Look, it was a different time. A time when a future senator named Scott Brown could take off his pants in Cosmopolitan and his special lady Gail Huff was the “available” one. 

Sometimes I really miss the 80s.

And if you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to see a Republican senator’s wife squeeze a tube of sunscreen right into a happy ending in a low-rent version of Duran Duran’s “Rio,” Digney Fignus’s all-but-subtext-free “Girl with the Curious Hand” is here to scratch that particular itch. Thanks, YouTube!
