It’s a sensual ladies day on AOC after devoting significant time to actor Eva Mendes. Besides Renewing a 2012 fashion story ‘Hot & Bothered’ by Txema Yeste, I pulled together several other Mendes fashion stories with interviews.

AOC is very into brain science and has been for decades. I began thinking about the different ways that the brains of women like Eva Mendes and Monica Bellucci ‘light up’ under neuroimaging. So I directed specific questions to AI about women who are passionate about flowers, dancing and swimming only for pleasure and not competition.

I shared the reponse verbatim, because it prompts more thinking about how the brains of very sensual people are different from those who just don’t feel the vibe most of the time; or those who identify as conservatives who regard sensuality as sinful.

It is highly logical that Monica Bellucci, like Mendes enjoys significantly higher SPS: sensory processing sensitivity. They surely rate higher on ‘Openness to Experience.’ You can project much about Bellucci’s brain into the article. There is no end to the degree that Anne is fascinated with brain science as the real truth serum.
