SO it's been a while since I last found something that I would even consider calling the New Hotness...
until, unexpectedly last night it (kind of) came to me- geeks are the new hotness. As in 'Chuck' and 'Big Bang Theory', this seems to be the Year of the Geek. Sounds good to me- hopefully, more women will come to realise that geeks like me make better lovers and better partners, and come to appreciate the unique combination of skills, interests and experiences that I bring to siuations and relationships.
But before I go to far down this road, I got distracted last night, by the thing/entity/objet that I have decided is the latest, actual, New Hotness, namely Christina Applegate's new sitcom "Samantha Who?". In case you haven't seen it (I sure as hell wasn't looking for it), CA plays a young woman who's recently come out of an eght-day coma with retrograde amnesia, and must get to know herself and her life again. As she progresses through this journey, she finds out that the person she was before wasn't necessarily the most nice or ethical person- a cheating, alcoholic, pretentious, unkind biatch- and the amnesia provides an opportunity to rebuild herself as a good person. Even if it involves moving in with her parents again.
I enjoyed the first episode - the program promises an opportunity for a key lesson- that personal reinvention is possible, that we make choices each day to be who were are and that we can change. Also, Applegate looked hot in her pajamas, and I think that she's a great actress who has come a long, long way from Married with Children.
Hope you enjoy it too
