‘I hope I’m complex, not complicated’


Call Me Sexy

Sexiness is not all about boasting a bodacious body; flaunt pride in yourself to have others falling at your feet.

A shapely-legged woman in a miniskirt is sexy in my opinion. One of my friends is a fan of big cleavage, while another is enamored by an elegant elbow.

One gay friend is left gasping at the sight of muscle men; a female acquaintance likes neat-looking young executives. “They smell good in their long-sleeved shirts and cotton pants. That’s what I call sexy.”

Another young woman, who recently got her master’s, likes men with some meat on their bones; just call her a chubby chaser.

So it really does take all kinds to make a sexy world.

I have come to realize that it call comes down to how you carry yourself and your own confidence in your assets. If you believe in yourself, then others will come over to your size.

It’s refreshing news to my ears, for I have been a longtime believer that the definition of sexy was restricted to the ranks of the genetically gifted individuals shown on this page. Maybe my skinny arms and bony chest will gain some admirers. There is hope for us all.

Message from the Sea
It’s already three months into 2008 and many of those proudly declared New Year’s resolutions have been quickly forgotten. But there is still time for all of us, especially our male readers, to keep fresh and fragrant while feeling the heat out on the street or in the stressful office.

Bulgari recently launched its Aqva Pour Homme Marine, a breezy and thankfully not overwhelmingly strong men’s cologne. Spray on a little before heading out of the home, or as you get ready for that important date. It’s the Year of the Rat, but please don’t let yourself smell like one of the vexing vermin!
