The New Yorker has a fascinating article about the lovely, floating picture-of-perfection Miss Grace Kelly. The article includes a famous quote from Alfred Hitchcock discussing the allure of a woman who leaves something to the imagination. I couldn't help but notice the glaring similarity between his quote and something Ludacris once said:


Hitchcock: “if sex is too blatant or obvious, there’s no suspense. You know why I favor sophisticated blondes in my films? We’re after the drawing-room type, the real ladies, who become whores once they’re in the bedroom.”


Ludacris: "...we want a lady in the street but a freak in the bed."


I wonder if the similarities between these two ends there? I bet Hitchcock had hos in lots of area codes.
