I have no problem with women who are dirty, just so long as it’s in the moral/spiritual sense, rather than the ‘needs a bath’ sense. In this horny old man’s opinion. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Debaser \* > \*\*Anybody else see the latest Maxim. Whoa! \*\* Yes. I do have it. It is the only issue of Maxim that I intend on keeping. It is as close to a Playboy spread as you can get without seeing pubes or nips. I whipped up a couple batches of batter with that issue. I have said a few critcial comments about her clothes in the past, and I stand by them. But out of clothes the girl is fucking hot and has a banging body. ---

My suspicion is that Spears and Aguilera dress as they do because they are serving as sexual avatars for their young, female fans (whom I believe constitute the bulk of the fans for both singers). They experiment with their sexuality publicly on behalf of their fans, which is also how Madonna was able to hold on to the very fickle young female demographic for so long. Obviously, when their experimentation leads to sexy outfits, young guys get interested, too. As does Bob Dole. BTW, it’s a real pleasure to post in a thread whose title is that an attractive woman should run around naked (or nearly so) a lot. ---

the “choreography” is everything in this video. if christina was wearing the same clothes just standing still with a microphone i would fall asleep for sure 🙂 whoever was in charge of the “moves” was a pure genius. there is nothing artificial-looking about them, the moves are kept so very simple and so fucking sexy. usually in any video there is a lot of RIDICULOUS hand/arm movements going on, but in this one christina barely moves her hands at all instead much moving is done by the body, ass and legs, which are the parts we really want to see without any flapping arms (or clothes) getting in the way. amazing, she went from totally unappealing in “moulin rouge” video to absoulutely banging in “dirty” even though she was basically equally stripped in both. it might be something elese too, she seems to have gained a little substance in hear thighs, which is a good thing for her 🙂 ---

I might like her look if I was a petri dish manufacturer. Otherwise, no. ---

OK, there was a copy of Maxim at the grocery store today with Aquilera on the cover today, and I figured it was the one you were talking about, and I looked at the pics, and she is definitely gorgeous. I mean, I can understand that people might have their own standards but by any reasonable standard she is very attractive. Fully worthy of being on magazine covers on the basis of her looks alone. Not that I bought the magazine. But then, I’ve got the Internet. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/christina-aguilera-should-wear-pants-once-in-a-while-i-disagree/146334.md?page=2)
