Urbandictionary.com defines cheesecake as: A genre of glamour photography and poster art made popular in wartime pin-ups of the 1940's, often featuring modest poses by movie starlets displaying lots of leg but little explicit nudity. So called because of the resemblance of a stocking-clad female thigh to the layers of a cheesecake dessert.

Guest co-host Cathy Dolan defines cheesecake as: "connected to other issues. It's not just about a pretty picture. It's also about 'why is it every time I want to play a female character, she's scantily clad? Why is it I feel uncomfortable walking into a gaming store? Why do the people who work in those stores often ask a sort of condescending 'is this for you?'"
