Why Hot Literati

Who said being super sexy and loving complex literature were mutually exclusive? I bet Virginia Woolf would have torn up the dance floor at the gay club if she could have.

I also love when people come together around something they are passionate about and feel like their hot, sexy, confident selves while doing it.
