OT: what's the female equivalent of "beefcake"
QuiltShopHopper
smile. Would the female equivalent be "cheescake" or something else? I
can't think right now.

~Val enters with armful of slang and other dusty reference books accumulated
over the years~......
In the early twentieth century, a new language emerged to represent the
unstable categories of a new taxonomy of sexual display. The American slang
''cheesecake'' entered the common parlance around 1915 as a term for
publicly acceptable, mass-produced images of semi-nude women not crossing
the line to porn. Between WW1 and WW2 it came to mean any good looking adult
female and then used by the American Press as a photo opportunity of
glamorous women, especially "leg shots".
Couldn't find the origin date of beefcake but it was put on the lips of the
mainstream by Helen Gurley Brown when Burt Reynolds was on the cover of
Cosmo, April 1972. The term was coined to find a male equivelent for
"cheesecake". Up until this time the term 'beefcake' was somewhat unique to
the gay community.
Cupcake is a term of endearment developed by naming a loved one a favorite
tastey treat, honeybuns, honey, sweetheart (an English candy) and before
manufactured sweets often times "sweeting" was a prefered term of
endearment. *pant, pant, pant......I need a drink* Sweeting was a generic
term for dried and candied fruit. The term "my little cupcake" was made
popular by W.C. Fields as he often used it in reference to children and
women in many of his movies.
There ya go, folks! <GBSG>

for my DH is just that, a cheesecake quilt, and if you don't mind, i will
give you thanks on the label, Val. I am thinking about naming the quilt,
"My Husband's Favorite Dessert: Cheesecake!"
I am using mostly all those Alexander Henry pinup girls, but other women
too. He wanted the quilt of naked ladies, but that's as far as I will go.

*snorfle* That's a cute car. When I was in Germany I got a huge kick
out of the itty bitty half-sized two-seat cars they have available there
-- they're about as long as a typical American car is wide, and you can
literally park two of them in one standard parking space. I really hope
that by the time our children have all flown, we can get one of those on
this side of the pond. :-)

You're probably thinking of a Smart car, which is a behemoth compared
to an Isetta.
I spend my childhood dreaming about owning one one day. I think it
was the odd cuddly rounded shape that appealed as much as the small
size. If they were animals they'd be guinea pigs. Messerschmitt
bubble cars (with the seats in line rather than side by side) were
basically fighter plane cockpits on wheels and had a rat-like lack
of charm in comparison.
They had one unusual hazard: drivers would run themselves over quite
a lot. Since the door was in the front, you couldn't do the push-
start-with-the-door-open-and-jump-in trick that people did with other
small cars of the time; you had to get in front of it with the door
open and pull, taking a flying leap backwards into the seat when it
fired up. If you weren't quite quick enough, splat. But it was so
light you probably wouldn't be badly hurt.

why people ran screaming away from his tiny car, not realising that
the dog appeared to be the driver. The same man lost the car to an
elephant during a St Patrick's day parade. Car was red, elephant was
