Women in plaid workshirts, with the sleeves rolled up - especially if they’re driving pickup trucks. Wow.

Love accents, love 'em. Get all weak kneed, of course my SO has none, but that’s okay.

Love dark, intense-looking men. I am very fair so I just love the look of dark naked skin against my pale skin, mmmm.

Like tall big guys. I am 5’9" so I love it when I feel small and petite beside my man, mmmmm.

I like straight even teeth, smiles are a big turn-on.

Any uniform is a huge plus, sports, military, cop, even settle for the knaki and golf shirt, cleats combo for golf.

Certain kinds of cologne can… can… oh excuse me I need some “alone time”.

_sigh_ Oh maaaan…now I have to post here.

-The whole hair thing. I recently had my hair cut professionally for the first time in 8 years, and I am definitely making it a bimonthly thing. Basically, brush my hair and I will melt. But none of that hair petting stuff. Do I look like a freakin’ lapdog?

-Shoulder rubs. We used to have these huge shoulder-rub-circles at drumline practices…aaaahhhhh. It was fun to watch people’s eyes glaze over.

-Getting picked up…literally, as in so my feet are not touching the floor. I cannot explain this one.

-Watching guys write. I think it’s because I almost never see them doing it, for whatever reason. Even watching my boyfriend fill out a check at Wal-Mart makes me a little ga-ga.

guys with European or Australian accents

guys with deep voices

guys that are intelligent and well spoken

guys that are shy/quiet (still waters do run deep. Once they know that you’re interested, they can be very appreciative…mmmmmmm)

Turn ons:  
Slightly hefty chicks with tatoos.

Skinny chicks with shrill voices.

But, hey, I’m kind of a perv…

Time to update a bit:  
guys with nice legs in kilts [mmmmm, kilt boy!-Jessica, you know who I mean]  
Tim Curry in drag from RHPS [no clue why, it just turns me on. Any other moment, he is ugly to me.]  
Dark or gray eyes with long eyelashes  
full lips and a smile  
Sometimes a gothic look will totally turn me on.
