Seriously .. let's discuss

Now I love a hot guy as much as the rest of you do. I have a finely tuned appreciation for a man's well-conditioned body. (that's bloggerese for hot bodies get me HAWT). Who am I to mock a man with a big johnson and a rock-hard set of buns? You must not know me very well. Commence mocking...

SERIOUSLY... what was dude thinking? Moreover, who painted that thing on him? Better yet, what the hell is that nutsack? Cheesecloth? On my horniest day, I would have to pass on this guy. By the way, if you don't know .. that horrendous mess under that costume is Heidi Klum's trainer.

This is what he looks like normally.
















Seriously, he is a decent looking guy. He couldn't think of ANYTHING else to dress as for Halloween? Something that wouldn't scare the hell out of small children, grandmothers, husky dogs, & drag queens? It's not really THAT hard. I found a few:

What about Hottie Scottie?

Or a barbarian?

Better yet... just get naked, take a guitar with you,

and you can be him. *sigh*

A girl can dream, can't she??!!

A few things that caught my eye today...

@colombiancoffee - who was crazy wise nice forgiving enough to let me post to @amrup.

@Shoq - for inspiring the political stirrings that have been dormant in me for a time.

For better or worse, you can thank blame these people for this little 'ol blog. I just wanted you all to know.

So You Think You Can Dance - Season 6!!!

It was genius... genius, I tell you. Whomever decided to do the Top 20 feature show, you RAWK! It is the perfect answer to the obvious disadvantage that the dancers have on the 1st performance/elimination round. That is, some dancers draw a style that is similar to their own, while other dancers pick ballroom when his/her style is krumping. Having this introductory show evens the playing field and gives a showcase to ALL the dancers. Brilliant.

Quickie recap:

• Opening number by Wade Robeson featuring the entire cast was a jazzy, hotness-filled number that was beautifully costumed and very well-danced. There were no weak links apparent in the cast.
• Hip-hop number featuring the 3 male dancers in this genre, who are quite different in style, was choreographed by Tabitha & Napoleon. The fellas tore up the stage!!!
  
• Tyce choreographed 4 of the contemporary dancers in an emotional piece. This was near perfection. Elegant, moving, technically on-point. Fantabulous.
• Next up, a cool moment for the show, the 3 tappers performed a piece by new choreographer Derrick Grant. Well-done, if not a bit less flashy.
• Sonya choreographed the 3 female jazz dancers in a cute, flirty, fun piece.
• The highlight of the show for me was Mandy Moore's contemporary piece. It was jaw-dropping. Technically-speaking, one of the most amazing ever on the show.
• The hottest moment was the final performance. Jason Gilkison choreographed a samba with the 2 female & lone male ballroom dancers. Great music choice, hot costumes, hotter choreography. Great way to end the show.
  

Soooooooo excited about this season. Starts tonight. wOOt!!!

Here's the top 20.
