Thirst Aid Kit: Bims Thirst 123s

Published: July 23, 2020, 10 a.m.

It\u2019s Bim\u2019s turn to delve into the roots of her thirst habits \u2014 and naturally, it turned out to be a journey through TV and film! Watching Tevin Campbell sing to Ashley on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and falling in love with Dwayne Wayne on A Different World led naturally to a love for Capeside\u2019s finest, Pacey Witter\u2026 and also the Blue Moon Agency\u2019s David Addison (Bruce Willis). We also trace Bim\u2019s love for a Strong Nose to David Duchovny (Red Shoe Diaries) and ER\u2019s Dr Luka Kovac (Goran Vi\u0161nji\u0107). Thirst is complex, y\u2019all.\nIn our Plus segment, we take a look at some of the cliche \u2018sexy time\u2019 tropes in film and TV and why they work (or not): the wanton clearing of a desk (hello, Friends and also The Good Wife); the full-bodied slam against the wall/bookcase (Atonement, Always Be My Maybe, The Night Manager) and why we do NOT fool around with food.
