Friday Eye Candy–Melanie’s List

You all guessed correctly last week–gorgeous Australians.  I really thought I may have stumped you.  ;)

If you are new to my blog, you may not be aware of the fact that I like to take suggestions of lists from my readers.  That way I’m not constantly putting up pictures of Ryan Gosling, James McAvoy and Leonardo DiCaprio every week (my list).  All I ask is that you try to narrow your list down to 5-7 guys (10 at the most).  The idea is the “laminated list”–the list of celebrities that you are allowed a free pass by your significant other if you were given the opportunity to get to know a little better (i.e….well you know what I mean).

This week I’m excited to bring you a list from Melanie of Smelly Ann Strikes Again.  Her list first started out at 17 guys, but she was kind enough to narrow it down to these seven hotties.  As always, I’m leaving the comments that go along with the picks.

Enjoy!  Don’t forget to go over to Melanie’s blog to say hi. 

-Matt Damon - he’s my #1, I loooove him

-Josh Duhamel

-James Marsden

-Mark Consuelos - thought he was cute since long, long before Ripa was on Regis

-Denzel Washington - hello!

-Shemar Moore

-Lenny Kravitz - so sexy

 Here are the guys who didn’t quite make the cut but definitely deserve an honorable mention on Melanie’s list:

  • Will Smith - now, not back in the Fresh Prince days!
  • Ryan Gosling ;)
  • David Hyde Pierce (I know! I think he’s cute)
  • Kelsey Grammar (I know! I think he’s cute)
  • Tom Hanks - had a thing for him since Splash
  • Harrison Ford - despite the earring
  • Omar Epps
  • Mekhi Phifer
  • Gary Dourdan
  • Pierce Bosnan - even though he can’t sing! :D

This week’s Aloha Friday question:

If you could share a dance with any of the guys on Melanie’s list, who would you pick and what kind of dance would it be (swing, waltz, salsa, basic slow dance, sexy club dancing, or something else)?  You can choose the guys photographed or the ones in the honorable mention list.

Just to let you know, my blog may be down this weekend.  I’m in the process of switching over to a new webhost.  Hopefully, I’ll get everything up and running by Monday and I may have a giveaway in store so stay tuned for that.

If you would like to see your list of guys featured on Friday Eye Candy or if you have an idea for a theme, please feel free to send email me—dailymishmash (at) gmail (dot) com

I always love to see who makes your list!

Have a great weekend!!!

Matt Damon’s Worst Nightmare

Remember a few weeks ago when Matt Damon voiced his concerns about Sarah Palin?  He said her nomination for vice president was like “a really bad Disney movie.”  

Well, someone took the bait and made this video.  I think even Palin supporters will be able to see the humor in this.  It is pretty funny, but it would have been so much better with Tina Fey in the Palin role. 

Enjoy:

Thanks to Jen for passing this little gem along to me.

Friday Eye Candy: Amy’s Picks

Before I get to this week’s eye candy, I must take a moment to thank a few people for the amazing work they have done with my blog.  Did you notice my new design? 

I am so thrilled with the way it turned out.  If you are ever in need of a blog makeover, you will definitely want to contact Beth or Christy at Ruby and Roja Design.  I worked with Beth and she was just so incredibly helpful and great at what she does.  The level of service I received was top notch and I couldn’t be happier with the final product.  Thanks so much, Beth!

Beth recommended Heather from Desperately Seeking Wordpress to get the new layout installed to a 3 column blog.  Once again, I was not disappointed with how easy everything worked out.  In the past, I have wasted precious Gos-Stalking hours trying to figure out WordPress and its mysterious code, so it was fantastic to be able to have someone else take care of all that craziness.   Heather is a WordPress wizard and I am very thankful to have worked with her. 

_________________________________________________________________________________________________

Ok, enough staring at the pretty new blog.  We need to focus, people!  Today is Friday, so you know what that means.  It is time for our weekly dose of Eye Candy.  

This week, I am pleased to present Amy’s list to you.  All I can say is Y-U-M-M-Y!!  Enjoy!  

Chad Michael Murray–Well, you know Amy has to have a One Tree Hill guy on here.  In addition to her Permission to Peruse blog, she also has a great blog devoted to the hit tv show. 

Chris Daughtry


Enrique Iglesias

Matthew McConaughey

 

Vin Diesel

Matt Damon

Brad Pitt (Note from Amy:  I hate putting this one on here because it’s so predictable, but he’s so pretty)


Patrick Dempsey  (Note from Jen:  I just can’t believe it has taken this long to have McDreamy on a Friday Eye Candy post.  I’m really looking forward to the return of Grey’s Anatomy.  It has been way too long since I’ve last looked into those beautiful blue eyes!)

 

This week’s Aloha Friday question is a two-parter. I’d like you to focus on the guys on Amy’s list. 

1.  If you were on a long flight (in first class, because it is a fantasy so why not, right?) who would you most want to be sitting next to? 

2.  If you were to be accidentally locked in an airplane bathroom (and happened to be inclined to join the mile high club), which guy from the above list would be your first choice. 

You may pick the same guy for both questions or pick one for each.  It is your choice.  However, you must choose someone from Amy’s list.  Leave me a comment and let me know who you choose and why.  Then hop over to Amy’s blog to say hi!

