Utterly shallow

tilly_stratfordYou got your weapons cocked, your targets in your sights
There's a party raging somewhere in the world
You gotta serve your country, gotta service your girl
You're all enlisted in the army of the night
I'm rapidly running out of space on this laptop. I ought to put all my music on the LACIE hard drive ere long. Damn.
I've also got a massive amount of images, neatly organized in specific folders. I did some reorganizing and was pleased to discover that now only about a third in my "attractive celebrities" folder are dead. See? I'm not so different from the next girl. Why, a couple of them are even below the age of forty these days!
Then I realized that I lose all my cool points for the fact that Napoleon Bonaparte is in that folder.
Napoleon Bonaparte.
It's not even an actor playing the part, it's the portrait by baron Antoine-Jean Gros. I know, I know, I have issues.
So anyway, this seemed like a perfect time to do the "top ten sexy famous men" meme.
01. Compose a list of YOUR top ten sexiest famous men.
02. Collect one picture of each guy on your list.
03. Post them in your journal.
04. Tag five people to do the same.
Haven't they pretty much proved that girls' taste in men is wont to change depending on the time of month? Which means this list could change tomorrow. Or with age. Christ, once even I thought a tubby middle-aged musical performer was the Adonis of our age. Which reminds me: Not all of these people are scrumptious these days, so they're on the list as handsome youths - that's just how my mind works.
So anyway, from ten to one (ooh, because that makes it so much more exciting):
10. Frédéric Diefenthal
Yes, it's that bloody Frenchman again. He would have been higher on my list if it wasn't for the fact that every time he cuts his curls he breaks my heart.
09. Leslie Howard
I think I might be the only female in history who watches Gone With the Wind for Ashley Wilkes and not Rhett Butler (Rhett can keep Scarlett, she's a whiny biatch anyway). The first dead guy on our list, he was killed by the nazis as an effort to demoralize the British.
08. Paul McCartney
Or more precisely: young Paul McCartney, since ol' Macca is one of those men who looks more and more like somebody's grandmother with each passing year. Bonus John Lennon.
07. Jon Stewart
I mean, I can't be the only one who thinks this, right? ...Right?
06. Hugh Laurie
I'd just like to point out that Laurie has pretty much always been sexystuff, but like wine, he seems to improve with age (I had no idea I had a thing for stubble until recently anyway).
05. Bing Crosby
He's not just the guy who sings White Christmas, you know. If you can't understand the appeal you should see him in all his eyeliner and nightshirt glory in Going Hollywood. Apart from Howard he's the only dead guy on this list. I'm improving.
04. Jeremy Irons
One of the very, very few who is sexy at any age. Bonus sexy voice as well.
03. Michael Caine
Another one of those affected by the "ages like a grandmother" syndrome, but total cockney awesome at any age.
02. Alan Rickman
I have of late, but wherefore I know not, acquired a thing for Alan Rickman. And I can't believe I just spent five minutes trying to decide if I should opt for a light-haired or dark-haired picture. Bonus very sexy voice.
01. Paul McGann
Like you didn't see this coming a mile off. I'll repeat myself: This guy is a voice artist. Bonus just about everything. Will almost certainly fall victim to the "ages like a grandmother" syndrome.
Honorary mentions, or those who were teetering on the edge: Young Tony Curtis, young Edward Woodward, young Knut Risan (like you've heard of him), Richard "the hamster" Hammond, Ioain Gruffud, Dylan Moran, and Greg Wise.
So in conclusion: Long eyelashes and manly chins. Britain: 7, USA: 2, France: 1.
And I tag... anyone who feels like making a smexy picspam. Like you need an excuse.
