Basil Rathbone as Sherlock Holmes

There haven't been many posts this week because of studying and whatnot, but today I am completely pumped about: Basil Rathbone. He, to me, is the definitive version of Sherlock Holmes. He even looks like the drawing Sir Arthur Conan Doyle included in the books. He has this long bird-like nose, and crazy bone structure that pops out and says "hello there!" The way he dressed, with those coats and top hats...I'm drooling.





I love the pipe. I love the pinkie ring. Gaaah. Why is this man so beautiful?





Hmmm the violin. His brow does this furrowing thing whenever he played it in the movies. Rathbone= dashing.

David Tennant

I am familiar with David Tennant pretty much exclusively from Doctor Who. The man is just...gaaah, no words people, no words. The fact that he played Hamlet just makes my blood run even hotter, that man does wonders wit soliloquies. He's pretty much spot on with my ideal male: tall, thin, and sideburns. Not to mention a Scottish accent that should be illegal.



God, the concentration that man has. I can't handle the trenchcoat, oh gosh and the pinstriped suit. I'm squee-ing all over the place.



I love love LOVE it when guys have that bed-tousled look to their hair. It makes me think they just got out of bed after some canoodling and they didn't have time to fix it.

I love the play Hamlet...but this picture makes my bones quake. The trenchcoat and the black pants...gaaah.

Today's Boyfriend: Bradley Cooper

Okay, I understand that this might get reactions that cover the whole spectrum. First off, let me say that I have not seen The Hangover, but I do have plans to see the A-Team (but that's because of Liam Neeson who will have his own day :]) so the thing that stands the most out to me acting-wise was his cameo in Law & Order: SVU season 6 where he played a sleazy lawyer. So, it's not his acting chops that have gotten him on this blog. Sometimes, there's just something about someone, you can't explain why he's attractive, he just freakin' is.

Examples...




That smile. I don't say that about very many people, but his smile induces joy. I think another reason I find him so attractive is that he reminds me of Seth Green. I prefer that shaggy-long hairstyle on guys (some do look better with short hair) and B-Coop's is just fine with me.



There needs to be an entire post on men in button down dress shirts with the sleeves rolled up.
: q____ Seriously. I don't know if guys know how attractive that is. When the sleeves are rolled up, anything can happen; it's looks like they're ready for anything, at any moment they can get to it.

And finally...




Gotta give Coop-Coop props for taking care of himself. I feel this is an appropriate amount of muscle and tone, too much and it looks vomit-inducing, but just right...and ooh-la-la. What's this?! I spy with my little eye a tattoo as well... +5 Brad, +5.
