Lips like this…

If I had lips like this, my husband might never turn down anything I ever asked for again.

And for a still shot:

I’m fully aware that he’s douche-tastic, but he’s a beautiful jackass. Sometimes you have to overlook these things for sexy celebrity men you’ll never actually meet. 
Serenade me John, serenade me.

Superhot Superheroes

Let’s talk about hot Scottish guys (with British accents) for a moment, shall we? I have your attention? Okay, good.

On Sunday, Rusty and I had time to kill before dinner at the Melting Pot (yum! btw), so we decided to go watch a movie. The only 2 movies we wanted to see were The Hangover 2 or X-Men. Don’t get me wrong, I love me some Zach Galifianakis, but there really was no contest. We’re both X-Men fans, so it was the obvious choice.

I hadn’t really heard anything about the movie, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. Let me be forthright. This isn’t a movie review. The story was good. We loved it. Now, let’s focus on the more important topic at hand: the deluge of hotness (mainly) in the form of my lover, James McAvoy:

Oh. My. Lord. Not only is he more than marginally beautiful, but I could listen to him all day long. Seriously, the man could talk about changing his oil and I’d listen. He played the young Professor Xavier, whom I already love, so I was a definite fangirl over this. Let’s just have some more hotness, shall we?

  

Rawr.

Of course if you’re not into delicious Scottish/British men, there are other delightful pieces of eye candy to fit your liking. (But if you don’t like hot Scottish/British men, I only have one thing to say: WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU???)

Let’s look at a few of those gorgeous gentlemen as well:

Exhibit A: Michael Fassbender (the best Magneto has ever looked!)

Exhibit B: Lucas Till (don’t worry…he’s 20)

Exhibit C: Edi Gathegi (of Twilight fame)

Exhibit D: Brenden Fehr (from Roswell and Bones)

See what I mean? I’m sure there were more, but these were the ones that stuck out to me.

Have you seen it? Who was your favorite character?

Yay for cellulite!

Okay, not yay, but you get the point. I’m so glad that celebrities are speaking out about retouching and embracing their bodies. I won’t begin to get on my soapbox here, but I am thankful for the honesty of some celebrities.

I struggled with eating disorders as a teen. Now of course, my disorder is that I like to eat TOO much. Ha! I remember looking at the stick-thin models though, and knowing that I could never be that way. It didn’t stop me from trying, though.

As a photographer, retouching amazes me. Don’t get me wrong, I use post-processing on my photos as well. Mine are usually to fix the white balance, adjust the color, or to crop though. It isn’t to put one person’s head on another’s body or to shave 10 lbs of a size 2 model.

Lord knows I’m not a huge Kardashian fan, but Kudos to you, Khloe for speaking out about this photo that was retouched:

Cripes, Man! She had just GIVEN BIRTH 7 days prior to the before photo. Did they really have to shave off that much of her stomach? She was a beautiful, glowing new mother. Geez.
