So thinking about a fantasy man today. I like the dark edgy hero with a certain vulnerable broken quality. Not surprising I never could pick a good man in real life. Oh but perhaps that is an oxymoron. LOL Cynical much? Not me. I think I do best sticking to fictional men.
In any event, ahem moving right along. How do you feel about body art? Yes Tattoo art? What is an eww and how much is too much?
Feast your eyes on these. .
This could define a good chest or highlight the weakness of a poor one.
What about subject matter of the tattoo. Old girlfriends names are a forbidden, goes without saying. Religious icons? Flowers? Really really big gold fish? At what point is it one tattoo too many?
I have friends who have fantastic blogs. So today I want to share a few of them with you. There is no particular order intended here. And No, this is not ALL of the great blogs my friends have. I’ll get around to revealing more as time goes on.
Today however her blog is about how her life is like a junk drawer. I’m with ya Sistah! Her blog struck my heart. Go visit her today and browse around the warriorwriters blog.
Another heart touching, thought provoking blog is by friend Jamie D. It’s called I’m Trying To Do Something. She writes about life from the heart and her family and the things that she thinks about. I love her words and the person that she is. Go visit.
Charlie Allden is a critique friend who gets my voice. She proved she was a smart girl when she created Smart Girls Sci Fi blog.
She started the blog to appeal to sci fi readers with reviews of multi media sci fi entertainment. You go Charlie! She is an awesome writer and has helped me learn things and grow in ways she may never realize. I’m still a little bird, not even quite out of the shell but I value her friendship and wise critique skills.
A collection of other critique friends did a similar thing with something they like thinking and talking about and that’s FOOD! Lisanne Harris and Abigail Sharpe put together a blog all about cooking and food. It is a great resource. Go visit Chicks In The Kitchen and check them out.
And a new friend Adrienne Wilder writes edgy urban romance fiction and you can find her worlds at The Atlanta Dens follow it through to her portrait/character portfolio because she is also an amazingly talented sketch artist.
I’ve decided she might be a kindred sister of separate mothers when I read her blog today about making a back yard water garden pond. She struck my funny bone and I’m still giggling about it. On first read, I laughed so hard and loud that office mates had to come see if I was alright. I guess they might have thought I was having a nervous break down or something. Cause work is so NOT funny right now. Go read it for yourself at her blog.

One of my favorite TV heroines is Abby on NCIS. The typical goth girl next door!
She is a wonderful three dimensional person. She bowls with the nuns, sleeps in a coffin and loves to main line her caffeine via soda pop.
What is not to love? She is the bomb.
Did I mention she is sexy hot as well?
And the best part she is such a cool science nerd! Bazinga!
I love Abby’s character, smart, witty, vunerable, nice, take no shit kinda girl. Some days she inspires me to be myself, without fear of judgement. And hey, we have the same hair color now!!!!
What do you think? Who is your favorite heroine from cinema or t.v.?
Today I will be driving back from the Mountains. It will take most of the day, so I share this vision of the modern Fantasy Man with you.
Today’s pleasure is Christian Bale.
I took the opportunity while I was away to try out a new Marilyn Monroe look with my hair. I began browsing through old profile pictures of myself. I realized that I have a great range of different looks. So does today’s Fantasy Man. How do you like Christian Bale? The corporate wise guy look above????
or… Perhaps a more rugged look. Do you go for facial hair on your fantasy man?
Are you a woman who likes a man with shorter hair or do perhaps you favor longer hair to run your fingers through.
Presidents Day and many of you are having a well deserved three day weekend. I however am chained to the desk of my day job wishing I was outside in the sunshine.
PRESIDENTS DAY
Is it less than tasteful to consider sensuality factor in the leader of the free world? Certainly there are points for charisma. Wiser minds than mine will have to ponder that philosophical line.
I failed to be inspired by any president living or dead for hotness factor in consideration of today’s traditional theme. I turned to actors who have portrayed President.
Bill Pullman in ‘Independence Day’ is probably on my top five list. Husky voice and can jump in a plane to shoot em up with the invading hoard.
And a close contender for sexy make believe president has to be actor, Harrison Ford. The exciting action adventure movie, ‘Air Force One’. He was kick ass bad in that role and the line “Get Off My Plane! Great dialogue. What else was there to say!
What would be my pick for president. Hummm Yes it would have to be some post apocalyptic zombie thing? The president could make an impassioned speech and then grab a semi-automatic monster sized gun and blaze a trail through the zombies.
Sunday night as I prepare this blog for Monday the world as I know it is watching the Super Bowl. I live in a rural county where the standing joke is Jesus won’t return on a Friday night cause in this town foot ball is God and Fridays the masses worship high school foot ball.
Two Fantasy Men rose above the pack as The Steelers Faced the Packers. The leaders of the team. The revered Quarterbacks.
Aaron Rodgers, quarter back for the Packers
Battled against
Pittsburg Steelers Quarterback
Ben Roethlisberger
The age old battle between football teams. Many people have compared ancient warriors to the modern football players of today. I guess my brain can make the leap and see it. Warriors battling it out over territory… But then I Hear Andy Williams and his deep country drawl saying…. “What it was was foot ball.”… and I crack up.
The fans are rather passionate about their love of the game.
Okay so, I will admit to being rather clueless about the whole thing. But, hey, don’t judge me. I cheered Tbow through season after season of Gator football.
