No, pubic hair is not at all new for girls who've gotten old enough to develop secondary sex characteristics. I really hope you won't just take my word for it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...

Oh I have you in another list Johnny: Crossdressing Australians of FF.
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
Aww, I hope I'm not offending anyone by not including them on the list. Many times I just go by the avatar and if it's a cartoon or something it's hard to tell and I won't put on here, and also these are just *my* personal tastes. Everyone has different types!
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
Any woman with the brass to be on FF is a hottie in my book.
- Chris Baskind
Wow - that'd be a drag to be on a list like that. Still, as I always say, if you want to get a lot of followers get a hot chick avatar. It's sad but it's iJustine. True! I mean true. It's sad but it's true.
- Ciaoenrico
Ciaoenrico I kinda take offense to that. My avatar is me, it's my face and I shared it on FF after a LOT of thought about it (plus some gender confusion, but that's another story). Because a woman might be considered attractive she *shouldn't* user her face as an avatar otherwise she's just trying to get followers? Bull crap, and sexist to boot.
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
Agreed, Tina. That certainly wasn't the point of this list - it was merely a way to point out all of my FF crushes at once. I hope no one takes offense to it. :(
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
I'm offended....I wasn't on this effing list!!
- jamar78
Sean, I'm not offended, personally. I find it rather amusing. The title of this post, to me, however, seemed rather "definitive". YMMV. :D

- Amani
Dammit.. I'm about to delete this post. It was not my intention to hurt anyone's feelings. :(
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
I don't think it's a problem pointing out your crushes, hun. I think it's the fact that it's titled "The Hotties of FriendFeed" that can make people kind of uncomfy. That comes across as a direct judgment of peoples' looks, even though we know you didn't mean it that way.
- tinypants - Hagitha of FF
@Sean don't ever apologize for your actions.
- Shevonne
Okay, I think I understand.. Thanks Amanda.. I just updated the title, hopefully it will let everyone know that this is my own personal list, and by no means a judgement of anyone.
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
It's not my scene, but hey...whatevs. It just feels a little meat market-ish to me. People aren't avatars, and I know a couple on the list who wouldn't be proud of being reduced to a FF hottie on someone's list.
- Derrick
Derrick - But a lot of the stuff you post to the really gay room is pretty meat market-ish. Just because they're professional models it's okay to objectify them? We naturally objectify each other because we naturally are sexual creatures. I'm not offended by being on this list, but I don't like being objectified and I think what Haggis has done is a sweet gesture, not a gesture of blind testosterone rubbing one out.

- sean percival
Mattie, any pics I post in the Really Gay Room are A) *in* the Really Gay Room, and B) pictures culled from sites that are meat-marketish to begin with. I would never post pics of Scoble or Louis Gray and say, "oh these are guys I'd like to see naked". And I'm not knocking Sean. I freakin' love Sean. But I also know that there are women on the list who've worked hard at getting to where they are in life and in their careers and to be thought of as a pin-up on FF isn't their bag.
- Derrick
It's about time you chimed in Leather...LMAO...love it...haha
- jamar78
I don't see how posting this in a room would make it any different a situation, Derrick. I don't think that Sean ever said he wanted to see any of the women on the list naked. Is that something I skipped over while scanning the comments? If he said that, then yes. This list is pretty lame. But being admired for your beauty isn't bad. Especially since (for me at least) being a hottie entails being incredibly intelligent and engaging.
- Mattie Kenny
Mattie, that's exactly what I consider a hottie. Attractiveness is only part of the factor. Intelligence, a sense of humor, and many other things go into that equation.
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
+100 Mattie -- There's always a fine line of taste when these things come into play. These are our normal avatar pics, not semi-nude pics, not anything gratuitous. That's what i think keeps it on the good side of the line. It's really just an innocent list.
- Lindsey is Fierce!
Mattie, I'm not going to fight with you over this. If you want to split ends, say I'm a hypocrite, or engage in double standards, feel free. I don't care. Very simply, I know people who don't want to be referred to as hotties. By anyone. I see them on the list. I speak up. That's it. There are 50 people in the RGR, maybe 20 people see it regularly. That's a HUGE difference than the numbers of people who sub to the home feed. But you know what? Forget I even opened my mouth. Apparently I've become a prude...
- Derrick
That's not what I'm saying, Derrick. Now I understand what you meant by putting the photos up in the RGR versus what Haggis did. Did these women speak up for themselves and say they don't appreciate being called attractive?
- Mattie Kenny
<3 Derrick.. I appreciate what you are saying, and think it's very commendable that you are seeing this from an angle I didn't really see. I know you only have the best intentions with what you are saying. Please no more fighting over this..
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
I just happen to know them, Mattie. And I didn't say they didn't appreciate being called attractive. I said they, knowing them as I do, woudn't appreciate being culled up on a list and pointed out for the world to ogle.
- Derrick
Sean, you know how I feel about you bud, and I'm not putting you on blast. Consider my hands washed of it.
- Derrick
Mattie, how about you look at it from the flip side...those women who DIDN'T make the list and don't have the benefit of feeling all bubbly inside because they've been deemed "attractive"? It's all well and good when you're on the winning team, apparently.
- tinypants - Hagitha of FF
yeah Sean you are a good person....don't beat yourself up about it
- jamar78
Although you better take my sis' out this damn list!! hehe
- jamar78
Amanda - I don't think not being on the list deems you unattractive and I don't think Haggis is the be all end all of who is or is not attractive. Wow. I'm on the list. BFD. I don't feel or bubbly inside, nor did I take it very seriously. It didn't blip in my radar until I saw people taking major offense to Haggis having posted the list, in which case I looked at it & was surprised to see myself there. I'm not on any "team".
- Mattie Kenny
Haggis, I love the conversations you spawn... feel free to include me in future provocative topics. ~xxxooo~

- Brandy Lea
Brandy, you see this view when you go into one of your lists then select to Add/Remove friends.
- Kol Tregaskes
I think what Brandy is asking is if she can see someone else's list, which we can't. Haggis might have made a list that is friendfeed.com/list/hotties and he'll see it when he's logged in, but no one else would see it if they went to that same URL. He wouldn't even see it if he logged out and went to that URL.
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
I don't think I was subscribed to you when I made this list, Jeunelle. This is almost a year old! :D

Almonds have a lot more vitamin E, calcium, niacin, and a little more fiber. Pistachios have a lot more potassium and a little more B6. I vote for eating both. :D Unless you're allergic or don't like one or the other.

