I have quite a few and they are awesome. 1) Backstreet Boys - I saw them Front Row in concert a few years ago sans kids and I'm pretty sure Nick and Kevin were creeped out. Every time they spotted my hairy face in the sea of 12 year old chicks they threw up in their mouth a little bit. 2) Zombie Movies - They can be any type but preferably Italian Zombie movies from the 70's. Nothing more relaxing then an evening alone with the Undead. 3) Dana Loesch rapping. I would buy that shit on itunes in a heartbeat. Nuff said!

Nothing too fascinating I'm afraid, maybe that's what makes them guilty pleasures- that they are so mundane! I love soap operas on ABC, actually tv in general, which is so unPC in my granola type community.I haven't been a die hard fan, like I don't pursue the actors or join a soap opera forum or anything but When I am left without hubby to sit on the couch at night it is definitely where I go.... if 24 or Masterpiece Theatre or Damages or The Dog Whisperer isn't on. Oh, also, blogging, can't forget that. When I talk to people about blogging they look at me like I have three heads so I pretty much keep it a secret- except from other bloggers!

this is so pathetic, i can't think of one. loud music? sleeping in? trashy novels? ooh! twilight. do these count?

OMG Dana, you so made my day! Thank you for that. As for guilty pleasures... 1. When everyone is asleep for the night, sitting back with a cup of coffee and watching ANY of the Law and Order or CSI off the DVR because I can skip the commercials;) 2. Vin Diesel enough said. 3. Carmel 'n Cheese mix popcorn from Garretts in Chicago - And Not Sharing!

I agree with Mindy ... "guilty pleasure" is a bit of a misnomer. No guilt here! Dark chocolate NCIS shiraz playing free online computer games after the baby and hubby are in bed celebrity gossip The key is "all things in moderation!"

I agree that "guilty pleasure" is not a accurate term... But there are definitely things that I like that get raised eyebrows from the general public. Hi, my name is Erin and I'm a Broadway geek. Seriously about 75% of the music I listen to are broadway tunes. I can tell you that Neil Patrick Harris (Doogie/Barney) starred in Assassins on Broadway, Vanessa Williams was in the revival of Into the Woods and Marcia from Brady Bunch once starred as Rizzo in Grease. I had a coworker walk up to my desk and pick up my MP3 player that I just took off and started asking if I liked certain bands until she realized what was playing at the moment. Seriously I didn't have a clue to the names she was rattling off! Another guilty pleasure that both my husband (he'll never admit to it) and I enjoy is ICarly. Coming downstairs after putting the little one to bed, I caught my husband flipping over to the new episode of ICarly, because all week they had been promoting that two of the main character would kiss that night. And we watched it.

McDonald's, General Hospital, Milky Way bars, Diet Coke, sitcoms, Barbra Streisand, American Idol, chick flicks and Martha Stewart (show & mag). It's nice to have that off my chest.

Dana, that was awesome. Seriously. Diet Coke is a guilty pleasure? Man, I'm in for life. As for guilty pleasures, I'd have to say my No. 1 offense is wasting untold hours online. I don't overdo the social networking thing (my rule of thumb is that my real life has to at least be as robust as my online life), but I'm known to frequent Facebook and I'm kind of obsessed with sharing photos. Also, I seem to have a bit of a weakness for teenage and young adult fiction. It's always the good stuff (Harry Potter, R.L. Stine's older stuff), but good stuff for an age group a decade or two younger than me. Happily, my son is an advanced reader, so I can "share it with him." Yeah, that's it.

Oh man. Guilty pleasures are not things I want. But mildly-unhelpful-to-life-yet-makes-me-super-happy? Yeah, I am all about that! Celebrity info gets me. OMG? check. US magazine online? Check. Jezebel.com is good for some celebrity gossip minus the body snarking. Also, Starbucks. I used to work there and I just love it. So. Much. I like coffee in general but a Sbux makes me happy. The colors. The Siren. The ridiculous names for the sizes. And food. This is no surprise to anyone who knows me but boy howdy am I a foodie at heart! I am with Dana and Giyen, if I don't have to cook, EVEN BETTER! Also, don't give me any of that low-fat, "lite" garbage. I want full fat and full flavor. I would rather exercise more than eat sub-par food. One more: PCD. Yeah, they make my hips gyrate. Hubby is happy. Request: MORE RAPPING!! That made my whole day!

dana- you are brave. just know that i was rapping with you... only WITHOUT my webcam on. :) considering the fact that my website is My Bottle's Up! dot com, i think it goes without saying that my guiltiest pleasure is wine... vino... "the wineses" as a college roommate and i once drunkenly referred to the amount of glasses we consumed sitting on a porch. when mindy mentioned wine and cheese, i salivated. wine!!!! WIIIIIIIINE!!!!!! (who has a bottle opener?)
