Sexy Never Left: Lauren Graham

Lauren Graham is hot. There's something about her that I find overwhelmingly attractive however I just can't quite put my finger on it. If only I were better at putting into writing what it is that I feel *sigh*. I don't have much of a problem saying what it is that I feel and saying it well, but there's just something about writing it down. But I don't think it's the word/adjective that's giving me a hard time. No it's the 'thing' itself that's eluding me. [do click any of the images to enlarge]


I'm going to give it some long hard thought (not that I haven't already). She's got those eyes that intrigue you and make you want to know what's going on inside her mind. Eyes that let you know that there's depth to her; that there's so much going on inside her - all at the same time.


Eyes that are in no way boring. No, they drop a hint of mystery if you will. Lauren is the kind of woman any man or woman can see themselves settling down with; giving up their evil ways for. The kind of woman you know mom will definitely approve of and encourage you to go out and invest in that house with the white picket fence and the lovely garden in front.


She's got this homely demeanor about her. This sense of 'don't you worry about anything, I'll take care of everything'. A sort of 'you just come on in here out of the rain and let me take care of you; get you all warn; make you comfortable' way about her.


You know what really rocks my socks off though, despite the cool, calm, homely demeanor her hotness is in no way overshadowed. Not in the least. This is what fascinates me most about her. Kinda plain but sizzling at the same time. There certainly is nothing plain about her but it's just that vibe. Ah hell, can you tell that I'm struggling with this all? Am I getting my point across?


She has all the makings of a real woman who could steal my heart away. Make me fall hook, line and sinker; head over heals in love with.


Wouldn't I love to be standing in a corner as she walks into a crowded room. *swoon*. Oh the very thought of just watching her enter.


Another thing about her is that she exudes confidence and I'd be damned if we don't all know that confidence is sexy. It's one of the sexiest and most appealing qualities of a woman (at least it is for me). Not only that, she's funny. Yes, funny is sexy indeed as well. In fact it's a necessary requirement.


Lauren Helen Graham is an Irish American who was born in Hawaii. She's got a BA in English from Barnard College and a Master of Fine Arts in Acting Performance from Southern Methodist University.


Her movie credits include One True Thing, Bad Santa, Seeing Other People, Lucky 13, The Pacifier, Because I Said So and Evan Almighty. However, she's probably best known for her role as Lorelai Gilmore on Gilmore Girls. She's been on that show since it was created in 2000 for the full seven seasons. It's is believed that she was given a position of producer on the show in order to convince her to sign for an eight season.


She was the last guest on the Rosie O'Donnell show and has appeared on the Ellen Degeneres show eight times so far. She's got two movies slated for this year - Birds of America and Flash of Genius set for release on 25 October. The Dream of Romans is in post production and set to be released some time next year.


She has won 3 awards and have been nominated 10 times for various other awards.


That's it for this week. It's been a good run. Don't know if they'll be any blogging going on next week running into the following week. Gonna be gone again on business. I'm already tired thinking about it. I guess the appropriate line here would be 'stay tuned for more'. Happy 4th to all who celebrate it. Be good (at least as good as you can be) and stay safe.

Sexy Never Left: Jennifer Beals

Have I convinced you as yet that sexy never left so there was no need for Justin to attempt to bring it back? If Tina Fey, Halle Berry and Diane Lane have not already taken care of that, then for sure this captivating, exquisite, refined, ravishing beauty is sure to.


If Jennifer Beals does not prove me right, then something's terribly wrong somewhere. Some planet must have shifted somewhere and unleashed some terrible substance that has caused the human race to be delusional.


Beals has the power to make straight women go mmm hmmm and gay women go thud. Shit I know this woman could cause me quite a few concussions and embarrassing moments. I will grovel at her delectable feet if I could get close enough.


Honestly, I'm feeling weak and a little queasy just blogging about her. If anyone knew how long I've been meaning too, they'd be surprised. There are just certain women I've been kinda avoiding since starting this blog for fear of making a spectacle of myself or for not being able to do them justice with my babble. No doubt Beals is one of them and for the first reason mentioned above or maybe both reasons (damn I'm confused) is why it took me this long.

