I find that artists or people who enjoy artistic hobbies are very very aware of what I just posted because they're so used to trying to see beauty in odd places.

Me too. I struggled to find any man candy for the man candy thread.

This is why I'm getting so anal about telling people TV f-cks you up - you start worrying that you're supposed to find these people on TV attractive or wonder if you need to look like them. The truth is what is shown on TV and even in mainstream movies is such a narrow representation of the real world and I find it unhealthy, esp if like most SAers we don't get enough real world social contact.
