Ask me a question

I’ve opened up this write panel every day for the past week, and haven’t written a single word. Am I taking the easy way out by copying Amanda and opening myself up to interrogation.
Ask me a question, anything you like, and I will answer. Remember though that my Dad reads this blog, so don’t ask anything too embarrassing.
Apart from that, though, go ahead and ask!

The Pussycat Dolls: Arms, Legs, and Breasts
This entry was posted on September 2, 2008
I’ve been watching some Pussycat Dolls music videos recently. It might be the inner conservative in me (heck, I didn’t even know that I had an inner conservative), but are they really supposed to be attractive? They’re undeniably very beautiful women (Carmit excluded, as her face looks as though it’s been run over by a bulldozer), they obviously have incredibly toned dancers bodies, and they know how to move…but really, are they supposed to be attractive?
It’s their outfit choices I think. I’m actually surprisingly a huge conservative when it comes to clothing. I believe that as a woman, you choose one of three features to accentuate when you dress - either arms, legs, or breasts. Not two, and certainly not three - you choose one to show off, and cover up the other two. Leave something to the imagination, as the more you cover up to begin with, the more titillating the sight of skin in a more intimate setting.
The wardrobe choices of the Pussycat Dolls (more accurately, the choices of their stylist) doesn’t exactly leave a lot to the imagination. Don’t they realise that less is more is a false phrase in the case of clothing?

Take the above image as an example. Now, as I like to think of this as a scientific study of their outfit choices and the concept of calculated flaunting of arms/legs/breasts, place refer to the following table:
| Jessica Sutta | Ashley Roberts | Nicole Scherzinger | Melody Thornton | Carmit Bachar | Kimberley Wyatt | |
| Arms | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Legs | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Breasts | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | No | Yes |
Isn’t it clear that they just show too much of everything? I can’t imagine anyone who won’t eventually become desensitised to that much bared skin - the more you see it, the more you dispassionately view it, and it’ll never be erotic again. For a dance/music troup that trades on their eroticism, they’re sure not going about maintaining it in a way that’ll guarantee longevity in the industry.
Of course with all this said, I’m still going to blast their music when I’m home alone, and dance around, gradually shedding items of clothing as I get my freak on. It’s excellent arse-shaking music, and I’m the type of girl that likes to shake her arse.
Today’s post is with much thanks to Amanda. Personally I love the Pussycat Dolls, but I do agree with what Amanda is saying here.