Beals is one of the most resplendent women to grace this planet. She is chic. Elegant does not even begin to describe her. Other adjectives that come to mind are posh, smart, swank and dashing; I just can't seem to help myself.

Take note that I am endeavoring ever so much to avoid mentioning anything that refers to this woman's sex appeal. I don't know if I'll be able to handle it. Thoughts fill my mind that do not allow me to do anything else when it comes to her sexiness.

We have watched her grow up before our eyes. And boy, what a sex-pot she has grown into! From the cute faced young girl in Flashdance to the worship inducing temptress in The L Word. She puts the term 'what a woman' to shame. She could set the world on fire with just a smile.

To describe this woman as hot would be the understatement of a lifetime. She puts the 'sex' in sexy and the 'stun' in stunning. You are liable to hurt your eyes if you look at her for too long.

She makes my skin hot. She makes my mouth go dry. She makes me weak in the knees. Honestly she does. She takes my breath away. She makes my heart flutter. She gives me butterflies in the stomach. Please excuse me, I feel faint. I need some air. I need to take my shirt off or something; turn down the AC unit. I just need to get a hold of myself.

So where was I? What was I getting so worked up over? Oh yeah, it's not a what but a who. I was blogging about a goddess of gorgeousness. Beals is unequivocally mesmerizing. She is emphatically H-O-T! I feel weak.

This is becoming too much for me. I was so afraid I'd be reduced to being overwhelmed by her. When she's on screen, my whole world stops revolving. Everything and everyone else cease to exist.

She's my water when I'm thirsty. My air when I need to breathe. My energy when I'm feeling exhausted. Yes, she's my ultimate fix. My JB love is through the roof, it's wider than the widest ocean and deeper than the deepest sea.

I have totally convinced myself that the song God Must Have Spent A Little More Time On You was written in dedication to her. No one can convince me otherwise. And so as not to make myself and anyone else sick with all this drooling and grovelling and lusting and wanting and yearning, I'm just going to provide data on her. I have totally exhausted myself. Let's concentrate on her and not my wildest dreams and undying adoration.

She was born on December 19, 1963 in Chicago, Illinois and is the mother of one (a girl - October 2005). She's the daughter of elementary school teacher (mom - Irish-American) and a grocery store owner (dad - African-American). She always had childhood dreams of become an actor and was also a teen model.

Her breakthrough role was in Flashdane in 1983. Since then she has appeared in several films including The Bride, Vampire's Kiss, Devil in a Blue Dress, Four Rooms, Runaway Jury, Wishful Thinking, A House Divided and After the Storm. Beals is however best known for her role in The L Word. Before TLW she must have already had a huge male following but playing a major role this show added a substantial mass of women to the list. I have had a crush on her since Flashdance, TLW only made it skyrocket; sent it into another dimension.

If you had doubts of her awesomeness then dig this, she put her career on hold in order to graduate from Yale University where she earned a degree in American Literature. Yes you got that right! How you like them apples? Intelligence is such a turn on. She was offered the part of Apollonia in Prince's Purple Rain but turned it down in order to concentrate on college.

I will leave you with two of her personal quotes which is testimony to the fact that she is deserving of my admiration and everything else that goes with it.

When she was asked by People Magazine about her standing in Hollywood, this was her reply: "It's been perfect. I can still ride a subway and work with great people. I can't imagine being Julia Roberts. I don't have the fortitude to withstand that kind of attention." *Whatever you say Ms. Beals. Whatever you say*

And this is her take on gay marriages: "I'm always shocked that gay marriage is such a big deal. You have to realize how precious human life is, when there are tsunamis and mudslides, when there are armies and terrorists - at any moment, you could be gone, and potentially in the most brutal fashion. And then you have to realize that love is truly one of the most extraordinary things you can experience in your life. To begrudge someone else their love of another person because of gender seems to be absolutely absurd. It's based in fear, fear of the other, fear of what is not like you. But when you are able to see lives on a day-to-day basis, rather than reducing it to politics, then it humanizes a whole community of people that were otherwise invisible." *Amen to that.*

Is she deserving of her Yale degree or what? And again I say, "What a woman!"

And just because there could never ever be too much Jennifer Beals, I'm including these (consider them outtakes of some sort):
