I don't consider myself a prude by any stretch. But when I saw this magazine cover in the check-out lane, for the first time I found myself reaching for one of those plastic cover-up things.
My first reaction was to cover my son's eyes (no, he can't read). I mean, no one should have to see the term "bare-assed" when they're waiting to pay for their groceries. (You shouldn't have to read it when you're looking at my blog either. For that, I apologize.) My second thought was, "50 things? Really? That's kind of an impressive number." Third thought? I'm glad I don't have to edit that smut for a living. (That's right, I said smut!) Maybe I am a little prudish after all...

I wouldn't mind losing 5 lbs in 7 days, though.
I'll bet you that the weight loss has to do with the subject matter of the magazine... T
Besides, it should be buck naked, not butt naked. I copy edited something with buck naked in it last week, believe it or not.
Know when covers like that are really hard to deal with? When your six year old who reads everything is standing in line with you and I could go on and on about examples of that... however, it intrigues me just a little bit to hear the many things that are fun to do buck or butt naked. Are they normal things? Like doing laundry? Mowing the grass? Answering the door to the vacuum salesman who knows you aren't in the market for a vacuum cleaner, but wants to vacuum your carpet to win a contest?
The only headline I saw was Lose 5 pounds in 7 days. I am game. Aunt Mary
