Librarians are a sexy lot. Sure, weā€™re not overtly sexy; but our subtlety more than makes up for it. I also find mimes and carnies sort of sexy. ---

I donā€™t have a profession to add to this discussion, butā€¦ When I took Life Drawing in college one of our regular models was a firemanā€“with the archetypical firemanā€™s build and even the moustache! I still have my drawings, and theyā€™re damn good. I canā€™t scan them 'cause theyā€™re too big, but maybe Iā€™ll eventually take pictures of 'em and post 'em. Bluethree (married to a soldier.
