Lost in the Ivy

If you crash land on lostintheivy.com, I know you’ve been here. I might not know who you are, but I know that someone has been here. There are footprints left all over the place, marking where people have been. Most of the tracks left behind are of the average-ordinary variety. But every once in a while you find one that leaves you scratching your head.

That’s what happened this morning when I was reviewing the activity on my blog and uncovered that someone had been linked to me via a Google search at 9:44 last night. Now that’s not the unusual part. People have stumbled into my blog by way of Google and other search engines before. But this one was different. I have no idea who this individual is (and I don’t think I’d want to know) but he or she got lost on my blog by using the following search terms: supernanny jo frost nude pics.

Indeed, if you do use the above search terms on Google, you will be linked to my online journal. As of this morning,Google ranked my site number 10 out of 15 for those who are doing the “supernanny jo frost nude pics” search. Perhaps after this posting I’ll move up a notch or two.

So why does Google list my site when someone is searching “supernanny jo frost nude pics?” Well, because I have written on my blog a piece that references Jo Frost of the hit ABC reality series “Supernanny.” I have also written a piece where I declared that I “don’t do nudes,” in reference to a suggestion that I pose for my author photo in the fashion that made model Nastasjja Kinski famous – with a snake wrapped around my naked body. Apparently those two journal entries were all it took to lead the “supernanny jo frost nude pics” Google-searcher to my blog.

But for me there is still a burning question lingering heavily in the air. What is it about Jo Frost (aka Supernanny) that would stimulate anyone to search for nude pictures of her? It seems to me that she's gone out of her way to be the antithesis of sexy, wearing horn-rimmed glasses and putting her brunette locks up in an old-maidish hair bun.

Recently ABC broadcast the UK version of her reality nanny intervention series and it was evident that she's received a bit of a makeover since jumping stateside. But sex appeal? I just don't see it. Perhaps there's a twisted Mary Poppins fixation thing going on. Or perhaps some out there are turned on by the way she authoritatively waves that index finger at those "very naughty" boys and girls.

Now I can hear Supernanny, in that proper English accent of hers, castigating that person seeking the nude pictures of her -- "Your behavior's absolutely unaseptible. You're going straight to the naughty step."
