I don't feel guilty in any pleasure I enjoy.

Having said that, I thoroughly enjoy Metal music. About 9 out of 10 people are rather shocked when I tell them and they immediately look at me different as if I'm a serial killer or something. It's really more of a shock factor I think, I'm generally in more ritzy social situations dressed up and look sharp. I'm not a typical metalhead...I don't color my hair, paint my nails (as some men do), don't have piercings or tattoos, don't wear typical clothes a metalhead would, etc. But then I soften the blow by telling them I really enjoy Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin.

Same here. I don't do the metal gal look (overtly made up and sexed up.) No piercings or tattoos. No drugs or booze either (that went down real well when I was a metal journalist and befriended a lot of musicians.)

My teachers in High School were stunned. To quote: A "heavy metallurgist? I would have never have guessed."

More recently a metal musician I sold my bass to said something similar. "You do not look like a metalhead, much less someone who was a die hard Bolt Thrower fan for 20 years."

I've worked corporate half my life, so that's part of the reason why but it's all good.


Now guilty pleasures: I love a lot of trashy/exploitation cinema. The Italians win hands down with their westerns, horror and such, but American/International drive in fare from the 60s and 70s is equally a blast. I much prefer discovering some seemingly awful film from that era and falling in love with it than watching something recent.

Out of curiosity, do you ever watch the Cinema Snob?

No. I shy away from podcasts and these kinds of review webisodes.

There's been a few excellent, long-standing NSFW sites like mondo-digital, dvddrive-in.com etc. who have published some excellent reviews and have rarely steered me wrong. I'm stuck in the mud that way, but thank you. :D
 
I wouldn't call it a guilty pleasure, but people often give me an odd look when they find I eat my grilled cheese with grape jelly on top. It was how I was raised and I love it to this day. Bon appetit :)
 
I've never even seen a White Castle. They simply don't exist on the side of the country

Your side of the country is smart. I don't have any local to me, though. I was in Louisville KY for a weekend, and it was right behind my hotel. I had to try it once, and I will never try it again.

That's so sad. :(

I have one a few minutes from my house. It's on a major highway and I always see people with out of state license plates taking pictures in front of it.

It's a regional chain, mainly in the midwest but with a major enclave in NY/NJ. They don't franchise and the company is still family owned.

I "try it" about once a week. It's love. :D

I know they get a bad rep sometimes, but they're actually known to use high quality ingredients in their food. I find them to be delicious.
 
Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus, a handful of reality shows (Real World, Dating Naked, the Real World "Challenge" shows, etc.).

how is it possible to do that dating naked show? I dont understand how they can air that.
 
I was surprised to see that they were actually showing bare, uncensored female buns on there. The rest is just blurred out.

I dont want my kids to be watching ***** like that. It is inexcusable.
And before anyone tackles me, yes, I do sensor what they watch. But I'm sure kids have their methods.

So because you have kids, and rightfully censor what they watch, other people shouldn't be able to view those shows? There's nothing "inexcusable" about It.
