Ok, so I'm taking a bath with my fiance' and I got to thinking. Actually, this question has bothered me for years now and I have never actually resolved it. I really have to know this. It's driving me crazy.

So, ladies, when you are taking a bath, does your vagina fill up with water? I mean, because if I stick my head under water and open my mouth, it fills up right? Is this what also happens to the vagina?

There is really nothing more mysterious than the vagina. I like to think of it as being filled with pink foam.

And I have YET to get to the bottom of it. Ah the Vagina. They might as well just round them all up and put them into Area 51 for all I know about them.

Does an actress have to be supernaturally beautiful to be appealing to male viewers?

Not at all. I like Barrymore because she's the sort of person who seems like you could hang out with and make fart jokes while playing Yahtzee, or something. There is something attainable about her, which is very attractive. This contrast, say, Cameron Diaz or Lucy Liu, who might be more attractive than Drew Barrymore, but will also have nothing to do you.

To clarify, Drew Barrymore was not in Poltergeist. Our Lord was either thinking of E.T., or was thinking of Heather O'Rourke, who played the little girl in Poltergeist.

Barrymore's not UGLY...that scene in the original Charlie's Angels when she was flirting with the limo driver showed some nice lines...

Nonetheless, what I don't like about her is her personality. Too much 'cutesy whore' to her.

Then again, it's a giant stinking pot of 'relative', isn't it. I think that Natalie Portman is unattractive, a sentiment that can get me flamed nine ways from Tuesday on most message boards, especially this one (Bear in mind that I'm a reasonable amount her senior, and anything that has the physique of a fourteen-year-old, to me doesn't inspire feelings of lust.).

Absolutely not, but guys have a tendency to romanticize and idealize the women they adore anyway.

Although I will admit that the camera-to-life transition can be disappointing. I have met a small number of actresses and models and the like, a shitload of whom are not nearly that good-looking close up. My biggest disappointment was Kim Basinger, who has an insanely nice figure and with whom I would jump into bed in a nanosecond - but who looks up close like her head is composed of dozens of small, painted balloons glued together with a wig on top.

My relationship with Drew is superficial anyway (ie. it doesn't exist). Taking it any farther than simple physical appeal and it starts getting wierd. I don't know Drew Barrymore in real life. I have no idea what kind of person she really is. I *could* appreciate her skills as an actress, but that's not the basis for a *real* attraction.

This, like the rest of the board, has just taken a turn to the absurd.

Even Kim Basinger can have a bad day.

Knowing many fourteen-year-olds, I'd rather say that Natalie Portman has the physique of a 16-year old.

Which of course makes it all so much better.

I tend to like women who look like women, not girls. "Full-bodied" is the polite term. "Garbonzas from God, a roller-coaster waist, and legs from here to ya-ya" is the boys-locker-room term.

Drew Barrymore is the kind of girl you could take to a bar, hang out, play 9-ball, look down her shirt when she leans over to take a shot, etc. I kinda like that. And I think she's pretty (someone else has already mentioned her other assets, to I'd just be....oh fuck it, she's got nice tits). I'd take her over Cameron Diaz, actually. But not Lucy Liu, because, well, Lucy is Asian.

You misread (or I miswrote). I said I'd take Drew Barrymore over Cameron Diaz, but not Lucy Liu because Lucy Liu is Asian. The implication being I have a thing for Asian women.

You'd take Drew over Cameron but not over Lucy. It made sense.

So your order of preference would be:

1. Lucy
2. Drew
3. Cameron

It's all good.

Is Drew the one who dressed up as Alladin Sane, with Rebel Rebel in the background? I had a weird, the good weird, dream about her last night.

You lot may need Frank to help you out here.
