On this cloudy Thursday, let’s chat about one thing enjoyable…

So, you already know the awkward male stripper scenes you usually see in sitcoms? At any time when we come throughout one, pals and I snicker about how, as a substitute of strippers, we’d discover it method sexier if just a few good guys got here by, sporting button-down shirts with the sleeves rolled up (#forearms) and smelling actually good and asking us about what books we’ve lately learn. And perhaps carry dessert from a neighborhood place? That could be scorching.

Equally, my dad buddy Aaron jokes that he likes the reverse of the everyday She’s All That film premise of a woman taking off her glasses and shaking out her ponytail and all of the sudden wanting stunning. As an alternative, he likes the scene in reverse: a lady placing on glasses and tying her hair again earlier than studying (like his stunning bespectacled bookish spouse!).

What do you discover engaging? My present checklist:
heat
salt and pepper hair
