the largest structure in the known universe.
The frankest admission that size does matter I've come across to date.

Male Friend: I thought size didn't matter.
Me: Yeah, women lie.

Me: Yeah, women lie.
Males had a hunch.

is Filament in fact the *least* sexy word in the English language?
It would have to be WAAAYYY behind words like 'infrastructure' or 'depreciation' or 'polypropelene'.
I actually had the opposite response - what a great name. Nothing to do with the actual meaning, all to do with the way the consonants play together.

Everyone lies, man.
Good divisive word: "moist". People either think it's sexy or revolting.

Gah. Nudie Jez. Somehow objectification is harder when you know the people involved.
Happy to ogle your richard kahui link though, Emma. I don't know him :) (although in a very NZ-ish way, one of my friends did go to school with him in Tokoroa).

I put that in for Megan, but I'm sure she'll share.

Apparently, disgust at the word "panties" is quite widespread.

Feel free to post your alternatives.
As with everything else in, for & pertaining to the mag, the title (and the strapline) were pretty well-researched. There were a stack of other suggestions ("Spitfire" and "License" were popular suggestions) but most of them were either already taken, or didn't quite evoke the right spirit.

Disclaimer: in the most kiwi of traditions, I met Suraya at my best friend's wedding last year, & later discovered my boyfriend knew her cos she'd flatted with an ex-girlfriend of his last century.

Menstruation.
Nothing to do with what it denotes, just the phonology of the word - four consonant sounds in a row, followed by a vowel and a diphthong. I fear I'm going to dislocate something every time I say it.

Your boyfriend has had more than one hundred girlfriends? Kudos.

If KAOS were to field a cricket team I'm fairly sure this would be in the by-laws.

It seems like the difference between the models in Filament and the sort of guys you normally see in teh pr0nz is that the Filament fellows don't look like dumb boofheads with anger-management issues. They look the the sort of guy who would be quite nice to have as a boyfriend.

A magazine of women fantasies about men with body shapes similar my own, is intriguing. Or to see a mans photo in an erotic women's magazine, that resembles my own body, would make me feel sexy. I like to be ogled, discreetly.
You know steven, that might be the nicest thing I've heard all day. I'm sure Suraya would be pleased to hear that.
I was thinking something similar in the optometrist's waiting room the other day. There was a Prada poster there, featuring two women who actually looked like they were made of plastic. Opposite was an ad for a different frame designer (I guess it's telling that I can't remember who it was), featuring a woman with slightly untidy hair, less plastic-y skin, a bit older - and much more attractive. In a hot librarian way. That weird artificial airbrushed to shit perfection is alienating rather than attractive.
Also I have no problem with being ogled indiscreetly.

Regulating this would give the Orange Boys something to do.

Regarding gazes - many years ago my husband looked at a picture of Claudia Schiffer in the newspaper, and then turned to me and said, "You know, Claudia Schiffer is a very intelligent woman."
I would just like to say that Daniel Craig is a very intelligent man.
That's all.

You guys make the most awesome comments, and Emma asks the most interesting questions. It really made my day.
I'm not sure if I was ever an official member of KAOS, but I certainly went to the parties, which in the late 90s, which I would describe as "so many hot young long-haired men in PVC, so little time." Damn!

Good luck with the magazine Suraya. I had already read the Daily Mail today and read a two page feature on your new magazine by Olivia Lichtenstein without realising the kiwi conection. After seeing Emmas post I raced back for a second read. Although she didnt have alot of positive things to say I imagine its very good publicity anyway. I read it and would now pick the mag up in a bookshop and have a closer look.

Oi! I bloody will not! Hands off...
Oh, alright, go on then.
Ah, Richard. But surely he's a bit too beefcakey for Filament? (Shame that what I watched of the S14 final it looked like he didn't have a very good game)
They look the the sort of guy who would be quite nice to have as a boyfriend.
And therein lies the difference?

Word. I was at the gym with a friend the other day, and we were discussing the music videos that were all over the screens, and wondering whether they were meant to be encouraging.
Both of us agreed they aren't, because I look at those women, and think 'well, it doesn't matter how hard I work, and how little I eat, I am never going to look like that. Because my genes are different, and I don't have a skilled photo-shopper following me around all day.' Of course, it would appear we can't win.

unsexiest word
That would be "Richard" or "Worth" wouldn't it?

Fear not, Ms Wegan, for it is my belief that the most attractive thing about a woman is an air of confidence . Admittedly, I am not in the 1st blush of youth and would not turn your head in the beefcake stakes, but over the years I have come to realise that the overall outward appearance is only slightly important.
But that 'head up, shoulders back' look of confidence is one of the sexiest damn things a woman can wear.
We are all hampered (or helped, for the very fortunate) by our genes, but the confidence thing is something we can work at, regardless of genetic inheritance.
[I never would have fit the parameters for inclusion in Filament.]

A friend of mine back in high school had a name for the projecting confidence thing: walk around pretending you're a turkey.
Actually - and this is quite interesting - he was very unattractive indeed, whichever way you looked at him, but he did project an air of confidence. Not that it helped him any, he was simply too unattractive. But still.
