    Sexy and Skanky are kissin' cousins.

    What differentiates these cousins is their fuckability quotient. Sexy sleeps with privileged men. Skanky sleeps with men, women, and puppies. Even small appliances can reach first base with Skanky. Sexy suggests. Skanky reveals. But they're bound by blood and other bodily fluids. They're both variants of women-as-the-sexy-gender. *

    * For 20 years and then they're thrown on the hag heap.
