how do you know they're lesbians, pissant?
Here is what I found on 'WORD DETECTIVE'====
Dear Word Detective: How did "cheesecake" come to refer to provocative pictures of women, usually in a state of undress? Is this what led the Sara Lee Corporation to become both a major producer of the food and of ladies undergarments? -- Jay Vee Weiss.
Live and learn. When I first read your question, I assumed that you were either joking about Sara Lee or had been hitting the streusel too early in the day. Oh me of little faith. It turns out that Sara Lee Corporation owns a slew of other brands, including such "intimates" manufacturers as Hanes, Bali, Wonderbra and Playtex. They also own Polo Ralph Lauren, DKNY, Kiwi shoe care products, Brylcreem (!), and something called Mister Turkey. By the way, there really was (and is) a real person named Sara Lee. The daughter of an entrepreneur who named his bakery after her, she is today a grandmother and reportedly a computer whiz.
I happened to look into the origin of the hubba-hubba sense of "cheesecake" for my recent book "Making Whoopee" (Algonquin Books), so what follows is a short form of what I found.
Way back in the 1930s, long before the internet and cable TV put "hard-core" on the national menu, tabloid newspapers and disreputable "pulp" magazines would often try to attract their largely male target audience by festooning their front pages with photographs of attractive young women. This being the 1930s, such displays were chaste by modern standards and usually limited to what were known as "leg shots," featuring young women in swimsuits or relatively short skirts. Similar tableaus were common on calendars and playing cards of the period, and the genre was known as "cheesecake." (Among non-aficionados it was usually condemned as "smut.")
"Cheesecake" in the literal sense is a rich dessert made of cream cheese, butter and sugar. While real cheesecake was invented back in the 15th century, "cheesecake" as a slang term first arose in the depths of the 1930s Depression. Having enough food to eat was a daily worry for millions of Americans, and cheesecake, or any other fancy dessert, would have seemed an unattainable luxury to many. So it's not surprising that the young women on the covers of those risqué magazines, similarly unattainable to the average male reader, would have become known as "cheesecake."
you can clean your ears with car keyes..... or is that just a Southern thing?
After seeing ROTS, you'll have to demote Vader - he's just a mixed up kid. Darth Sidious is the ultimate, Machiavellian badass...he's everything the Left accuses Bush of being. ;)
OMG ROTFLMAO.
Did anyone else catch the Formula 1 race last weekend. One of the pit crews had Stormtropper gear as a paid Sith movie promo.
So, so true!!
BTW here is a picture of Padme's bust. At least that is what it is said to be.
Amen. I absolutely loathe telephones.
My dad did that. He grew up in Chicago. No matter, it's still gross.
It's the way TATU is marketed...whether they are real lesbians or not is an open question, but their record company has certainly worked overtime to promote that image. ;)
"I only support gay marriage if both chicks are hot"
Oh that is good.
