    Eeeuwwwww

    I think it's meretricious -- from "meretrix," or a practitioner of one of the world's oldest professions (the other is probably "moralizer").

    Before I was a feminist, I was a well-brought-up girl from Ohio with much the same advantages (though my blood was and is more red than blue); and both of us think it's tacky.

    What happens to people like that when their looks start to go off? Am I really going to talk about character and morality?

    Nahhh. She's not worth the bandwidth.
