Madonna. Somehow I find the idea of being lashed to the bedposts and having hot wax dripped on me by the author of sanctimonious children’s books {the books are sanctimonious, not the children} oddly alluring: "And then Mrs Hoppity Bunny…{You’ve been a naughty boy, haven’t you?}…skipped along the road to the market…{Mistress knows how to punish naughty boys.}…to buy a basket of vegetables…{Say it! Say you want to be punished!}…for all the little baby bunnies…{ Naughty boys shouldn’t play with fire, or they might get burnt - by Mistress.}…so they could all enjoy a feast of delicious juicy carrots…{Drip. Sizzle. Aarrghh!}…that very evening. The End. ---

I should have posted earlier. No one’s going to read post 41. At this point people are just making their own contributions that no one else is going to read. Well, if you don’t read this post then you’re just one fewer person I have to compete with in my quest to have nasty dirty sex with [Rebecca Godfrey](http://www.harpercanada.com/godfrey/USpages/bio.html) (Sorry, that’s the best image I could find online- she’s in the upper left-hand corner!). She wrote a novel called _The Torn Skirt_, quite a good novel. A great story, and her writing style is captivating and poetic in a beat kind of way. Combine talent and good looks and you’ve got someone **bienville** really wants to have nasty dirty sex with- I can often do without the good looks if the first criterion is sufficiently fulfilled! ---

Damn you **Case Sensitive**! I _specifically_ referred to my own post as “Post 41” then you jump in ahead of me and ruin everything! ---

While this does happen to a lot of long Café Society and IMHO threads, in this case there are pictures of hot women writers to be ogled at, and therefore each post is being scrutinised, as someone with a microscope studies creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. ---

Well, Anne Coulter is notoriously good looking, as long as you’re one of those “judge the book by the cover” types. However, she is living proof of the saying “Beauty is skin deep, crazy goes down to the bone.” ---

Hey, I’m still checking it. I’m keeping this list for my personal records. Thanks to everyone for their contributions, but especially to \*\*Eve \*\* for Anita Loos. I’ll be dreaming about her. ---

> [@Finagle](#): > > Well, Anne Coulter is notoriously good looking, as long as you’re one of those “judge the book by the cover” types. However, she is living proof of the saying “Beauty is skin deep, crazy goes down to the bone.” No! No! No no no no no no no no no! That’s the thing – her whole schtick is that she can get away with being such a disgusting person because she is, as she describes herself at any opportunity, a good-looking Republican woman. But she’s not! If I didn’t know anything about her, and I were being charitable, I’d give her “plain.” And no, it’s not a “know your audience” thing. I’ve got plenty of straight guys who’ll back me up on this one. She’s a hag. ---

[Flannery O’Connor](http://www.rivistaprometheus.it/rivista/i9/autrice.jpg) was something of a hottie. Seconding Carson McCullers and Anita Loos. ---

> [@Tenar](#): > > Hmmm. Four “hot” authors, three suicides. I hope Ms. Schulman is on antidepressants. Actually, has anyone ever graphed the attractiveness vs. self-editing tendencies of women authors? My wife’s cousin has made millions writing bodice-rippers and while she may be fat, she nonetheless is repellant and grating. I’d donate the liposuction if it would increase the chance that…no, never mind. That way lies madness. ---
