I think Fabio is kind of icky. He gets the joke, though, which is rare for a celebrity/supermodel type.

I remember picking up my first bodice-ripper and being appalled at the amount of rape in it! If someone made a movie where the girl gets assaulted and then falls madly in love with her rapist, the feminists would be up in arms!

I don't really see the appeal. My ditsy younger sister loves them, though.
