Sleaze Divas - Slight Return

Who thinks what we think is Seazy isn't Sleazy? Millions of people, we think, at least what else would you think given all the money spent on the Sleazy content we're highlighting in Sleaze Nation. Drunken, promiscuous Sleaze Divas, of course--they are Sleazy and their music is Sleazy, we think, as they tap into the human capacity for sloth and sexual excess, ESPECIALLY IN AN AGE OF RAMPANT SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES (Our capitalization and bold). That trumps all debate, we say: IN AN AGE OF RAMPANT SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES, THE MEDIA SLEAZE MACHINE CHURNS OUT SEX, SEX, SEX IN A THOUSAND MANIFESTATIONS 24-7 OVER A THOUSAND DELIVERY SYSTEMS/PLATFORMS. Libertines say the sexual "liberation" we got from the "sexual revolution" dating to the 1960s was a good thing: We're all better able to tap into our sexual desires and have a jolly good time with our partner or partners, something that would have been impossible before we were given the green light to do what we wanted when we wanted if if felt good, and we weren't breaking the law, although how many sex parties include illegal drug use? (Of course people were having sex before the sexual revolution, we acknowledge that.) So for those who say, calm down T and X, it's just sex and humans are sexual beings--aren't we?--Sex defines us on a primitive level, correct? So repressing it is a bad thing, especially when it feels so good not to repress it! It feels good. The sensuous secrets of the Ancients, the Orient (click here to choose your own group or subgroup and their sexual activities dating back thousands of years.) Makes life worth living, Sex, and of course without Sex the onward march of humanity grinds to a halt as it perpetuates the species. So we get it--we're defined by Sex and there's pleasure to be had, and it's as basic a drive as eating and drinking (that's debatable of course). So relax, fellas, this isn't Sodom and Gomorrah.

OK, we say, we'll concede that for a moment--what about the STDs? Wouldn't our basic instincts argue for restraint given the HEALTH issue? Be promiscuous and risk getting VD or AIDS, not to mention an unwanted pregnancy?

Wait...let's ask the Sleazemongers and their audience what they think about this debate. Exhibit one, Alicia herself, the Disco Diva who had to boogy cause she liked the Night Life, under the Disco ball--didn't all discos have the shimmering ball over the dance floor? I guess it wasn't a requirement, but certainly expected. We'll be asking Alicia, a pre-geezer like so many of us, if she thinks all this sex everyone was pushing 35 years ago was a good thing? Does she like what today's Sleaze Divas are doing with their performance and lyrics? And while we're at it, does she happen to remember when Madonna first grabbed her crotch in a performance--we're still trying to pin that down, given the Crotch Grab's emergence in the 1980s as a signature gesture of Pop and Rap stars. And now of course it's as common as misogynistic lyrics. Anyhow, ladies and gentleman, we hope soon to be interviewing Alicia and other Divas and some of their fans. Stay tuned....
