It's Friday, I'm in Love!

Took me all day and night to come up with a lyric title.  Guess away!


Oh it's that wonderful time of year, when those genius people at PEOPLE mag roll out their Sexiest Man Alive issue.  And this year, they really got it right:





Really all I can say is, "DUH."  The choice, as far as I'm concerned, is a total no brainer!

Unfortunately, I had to break it to Jethro that once again they forgot to include him.  I mean, like I said they got the cover boy right this year, but they I sometimes seriously wonder what the heck they're thinking.  For example.  The first time Johnny got this title, the cover looked like this:




Honestly, PEOPLE?  Really?  It took until 2003 which is either unexplainable or baffling, and then, then, they gave 1/3 of the cover to Bachelor Boob.  Tell me, where is he now?  No don't tell me.  Have any other Sexy Men had to share a cover????

And then they go and leave out the Sexiest Recording Engineer out of it too.

But it's okay.  They've honoured Johnny again and he's now in the Two Time club with George and Brad.  Can you see them having a club meeting?  George would have to be all slicked up with his Dapper Dan Hair Pomade...


Brad would be kinda sleepy lookin' what with all a them younguns runnin' around on his place...





and Johnny would be... well, he'd be his usual perfect combination of scruffy and elegant...




Hugh Jackman apparently quipped recently that he's happy to pass along the title since he's looking forward to slacking off in the appearance maintenance.  I'm confident Johnny won't have any issues with that.  Mostly because he seems pretty happy keeping on with whatever he's been doing.

I have to include a few other faces from the mag's website feature.

Gotta love happy, healthy looking RDJ with his big brown eyes and silver whiskers.




And hey, Rpattz looks clean!  He's a strange boy.  He's absolutely lovely with those cat eyes and nice lips and handsome jaw, but he often photographs like he's just crawled hungover out of a ditch.



Mind you I can handle a pretty heavy amount of scruff and grime.  That's what soap was invented for.





I can get past it.  (Also that's a darn pretty National he's holding.)

But his fingernails are all long and nasty in that movie but I can still get past it.  Nothing a nail clipper can't fix.  Doesn't change anything. I still dig him.




I just love this guy's style.  He makes his own decisions, lives by his own standards, and manages to be a success on his own terms.  If that means accepting an award wearing a suit jacket with his plaid shirt tied around his waist, I'm cool with it.


You never know when you're going to need an extra plaid shirt.  So few people in the world realize that.


So, what makes a man sexy?

Honesty?

Humour?

Confidence?

All that and more?  Something indefinable?   What do you dudes think makes you awesome?

Heck with my commentary.  Have some pictures.  We all know why you're here today.

  1. The Cure, of course :)


    I don't care if Monday's blue
    Tuesday's grey and Wednesday too
    Thursday I don't care about you
    It's Friday, I'm in love

    Monday you can fall apart
    Tuesday, Wednesday break my heart
    Oh, Thursday doesn't even start
    It's Friday I'm in love

    Saturday, wait
    And Sunday always comes too late
    But Friday, never hesitate...

    I don't care if Mondays black
    Tuesday, Wednesday - heart attack
    Thursday, never looking back
    It's Friday, I'm in love

    Monday, you can hold your head
    Tuesday, Wednesday stay in bed
    Or Thursday - watch the walls instead
    It's Friday, I'm in love

    Saturday, wait
    And Sunday always comes too late
    But Friday, never hesitate...

    Dressed up to the eyes
    It's a wonderful surprise
    To see your shoes and your spirits rise
    Throwing out your frown
    And just smiling at the sound
    And as sleek as a sheik
    Spinning round and round
    Always take a big bite
    It's such a gorgeous sight
    To see you eat in the middle of the night
    You can never get enough
    Enough of this stuff
    It's Friday, I'm in love

    I don't care if Monday's blue
    Tuesday's grey and Wednesday too
    Thursday I don't care about you
    It's Friday, I'm in love

    Monday you can fall apart
    Tuesday, Wednesday break my heart
    Thursday doesn't even start
    It's Friday I'm in love

    I love me some RDJ, Friday or any other day in fact.

