Canada Is Pervy About Business Attire

February 1, 2009 By Robert Lanham

From the Canadian wire (Canwest News Service):

Business suits are the new shorthand for sexy, according to a survey released Thursday indicating Canadian men and women alike fantasize more about white-collar workers than such perennial objects of desire as firefighters, rock stars and models.
“Given the global financial crisis, suits and business attire are the new hot uniforms, since they remind us of what really turns us on: employment,” says Robert Lanham, a humorist who has written three books on North American idiosyncrasies.
“When fantasy becomes dull, we begin to long for the real thing. So it makes perfect sense that the corporate uniforms we wear and see every day would become the new fetish.”
