My kit arrived the other day. Along with some of the most beautiful lingerie and loungewear, my kit (affectionately named 'Kit') also contained a few rather confusing-looking toys and some really fun fancy dress outfits. One of the outfits really got me thinking - is Santa sexy?
As a child everyone knows the same story - Father Christmas, Santa, St. Nick, whichever name he goes by, he is still a jovial fat man who slides down ones chimney with a huge bag of presents just for you. He travels by sleigh and reindeer, and he visits every single child on planet Earth in one night. With that story in mind I have a question: why is there a Miss Sexy Santa costume in Kit?
I asked my other half if he thought there was something sexy about Santa. "I can't say I'm heavily into to fat guys with beards, Liv", came the reply. So then it became a question of "is this outfit really sexy to a man?" He took one look at it and said no. No it's not sexy, no it's not technically Santa either and no, I don't care if it comes with a hat.
So, obviously, Santa isn't the sexy bit - the idea that a woman has gone to the bother of finding a costume that she believes her man will find attractive is the sexy bit. The woman in the costume who does the whole routine of 'Santa Baby' in the Mariyln-esque voice with the wiggly hips...
Santa is not sexy. Miss Santa is though, and that's you. So go forth this festive season and be the sexiest Santa you can be! (Weirdest sentence ever).