"BALTIMORE — For Edgar Allan Poe, 2009 has been a better year than 1849. After dozens of events in several cities to mark the 200th anniversary of his birth, he's about to get the grand funeral that a writer of his stature should have received when he died. One hundred sixty years ago, the beleaguered, impoverished Poe was found, delirious and in distress outside a Baltimore tavern. He was never coherent enough to explain what had befallen him since leaving Richmond, Va., a week earlier. He spent four days in a hospital before he died at age 40. Poe's cousin, Neilson Poe, never announced his death publicly. Fewer than 10 people attended the hasty funeral for one of the 19th century's greatest writers. And the injustices piled on. Poe's tombstone was destroyed before it could be installed, when a train derailed and crashed into a stonecutter's yard. Rufus Griswold, a Poe enemy, published a libelous obituary that damaged Poe's reputation for decades. But on Sunday, Poe's funeral will...

"Naomi Watts is Hollywood's best value-for-money female star, according to Forbes magazine's annual list. Films starring the British-born Australian actor make a return for investors of $44 (£27) for every $1 she is paid. Watts, 41, was anointed by Forbes ahead of Hollywood luminaries such as Julia Roberts and Angelina Jolie, neither of whom appear in the top 10 of the best-value female actors. Jennifer Connelly is in second spot, while Canadian star Rachel McAdams lands in third. The top five is rounded out by two actors at very different stages of their careers, Natalie Portman and Meryl Streep. To qualify for the Forbes list, actors had to have appeared in at least three films in the past five years which have opened in at least 500 cinemas. The amount the films made and cost is then weighed against the actor's wage packet to give a "return on investment" (ROI)."

(Make 12 at a time, alternating cups to make sure pie crusts don’t overlap each other.) Apply egg whites from one egg to the top edges of each pie. Mix cream cheese, sugar, canned pumpkin, remaining 2 eggs, vanilla and pumpkin pie spice together until thoroughly combined. Spoon mixture into each pumpkin-shaped pie crust. Bake for 12-15 minutes. Remove pies to cool and repeat with second pie crust. Place the muffin tray in the freezer to cool it quickly for re-use. Makes 24 pies. Keep refrigerated."

"The woman born Norma Jeane Mortensen had an appetite for modernist literature, a Dickensian childhood of hardship and abandonment, and an arranged marriage at age 16 to a neighbor’s son. None of this was evident in the dazzling, carefree, naïve, carnal image that Marilyn Monroe created on screen, and that made her Hollywood’s all-time champion sex symbol. That image was what her fans fell in love with (and what new fans still fall in love with today, long after her death). Monroe created an archetype, a woman who was sensuous and hedonistic yet innocent and seemingly unaware of the effect she had on everyone who laid eyes on her. She put forth the message that sex was good, clean, wholesome fun, in such movies as “Some Like It Hot” and “The Seven Year Itch,” in which the scene of her luxuriating in the breeze blowing up her dress from a subway grate below distilled her unique blend of lasciviousness and sweetness into an iconic moment. Being seen as a dizzy sex bomb made Monroe a...

"There has never been anyone quite like Audrey Hepburn. Watching the six films in this opportunistic (the seventh disc contains vaguely fashion related extras) but attractive box set, you see just how much of a one-off she was. The clue lies in the oddball inclusion of Paris When It Sizzles, which casts Hepburn as the ingenuous typist sent to help William Holden’s drunken writer complete a screenplay in four days. He falls for her, she falls for him, and as they write the script, they find themselves in a fantasy of their own creation, which – weirdly – features guest appearances by Marlene Dietrich, Noël Coward and Tony Curtis. It is silly stuff, but as the camera lingers on Hepburn’s “magical eyes” and the script makes knowing references to My Fair Lady and Breakfast at Tiffany’s, it has the virtue of drawing attention to the extraordinary qualities of Hepburn’s screen presence. It’s not just those eyes, or the way she wears her clothes, or even the uncanny bone structure; it is the...

"A miniature version of Tyrannosaurus rex, the size of a human being, has been discovered after an extraordinary fossil that had been almost lost to the black market was recovered for science. T. rex, which lived 60 million years later than its smaller cousin, shared its body shape in almost every detail, with an outsized skull, powerful jaws and teeth, athletic hind legs built for pursuing prey and puny forearms. Raptorex kriegsteini, however, was only a fifth as long as its more celebrated successor, 100 times lighter and only 3m (9ft) from head to tail and 65kg (10st 3lb). T. rex grew to 13m and 7 tonnes and at the hip was more than twice as tall as a person. The “miniature” creature’s anatomy has overturned standard explanations for the evolution of the tyrannosaurs, the group of giant predators to which T. rex belonged, which dominated the final 20 million years of the Cretaceous period immediately before the extinction of the dinosaurs."

I was reading my nephew's book on T-Rex's, and was surprised to find out that they basically bite to infect- their teeth are host to tons of bacteria, so they don't bite to kill immediately, but just to break the skin and introduce the bacteria, then they follow the animal and eat it after it's dead.
