Choosing a favorite is making me cry, little sister.
First of all, I'd like to thank Cindy for her wonderful go at guest posting last week. Not having grown up on "Star Trek", there is no way that I could have ever done justice in reaching out to Trekkies, a significant portion of the population! Cindy, we salute you, Vulcan style.
Now, the reason for my absence last week is that I was on a pilgrimage to Santa Cruz, California. For those not in the know, Santa Cruz is a veritable mecca for aging hippies, skater kids, and eccentric homeless. However, and more importantly, it was the location for the 80's masterpiece "The Lost Boys", perhaps the pinnacle of any hunk enthusiast's collection. Let's peruse, shall we?
Corey Haim |
My favo(u)rite Canadian-citizen-turned-Hollywood-teen-idol, and one half of the überpairing that was "The Coreys". Comedy, drama, dramady, Corey Haim could do it all. Here are some words that rhyme with Corey: Gory. Story. Allegory. Montessori. Music to my ears! |

Thanks to Corey Feldman, I never really got over my love of the mischievous heartbreaker, nor my love of a good 'n' feathered 80's mullet. He has a smaller mouth than Corey Haim, which leads me to believe that I could tell him my deepest and darkest secrets, and he'd never peep a word to anybody. Plus he's a Cancer, so he's a nester - someone with whom you could really build a home, you know?
Keep an eye out for him in the upcoming "Lost Boys 2: The Tribe"! |

While Corey Haim might be my favo(u)rite Canadian-citizen-turned-Hollywood-teen-idol, Kiefer Sutherland might just be my favo(u)rite Canadian-citizen-born-to-Donald-Sutherland-turned-Hollywood-actor. Need another reason to love him? "During the autumn of 2001, Sutherland unintentionally interrupted the filming of [...] The Lonely Island. [...T]he main characters develop an addiction to teeth whitener, and eventually mug an old woman to facilitate their addiction. Sutherland, driving by at the time, believed the mugging was real and jumped out of his car to intervene." My hero! Except for the DUIs. |

What is there to say about Jason Patric?
He was in "Speed 2: Cruise Control". And uh...he has pretty eyes? |

Though I didn't see any of the original actors or get abducted by vampires (though I did get verbally abused for not wearing green on St. Patrick's Day by no less than 3 different parties!), the trip to Santa Cruz was a resounding success, and I would highly recommend it to hunk aficionados, 80s fans, and civilians alike. Except for the bit about Laffing Sal, who is just straight up terrifying.
♥ Too good for this world!!! ♥
My faithful readers,
Yesterday was the most horrible day ever!! My cat, Mr. Sniffles, got tangled up in my crocheting and became so frightened that he knocked over my Hummel collection, breaking some of my most precious pieces. Then, my VCR ate the tape I was using to record "Guiding Light" so I didn't get to find out what happened between Alan and Natalia. Then, as I was trying to untangle the tape, my Snappy Mackerel Casserole burned to a fiery crisp in the oven!!!!
Yes, my dear readers, it's on days like this that all I really need is some time, love, and tenderness.
When life gets me down, I pop a couple of Edy's Dibs (chocolate, of course!!!), cuddle up in my Emmett Kelly commemorative blanket, and listen to Michael Bolton's Greatest Hits on repeat until I'm lulled into sweet sedation.
Since my mother bought me this album back in '95, I've worn my way through two copies and have no plans of slowing down!! Michael is the hunk of all hunks and has the voice of an angel. Sometimes I just close my eyes and dream of running my fingers through those perfect locks (they may be shorter these days, but they're still breathtaking!!!) as I imagine that he's singing just for me.
Even though yesterday I just wanted to give up and cry (especially when trying to glue my Hummel babies back together - shattered glass is no joke!), one verse of "When A Man Loves A Woman" had me back on my feet, smiling and slow-dancing around the house.
Thank you, Michael, for bringing meaning to my life. This Hunk Friday is dedicated to you.
♥
