RE: Word Usage, House Porn — Where Did That Term Originate?

This is a response I posted on the D Home Blog to this cute post by our own Christine Lieb, who has BTW a very good eye for cottage porn. But does anyone else know where “House Porn” originated?

Oh Miss Christine, you are so clever, trying to up your page views by using one of my fave terms. House porn can be clean or dirty, depending on the eye of the beholder. (Like there’s something that turns all of us on, though what turns me on may not waggle your button — I’m totally talking Real estate here.) My my even the W carries JimmyJane products in their squeaky clean minimalistic gift shop. I have been asked where the term originated, my guess is out west, likely LA where all the sins of the world conceive, like unaffordable housing and adjustable rate mortgages, and that Mama at the RealEstalker has something to do with it but gosh, I hate to give her any more press lest she start pickin’ on our Texas hair again. (Don’t touch that link!)
