Slog - Comments on The Ongoing Mystery of Anna Nicole's Body http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/02/eroticizing_anna_nicole_is_the_sexual_eq The drama continues: According to Florida's Local 6 News, the Broward County medical examiner has warned that Anna Nicole Smith's remains are decomposing more quickly than expected, potentially jeopardizing a public viewing. The speedy decomposition is fascinating enough--is that what happens to bodies made primarily of methadone and silicone?--but the ongoing mystery of the urge to gawk at Anna Nicole's body is what really seizes my cerebral cortex. After Anna Nicole Smith was found unconscious with a mouthful of vomit and soon pronounced dead, I was surprised by the number of straight men--smart, interesting straight men--who shared memories of...

You're surprised by the fact that people can still find someone sexually attractive even knowing they're a complete mental trainwreck in real life? I wouldn't think this was such a revelation.

That her schtick still worked as erotica on some people does indeed surprise me, especially after reading the responses of Fnarf and Monkey above.

Official cause of death is indeed to be determined. But the maid who found Anna Nicole unconscious in the Hard Rock hotel told authorities about Anna's "mouthful of vomit."

Actually, I think the furthest thing from a medical examiner is a Florida medical examiner, not a maid.

Maybe the drapes were stained by graduates of ITT Technical Institute? I dunno.

Stained drapes are arresting. Together, magic.

But God knows what it means.

The mystery could be cleared up with an apostrophe and an S, but no....
