Ten Guilty Pleasures

By
Real Estate Agent with Prudential Calfornia Realty

 A guilty pleasure is something one enjoys and considers pleasurable despite feeling guilt for enjoying it. The "guilt" involved is sometimes simply fear of others discovering one's lowbrow or otherwise embarrassing tastes. Fashion, music,and junk food can be examples of guilty pleasures.

 In an effort to come clean, I've decided to share my list with you.

1. All things Barbra Streisand. I mean everything from Funny Girl to her One Voice Concert at " Camp Barbra" LOL

2. Fried Twinkies.

3.80's Music-  It was super cheesy and I LOVE IT!! Wham, Madonna, The Pretenders, Simple Minds, and dont forget to "Wake me up, before you GoGo!"

4. The Hunger- The Egyptian vampire lady Miriam subsists upon the blood of her lovers. In return the guys or girls don't age. Stars David Bowie, Catherine Deneuve and Susan Surandon.

5. Dlisted.com ( Pop coulture and Gossip with a sharp wit)

6. Flirting

7. Finding a great deal at Ross and NOT having to wait in a long check out line.

8. Roller Derby- I have a friend (Cannibal Kitty) who means business on the rink!

9.  Lady Gaga

10. Watching Soap Operas and TV with a bag of Popcorn and a Dr. Pepper.- Specifically ,All My Children, TrueBlood, Man vs. Wild and Damages.

Come on admit it.  We ALL have our Gulity Pleasures. What are some of yours?

This is a good post--tells me a lot about you! A few of my guilty pleasures are..

a little dessert every night, some shows on Food Network, reading pop culture gossip and venting to a fellow agent in my office some of the stunts that clients and agents try to get away with!

Ha, I loved reading this Krista; I have never seen, nor eaten, a fried twinkie---how is it fried; like a donut in hot oil ?

eating a "payday" candy bar, watching the Ellen show,( dvr'd), sleeping in late on Sunday mornings, letting a call go to voice mail once in a while, having cold pizza for breakfast.... I'm sure there's more; but those are "tops" for me !

I did not see any of mine on the list.  Well, H.E.B.'s "intense chocolate" ice cream is pretty good.  Keep it to one scoop though.  You don't want it to control you.

Hi Krista,

I really like your post.
A good excuse is, we work hard so we have earned it!
I love songs by Rod Stewart & Elton John.
My favorite guilty pleasure is  " Cheese Cake"
Our secret "I can eat a whole cheese cake in a few days!"

Plus I love shopping for new perfumes
