It’s disturbing when you suddenly discover you’re inappropriately aroused at work. It’s even more disturbing when you discover the arousal is due to you being a big ol’ nasty pervert.
I’ve been trolling some of the stock photography sites looking for something to go along with a project I’m working on. The project requires a photo of a 20-30-something guy. So I type “hip young man” into the search engines and casually start browsing the results.
On about page two I noticed the tingling.
There were tons of pictures of men — shots cropped at their armpits and the tops of their thighs. Before my eyes were rows and rows of be-jeaned, be-boxered, and be-sixpacked men’s midsections, specifically their hips.
It took me entirely longer than I care to admit to figure out why in the hell all these hip pictures were showing up.
Duh. Apparently I’m not a very smart pervert.
But DAMN. Men’s hip area is some kind of sexxy.
Hey, you mentioned my name on your blog. You said something about learning words from me in creative writing class in high school? OK I admit it I was googling myself and found your site. Now that sounds dirty. Of course since I’m posting this as a comment to a remarkable commentary about naked male hips, I imagine you’re probably not offended. Nice blog, Jodi.

Hello Corey! You taught me ubiquitous and superfluous. Two words I had never heard of before you uttered them.
