Shallow Filler Post
Comedy Central is playing UHF. Man, this movie is the '80s in a nutshel, isn't it. Kinda like that one David Lee Roth video for "Just a Gigolo," only movie-length. And I can't get over how this one friend and former coworker reminds me of Weird Al.

monkey_junkey hit me with that hot celebs meme.
I haven't seen it specified if you're meant to keep this confined to contemporary peeps, i.e, those who are still alive and available at your local multiplex or whatever, so....
1. Gene Kelly. The face-cracking smile, those thigh muscles. Guh. There's just something so fiercly erotic about that guy in just the sort of way I like, especially in films like Singin' in the Rain, goofiness and joy and intensity all at once.
2. Michael Caine. Always gets me. Always. The man is frighteningly handsome when young, and still fascinating as he ages. A lot of it's the voice. I lurve that man's voice. I have a voice kink. Thurl Ravenscroft almost made it on this list sheerly on voice. Also Patrick Stewart, who gets extra points for killer posture.
3. Timothy Dalton. Sue me, I own The Living Daylights. He's so intense. And, you know. Voice.
4. Richard O'Brien. Don't ask me to explain. He's got this whole cadaverous, whippetlike figure, and yet another voice that just gets me. He's got a cameo in Flash Gordon as Timothy Dalton's henchman dressed in Robin Hood tights, and... oh, yeah. Ditto Richard E. Grant, same reasons. Obviously, I got a lot of enjoyment out of the Spice Girls movie beyond the whole girl-power-sisterhood message.
5. Isabella Rosselini. I've seen other people mention Angeline Jolie in this context, but Salma fits my profile for "girl who's so gorgeous I'd stop being straight if she made a pass." In particular, how she appears in Death Becomes Her all bedecked in beads.
6. Salma Hayek. See Frida. And, if your tastes aren't too refined, From Dusk Till Dawn.
7. Julian McMahon. The whole vulnerable bluster thing he does in Nip/Tuck just makes you really notice how pretty the man is when he's being all sad and weepy. It's almost enough to make me want to see the Fantastic Four movie. Almost.
8. Taye Diggs. Um. He's just... y'know. Really, really good-looking. Ohmigod.
9. James Marsters. Although I almost hesitate here, because a) I haven't yet seen him perform in his real accent, and b) it's possible he's just the most recent representative for my lifelong kink for chiseled-featured English guys, e.g. Peter O'Toole, Peter Cushing, Michael York, etc., etc., but he squeaks onto this list because I find myself curious to see what he'll look like as he grows old. For some reason, I'm fascinated by the idea of facial hair.
10. Kenji Ohba. Protege of Sonny Chiba, he had a little cameo in Kill Bill, Part 1 as Sonny's bald-headed assistant, but if you'd seen the guy in the early '80s when he wore tight white jeans and did kung fu in Japanese kids' sci-fi shows... hoo-baby. Another contender here in the whole wow, that's some atheletic sexy is the current Red Ranger on Power Rangers SPD - Brandon Jay Maclaren. Check those awesome dreads while he's flexing and stuff. Yep, that's the stuff.
I have new hair! Newly dyed vibrant red hair, thanks to Blade Runners on Haight Street. The stylist did it up in little finger-twirled curls, which I never would have tried myself (and probably will never be able to replicate again), and for an afternoon anyway, I looked all stylish and stuff. Bought a cheap Indian cotton scarf on Haight to celebrate, and finally got some replacement jeans for the ones I've been wearing, worn and faded with rock-and-roller style ass-rips. NOT on purpose. I mean, I like that look sometimes, the whole casual torn look, but when you've got no pants to wear without holes, it's rather less fun.
And photo class is sort of eating my brain right now. Which is a good thing.

And Timothy Dalton. 2 words: "Jane Eyre".
Guh.

I've seen James Marsters on talk shows and stuff, and he's quite the charmer, I think. If you just imagine him talking sans accent, it's about how he sounds in real life (that's probably a horrible description). I saw him shave his platinum blond on live TV after Buffy ended, and the man still looks good.
Your hair sounds so cute! Can't wait to check it out at the next Who-athon. Or maybe...you could use that snazzy photography class camera of yours to post a picture? :D
