It never gets old. The only thing that would be better was if he were actually in it! He seems to have the sense of humor that he would love this skit and do it.

Watched this amazing 5 season NETFLIX series twice. Set in the late 9th century England before it became a united country. Highly recommended.

It would be too hard to choose between Vikings' Travis Fimmel and The Last Kingdom's Alexander Dreymon, so I picked a football player instead!

My other crush is Nestor Carbonell. I haven't admitted that to SO as of yet.


I'll try to get some images posted of both when I'm not so busy.

Fans were asking if he wore eyeliner because of his natural eyelined eyes.

The makeup department on that show had to try to hide his natural and prominent eyes. Luckily, I don't believe that the makeup department was successful.

The podcast, Armchair Expert, has made me a better human. Dax is an honors graduate from UCLA. He's married to actress Kristen Bell and has two daughters. I feel like I know him.

He's a recovering addict/alcoholic and has a level of compassion, depth, and emotional intelligence that is uncommon. I adore him.

77. David Wenham

Jan 2023



Discovered this versatile actor when I watched the movie, 300. In a film chock full of buff, half-dressed men, my eyes went immediately to his red-headed self--despite the film's de-saturated color tones.

Growing up with dark, olive-skinned brothers, I always had a thing for blonds. (Redheads came later.) Starsky or Hutch? Duh. Hutch, of course. But when hanging out at my blond boyfriend's house, I saw a poster of Paul Michael Glaser on his sister's bedroom door. "What's wrong with her?", I thought. "Everyone knows that David Soul is the cute one." Then, I glanced at my blond, green-eyed boyfriend and thought, "Oh, I get it now."

Long ago I figured out that most of my crushes on actors were really attraction to the characters that they played. The problem with David Wenham is that even when he convincingly plays horrible people, I still find him attractive. Ahh! It makes me hate myself!

Speaking of celebrity crushes--and this goes out the the straight folk-- according to Ben Chang, a character on the NBC sit-com, Community, everyone has a same-sex celebrity crush. (Maybe gay people have an opposite-sex celebrity crush? Like Rosie O'Donnell's love of Tom Cruise?)

So, who is your exception-to-the-rule celebrity crush? Mind is Catherine Oxenburg. Even without a penis, I can't seem to get enough of those cool, blonde looks.

The woman is an absolute goddess. Taylor Hackford is one lucky sumbitch. Helen is proof-positive that people can still continue to be sexual beings long after they've stopped being young. She validates my life-long attraction to older women. She's one-of-a-kind...
