Crying over spilt, um, milk

Isn’t it amazing how the surprising sex scandal of the film industry keeps dominating the news? Now actresses showing off at the film awards wear slinky, sexy clothes in midnight black to emphasise that they don’t want to be seen as sexy sights in the production of Hollywood’s make-

believe world.

It might be that some of us are not too happy that the so surprising sex shock horror should keep dominating the news.

Thank goodness (some might say) that the news, which could be boring the pants of us with details of Brexit, is serving up instead this sex-it denial of sex.

Men, we learn, rather fancy women, and – surprise, surprise – a few of the more inventive ones who happen to be influential as well, have found that sometimes it takes more than a wolf-whistle or half a pint to get a gal to disrobe.
