Upon his return from the Spanish-American War, Roosevelt embarked upon an ambitious crusade to establish a national park system and protect our natural resources for coming generations. The visionary conservationist reportedly sipped fine French Cognac , sauteed freshly caught rainbow trout and smoked a secret blend in the Wyoming wilderness while surveying Yellowstone National Park. He experienced first hand the mystical rejuvenating powers of Guilty Pleasures pursuits.
His love of Bratwurst, hunting, the outdoors, an occasional decanter of Rum and a desire to "speak softly, but carry a big stick," gave him worldwide credibility and prominence. As as the 26th US President, Roosevelt was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for negotiating the end of the Russo-Japanese War .
However, recently discovered manuscripts found hidden in a wine cellar in the Bordeaux region of France indicate that approximately 110 years earlier, a visiting Dr. Benjamin Franklin and a local Skinny Chick, Elana Bardot, created the Guilty Pleasures Club to celebrate their love of aged French Red Wines, silk pajamas, hot mineral bathes and the epicurean delicacies from the legendary chefs at the Palace of Versailles.
Their shared vision of pursuing personal pleasures might be the real the French people enjoy good health and long lifespan in spite of their high fat diet and cigarette smoking. Elana was supposedly the great, great, great, great Grandmother of famed French actress Brigitte Bardot.
More than a Statesman, the decadent Dr. Franklin was a great innovator and inventor. The Franklin stove was not his only lasting lifestyle invention. Apparently while in France, Franklin's pen name changed from Silence Dogood to Murmur Feelgood. Did the Guilty Pleasures Club bear his signature lust for the good life?
Those skinny Bardot Babes were quite influential when it came to enjoying Guilty Pleasures. There is a reason Dr. Franklin lived such a long and eventful guiltorius life. Who would want leave a young Bardot?
