FOR LUST’S SAKE
For quite some time now - probably close to a year - I’ve had several requests from readers to write an entirely shallow post, highlighting men in the spotlight that I think are the most bone-a-licious. Funny how something so seemingly easy to write about has taken me this long to finally getting my booty around to actually doing.
So, without further adieu, I present to you ten men who wouldn’t have to ask me twice to hop on top. They are, in no particular order…
——————————————————
Who: Malcolm McDowell (only circa 1968-1975)
Where You Know Him From: If…, A Clockwork Orange, Caligula
Why He Makes Me Weak: One only needs to look at the one-two punch of his arched eyebrow combined with the curl of his lip. It instantly causes me to wonder about all the naughty things he’s thinking that he’d like to be doing to a girl like me.

Who: Michael Bublé
Where You Know Him From: Burnaby, B.C.-born crooner, entertainer and lady killer
Why He Makes Me Weak: This is a man who’s seduction routine is so complete, between his looks and his smooth voice, that he doesn’t need to be calculating in the slightest - he just chooses to play that game.

Who: Colin Farrell
Where You Know Him From: Irish actor, beer drinker and all-around badass
Why He Makes Me Weak: It took Mr. Farrell quite some time to win me over, but his take-charge attitude in everything brings out the submissive girl in me…not that it takes much, mind you.

Who: Timothy Olyphant
Where You Know Him From: Sex and the City (as 20-something Sam), Catch and Release, Deadwood
Why He Makes Me Weak: When he’s not, he’s not (see Gone In 60 Seconds); but when he’s hot, he’s hot. What girl wouldn’t want to sit on the bathroom sink for him (see Catch and Release)?

Who: Lukas Haas
Where You Know Him From: Boys, Brick, 24 and Last Days
Why He Makes Me Weak: I’m a sucker for lanky guys with dark hair and always have been…plus Lukas has that whole “I’m kinda emo but super hot” thing going on. Word is, however, that he’s a modelizer so I guess I can forget about that one.

Who: Clive Owen
Where You Know Him From: The Bourne Identity, Children of Men, Elizabeth: The Golden Age and “The Hire” series of BMW commercials
Why He Makes Me Weak: It’s hard not to notice a man who oozes equal amounts of sex appeal, confidence and coolness…all behind the sexiest British accent I’ve ever heard (and I’m not an accent girl). Plus, have you seen those BMW commercials? Hot damn!

Who: Kanye West
Where You Know Him From: The man behind some of the sexiest beats and flashiest videos to grace MTV’s screen since Duran Duran reigned supreme in 1983.
Why He Makes Me Weak: The man can sing, the man can dance, the man can keep a rhythm and the man can dress. I can only imagine how tasty he smells…perhaps the scents of leather, cash and glistening sweat.

Who: Ashton Kutcher
Where You Know Him From: That 70s Show, Dude…Where’s My Car?, The Butterfly Effect, The Guardian and the end of Demi Moore’s short leash
Why He Makes Me Weak: It’s that tall, lanky dark guy thing again. Plus, he has this undeniable, just-can’t-refuse boyish charm that commands pretty much anything and everything he wants. I also love it when guys are comfortable enough to be slight goofballs, so he’s definitely got that going for him.

Who: Chris Noth
Where You Know Him From: He’s Mr. Freakin’ Big! Oh and he’s on that Law & Order show or whatever…
Why He Makes Me Weak: He’s the man who has won, broken and won again the heart of the one woman every other woman dreams of being (or at least dreams of owning her closet). He’s suave, charming and dare I say debonaire? Not to mention that eyebrow thing he does. There will be plenty of that. Oh yes…
Photo: Movie Snobs
Who: Leonardo DiCaprio
Where You Know Him From: This Boy’s Life, Romeo + Juliet, The Beach, Catch Me If You Can, Blood Diamond, The Departed and some movie about a big boat on the Atlantic…
Why He Makes Me Weak: Leo’s the quintessential boy-next-door. He’s sweet, courteous and definitely the kind of man you could take home to mom (as long as mom doesn’t steal him from you). However, there’s also the flipside of him that exudes bad boy. Take me home Leo, will you? Leonardo’s known to run around town with Lukas Haas and their gaggle of models so he’s another one of those “off limits” boys. But a girl can dream, right?

Okay, your turn…who have I forgotten?

Oh how I love a fun frivolous post every once in a while! I can appreciate a few of your top ten…but I have my own which at the moment include…Eric Bana, James Spader, Viggo Mortensen, Keanu Reeves and always DeNiro.
Keanu is classic…like a Chanel suit. He’ll never go out of style.
Love this post! I definitely don’t disagree with any of your choices, all fine men you’ve mentioned…but I have a few others who make me weak in the knee as well. Ethan Hawke is one. I’ve been lusting after him for as long as I remember. His characters in Reality Bites and Before Sunrise will always do it for me. I also have a soft spot for Matt Dillon. He’s so masculine and sexy and in all the right ways. And I’ll probably get teased for mentioning this last one, but I just can’t lose my little crush on Justin Timberlake. His most recent SNL skits sealed the deal for me. The guy is hilarious (he has that same “willing to be a goofball” quality as Ashton).
Then speaking of goofballs, let’s add Andy Samberg to the list.
Oh I was almost going to make a post like this the other night. But I had too much wine and it was mostly just about Hugh Laurie… awwwww yyeeaaaaaah
PS - Even though Ashton if from Iowa, I think he’s from a neighbouring town that I’m supposed to hate.
Hmm, I’ll also add Beckham (as long as he keeps his mouth shut - and by that I mean no speaking) and various hockey players from our home team… I think you know who. Oh and “Seth” from the OC cause he’s a nerd who likes good music although I think there’s like 40 years age difference between him and Hugh Laurie - ah well.
Hockey players, yes…I’ve been crushing on Trev since I was about 6 years old. Total babe with a heart of gold.
This was the perfect post to read with my coffee on a Friday morning!
I have a few husbands. My favs (this morning) are:
Jake Gyllenhaal
Michael Buble
Joshua Jackson - post Dawson’s Creek of course
and…Hugh Grant
Fernando Alonso
I just watched King Arthur the other day and I have to admit that I think Clive Owen is extremely delicious. I have to add Gerard Butler and Jeffrey Dean Morgan…dark, muscular men…mmm.
Johnny Knoxville and John Mayer.
The old in-out and some ultraviolence. Hehe - I agree with Malcolm McDowell. I never knew his name. I prefer to think of him as Alex.
Christian Bale, Nicholas Cage…
Ok, so here we go… notable absentees…
Matt Damon
Ryan Reynolds (from Vancouver, no less!)
James Van Der Beek (Dawson’s Creek)
Ben Affleck
Eric Winter (Jason on Brothers & Sisters)
Dave Annable (Justin on B&S)
Reichen Lehmkuhl (I like him, so sue me)
Drew Fuller (from Charmed)
Wes Ramsey (same)
Ok, I could go on, but I think these are enough
oh and most definitely, great choice on Timothy Olyphant.
[...] this year, I let my lust do the typing and presented you all with a delicious list of men that my fiddle fancies. Unfortunately, there isn’t always room for everyone on that list, [...]
