Is it 'the look of someone' is something you perceive as 'being sexy,?’ and which may well have nothing to do with That Person and how they feel or perceive themselves at all?
Or is it You?
Describing someone as 'sexy' may just be that members of society are sticking labels onto that person and providing him / her with their fantasies and their Expectations.
Being described 'Hot' is first of all, in the mind of the viewer and tells us about the viewer, and not necessarily the subject (or is it the 'object'?).
What does the person labelled have to say about such labelling?
She / he may enjoy the notoriety, but that is an 'IMAGE' to live up to in order to stay employed in a manner and style they are (suddenly) become accustomed to.
It's something like the old Romantic Image of airline cabin crew. It's A FANTASY manufactured and projected by advertising.
Just how long could you (realistically) to maintain yourself in that role, with ALL of our expectations of you?
