My Short List

The topic of "short lists" has been brought up so many times over the past few weeks, from my uncle at Thanksgiving dinner (who had the oddest short list I had ever heard of) to a friend at Princess's birthday party. I figured it would be fun to update mine. I did it way back when and you can find it here, but I am not looking at it till after I get mine done so I can compare without cheating.

Ok, first and foremost, you do know what a short list is, don't you? Its the list of 5 people you can sleep with and your significant other cannot be angry in any way. Its like your get out of jail free card (which would actually come in handy for one of the guys on my list).

For those of you who used to read me before my hiatus, I know you expect Jon Bon Jovi to be at the top. But no. I have retired him. He is like an honorary member. I figure that I have lusted him from afar for 20 years now and it just hasn't happened, so he is being forced to vacate his spot. Now if I were to meet him and the opportunity were to present itself I would kick myself for tossing him, but oh well, I like to live dangerously.

Without further ado, here is my list (keeping in mind that I actually have a rotating list of 100 or so guys who move in and out of the list depending on my mood, so this is based on right this very minute).

1. Gerard Way of My Chemical Romance. He is my latest obsession and is just so damned pretty I can't even stand to look at him. But I can't stand not to look at him either. I love him with black hair, I love him with blonde hair, I don't really care. I just love troubled, dirty, scary rockstar boys. Although in my dreams he is taller than 5'9, since I am 5'8. This is from the concert I went to a few weeks back when I was thisclose to Gerard:


2. Billy Lane of Choppers, Inc. He is the one who needs the get out of jail free card, because he is facing 15 years in prison for manslaughter while drunk driving. Many thanks to my new friend CafeKym who kept me up to date about this even while I wasn't blogging. At least if he is in jail I won't have to worry about him banging strippers. Again, in my dreams he is taller than he is in real life (I think he is 5'10).



3. Jared Leto of 30 Seconds to Mars and various movies. No one has dreamier eyes than Jared. No one. He is prettier than most women. I have met him before and he was a little standoffish. But the last time I saw him he was very nice and friendly, even touching a young girl of 8 or 9 on the nose in a playful manner that had me swooning (see pic from the Buzz Bakesale concert, below). Won't he will make a great 2nd daddy to Princess. Again, he is probably the same height as me, but again, in my dreams he is 6'5.



4. Wentworth Miller of Prison Break. Do I think he is a good actor? No. Do I care? No. He has that brooding thing down pat and when they show him on Prison Break covered in tattoos its a religious experience. Patsy and I are going to share him (and Jared too actually). I think we determined she would have Wentworth first and I would have Jared first and then we'll switch. Sounds fair, I mean, what are friends for? I have no idea how tall he is.


5. Frank Iero from My Chemical Romance. Yes I know I am obsessed with My Chem, but I can't help it. Frank is really cute and I love the tattoos and how dirty he is. Alas, I think he is shorter than me. Where exactly are all the TALL, hot, dirty tattooed punk rock boys???


So who's on your short list????

Good list. I would have to think about mine I'm afraid though Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters would definitely be on it. For sure. I also liked Hugh Jackman as Wolverine despite the silly hairdo. I think it was the brooding dangerous thing...

Hope you had a good Christmas.

Can we do dead men? -- cause Elvis would top my list. Then it would have to be Sean Connery, George Clooney and ... and ... damn this getting old, I can't even think of any other attractive men who aren't young enough to be my child. And I'm not good at the Mrs. Robinson thing.

I udderly loved your comment!

Leto's eyes are totally dreamy and Wentworth Miller is certifiably hot. The brooding thing totally works for him (and me!)

My short list:
1) Chris Duhon
2) Kobe bryant
3) Shemar Moore
4) Alfonso Soriano
5) Terell Owens

...but like you mine rotates (other than the #1 spot, that always belongs to Duhon!)

Darn that Billy Lane. He's a fox, but I'm not big on convicts. Or drunk drivers. *sigh*

JM said...

Glad to see somebody else with a list, but it's so tough to get it down to five. I've got Nicole Kidman, Scarlett Johansson, Alyssa Milano, Christy Turnington, and Aria Giovanni all on the short list.

Michele sent me over, TJG.

I have no "short list" since I have no doubt but that my girlfriend would kill me for that particular infraction. However I must admit there's a few actresses that would be very nice to get to know. LOL I'll have to try to remember some names--not something I'm very good at.

Nicole Kidman
Julianne Moore

1) Ethan Hawke, circa 1993. Love love love him. He could tell me I look like a doily and i would swoon.

2) Wentworth Miller. Yum. That's all.

3) Milo Ventimiglia. From Heros. He was better when his hair was better, when he was playing a brooding 17 year old on Gilmore Girls. I think he is my height, which is terrible, cause I am hella short, but I will still take him.

4) That Irish guy who played the soccer coach in Bend it Like Beckham. He also played Elvis. He should be in more movies. Preferably naked.

5) Jared Leto. Right now.

The 4th and 5th spots are always the ones for those who rotate in -- sometimes I'm in a sentimental mood and add in John Cusack, though I'd rather date him than sleep with him, and sometimes Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, or Colin Farrell creep in. Sometimes I just like to leave the 5th spot empty for some hot guy on the street.

Whatever, at least my top 5 doesn't include any cartoons or their kids.
