The Pretty Boys…
This weekend, I was so happy to meet Lady_Songbird and RedHairedCelt for the first time this weekend while we were featured authors at a Barnes and Nobles New and Local Authors book signing (although neither of us are exactly new and I’m technically the only local) but still it was exciting! GoJake, our friend and publisher, was also there and a good time was had by all. RedHairedCelt was particularly lucky with her short story collection, so I rubbed her belly, but it didn’t help me.
Anyway, we got to talking about our favorite Pretty Boys, you know, the kind of man that hearkens back to Elizabethan sensibilities, one who could almost be a girl. Here are my favorites:
1.
Orlando Bloom appears to have just stepped out of the pages of a Shakespearean play. He has a quality I find both delicate and rugged at the same time.2.
Johnny Depp has this haunted, soulful look in his eye with a glint of mischievousness behind it that has always appealed to me.3.
Hayden Christensen was both brilliant and wounded as Anakin Skywalker pre-Darth Vader. Ah yes…this soon into the list, my sci-fi/fantasy geekiness is already showing…4.
Milo Ventigmilia from the new NBC hit series, “Heroes” which if you haven’t checked out, you really should! Its one of the most interesting concepts that has been on television in quite some time. Save the Cheerleader…Save the World. He can rescue me anytime!5.
Elijah Woods has these otherworldly luminous blue eyes. And yes, he played Frodo. One ring to rule them all, one ring to bind them…6.
Brad Pitt, well, he’s sort of an obvious choice. I’ve always been somewhat irritated that he manages to have better hair than half the women I know…7.
Back to the show Heroes, Santiago Cabrera plays the man who paints the future. 8.
My first crush ever, Mark Hamill, a.k.a. Luke Skywalker. Now no jokes about lightsabers…9.
Brandon Routh, the new Superman. He did a fine job reprising the role that Christopher Reeve began. I hope to see more of him in that role.10.
Last but not least, Tobey Maguire tops off my Pretty Boy list. I have immensely enjoyed his first two turns as Peter Parker and his alter-ego Spiderman and I am looking forward to film #3 this summer.And shocked though some of you may be, my secret boyfriend, Jackson Browne, is not on this list. Technically, he is not what one could consider a Pretty Boy, so he will be saved for another time.

Jackson Browne is TOO PrettY!! Oooooh yes he is.
Great to meet you too! I’ll have to think about my list. Your numbers 1 and 2 are on mine too, right off the bat. Hmmmmmm must think . . .
Jan, it was fanfarkingtastic to finally be sitting with you and meeting you in the same space. I had the best time. Sorry about the belly rub though. Maybe next time.
*cracking knuckles* Ok, the challenge is well met. Going to MY list now.
Your pictures don’t show up for some reason, but your descriptions are better than the pics could be anyway!
Very good list, I’ll have to give the topic some thought and see if I can add to it….being that those are my favorite types.
Here’s mine!
