breathe. It's a confidence that just melds with you one day. Remember the first time you were aware of your sexuality? Well, it's as fresh as that and equally heady. Embrace your sex appeal and don't be all Oprah about it, just like you.

It's casual day at work tomorrow and I going to see the same sweat pant Sallies and sausage casing jeans. In the crowd will be the few, the proud and the confident. They will be unaffected and able to say they have never owned a toe ring. They will give off an aura that hucksters have tried to bottle forever. I will see them and I will be attracted to them. And they don't have to show me their ass crack to do it. Now eventually would be nice but...
