The Boy sent me this link earlier tonight. An open letter to men from Christina Hendricks, who most of you will probably know as Joan from Mad Men.

I’ll openly admit to having a total girl crush on her… and a desire to steal most of her wardrobe from Mad Men. Scha-WING!

But anyway, back to the open letter. I agree with most of it. Especially points one and two:

“We love your body. If we’re in love with you, we love your body. Your potbelly, everything. Even if you’re insecure about something, we love your body. You feel like you’re not this or that? We love your body. We embrace everything. Because it’s you.

Speaking of your body, you don’t understand the power of your own smell. Any woman who is currently with a man is with him partly because she loves the way he smells. And if we haven’t smelled you for a day or two and then we suddenly are within inches of you, we swoon. We get light-headed. It’s intoxicating. It’s heady.”

But I’m not so sure about the whole, drinking scotch and not wearing tank tops bit. As long as a boy’s not ordering an Appletini or something I’m cool with it. And I think tank tops are cute – geek chic… though I think she might mean vests, in which case, I’ll give her that one, too.

What else would I put in my open letter? Probably this…

We think you are the bees knees – if we’re with you, it’s because we think you’re hot. If we stay with you it’s because we think you’re aces. We think you’re smart, sexy, funny, all of it. Don’t question why we do… just understand that we do. And like it.

We like it when you make a tit of yourself – so you got food on your face, danced in public & people laughed, or you said something stupid and we kind of pwned you. Vulnerable is good. It makes us feel better about being vulnerable too. But don’t overdo it; vulnerable’s one thing, needy is another

If you know we’re in the bathroom NEVER speak of it. We go to the loo. If you’re in the house/flat it is almost guaranteed that it will absolutely NOT be a No.2. But whatever it is, do NOT, under any circumstances mention it. We don’t want you to think about us on the loo. We want to be sex kittens in your eyes, not mortal women. Toilets do not factor… except on some, eh, specialist websites.

Now, I can’t be arsed thinking about any more and shall open the floor to my other lady friends. Girls? Any suggestions?

In the meantime, I’m going to look at some Christina pics and imagine myself slinking around in a slinky dress with stockings etc. Purrrrrrr
