All over the place...
Nov. 26th, 2007 04:40 pmSo, according to my little poll, most of my flist knows about the TV show Chuck but doesn't watch it *sigh* That's so sad because you're missing out on a very funny, very endearing show. Beware, I might tickle you into watching yet! *threatens*
Does anyone on my flist remember the Canadian TV show called Danger Bay? Oh my, that show rocked my socks! This was the first series that I really loved for the siblings dynamics even though here, there were a brother and a sister and not brothers only that I prefer now. But it was so good and I was such a Jonah!girl :D *all giddy*

michalyn, I got to read the International Herald Tribune's article "In Japan, it's the men who want to be skinny and cute". It's quite interesting, let me tell you. Some of the most interesting passages are...
The new Japanese woman, according to the fashion critic Ikuko Hirayama, is: "strong, robust, bursting with energy. She takes care of her body but is not obsessed with being thin. She's proud of her biceps and also proud of her sexuality." (...) In stark contrast, it's the men who want to be slender, vulnerable and protected.
And then there is the young man, Shirakawa, who talks about his girlfriend and the relationship they have...
Both Shirakawa and his girlfriend like the fact that she weighs more than he does, and is the leader of the couple. "She's a lot stronger than I am, can lift heavy things and go drinking until dawn. I admire that about her, and feel protected when I'm around her," he said. Older than he by five years, it was Shirakawa's girlfriend who made the approach, started the dating process and decided what course their relationship would take.
Strange, huh? But I must admit that it tickles my darkest kink - men submitting to women XP That's why I adored the SPN fic "My Brother's Keeper" byjuxtaposefantsy which is heavy on the OFC/Dean at first and leads to a kinky Sam/Dean in the end...
