My Big Post of Sexy Men

I have a thing for chivalrous men in suits smoking tobacco pipes with five o'clock shadows.

Sadly, most of these men only exist for me in movies of the past.

Why, oh why, can't I meet a suit-wearing, pipe-smoking, contained but scruffy five-o'clock-shadow-wearing, motorcycle riding, well-coifed man?

Maybe I'm too picky. *sigh*

Here are some men who fit this category beautifully for me.

ALEC BALDWIN

Oh baby, of course...the sexiest man in Hollywood, always wearing a suit! Gorgeous blue squinty eyes, jet black hair, a dark, soothing voice...the corporate man. So appealing to me for many, many reasons..

MARLON BRANDO

Old school Marlon Brando...so steamy! haha especially in "A Streetcar Named Desire." Unlike Alec Baldwin, Marlon gets uglier as he ages. No "Godfather" Brando for me! Brando is a brilliant actor - consistently portraying dark characters with a steamy anger. He is truly sexy.

Motorcycles...very sexy!

CLARK GABLE

Silently sexy in "It Happened One Night" Gable is always seen with a tobacco pipe, being firm in his words and actions with women, yet sympathetic and underlying caring. YES I can get that much from classic movie performances such as this one.

JAMES DEAN

No words needed. How I wish I lived back when all of these hottttttttttttttties were in their prime.

Smoking on top of his Porsche Roadster only adds to his sex appeal.

CARY GRANT

Where do I even begin? Cary is a bronze god. A professional, witty, light-hearted, mature bronze god.

Ladies and gentlemen, the picture above of Cary Grant is how I picture my "dream man" in my head. Take note. If the man in his exact form in this picture were to come up and talk to me, I would swoon...then faint. No picture can top this. Hey Cary, you have any sons?

HUMPHREY BOGART

There's just something really sexy about the mysteriousness of the way light hits a man with a hat, suit/long coat, and cigarette in a black and white photo.

STEVE MCQUEEN

Motorcycle-riding, chain-smoking, car-racing bad boy.

last but definitely not least.....

JACK NICHOLSON

I think that Jack Nicholson is a hair away from taking over Alec Baldwin's spot as sexiest man. Of course Jack is in his 70's now....but back in the 1970's and up he was a stud. Cigarette-smoking, motorcycle-riding, bad boy. His voice is smooth and sexy. The dark, twisted characters that he plays makes him all the more attractive. Man, I guess I really have a "bad boy" theme going on here - but he's perfect. His acting is brilliant...let's face it - dark, creepy characters are just more sexy to me than "surfer dudes." or nice guys.

Mhmm. No words needed.

An Ode to Alec

Feast your eyes on my favorite actor! He will be co-hosting the Academy Awards with Steve Martin on March 7th!

Not only is Alec Baldwin my favorite actor, but he is also, in my opinion, one of the most appealing men...for many, many reasons. Alec has been receiving a lot of criticism in the news lately, as he was recently hospitalized for a "misunderstanding" when his daughter misleadingly called 911, believing that Alec was going to take sleeping pills after an argument that the two had. Alec also recently made headlines for hassling and grabbing a photographer, as a group of them had flocked around the entrance of his home and were bothering him. Certainly not good press! If I were him, and got no privacy due to these photographers, I would be on my last nerve as well. I consider myself to be an extremely laid-back, carefree person..but that might very possibly change if I were consistently being followed, heckled, and photographed...ladies and gentlemen value their privacy! I know that I cherish my alone time.

Everyone's got a "little" crush on some celebrity..

So, here I am...defending my man Alec Baldwin, and stating some of the reasons why he will always be my celebrity crush - even though I knew something about this crush was odd when I told my grandma that I liked him and she replied: "Ohhh boy....I like him too," with a wink. haha! I'm guessing that my grandma and I shouldn't think the same guy is a cutie pie!

I like Alec because...

• he is a classic "man." He has always played roles as the big, powerful male character with a strong, overbearing personality. I like someone who has the strong verbal skills to sweet talk their way through something - and he does.
• witty - the sharp, biting remarks and insults thrown at Liz Lemon (Tina Fey) on 30 Rock get me laughing every time. The man can crack a joke and embarrass you before you even realize what has happened...and that it was about you.
• baby blue intense squinty eyes, tall, dark hair need I say more? His physical appearance fulfills my little girlhood crush by meeting every favorite trait of mine!
• I really, really..like the fact that he almost always plays a role in which he wears a suit. He usually plays the powerful corporate guy. Jack Donaghy in 30 Rock is quite possibly my favorite character portrayed by Alec. Although he is a man with a powerful job, he still maintains his biting sense of humor and humorous lack of sympathy for anyone showing weaknesses. I like that he isn't too mushy - he's very direct and forward, doesn't overtly show much emotion. Alec can be both serious and softly or sharply humorous several times within a conversation. Versatility as an actor is very important and very endearing.

• Of course young Alec Baldwin was better looking, but Popeater did an article on whether Alec was more appealing as a young, handsome thin man..or now, as an older-slightly graying, fatter, wittier man? I vote for the second one, honestly http://www.popeater.com/2009/12/14/alec-baldwin-sexiness/. I think he's aged quite gracefully. Whenever we pick boyfriends at young ages, don't we always wonder what that person would look like as an older person? I know we can't all look 18 for the rest of our lives...but if my husband were to age like Alec Baldwin? I'd be a happy wife!
• There are many reasons why I overly like Alec Baldwin ....but this is one of the main factors that drew my little self in! His voice. His eloquence of speech as the corporate character. The mysteriousness that lay below the deep, soothing gruff of his voice. It's a man's voice, and an intriguing one at that.

Here's a little video to end my embarrassing rant on some reasons why I will always have a huge crush on Alec Baldwin. It pretty much symbolizes all of the reasons gathered into one as to why I think he is a great, great man - who I will always support, even after he gets into fights with photographers or his daughter! Now, relax and listen to his softly authoritative voice! Anyone would be hard-pressed to find a similar quality in another actor, or person.

Man, I sound crazy, maybe I should have tried to stop liking Alec whenever I found out Grandma likes him too.....
