i like to see the naked ladies!

How do we know the German swimmer is blond?

i first i thought this was going to be about poshspice.

Every post is "I love naked white ladies, but I feel guilt/anger about it so I'll mask it with some gibberish about class warfare" How long is this series going on for?

It's shocking that you'd be writing a script about a white girl caught up in a sex crime with a black man accused. Really hard to fathom.

The key to poshlust or poshlost is the striving for more than cheapness. Something that's cheap and tacky doesn't exhibit poshlust; something that's cheap and tacky that tries to pass itself off as something classy does. When a common restaurant uses an elaborate curlicue font on their sign or menu, that's poshlust. The language used on wedding invitations is usually poshlust. Most everything in the Skymall or Wine Enthusiast catalogs is poshlust. My favorite example: people who have clear plastic covers on their parlor furniture.

left coast. i have also written a script about men who fuck horses, so that must mean i want to fuck horses. besides, the women on the bed are not my type. i feel as much desire for them as i do for a horse.

I thought she was married to that hot soccer player...

You do realize that only thirteen of the words in this post actually belong to the author right? Why am I wasting my time.

next, it's a bleeding post.

@3 so did I. Wonder what that says about me, because I don't really find her attractive ...

Charles Mudede = BORING

In a fun little book, Paul Fussell calls poshlust BAD.

i really do like the accompanying pictures. finding humor in sexist, embarrasingly ugly advertisement. well done charles.
and just to clarify, as people tend to rip him to shreds on here, i am being sincere.

Paul Fussell is one of my heroes. His Class: A Guide through the American Status System is a masterpiece, and of course The Great War and Modern Memory is probably the greatest work of lit crit in the 20th century.

His ex-wife Betty says he was a bastard to live with, though. She's a good writer, too.

Give me a break. Charles, you are being intellectually dishonest here. The crass commercialism isn't what bothers you. You want these women, and that's what bothers you. You feel that you will be rejected, are angry about it and have channelled it into an acceptable expression of anger (The System). When you are rich from writing cynical narratives about naive girls in Italy, I have a feeling that your anger about The System will be alleviated.

I wonder if I'm Charles' type...
