Frivolity

I was tagged to come up with a list of folks I wouldn't toss out of bed, such as Jude Law or Boyd Holbrook. This, you must admit, is a rather tenuous position for someone of my advancing age to lay claim to. I mean, to say that I'd be interested in purely physical things with, say, the actress Keira Knightley or the musician Loreena McKennitt, or even the little known actors Francisco Bosch (Bagoas) or Stefano Dionisi (Farinelli) might send you all into paroxisms of horror. You might allow me to indulge, however, in celebrities more my own age, such as Smokey Robinson, with those green eyes. But you may cringe when I mention the very young blues musician, Jonny Lang. Still, I doubt that you'd find it surprising to see other models or actors included in the list, such as Hugh Dancy or Jonathan Rhys-Meyer. Or even the athlete David Beckham. Still, if we want to think locally while acting globally, maybe we'd all put adamasoda on the list.

However, to make such a list would be odd, don't you think?

And not only is Jonny Lang cute, the boy can sing: Lie To Me (link active for 1 week).

Mmmm, that is one sexy post! Though I confess in the course of clicking links I sort of lost track of what you were talking about....

Age doesn't stop us appreciating beauty, both male and female, though does it? If I were to think of such a list most of the above mentioned people would be on it except Keira Knightley - too thin, but Rachel Weisz...now there is a beautiful woman.

I will always have a soft spot for David Beckham because he took the time to write back to my class a couple of years ago. We were looking at insulation, not a particularly fascinating subject for your average 8 year old, so I put the investigation in a semi real life context and told them that Versace wanted help designing new winter jackets for Posh and Becks.

He needed to know which material would be the best thing to line said jackets with and what, in their opinion, would make a well designed jacket. Once the investigation was completed and designs drawn I sent a selection of them to Manchester United, never expecting to hear anything back. Two weeks later David answered, sent autographs and even commented on what he liked about the designs. What a lovely bloke. Sorry for hijacking your journal with this little tale of a kind hearted celeb'.

Oh Jonny Lang is awesome, I wouldn't cringe when you mention him, at least you're not saying Aaron Carter, which I find rather wrong, or even Jesse McCartney. Jonny Lang has great talent and an awesome voice, besides, I think that looks is just a part of what makes a person attractive. As [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] said earlier, age doesn't really a huge part when you're appreciating someone's beauty.

I don't think it's strange. I was talking to B. about this other day (giving him a highly edited version of encountering dreamteen!Harry in an interview) and he said he met women like that, but it was a bit like reading a magazine or window-shopping, with no intention of buying. Aesthetic appreciation, in a fantasy dimension.

Having said that, one of my favourite lyrics evah is the shivery line in the song 'Jacqueline' by Franz Ferdinand, which is partly about a much older man fancying a very young woman, and the woman realising and being horrified:

"sometimes those eyes forget the face they're peering from".

Jonny Lang is lovely. You're tempting me to post, so I can go looking..

Fabulous list, with photos even!! I can't say that I argue with a single one of your selections. I don't think I've seen a picture of Jonny Lang before, so many, many thanks for that :)

And no, it's not odd to, um, admire the beauty of those younger than yourself. Technically I may be 38, but I've begun to realize that there are certain parts in the brain and heart that don't age at all :D

Francisco Bosch is completely breathtaking. Who is he? Also I really, reallyreally can feel the Boyd!Love.

I should do this meme. I have a laundry list, and they're not all over forty.

some of them are,though.
