**Bippy** and **bouv** , how you doin’? Wanna go for a drive? :revs the engine for effect: 😉 Personally, I’m fascinated by hands. I think they are the most elegant, graceful machines. I’m particularly partial to long, thin hands. And older women’s hands with age-spots are especially fascinating. They just look so capable yet refined. Too bad my current bf has thick, heavy hands. ☹ But he makes up for it by knowing how to use them. 😃 ---

Although I think Freud is a crackpot on many levels, I think he’s got something when it comes to guns. Completely non-sexual scenes, like in **The Boondock Saints** [spoiler] The two occasions when the twins pray and then oh-so-stylishly shoot the guy in the head at the same time. [spoiler] are very hot. Or others like in\*\* Resident Evil\*\* (first one) and other movies where a lone trio of people are back to back to form kinda a triangle as they hold off the enemy, also hot. Could be I’m just warped, though. :dubious: ---

It’s excellent evidence for the social conditioning of sexual response. Yeah, I’ll never understand that social conditioning. Female armpit hair is SO HOT. Again, definitely not the Don-King-in-a-headlock thing, but a normal amount. A small amount of fine back hair can also be sexy, oddly enough. And even weirder, pubic hair has sort of gone out of style. I’ll never understand that. Sure, trim it a bit or whatever, but at least some hair needs to be there for it to look right. And armpit hair is like a pubic hair preview. And while we’re on the subject of female musicians with hot armpit hair, I should mention Amanda Palmer of the Dresden Dolls. But when I saw them live, I wasn’t all that awed by it, since I was too busy being awed by their passion and musical proficiency. ---

Non-sexual: Jellyfish. Except for the Portugese Man-O-War. Those are ugly, and I know firsthand that it _really_ sucks to be stung by one. Airships. Screw the Lear jet, I want a blimp. Or at least a hot-air balloon. [Nixies.](http://www.amug.org/~jthomas/clockpage.html) Bottles. Way back when me and my mother were living with my grandmother, there was a section of the woods surrounding the house that, apparently, had been used as a garbage dump a long time ago. Every once in a while, we’d go looking for old bottles and stuff. My sister actually found one with a fern growing inside of it. Even now, sometimes I’ll buy liquor just because it has a pretty bottle that I want to display in my room. ---

Petite young women in big, clunky old cars gets me going - it’s something about young independant women… … also knee high socks and elbow length gloves (I love Audery Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s - I’ve seen it about 20 times and I still get teary at the end…does anyone have a thing for SNAGS??). ---