Friday Eye Candy: Tonya’s Picks

Today’s picks come from one of my oldest and closest friends, Tonya.  I blogged about her here.

We have always been alike in so many ways.  I think of her as my female soulmate, if there is such a thing because we have so many similarities.  She even puts pictures of her cute celebrity guys in her laundry room to brighten her mood as she goes through the endless cycle of sorting, washing, drying and folding.  If that isn’t a brilliant idea, I don’t know what is.

Then she went and sent me her Friday Eye Candy list and I just don’t even know what to say. Her top picks are so completely and utterly different from anything I would ever choose.  She tends to go for the bad boy type.  Me, not so much. 

I thought it would be fun to do a little comparison:

Tonya’s #1 Pick:                                                             Jen’s #1 Pick:

                                    

Tito Ortiz, UFC, dates porn star                                       Ryan Gosling , actor, dates sweetheart    

                                        

 

Tonya’s Favorite Reality TV Judge:                                               Jen’s Favorite Reality Judge:

                                                        

Napoleon D’Umo                                                                         Piers Morgan

Judge on So You Think You Can Dance                                       Judge on America’s Got Talent

(Note to Carol and everyone else:  Please don’t stop reading because Piers Morgan made it to Friday Eye Candy.  I know, I know, but I just had to do it.  I just find him so irresistable with his snooty accent and condescending attitude.  He’s my kind of bad boy.) 

And here is the rest of Tonya’s list (I guess since I agree with a few of these, we can keep being BFFs):

Uriah Faber

 

 

Matt Damon

 

Justin Timberlake

 

Channing Tatum (I don’t know you but I’d like to.)

 

Who are your your favorite “bad boys”?  Leave me a comment and let me know.  I’ll make a compilation of your answwers in the upcoming weeks.

13 Things That Are Really Plucking My Nerves This Week

1.  Coke Zero in a two liter bottle.  For some random reason, my husband decided to buy a few bottles of two liter Coke Zero in place of our usual  fridge-friendly 12 pack.  First day–delicious!  Next day–flat and yucky.   So, now that we are working on our second bottle I’m feeling compelled to consume the whole damn thing so as not to waste the bubbly goodness. 

2.  Urinary Tract Infections.  Maybe if I drank more water instead of the aforementioned Coke Zero, I would not get them as much.  But I figure if Coke can clean corrosion from your car battery, it sure as heck should be able to wash away bacteria in my bladder.  Doesn’t this seem like a good scientific theory?  No, I didn’t think so either.

3.  Giving Kids Homework at Vacation Bible School.  Seriously??!!   Look, I’m not trying to be ungrateful or anything.  I know that you all don’t get paid for all the work that is put into what you do.  I do appreciate the almost 3 hour break from my kids (not to mention all the cool crafts you are doing with them while at the same time teaching them about God and stuff) but I do think having homework is a bit much.  Come on now.

4.  My 3 month old computer freezing up.   Ok, Mr. Laptop, I know that  I’m working on Friday’s Eye Candy and it is just too much hotness for one computer to handle, but you are seriously getting on my nerves.

5.  Clutter.  This does not need an explanation. 

6.  Gas Prices.  Again no explanation needed. Well, actually I will add one thing to this.  Did you hear about the kids who are protesting the gas prices because their parents had to cut something out of the budget to afford to live and they chose cable tv.  Having to give up Sponge Bob would drive my kids to take extreme measures too.  I find this story funny but also inspiring.  Good for them for trying to take a stand!   We should all be protesting because this is getting out of hand. 

7.  Cats who are always begging for my food.  See that bowl behind you.  The one with all the food in it.  That is yours.  This chicken soft taco is mine.  And you can take your pathetic look and meowing over to the big oil corporations because with the price of gas being so high, I can not afford to give you scraps anymore.  Sorry.  Maybe you should make up little signs and protest at the gas station like the kids who lost their cable.  

 

 

8.  People burning things.  My neighbors behind us are pyromaniacs I think.  They are constantly having a bonfire and the smell of the smoke on a nightly basis is enough to drive me mad.  I’ve tried calling the police but I guess they are above the law because they just keep doing it.

9.  Matt Damon not looking like the Sexiest Man Alive in this picture.  I know it is for a movie, but there really should be laws prohibiting this sort of thing: 

10.  Ben Affleck.  He really hasn’t done anything to annoy me this week, but he just always rubs me the wrong way. 

11.  Moms in skimpy bikinis frolicking around with their toddlers on the beach.  My husband, on the other hand, loved this and couldn’t seem to take his eyes off of them.  I think he was just waiting patiently for something to pop out. 

12. Having to pay for new lenses for my son’s glasses (that I already spent $300 on so they would be supposedly scratch resistant in the first place) Maybe they wouldn’t have gotten scratched at the beach if the aforementioned husband wasn’t so busy looking at the bikini girls and paid more attention to where he put the glasses.

13.  Summer TV.  Between Celebrity Circus, Wipe Out and I Survived a Japanese Game Show, I’m avoiding the tv altogether.  My kids, on the other hand are loving every mind rotting minute of it.
