Who knew there were so many Twin Peaks and Cherry Pie clips out there? However, I think what I really need is some coffee.

I think it depends on the job description. If the job is to be the runway model kind of fake woman or the Britney Spears dance video kind of fake woman, then you need to look the part.

Since the job description here seems to call for the kind of fake woman who plays a man dressed as a lesbian impersonating a man or some such tired cabaret shtick, she looks fine.

That's interesting; I had not noticed that. Although I rarely look at the menu for drinks. I usually just order what I want and I've never had any feedback when ordering (except one neophyte who had never heard of one).

Quick research shows that there is a product called The Original Arnold Palmer Tee. It might be because of that product that restaurants can't put it on their menu.

Funny collage, but I submit it proves the record company's point. Fully cognizant that my own belly is not ready for prime time, I must ask how many of the above bellies would you want to see dancing to that sexy song she was singing?

I think there's a torso in the group, too.

one of my favorite dance moments was in Reza Abdoh's The Hip-Hop Waltz of Eurydice - it featured at one point a naked fat man dancing in such a way that his belly seemed to move independently to the rhythm of the music. It was simply mesmerizing to watch even if it sounds horrific in description - So I'd say I'd watch any of them dance if they could own their belly's in their dancing.

Then again, I'm also a big Peter Greenaway fan, who also loves to show the body in all it's manifestations.

You're talking about art. I'm talking about pop culture, show business and the sex that gets sold. Among all the discussions on this board of who is hot-as a fantasy object of desire-I have yet to see any bellies like that posted. Certainly not from the bachelors here and not from anybody else. (There were no fat vampires in "Twilight.")
