How the sausage gets made: Lust List 2008
February 6, 2008 at 5:20 pm by Thomas Wheatley in Inside CLIt’s not every day an editor tells you you’ve been assigned a project that entails looking at beautiful people, contacting and interviewing them, and then praising them in a widely distributed paper. For a young, single male, it’s one of those “Oh, hell yes I wanna do that, boss” assignments. It’d be easy, I thought. Scope out the girls, bat my eyes at the males, enlighten the public, I said.
I was wrong. Very wrong. I’ve camped out with bikers in the Smoky Mountains and sat in hot tubs with nudists in North Georgia — all in the name of journalism. But I don’t think I’ve ever conducted as much legwork for a story as I did for the 2008 Lust List. And the pressure! You folks are a wanton bunch; how could I ever let you down?
This week, I’ll give you a behind-the-scenes look at what went into tracking down and meeting some of this year’s finalists. A little more flavor than the boundaries of the paper allowed, perhaps. More profanity, too! #@$!