  3. Ah, the Cure. Always a #1 choice. Love, love, LOVE them. Don't let me age myself, but I did graduate hs in 1989...this is still my all-time fave song by The Cure.

    I would say I'm sorry
    If I thought that it would change your mind
    But I know that this time
    I have said too much
    Been too unkind

    I try to laugh about it
    Cover it all up with lies
    I try and laugh about it
    Hiding the tears in my eyes
    Because boys don't cry
    Boys don't cry

    I would break down at your feet
    And beg forgiveness
    Plead with you
    But I know that it's too late
    And now there's nothing I can do

    So I try to laugh about it
    Cover it all up with lies
    I try to laugh about it
    Hiding the tears in my eyes
    Because boys don't cry

    I would tell you
    That I loved you
    If I thought that you would stay
    But I know that it's no use
    That you've already
    Gone away

    Misjudged your limit
    Pushed you too far
    Took you for granted
    I thought that you needed me more

    Now I would do most anything
    To get you back by my side
    But I just keep on laughing
    Hiding the tears in my eyes
    Because boys don't cry
    Boys don't cry
    Boys don't cry

    Lovin' the eye candy today, Heidi. Now, if I could just get out of work and take a stroll in the rain...life would be just fine.

  4. The Cure are very Goth lately - although Robert Smith looks all the better for it.

    No idea what anyone sees in me. Never had any idea. Never even bothered to think about it.

  5. Maybe, 4D, maybe that's what IT is? The never bothering to think about it?

    Lopin, we're the same age... The Cure seemed to be one of those bands that all my diverse friends could agree on, the wavers and the proto-goths (although they weren't called that) the small town punkers, the kids who looked normal but couldn't have been cuz I gravitated to others with interesting brains...

    My metal head friends never liked the Cure though. Go figure.

    ReplyDelete
  6. Agreed. Metal heads never liked any "alternative rock". I feel it's because they felt threatened. Mwahahaha!!! On Friday night cruises, I loved to crank up Girlfriend In A Coma by The Smiths just to piss them off.

  7. I just received a text message from Jax who is out and about with her University pals in London somewhere.

    She believes the chap sitting a few tables away may be the Deppmeister.

    She may also be wrong...

    I have given her firm instructions should she be right regarding what he must put on the second autograph she gets.

    My profuse apologies if

    A) She's mistaken or
    B) Doesn't ask....

    I await with bated breath....

  8. Yesterday I came by, I ogled, I hummed the tune all day...and I never left a comment. Hmmmm..... too distracted by great songs and great photos??

    I hope you had an awesome weekend and you're healing well.

    I get to go play with puppies tomorrow. I've been told the adorable one is mine if I want it. Pictures may soon flood my blog. :)

  9. All right then. Cure is not on my short list (not even close). Sorry.

    So try this on for size:

    Motionless faces
    Park of the wasted
    In the pale gloom
    I hang on to you
    In the pale gloom
    I am safe and cool

    and then this:

    I riddle the riddler
    Who plays the fiddler
    Of a forgotten song
    short over long
    gasping for air
    in the arms of the fair ...

    Prize may be claimed after a skill testing question.

  10. Dern that Biddie. I could hear it in my head, just couldn't get it out.

    RDJ is looking fine these days isn't he?

    Thanks for the Johnny fix. But you didn't include my favorite pic, the one where he's standing on a deck or a boat, shirtless, with a glass of wine in his hand, eyes closed to the sun. Oh My! THAT pic makes him the sexiest for sure. Whew!

  11. Jules, I'm saving that one. Can't have my brain explode so regularly...

    Paul I googled it!!! At least the first verse, hee hee! Two questions: How did you find them, and what the heck is in the water in those scandinavian countries????
