Our usual open thread poll, a little late: talk about anything you like — the perfume you’re wearing today, the Olympics event you’re going to watch (or not), whatever.

What should it be? Am I “casual,” “magnetic,” “spontaneous”? With another glance at Antonio’s black-fringed eyes, I choose “sensuous.” The website spits out its suggestion: Blue Seduction for Women.
