Enact Your Secret Fantasy

When you think about secret fantasies, you probably imagine a lot of strange things. Fetish clubs, swinger’s ads and jungle safaris all might come to mind. It seems like if the word fantasy isn’t about Tolkien these days, it’s about sex.

And that’s fine and dandy; if your secret fantasy is sexual and safe—and doesn’t harm anyone in the process—that’s cool. But when I think of a secret fantasy, I think of noodles.

Remember in Patch Adams when that elderly woman—the same one who played that darling promiscuous pianist in The Wedding Singer—confesses to Patch that her dream—a dream she’s had every since childhood— is to swim in a giant bowl of noodles? Her eyes light up and she squeezes her hand, it excites her so damn much.

Yeah, I dig that.

One of the items on my list is to “have a bath in something weird.” I left it loose on purpose, just in case I find something really awesome to bathe in. So far I’ve done the odd herbal sachet, bath bomb, and even food coloring but other than that, nothing too weird as of yet. (Maybe jell-o…?)

Is your secret fantasy on your Living To-Do List? If not, why not? Get it down to make sure you get it done. Don’t be embarrassed or shy—this is your personal list and you don’t have to share it with anyone. Of course, if you want to share, we’re all ears!

And as always, just to get you started, here are a few ideas…

Something Romantic: Be serenaded. Ride in a gondola. Be whisked away on a private jet for a lunch in Paris. Don an Audrey Hepburn dress and be the belle of the ball. Wear an ape outfit and get down with your partner Darwin-style. Declare your love over a football field. No romantic dream is too big or too small!

Something Adventurous: Skydive while wearing an adult diaper and a wetsuit. Eat ten things that are still alive. Climb Everest and descend to your own personal cheer squad. Travel the world and only visit places that have drinks named after them. What’s your secret adventure fantasy?

Something Just Plain Weird: Make a dress out of all recycled material and crash someone’s Prom. Sleep next to a goat to see if he kicks. OK, let’s face it, most of the stuff listed above will qualify.

How about it? The old woman got her noodle fantasy fulfilled—will you do the same with your secret fantasy?
