Lust: In Honor of Boyd K Packer

First, I'm totally disappointed that I couldn't watch Conference now that I'm hearing all the bullshit. Maybe it's a good thing, though. I can only take so much and it seems the breath-ren are doling it out in spades.

So I started this last night and felt a bit hesitant to post it. But you know, following Boy-I'd-love-to-Kick-Packer's talk, I thought I should post about people I've lusted after over the years to one degree or another. Men and women. So suck on that, asshole. It's not a fucking choice who you're attracted to.

But you know that.

Wink.

Yes, I know. "But it totally is who you choose to be with."

Happiness is only a choice insofar as you are happy with your choice, motherfucker. But this isn't about happiness, is it?

Anyway.

You should know this: I have always had a weird thing for blonde men (dammit, spell check! it is spelled BLONDE). It's something I didn't realize until a few years ago. I've dated men with dark brown hair, but in the end it's the blonde boys. It always confused me that I ended up marrying a man with dark brown hair...until I discovered he had blonde hair as a kid. SO CUTE.

So here are my progression of celebrity loves. I don't understand one or two of them, but y'know. Kids.

Brad Pitt, Circa 1995...ish.

Good, god! What was I thinking? He's so much sexier now. EVEN THEN when he had short hair. And I'm not even thinking about his character, I mean, who gives a fuck, right? Well, haha. Anyways. There were many other great pics of him before and after this time, but I had a pic more similar to this one up on my wall. He had dreads, though. I don't get it.

Maybe it was the hair color. STILL!

But shiiit. Brad and Angelina?

Are you kidding me?

I know many straight women who'd totally hit that, let alone bisexual women. I would. Though I hear the kids these days get all hot and bothered over Megan Fox. But, y'know, I'm already taken by Angie here. The pout! Good god!


So, then there's Jordan Catalano...er, whatshisname. Who cares.

Oh! My 14-year-old self swoons!


Then of course, there's Mr. Depp:

I don't think much of Johnny now, but he was my 8th grade research project (1994?). Look at that face! He's all gaunt now. :(


More recent:
Jaammmes. You were the only hot thing about Twilight, and while I realize that's not saying much, I'm still saying it.

He is a little pasty, though. Not really my thing. But I suppose that's what you get with blonde boys.


Alexander. Yes, I would call you that. But Eric works, too. Obvs. Then again, we don't have to talk. Just make noises.

I don't know what it is about this man, but my god. He is a little on the skinny side for me, but his eyes. The way he growls. My god.


There are and have been others throughout the years. I've already brought up Angelina.

Tori Amos, anyone?


omg. Do any of you know how amazing this woman is? I've loved her since...well, around 1995, if not slightly earlier. A guy who hung out at my stepdad's shop introduced me to Tori. He had a big thing for her and soon I was just--you know, like you look up to your big, super-cool sister. I think. Not entirely sure. But she is the reason I love female red heads. They are something fiercely awesome.

(yesyes I know she isn't a natural ginger, but whatever. it works well for her)

Anyway, first girl crush--though I kind of hesitate to say even that. It must have been some kind of attraction, because I was at the same period of time a HUUUUGE Alanis Morissette fan (had my own semi-successful website), but I wasn't, like, all over Alanis either. I don't know what the distinction is. Tori taught me a bit about sexuality--my own and of others--what was okay, whatever. Fucking amazing music. If you haven't heard her, lemme know. I've plenty to recommend.

Also, while we've got Alexander Skarsgard on the mind:

I didn't know she used to be a brunette! (you have to look 'em up. this was a pic i liked the most and thought most people would recognize)

So pretty. I don't know what I think of her acting in True Blood, but there *is* something about the gap in her front teeth. I didn't like it much at first, but it's cute.

ONE MORE.

Evanescence's Amy Lee (quick aside: I DID NOT KNOW about the eyebrow piercing! Woo!)

But seriously--gorgeous. And awesome. Did you see her eyes?

I love eyes.

And pouts. Jesus.
