It's been on T.V tonight, things you like that you sneakily like but maybe shouldn't really admit like ....My son likes High School Musical. His friends say it is for girls but he likes it anyway and sings along to the songs. I like it too. And Camp Rock. I love all that stuff, I have a little sing-a-long in the bath. With my rubber duck.

Ok I admit that Dr Phil occasionally gives good advice, that I do read gossip mags if I can get a free read (even though the gossip is out of date compared to the internet) and I eat a lot of cheese. IP: Logged |

True crime. Books, documentaries, articles. Serial killers and child killers, like Wesley Dodd, attract my attention. IP: Logged |

Hmmmm...I don't think I have any guilty pleasures. I don't have to sneak or feel guilty. Is that a requirement?------------------ It is not about waiting for storms to pass...it is about learning to dance in the rain! __________________________________________________________________________ IP: Logged |

You don't have to sneak about more feel obliged to justify your cheesy choice ~ it's cheapo T.V, Lexx, they make banal things of this ilk, hey, there's another one:I like watching rubbish T.V, example last night I sat through a list show of Most Irritating Pop Songs. I don't just watch rapt in attention, I do other useful things at the same time, post on websites, etc. IP: Logged |

Granny underpanties... No, seriously. My boyfriend is a big fan of thongs. For work I have to dress up somewhat professionally and, naturally, make sure there are no visible lines from underwear. All in all, I spend a good amount of time with something lacey, frilly or stretchy, pardon my language, stuck up my a$$. So once in a while I treat myself to wearing these huge plain cotton panties and it feels SOO good. I love it! Of course, I would be embarassed to death if anyone ever saw itIP: Logged |

OK...men's boxers and long legged briefs.Big old fashioned rainbow spiral lolly pops. Coloring/drawing with crayons. Playing with Legos. Owning more stuffed animals than any kid I know of. Eating kiddie cereal in the middle of the night once in awhile....from a bowl with goldfish on it...with a light up spoon in the dark. Wearing rainbow striped toe long socks. Blowing soap bubbles. Ordering the kiddie meal at fast food places..for me, so I can get a toy or wear the silly hat/crown. Cracker Jacks...but the toys are not as nice these days. My inner child is alive and well. ------------------ It is not about waiting for storms to pass...it is about learning to dance in the rain! __________________________________________________________________________ IP: Logged |

I typically listen to darkwave, goth, and industrial. Granted, I listen to many other types from time to time. But lately I've been listening to Eurodance and also bubblegum rock & teen pop off Radio Disney. I believe that counts as a "guilty pleasure." IP: Logged |

Hey LEXX, we should hang out! LOL!Mine... I have one of those glow in the dark spoons that came in a cereal box.. and yes, I ate my coco rice krispies in the middle of the night with it. lol! This is a "guilty" pleasure because I'm diabetic..shhhh.. And I love the Disney channel. Wizards of Waverly Place, Hannah Montana... and was bummed when Raven went off the air. I love music other people hate or don't like.. like I grew up on John Denver and Barry Manilow and others I can't think of right now. Lego's!! Gotta luv em! Diet Pepsi by the gallon Hot bubble baths! I was introduced to something in europe called Milo.. I love that stuff! Going to the movies for the sheer pleasure of getting a huge tub of hot buttery pop corn and a huge diet pepsi.. nothing beats movie theatre popcorn <tee hee> Oh.. and cartoons like Fairly Odd Parents, Ben 10 and Spongebob. k.. that's nuff for now.

I was introduced to Fanta soda while traveling in Italy. This is an orange soda pop made with high fructose corn syrup I think I had at least a glass everyday. I still crave it from time to time. It's addictive.Also, when I did laundry in a public laundromat in my neighborhood, I walked across the street to the corner liquor store to pick up a bag of Cheetos and a bottle of Coca-Cola to snack on while waiting for the wash. I didn't exactly have super clean hands, but alas I eat Cheetos when stressed, not a pretty habit. Virgo boyfriend has done a good job weening me away from this . . . but today I am having baked Cheetos . . . IP: Logged |

cheescake.i made a cheesecake and ate the whole freaking thing in two days. it makes me feel better ALL of the time. sushi - I buy it on the sly and eat it in the car so I don't have to share with anyone. sick huh? shoe shopping does the same thing for me. I love to buy impractical beautiful shoes that I may never wear, but I LOVE owning great shoes! Strappy... sexy...high heeled shoes ....make me feel good. those are my guilty pleasures if I am feeling really bad, I could go shoe shopping and eat cheesecake until I fall asleep in a pile of new shoes with cheesecake stuck to my face and wake up with something resembling a hangover. bloat, headache, drained bank acocunt...and new shoes that will stay in the back of my closet until one of my daughters discovers them and says MOM OH MY GOD can I have these? can I borrow them? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE...then ....poof...there go my great shoes..or super sexy boots....until.......IT happens again...and again...and again. IP: Logged |

sl- haha yeah! Well Rocky Horror is less of a big deal here in England, in that more people like it in an average, not obsessive kind of way. In any case, cross-dressing is more run-of-the-mill here lol!IP: Logged |