My middle child was born on Ground Hog day 21 years ago today. She is an amazing person. She is talented and gracious. She will graduate with her associates degree this spring. She wants to pursue a career in counseling therapy.
I won’t go on and on because I have the pride in her that every parent has in their off spring. Well, that will be what you tell yourselves. However, I would find her amazing even if she wasn’t my child.
I didn’t say perfect…. I said amazing.
She works summers as camp staff shepherding children between the ages of 8 and 13 and teen Counselors ages 14 to 18 years old. She teaches archery and waterfront safety, swimming…all kinds of stuff.
Wikipedia says of her name:
” ‘Sabra’ (Hebrew: צבר, pronounced tsabar; ṣabra ) is a term used to describe a Jewish person born in Israeli territory; the term is also usually inclusive of Jews born during the period of the establishment of the state of Israel.
[1] The word sabra derived from the Hebrew name for the Indian Fig Opuntia cactus, “tzabar”, and related to the Arabic word sabr which means “aloe” or “cactus” or “patience”.[2] the allusion is to a tenacious, thorny desert plant with a thick hide that conceals a sweet, softer interior, suggesting that even though the Israeli Sabra are rough and masculine on the outside, they are delicate and sensitive on the inside. In the United States, this cactus variety is known as the Prickly Pear.”
Sabra hummus is a real treat. I wish my Sabra owned controlling stock.
My Sabra is single, intelligent and happy. she is self determined and able to handle almost anything. Yes, she can even use power tools. So she is my Wednesday Heroine. She doesn’t need a man to complete her…she is whole and healthy without a man in her life. However, she does boycott Valentines day for obvious reasons.
Yet, I know that she is going to be inspiration for one kick ass heroine someday soon. And, in the end My Heroine will find a man that will value her own unique qualities, love her, cherish her and give her the freedom to continue to be that self determined capable young woman.
I could only hope for a similar happily-ever-after for the real Sabra.
Here we are so quickly back to Monday. Round and Round the days of the week, seasons turn and turn and another year is gone.
I’ve done a lot of soul searching the last few months. It is no secret that I have had my share of medical adventures in the past five years. I some days feel like I am waking up from a deep fog. Sleeping Beauty ain’t got nuthin over on me. lol
As our seasons turn and revolve, I believe Eden will be coming out of her sleep and reaching for her own dreams and ambitions for the future. Query Query Query Here I come.
But for now…Fantasy Man Monday!
This past Saturday night I attended the Golden 29th Birthday Bash for Adam Lambert at LeBuzz in Atlanta.
I have a whole new appreciation for the power of Fandom! There were 63 identified Adam Lambert Fans… “Glamberts” mostly members of his official fan club who organized and attended the gala event. Add that to the regular customers and you have a wild crazy blow out. The place was packed to capacity.
Okay…why Adam on Fantasy Man Monday? Hello people…FANTASY – MAN – Monday! It’s fun, it’s fantasy. It is not REAL.
And yes, well, he is openly gay.
But he is admittedly, “Bi-curious”, and judging from the crowd at LeBuzz he is the Fantasy, heart throb of MANY.
Saturday night at least 53 of the 60 some odd fans were straight women packed into a rockin gay club for the night. The ‘drag queen’ show was AMAZING. I have a whole new level of appreciation for that as a performance “art”. However, that is another blog for another day.
There is a reason Adam’s AMA performance video went viral on U-Tube. It brought fantasy performance art to a whole new level. Yes, I am with the side that says ….”if you are offended by sexuality…then be offended by ALL sexuality.” and “What is your seven year old doing up watching the AMA performances at 11p.m. anyway?”
I would love to post the link for you but it has been removed.
However, check out this video of “For Your Entertainment.” for a thrill. Fantasy Performance with a sexual edge.
Adam Lambert “For Your Entertainment”
(*aside* Am I the only one who finds it intensely amusing that the advertisement tacked to this VEVO video is for the Army? lol Don’t Ask Don’t Tell. *chuckles*)
And yet in the middle of this love and happiness there are still occasions where youth are bullied as they find their own pathway into their lives, sexuality and the people they strive to be.
So, go my friends…Spread the word. Fantasy is healthy, sexuality is healthy. Live, love, laugh and find joy in all that you do. Infuse those around you with positive energy, so that perhaps there will be less room for hate just because someone is different.
And for my erotic writer friends who are worried when they give rein to their fantasies of ‘what would grandma be thinking?’ looking over their shoulder. Go for it baby. Grandma would secretly be thrilled…and so would Grandpa.
Someone reminded me of the thought, don’t judge until you walk a mile in someone else’s shoes. Which led me to thoughts of shoes. It is no secret that I really love shoes. I do have lots of shoes. They must be comfortable. That is the supreme rule one.
I’ve gotten a couple new pair of shoes this fall. During Black Friday shopping I found a pair a suede over the knee, high heeled boots. they are awesome and meet rule one perfectly. Just recently I bought a pair of short calf high heels. Again, rule one first and fantastic boots. www.youravon.com/kheinz to take a look at the wild shoes that Avon has available. Just follow the link shop my store and then put shoes in the search window. amazing!
I remember awhile back finding a blog that did a photo journalist review of a writers conference by taking pictures of participants shoes. It was hysterically funny. I can’t find the link now and it may have been several years ago. If anyone remembers it chime in so we can enjoy it again together.
This would give Cinderella pause
The glass shoe below comes from a blog on strange shoes.
Isn’t this one pretty? Probably doesn’t adhere to rule number one.
