The Sexiest Man Living Is Right Here On Open Salon

Rate: 10 Flag


They say a picture is worth a thousand words...

I'd just add Hubba Hubba. And suggest that most of what you'll read below about my hubba hubbie applies to Lonnie too.


MY MAN IS THE SEXIEST

Speaking of hubbies, mine doesn't like me to show him online, so here's the best I can do. (Taken about the same time Lonnie's was, on a different coast. They've both aged equally well).

I dare anyone to tell me my man ain't sexy, even blurred.

I've described him in different ways in many posts, so I'll just add a few less than a thousand words here: warm, witty, wise, loving, gentle, compassionate, charming, curious, intelligent, brave, hard working, family first, great father, dear friend, creative, stupendous lover, equally stupendous cook, kind and patient son-in-law, roses for no reason, mouse and spider killer, handy with shelves, bricks, spackle, paint, toilets, electrical things, cars and even bracelet clasps, sincere and spontaneous compliments, fun as well as genuinely funny, honest, honorable, generous, open, accepting and last but not least, big time cat lover. And, when the spirit moves, does a great immitation of a chest-beating He Man Woman Hater).

 (Oh, I'm not supposed to tell this, but you won't say anything, right? He watches chick flicks and old fashioned bosom-heavers with me and cries. Plus, his two favorite movies are West Side Story and The Godfather.)


Otherwise, IMHO, though there can be some crossover, sexy means different things to different people, generations and genders.

Celebrities who do it for me?

Chris Noth - Yale Drama School, rugged and funny, big turn on.

or...

Antonio Bandaras - what could I possibly add to this...

Sally! Seriously, your man has these two amatures beat! By a long shot!!! What the "f---" are you doing messing around on this site when you could be tangled up with your man tramp?!?!? Go get him! I am bad. There is no doubt, but you are ripping off a big piece of heaven, there, girl!!! Take if from an older, wiser broad!
Sally, you're right. I have to admit and it's easy too. Yeah, he's sexy, blurred, clear or otherwise. Yeah, you're right, we have the same taste for sure.
Oh God...I love you guys...but I can't wait for this open call to be OVER.
your man is wearing the heck out of those jeans....
I've added your Renaissance Man to my list of now 12 tributes to OS hubbies and BFs in the comments under My Sexy Bionic Man post. Paws up.
Leave it to Sandra to point out the one thing I didn't brag about, and uh, no socks were used in the making of that picture...

Cathy, I have to come up for air every once in a while, right? I'm an older, wiser broad too, he's younger than I am. So I pace him, kinda like a racehorse.

Mary, duh. ;)

Um, Glenn, don't look at us, KERRY started this!

DogWoman, I forgot a couple very important attributes, added now.

Everybody: Hello?? What about my top nominee: LONNIE?? Let's hear it for bodatious buns!
Upon further review, bring back the tank top.
I'll give you the first two (fine butt and FINE 'fro) but Big? Never did it for me. I never really got what Carrie found so unbelievably appealing about him.

I liked the Russian (Barishnakov) way better.
Well, I DO love you, Sal-gal. I actually read this post twice, thought seriously of commenting on it.

But in the end, I thought that since it was about the sexy man alive, and it wasn't about me (I've been hanging out with Freaky, can you tell?) I figured I wouldn't have anything to add. I mean, maybe your hubby IS the sexiest man alive. I wouldn't know, I don't look at guys that way.

Although, I have to admit Lonnie has a fine ass. :-D

Thumbed. I would have thumbed and not commented, but I did want you to know I came by.
Leigh, what can I say, Mr Big rings my bell, has done so since Law and Order, so it's not about SATC, it's his overall persona, intelligence and humor.

Tom, who should be wearing the tank top? And do you feel Lonnie should don a thong?

Bill, ignore the pictures and read the words about what I find sexy. I am most definitely not alone in my choices. They fit you too and matter much more than the double six-pack the hubby has now. Though still as fine an ass as Lonnie.
Your handsome man has a little Tom Jones vibe to him, at least in that photo. Once while working at the Summer Pops in downtown San Diego, I waited on the Champagne Section down right in front of Tommy Boy. I had dreaded the shift but the man made a liar out of me. He was great, one of the best shows I had ever seen. I have a feeling your man has it head and shoulders (and whatever else you want to put up there) above TJ. He snagged you, didn't he?
Sally! Your taste in men is perfect. Nice hubby. Lucky lady. My sweet husband is without a doubt my idea of the sexiest man alive. The first time he saw me naked he said: Wow, so that's what a REAL woman looks like. (Just goes to show...there is someone for everyone) Zing! I'm his for eternity.
Lauren, there's a resemblance, perhaps a vibe hit me without my knowledge because I had a huge crush on TJ in college.

Gracielou (is it Freebush?), you got it right. From day 1 and now after 26 years of marriage, he still thinks I'm sexy as hell. Who could argue with that?
Gracielou is my ever lovin' dog child's name. You'll never guess what my name is really! That's right, Sally, it's Sally! No kiddin'. Not too many of us around. Are you a Sarah, Sara, or a Sally on your birth certificate?
Hey, you didn't say anything about gray-haired bald guys. WTF?
Steve, there's a whole 'nother thread on OS dedicated to bald guys. I don't remember whose...but I found it and commented on it. Bald rocks.
And, um, Sally - your wifely ardor has perhaps lent my comment a tone that wasn't quite intended. While I hope this takes nothing away from your hubby, I only meant to compliment him on his fitness. I'm a legs gal. I like fit skinny dudes in jeans. It didn't occur to me that my compliment could come across so suggestively - it's not the kind of thing that, if I thought, I'd be apt to say in such a public space. ;-)
They fit you too and matter much more than the double six-pack the hubby has now.

Ah, well, see I have this rather subjective view of myself, so thanks for the compliment. I will admit, however, to also liking West Side Story and The Godfather. :-D
Gracilou, I am in truth a Sarah, but only on legal documents. Even in Israel, where I am legally Sora Leah, everybody calls me Sally, though it doesn't exist in the Hebrew language. Are you good ole Sally or do you have a grander one too?

Steve, gray-haired bald guys are too hawt for this contest. They'd blow the field away. I'll be happy to nominate you regardless, but it will require an audition.

Sandra, please forgive me. I have in fact heard that comment in the context I thought you meant every. single. time. someone has seen the real picture in our house. So, well, I was mislead. I am also a dork. And I apologize. (I really should apologize to myself too, jeez).

But Bill, I have to know, do you guy when Tony dies at the end of WSS?
Um, Bill? I meant to say do you CRY at the end. What a freakin freudian slip...
No, Sally, I don't "guy" when Tony gets it. :-D
Don't recall if I cried the first time I saw it. Might have.

*looks around to see who's hanging out*

I've been known to shed a tear at some movies. But, being a guy, I refuse to talk about it. ;-D
you go, sally...right off with your sexy guy...and yes, i do agree with you..."they" can have all the big shots "they" want, your hubby is up there with the best...
