What is *sexy*? By definition, it's the exterior appearance that can arrouse the senses, stimulate the mind, and in *GBB*
terms - inspire "tingley-in-the-pants" feelings. Sexiness can be defined as either a natural gift, or a mastered art (the
"naturally" handsome Colin Farrell vs. the make-up galore composition of Christina Aguilera). It's that first initial attraction,
where one can claim "it was love at first sight". However, being sexy comes in many different forms. A sincere heart, or honest
demeanor can be just as "sexy" as dazzling blue eyes, or a voluptuous chest. Certain qualities inside and out can portay sexiness,
whether it's a personallity trait, a scandelous foreign accent, or even a guy's heartwarming laugh. You have inevidably heard
us describe the Beatles as *sexy*, more times than seem possible, and after a while, the term seems to loose its "umph"! You
read it, without meaning, and the semantics change over time (like hearing the overly-used, "God bless you" or "Have a nice
day."). It's a shame, it really is...but it's true. So we'd like to take this opportunity and revive what *sexy* really is!
You children pay attention now! The Empress is gonna give you a lesson in hotness...
Foreign Languages are sexy. In the song "Sun King" off the Abbey Road album, the Beatles improvised a multi-lingual ballad,
singing everything from en Francais to Espagnol. The mixture creates a very sultry, flowing melody that just makes you all
giddy and flustered inside. On "Michelle" from the Rubber Soul LP, Paul seduces his listeners with the romantic French line,
"Sont les mots qui vont trés bien ensemble, trés bien ensemble." How many of us can honestly say hearing him sing that line
DOESN'T give you goose-pimples all over? It's SEXY. It's flustering. We love it.
Shaggy Hair is sexy. That *just-rolled-out-of-bed* look is a killer, when random pieces are flicking out and it looks
as though the boy's just finished doing something naughty. We are rather fond of Colin Farrell's aerodynamic hair that stands
in all directions. George Harrison in '65 was another noteable examplé of a sexy shag, and Paul in '66. Rawr!
Sideburns are sexy. Johnny boy takes the whole damn bakery when it comes to this department. He was notorious for his
scruffy, unkempt sideburns, that looked maaarvelous when groomed, and even still when they grow wild. Sexy enough for Beth to make an entire page, in their honour. Wolverine is also another sideburn-studlet.
Accents are sexy. It derrives from the foreign language spoof, but it still deserves a category of its own. The Beatles
had some heart-throbbing accents, boy howdy! All unique in their own way. John spoke with that rough Liverpudlian growl, Paul
with a more toned down innocent voice, George with the curious, mysterious accent and Ringo with the humdrum, Eoyore inspired
croak that we love so much. In terms of acknowledgable Brit accents, we couldn't go without mentioning Charlie Hunnam and
his to-DIE-for Gordie voice. Colin Farrell blows us all away with his genuine Irish tongue (fook), and Heath Ledger and Hugh
Jackman reign, as far as accents from the land down under.
The Five O'clock Shadow is sexy. Ever notice when the Beatles spent a holiday in Rishikesh, how they all became a little
bit spikey on the face? Ooooh yeeeah. That just-in-time-for-a-shave look is HOT. The period that lies between clean-cut and
beard (though in placing on the Richter scale of facial hair, somewhere closer towards clean-cut). Paul had it goin' ON, in
Rishikesh, and George too. Around this time, John and Ringo were busy tufting them SIDEBURNS. Sizzle.
Sweaters are sexy. Leaving that little something to the imagination (what lies beneath? what lies beneath?) is a major
turn on, and often, the big, mooshy sweaters can make even the most muscle-inclined appear more cuddly and vulnerable.
Scrawny boys are sexy. Not all sex icons need a burly mass of bulk and muscle to look ultra-fine, and this is especially
true when it comes to the Beatles. Lets face it, ladies...our lads from Liverpool weren't working out in the gymn during their
spare time and NONE of them had well-defined abs, or could bench-press a kitten's weight. But they ALL had (well...with the
exception oF Paul), nice lean figures, portraying a smooth chest definition and MAYBE a littla abs. Pretty hot.
Muscle-Mayhem boys are sexy. And not to contradict ourselves, but there ain't nothing wrong with a little extra padding
around the chest and arm arena! Stephen Dorff, and especially handsome Hugh have the body-builders' bod, that screams, "Come
rape me, and watch me wiggle what the Lord, and steroids gave me." These two are the ideal examples of muscular, cut bodies,
and hot chizzled abs that should be slapped on a girl's calender and sold at Spencers for $1.99. I would invest.
Fashion is sexy. The Beatles, thurought their years of being music and sex icons, were nonetheless style trendsetters
too. Their look changed from year to year, whether they were decked out in collarless grey suits, to black formal wear, to
the mod years of the mid-sixties, then hippie flower-power scamps during '67-'68, and back to fashionable, sophisticated gentlemen
in '69-'70. A man who can dress, is a man worth having.
Bulges are sexy. Heh heh. You know what I'm talkin' about. You're not even reading this, are you?
