This Is This

There are two kinds of sexy in my book. It’s not literally a sexy book, this isn’t that kind of website, but figuratively there are two kinds.

First you’ve got your Smouldering Hot Damn Sexy. This is a basic hottest-person-in-the-room thing, pinup he or she that you definitely would. It’s your basic garden-variety sexy.

Then - then - you’ve got the other kind, that’s a Confident But Bored Cello Player Sexy. Oh you so know what I’m talking about. It’s more cerebral, and tends to do more for me. And it’s more of a vibe than a cello thing per se.

Julian Lloyd Webber does not a sexy make. Same with Yo Yo Ma.

Paris, 1955

Doctor: Congratulations, Ma and Pa Ma, it’s a boy.

Ma Ma: We’ll call him Yo Yo. Yo Yo Ma.

Smouldering Hot Damn Sexy: Jenny McCarthy, Kate Winslet, Brad Pitt, George Clooney

Confident But Bored Cello Player Sexy: Julianne Moore, Kate Blankett, Edward Norton, Johnny Depp

People in the latter category are more likely to be described as “beautiful”, or found attractive by straight members of the same sex. They can be older, too. Those in the former tend to be spilling over with busty/cockfest hotness normally associated with incredulous swearing and (in your dreams, loser) actually having sex.

(Seriously, with everything going on in your life at the moment, this is what you’re doing?)

There actually was an Alice In Chains. Alice Mauresmo was a famous escapologist from Bergen in Norway during the 19th century.
