    To each his or her own! I don’t pretend to know what’s hot, I’m just statin’ my opinion. But you can’t deny that some of these dudes have sex appeal…Gael Garcia Bernal? Javier Bardem? David Duchovny?

    Sorry for the Baryshnikov confusion, my bad! I am bad with simple subtraction of dates, clearly. I replaced it with Pierce Brosnan, who is still a sexy piece.

    Oh no I fucked up! Baryshnikov is totally 61. Thank you kind anonymous person! Just goes to show I get confused calculating dozens of ages from birth years in a row.

    yo clive owen is to die for. did i tell you that i have clive owen beer goggles? it’s true. and it’s very dangerous. after a couple of drinks, i end up thinking that at least one person in my vicinity looks “exactly like clive!”

    If you’re wondering where Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp, George Clooney, and the like are…well, I figure that’s old news. These are guys I personally find attractive for various reasons, not just the most popular celebs.
