Sexy on anything

Sexy car. Sexy shoes. Sexy hair. The word 'sexy' seems to be used in almost everything. And now even on foods.

On CBS News. com, there was a video "Sexy Foods to Get You in The Mood."Valentine's Day coming along, the video was about foods that stimulate sexual levels. Although the title was catchy, I was bored with the usage of sexy.

Nowadays especially entertainment media uses the word 'sexy' in anything. That's similar to Paris Hilton saying, "That's hot."

This phenomenon happens not only in America. Japanese girls often use the word 'cute' in whether a cell phone, bicycle or notebook.

Do we call chopsticks cute? Sure.

Do we call couches cute? Why not.

Do we even call toilet cute? Haven't  heard of it. But I'm sure we'll say it to Hello Kitty toilet.

  1. Hey Maya-
    I like this so far. I'm guessing you've got a bit more to write. It reads really smoothly.

    Your sentence about how Japanese girls often say cute reads kind of off. Are you sure you want in following 'cute.'

    Can't wait to read the rest! Oh, and make Rob happy- don't forget your links and At a glance!

  2. I agree, there is no such thing as a sexy food. One of the many failings of our culture.
