Poll question: Have you ever considered wrapping yourself in plastic wrap?
As a special "hello" to an SO? Just for fun? So that you could keep everything in place?*


















*I have NEVER done this... yet. :evilgrin:

1. Be careful...
You're liable to end up like Martin Lawrence, or the painted woman in "Goldfinger".

3. I tried putting a bag over my head once.
I took it off.

I'm sure there are some right now who wish I hadn't. That's their misinterpretation and problem. :D

4. Just my head
But the moment passed.

In reality, my SO would be shocked at the waste of plastic wrap and would prefer I greeted him naked anyway.

(I have, however, gone to a former SO's place of work dressed only in a trench coat and heels. That was rather fun :blush: )

15. You're right...
the amount of plastic required to wrap oneself would be obscene. Although I suppose it depends on whether one would want to aim for more of a transparent or more of a translucent look. :P

41. My former MIL gave that freakin' book to me as a wedding present.
I was absolutely appalled by it! :puke:

I read the whole thing, because it was so unbelievable, then I threw it away. My momma didn't raise no fool!

10. at ballet, we used to wrap plastic wrap aournd out waists and
thighs...theory being that the 'shrink' wrap would cos us to sweat more in those areas and concentrate weight loss in those specific areas and help maintain the dancer's ideal physique.

14. I've never wrapped myself, but I have used "strategically placed" bows
Kinda like those Lexus commercials.

Unfortunately they wanted to return the gift for money.

24. I voted other
I did think of it at one point after watching an episode of some "forensic reality show" about DNA clues left at the scene of the crime like skin cells off the butt of a cigarette and I thought to myself how I could outsmart the "system" with a complete rubber body suit and plastic wrap that disabled even hairs from my head from being left behind as evidence of my crimes. But never in a sexual way if that is your question! Ewwww.

27. My mom told me a story a while back...
about a female author who suggested that women do this in order to make the home welcoming to the man when he returns from work. I think it's in the book Left Is Write referenced above.

Indeed, it IS a hideous, fundamentalist "porn" concept.

33. what do you do in case of a nuclear war?
:nuke: :nuke: :nuke:

Wrap yourself in a sheet and crawl slowly to the nearest cemetery.




Slowly, to avoid causing a panic.


As for the other question. I have never had an SO. Nor have I ever purchase plastic wrap.



Is there a connection?

But plastic wrap comes with that "Oh my gosh, I can almost see your boobies!" mystique. :)

46. Fuck, that's bizarre.
I can hear the German accent:

"I start at the ankles and work up. I am like a spider binding him in my gossamer web. I do it tight with several layers. Soon Roy Orbison stands before me, completely wrapped in cling-film. The pleasure is unexampled."


Maybe it makes him feel like a little girl.

50. I can't get Saran Wrap to fit over a casserole dish....
It gets all twisted and sticks together. I don't think I'd have any luck wrapping myself up; besides, I'd need more than one roll.
