So, the other day, I'm talking to my best pal at work Jodi (aka Sunshine).
And Sunshine's not feeling too sunny.
In fact she's feeling quite cloudy. :(
So of course, I need to cheer her up. I start thinking (ow!)... what makes her smile? What makes her smile?
And---
EUREKA!!!
Bradley Cooper makes her smile!
So, I rummage around Google images for a bit until I find a nice half-nakey pic of him, and then post it to her Facebook wall. And it worked! Whoo hoo!!!
And then I decide I need to spread the man candy around a bit more, so I find a pic of another fellow Em used to crush on when she was a teeny-bopper, and post it to her wall!
And JIMINEY CHRISTMAS was it fun!
The best part with Em was the reminiscing. The remembering of these gents that we swooned over as teenagers, and forgot about since.
How many hours did we spend gobbling up their appearances on tv or in movies, their musical gigs, and their athletic events? How many magazines did we borrow from our friends just because that dreamy celeb was on the cover, or cut out pics to tack-up on our walls, rubber cement to our notebooks, or stick inside our lockers?
In a really strange (and likely unhealthy) way, these heartthrobs helped shape who we were, how we saw ourselves, and the qualities we'd end up looking for in our future mates. Even as the battle rages over at Justine's place about Alpha and Beta Males and Katie contemplates the evolution of the modern hero, understanding just what it was about that fellow (or gal) that made our tummies butterfly is important when shaping our characters.
So!
We'd like to salute and celebrate the heartthrobs of OUR pasts. Those gents and ladies who taught our hearts to pitter-patter and (in some cases) slipped into the ether of anonymity.
On March 5 (cinco de march-o) , we ask YOU to join us as we remember, celebrate, appreciate, ogle, tease-each-other, and fanboy/girl out.
The linky-doodle-majig is over in my sidebar up near the top. Or you can find one at either of my co-hosts blogs:
Ms. Sarah Ahiers :)

Ms. Emily White :)
(lovely ladies-both- and you should totally follow them!) :)
Later Gators!
That's day one of my blog tour for CassaFire, so I probably won't be able to participate. Not sure who I'd even select anyway!
ReplyDeleteI bet you've found Bradley's naked pic at my place :) He often visits HOLLYWOOD SPY scantily clad LOL :)
ReplyDeleteI've already built my list, the #7 may be tricksy, not sure who to go with. Can't wait to find awesome pics
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog - new follower! Signed up for the blogfest. Sounds like lots of fun.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! Us Gen X'ers should have plenty of hearthrobs in the 80s and 90s to choose from.
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be great! I can NOT wait to see everyone's choices. :)
