Ok, gonna show my ignorance here... - 04-02-2008, 07:54 PM


See lots of pictures of pretty and/or sexy ladies here on the forums and other places but what's with the slack jawed look that seems to be so common in these types of pics? It seems that quite of few of these ladies seem to think that if their mouth is flopped open with or without sneer, it makes them sexier... To me at least, some look more like they got a few too many Botox shots in the jaw muscles and until it wears off, they got some byproduct floppy jaw.
What's wrong with a slight sexy smile or a wink or even just a perky face to go with the shot? Many of these ladies could stand there in a used burlap flour sack and be downright gorgeous without doing anything at all but in 9 out of 10 cases, it's like they have to be instant actress feigning some indescribable internal frenzy that has gone horribly wrong.

Ok, so I'm old and geezerly and my idea of sexy may not necessarily match the majority of opinions but I've been wondering about this aspect and finally decided that the only way to find an answer is to just come out and just point blank ask...
No problem at all with your folks that like this kind of look but it just don't flip my switch...

Its a fashion/sexpot look that's been around for decades... can't explain it, it just is.

It's a model thing...

Personally... I'm more a fan of the wry smile.
