Dead Sexy October

Sexy is sold everywhere. TV and internet ads tell us that being sexy is important and what sexy looks like, but sexy doesn’t come in just one form. Sexy is whatever makes you feel good, and that might not be what the sold stereotype is. I’m not saying that lingerie and lace aren’t sexy, they’re great; but I think there’s more options of ‘sexy’ than that, and sometimes it’s blood and gore.
