Sexy People


You’re the suspicious type: Your spouse walks away from the computer, and you decide to click on her search history. What do you see? That she’s been visiting a site called Sexy People — a lot. Time to call the divorce attorney? Not so fast! Click on the link — you’ll be relieved. And then disturbed again.

These sexy people are anything but, and the site — which advertises itself as “a celebration of the perfect portrait” — is really a clearinghouse of photos that only a mother could love. You’ll find no shortage of mullets and ill-advised outfits, dating back some 40 years and submitted by . . . whom? Well, we’re not sure if the subjects send them in, or if mortal enemies are at fault — but whoever’s to blame, the site is a must-visit: After all, each of us remembers the days when we were “sexy” too.
