Less-than-brilliantly-scripted movies/tv which are 'redeemed' by the presence of:

-Hot men
-Ridiculously froofy period costume
-Hot men not wearing much
-Cheap bawdy and/or slapstick humour
-Hot men not wearing much except ridiculously froofy period costume, performing cheap bawdy and/or slapstick humour

I try not to admit to most of this, because I live with a historian and I'm absolutely for realising how relevant and interesting history is, not that it consisted of absolutely nothing except simpering females in Hollywood-meets-Jane-Austen dresses swooning over love letters. Despite this, I'm probably never going to get over my Sharpe fixation...or that persistent interest in A Knight's Tale (although I do still have the decency to condemn about 40% of Jane Austen adaptations).

Lady Gaga. I admit it. She's completely insane, but I have to admire her nerve for doing half of the things she does.

That, and the beats are catchy and the lyrics make me giggle.

Silent Witness.
I have every episode on my computer, all the available DVDs (not enough - what's the BBC playing at?), and season 5 onwards taped on video. The theme tune is on my iPod, and was briefly my ringtone. I also have a running tally of misfortunes per character Cheesy
And I have jackets named Harry and Nikki...

Old cartoons. I'm watching the Max Fleischer Superman episodes right now in fact.

I can't honestly say I feel guilty about it though.  Tongue

have you heard of a wonderful application called DOSBox? it's a DOS emulator designed for playing such games, it may be of some use to you

I think another guilty pleasure of mine is designing clothes xD

Appletinis.  Don't get me wrong, I usually drink a good stout, but if my week has been hellish I drink an appletini.


Which is what I am currently doing.

If it's cheap redwine I don't think the "no ice" rule applies.  After a point of cheapness red wine is just cool aid and isopropyl.

My guilty pleasure... Hmmm... There are so many!

Possibly, watching The Rocky Horror Picture Show is probably my favourite one. Oh, or is it that chocolatey goodness caused by dropping a chocolate digestive in tea then drinking it?! Oh the choices!

Does the Tunnock's van work in the same way as an ice cream van then? It sounds great Cheesy

I'm not sure what my guilty pleasure would be...Eating whole big bags of pretzels probably, i'm nearly addicted :3

My guilty pleasure:  Leather coats and jackets.  Love, love, love them.  I love the smell and feel of leather, and the way the scent of a leather coat can change subtly over time so that each time you put it on, you get a flood of memories from the scent.  Absolutely amazing.
