Fifty Shades Hype

Okay, the whole breaktime left me and my colleagues discussing Book 1.
I just cannot believe that this book will be of interest to all.

Anyway, X, Y and Z exchanged emails yesterday relative to this latest object of our curiousity. At breaktime, it made everyone listening (eavesdropping)...Hahaha!

What's with the hype?

Lines from:

X:  "Di ko alam kung anong klase imagination meron ang author. Grabe!"( I don't know what kind of imagination the author has. Unbelievable!)

Y:  " Ako nabasa ko yan nung Holy Week." (I read that during the Holy Week)

Z:  " Out of stock yan sa bookstore." ( No stock in the bookstore). Though she has her ebook version but Z likes hers in paper, covered with plastic and all. perhaps even with her kikay stickers on them...hehehe Peace!

Anyway, the discussion went on and did not end at breaktime. It was extended on our email exchanges. This was triggered by Y. She sent an email reminding us that a  lot of women were fired from their work because of the book/s. Ironically, we introduced the book to the HR head and seem to show interest too. Whew! I smell labor cases. Wink! Wink!

Then, Y sent  her choices for Christian Grey.

Y's choices:



X's choices:





To this, Y replied: " They don't look like 27. They look like 47."

Z's choice:


Hmmm... can't wait for Hollywood to come up with the final casting. Even in the search engines, an electronic sketch of how Grey looked like became a trend. Huwaaat!

 
I just hope the choice for Grey would not shock us.
