December Daily: Unexpectedly sexy

[resonant]

cesperanza asks: What three things do you find unexpectedly sexy?

1. Glasses. Pretty much anyone who's attractive to me without glasses is about four times as attractive with them.

2. Singing. I'm constantly getting choir crushes because people become more attractive when they're singing harmony with me.

3. Moving toward the center of the gender spectrum. To make a woman more attractive to me, give her a butch haircut or a wardrobe low in ornaments. To make a man more attractive to me, give him jewelry.

4. armadillo1976: Dec 4. From the perspective of a parent of a big(ish) kid, what do you remember most/best from the time your kid was 1-2?
(Asking as a mom of a 1.5 year old, terrified that she is going to forget all the love and beauty and mess of these times...)
5. grammarwoman: what's a go-to comfort meal for you?
6. cesperanza: What three things do you find unexpectedly sexy?
7. jesse_the_k: What's a garment that's well-loved by fandom, to the point of fanonization, that you really don't care for. Examples might be Fraser's hat; Ronon's gun; Sherlock's coat...
8. monanotlisa: What's the hardest thing to write for you, and how do you get around it and yet write it?
9. china_shop: Thoughts about writing original fic vs writing fanfic, whether it's different processes, different feelings (or the same process, and the same feelings), or whatever.
10. julad: What was publishing Exog like for you? The good, the not so good, the unexpected.
11. reginagiraffe: what was the best birthday present you ever got? (You can supply your own definition of "best".)
12. james: Is there a tv show or movie that you would pay a billion dollars to get either a re-working of an episode or a sequel to? (It might not cost that much. Millions.) Because sometimes fanfic isn't enough, you just need to see it on-screen.
13. mific: If you had to give up one of your 5 senses (you know, to save Atlantis or Benton Fraser's life, or suchlike), which would it be and why?
14. james: Which (if any) Harry Potter book is the best totally on its own, with no meta or context or fanfic to bolster it up?
15. james: Who is the most obscure composer, band, or individual musician that you adore?
16. zulu: best vacation/break you ever had?

Huh. I definitely agree with 1 and 2, and when I thought of examples to go with 3, I could see the appeal. I wouldn't have thought of it in those terms, but there's definitely something sexy there.

It's fairly common for me to see a photo of a young celebrity that I'm unfamiliar with and think, "If that's a woman, she's very attractive. If it's a man, I'm not interested."

I'm 100% with you on the gender thing. Give men eyeliner though!

[resonant]

After I read this comment, I did a Google image search for men with eyeliner, and found that I generally agree with you -- except that some men need a sleek, smooth eye look and some need a rough, smudgy eye look. I feel like Adam Lambert would look better if he went with less slick and more smudge, but maybe it's just me.

[jelazakazone]

Oooh, good point. I agree. I think some men can rock either. (cough Sebastian Stan cough)

[kass]

Ohhhh yes singing in harmony.

[resonant]

Ha, I'm not the only one, then!

+1

Close harmony singing is better than sex, ime

[grammarwoman]

1 & 3 - boy howdy! Glasses are super hot. :)

Here's where I wish I could combine DW's ability to have a reasonable conversation with tumblr's ability to post many many photos.

I am right there with you on all three. My #4 would be freckles.

I find freckles more cute than sexy, but I definitely like to look at them.
