The Right Amount of... Skank

I've noticed that I have a lot of serious posts last month. So to be a little different, I'll post a fun/ humorous entry. Something frivolous, nothing serious.

I've seen a lot of blogs with top 10 this and top 10 that--- everyone's coming up with their own countdowns of anything under the sun. I thought it would be fun to post a countdown of my own... so here I present The TOP 5 sexiest videos ever made (at least in my opinion. hehe)... AKA videos with just the right amount of skank. LOL

but before that, a definition--- from WIKIPEDIA:

Skank or skanky is a slang term, and is an adjective or noun referring to one who is undesirable as a result of unacceptable behavior. Most often this behavior relates to drug use, sexual practices, and/or personal hygiene and style. Originally associated with a bad smell and/or scummy or dirty surface, it has come to refer to someone who is either or both physically repugnant for their filth and morally or socially repugnant for their behavior and demeanor, most often sexually. Prostitutes are often associated with the term though in reference to a usually non-whoring person. It is pejorative.

Recent usage of the term in the United States has been to describe a particular kind of female behavior, characterized by wanton selfishness, repeated self-detrimental behavior, flirting and sexual promiscuity.

so to say "the right amount of skank" would be something that's EXTREMELY sexual, almost reaching the point of being gross and unacceptable, but never achieving that point... so it's still all good... at least that's how I see it. hehe.

So here's my top 5.

5. Don't Cha (Pussycat Dolls) - Yeah, the video isn't that daring, but with the Pussycats singing that phenomenal tune, how can I not include this on the list? The song has practically become an Anthem of some sort! And it's really funny how this song can bring out the "liberated" side of every female. Every time the song is played in bars and clubs, evey female suddenly turns up in the dance floor, dancing widely, as if they're being called by the pied piper! haha. I also seem to notice that guys seem to appreciate this song more than girls. I wonder why? hehe. and I have to admit, at times I catch myself humming this tune. It has a catchy beat after all! As 2 of my female friends say, nothing weirds them out more than hearing their boyfriends sing "Don't Cha wish your girlfriend was hot like me..." every now and then. haha.

4. Dirrty (Christina Aguilera) - Now, this one borders on the vulgar side. hehe. Just a little more skin and this video would be downright immoral! I was never attracted to Christina Aguilera, because i prefer girls who have a little more meat. She's waaaaaay too skinny for my taste... but upon seeing this video, she made me stand up and take notice! hehe. I hear she's gone the virginal route now? I wonder how long that would last. hehe. I remember thinking a few years back, "Man, this video would be a whole lot better if it was britney doing that!"

which leads us to...

3. I'm A Slave 4 U (Britney Spears) - sure, this isn't her most daring video. I've seen her showing much more skin in others. But you'd have to agree, it's arguably her most sensual. Nothing conveys such a blissful imagery more than a sweaty female dancing about, with scenes of panting and heavy breathing. LOL. Every time I see it again, I seem to yearn for the days when she didn't get knocked up yet. tsk, tsk. Now she looks pathetic, like some publicity hungry killer whale. er--- that was a bit harsh. hehe. Oh well, as they say, all good things must come to an end.

2. Candy shop (50 cent) - Imagine walking into a house filled with beautiful sexy ladies, and you can pick anyone you like... or if you're greedy, pick everyone! haha. that's definitely every guy's fantasy, whether they admit it or not--- being in this sort of Candy Shop. hehe. Even at the start of the video, when the lady says "Welcome to the candy shop...", you'd feel like there's a lot of tasty treats in store for you.

1. Buttons (Pussycat Dolls) - I've only seen this video recently, and I was like WOW! WOWOWOW! let me say it again... WOW! Very sensual, very erotic, it was even quite artistic. Their every move matched the song perfectly. The girls were even flexible--- that's an added bonus. haha. Can we expect anything less from a group that has its origins in burlesque? Hope their videos would keep getting better and better and better!!!

HONORABLE MENTIONS:
Don't let me be the last to know (Britney Spears)- Many guys would agree, this is the first video that we've realized that she's no longer a girl, she's a hot, hot, hot WOMAN! Just seeing this once would be enough to make any guy forget her bubble gum pop origins. And yeah, you can even forget her present trashy humpback whale like state.

Me Against the music (Britney Spears) - this is one hot video, with its lesbian undertones and all. I would've included this in the top 5, But after much thought, I've come to the conclusion that the thought of kissing Madonna is very, very disturbing. Madonna creeps me out.

Toxic (Britney Spears)- Sure it's quite campy, but remember the scene where she's only covered with strategically placed jewels? Okay, 'nuff said. :D

Beep (Pussycat Dolls) - the Dolls look hot in this Video, with their skimpy clothes and all. This would've made my top 5, if only they didn't behave like some adoloscent roomies in some sort of pajama party.
