Hotter than Hell Tribute: Patrick Swayze

I was so sad to hear of the passing of Patrick Swayze.  What is it with the deaths of so many icons this year?

I know I'm not the only one who was inspired to dance by "Dirty Dancing."  I have never wanted to "mash potato" so hard in my life.  Every dancing scene in that movie just looks like hot, sweaty good fun.  And I'm not going to even tell you how many times I have watched this movie.  The short answer is: not enough.  I will watch it every single time I catch it on television.  How can I not?

Hotter than Hell: Matthew Morrison

It's been way too long since I posted a "Hotter than Hell" pick.  Problem is, I'm not finding any dudes that I'm feeling passionate about lately.  I mean, I could write weekly odes to Alexander Skarsgard and Ian Somerhalder, but those would get boring after awhile.  I mean, they'd just go, "Hot.  Hot.  He's hot.  Oh, God, he's so hot.  Look at the fangs.  Look at the eyes.  Look at the abs.  Lovement."  Over and over again.  Ad nauseum.  It would get old.  Though it would be pretty.

Anyhow ... (Alexander in a black tank top) ... moving on!  Imagine my delight to have a new object of affection!

Hotter than Hell Flashback: Shemar Moore

 

Okay, I guess this isn't too much of a flashback, because, as far as I know, Shemar Moore is still on TV.  (Correct me if I'm wrong.)  But this is a flashback for me because my infatuation with Mr. Moore started many moons ago, when he first hit the screen as Young and Restless' Malcolm.  Mrowr!

Hotter than Hell: Alexander Skarsgard

Okay, this should not come as a shock to y'all.  I love me some vampires.  Yes, I do.  And yes, I know they're fictional characters, people.  Don't feel that you have to flood the comments or my e-mail box with how Jean-Claude and Asher and Lestat and Louis don't actually exist.  I know.  It would just be nice if they did, is all I'm saying.

So, of course, since I love vampires, I am a fan of True Blood (the show, haven't read the books yet, but I plan to).  However, I can't say that I love Vampire Bill.  I find him patently unsexy in every way, including that ridiculous accent.  I don't know many people from Louisiana, but I know none of them sound like that.  Maybe they did during the Civil War?  But how the heck would they have researched that?  No, I'm going with Stephen Moyer is doing his best impression of what he thinks a Civil War era Louisianan would have sounded like and it is not.good.  You know what is good, though?  The glorious face of one Alexander Skarsgard, known to True Blood fans as Eric.

 

Hotter than Hell (In Memoriam): Michael Jackson

 

There is no way in the world that I could pick anybody else this week.

Hotter than Hell Flashback: Brian Bloom

When I was a little girl, my grandmother, Mary, would make me watch soap operas with her after school.  She only watched CBS soaps: The Young and the Restless, The Bold and the Beautiful, As the World Turns and Guiding Light.  Watching soaps with her grandma is probably a really weird thing for a kid to be doing, but I learned to enjoy it way more than going outside and running up and down the street like the other kids (Ew - sweaty!).  Eventually, I got just as wrapped up in the lives of Victor, Nikki, Ashley, Brooke, Ridge, Lily, Holden, Reva and Josh as Grandma was (and still is).  Even now, I like to look in on them from time-to-time.

It was during these sessions of soap watching that I met Brian Bloom, most popularly known as "Dusty."

  

Hotter than Hell: Justin Timberlake

 

I am surprising myself with this post.  Not that I didn't already know that I find Justin Timberlake dirty hot ... but because I am shocked that I am so willing to admit it.

Hotter than Hell: T.I.

In honor of my beloved T.I. who has now had to shuffle off to the pen:

 

Hotter than Hell: Henry Cavill

 Henry Cavill is an exceedingly pretty man.  You can tell that much by this picture.  What you cannot tell is how damn hot and tongue-blisteringly lickable he is.  Allow me to show you:

Hotter than Hell: Maurice Benard

 I have been in love with Maurice Benard since the fall of 1995.  It was then that I met Meloni.  And it was then that she introduced me to "Sonny", in the personage of one Mr. Maurice Benard.

Michael Corinthos, Jr., or, as he is most popularly known, Sonny, is the best character that the writers of General Hospital have ever created.  The mobster with a heart of gold.  The loving father and (sometimes dedicated) husband.  The loyal friend.  The brooding, bipolar walking sex in a suit.  And Maurice has killed his portrayal of Sonny.  His commitment to the character is awesome.
