I have to admit that this post is kind of a cop out as it’s an oldie from my previous blog, but it’s just so great that I can’t leave it out of this one. Plus, I did some major alterations to the look, feel & most importantly to my men. So really, it’s not the same at all! Ladies, this one’s for you:
What better way to celebrate hump day than hot men? I’ve seen this meme popping up on several blogs and thought I would take part myself. Here are my top 10 men:
![2825741295_b1abcf57f6_o 1. Gavin Rossdale](http://melificent.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/2825741295_b1abcf57f6_o.png)
Better known to some as Mr. Gwen Stefani, I have had a pretty intense love affair with Gavin since I was 14 years old. Unfortunately, it has only gotten worse with age and is pretty pathetic. I support him in whatever he may do, even if it is coming out with some pretty “pop-gay” material. I think he is the most beautiful man on the planet (aside from my hubs, of course). And how much do I love him playing Mr. Mom in this photo? Well, maybe only a little bit more than I love the gun show on display 😉
![OUT17292479 2. Hugh Jackman](http://melificent.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/292906132_cbfb684fd3_o.jpg)
Hugh Jackman pretty much is the epitome of “my type”: tall, dark & handsome. I also totally dig that he has no problem giving men lap dances in public and performs on broadway. I cannot wait to see him in the Wolverine movie – it looks amazing. Plus the hubs just informed me that he will be half naked for a substantial part. Sold!
![14690477 3. Zachary Quinto](http://melificent.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/zq155-500x411.jpg)
I jumped on the Heroes bandwagon very very late, but am so glad I did. The show is ridiculously good and I immediately drew puffy hearts all around evil little Sylar’s head. The bad boy persona with deep seeded emotional issues definitely suits him. Plus, he’s intelligent, apparently addicted to Wii tennis and a great singer|dancer. And I love him in a pair of geeky glasses to an embarassing degree.
![picture-12 4. Clive Owen](http://melificent.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/picture-12.png)
I have to admit that at first I didn’t understand the allure of Clive Owen. He never really did it for me. Then I watched Sin City and my opinion totally changed. Don’t ask me why or how, I joked that it must have been the black and white lighting. I adore his accent, his charm and his dry, sarcastic British humor. But why does he always play the same character? Boo to that.
![picture-2 5. Elijah Wood](http://melificent.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/picture-2.png)
And now for something completely different. Although I’m sure you have all noticed a pattern until now (tall brunettes, accents preferrable), Elijah definitely breaks the mold. I just have a really big weak spot for cute little nerds. And Elijah has been my cute little nerd since I was about 9 years old. Do you guys remember Radio Flyer? Forever Young? North? Well, they all pretty much were staples of my youth. When I was sick, my mom knew she better come home with an Elijah movie. And nothing has really changed. I absolutely love him and the fact that we have about 356 things in common. Number 1? Favorite band: Smashing Pumpkins. Need I say more?
![382242833_f8c8f66bd1_o 6. Dominic Monaghan](http://melificent.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/382242833_f8c8f66bd1_o-346x500.jpg)
Now if I bring up Elijah, it is only fair that I mention Dom next! Despite the huge success of Lost and it being my favorite show ever, I was a huge Dom fan during the whole Lord of the Rings craze. I absolutely love this kid. A huge part of the attraction is just his hilariously spazzy sense of humor. When I found out he was going to be on a TV show, I got super excited. Needless to say, I didn’t take his death on Lost well at all. I was a sobbing pile of loser. And everytime there is a rare Charlie flashback, I start screaming and squealing like a little girl. And then cry. Damn you, JJ Abrams. Damn you.
![2447888570_3fc46d5a26_o 7. Henry Ian Cusick](http://melificent.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/2447888570_3fc46d5a26_o-403x500.jpg)
Another Lostie. I can’t help that the island is populated by a bunch of hotties, OK? As the hubs would say (yes, the hubs), he has one of the best breast plates EVAR. As I’m sure the producers know since he is always in half opened shirts, which is fine by me! His character is beyond fascinating to me – it is the hopeless romantic in me. I’ve loved watching him chase after his one true love season after season and cried like a sap when he was finally reunited with his Penny!!! And that accent is amazing. Seriously, he could cuss me out and I would still be smiling, Brotha.
![ryanreynolds3 8. Ryan Reynolds](http://melificent.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/ryanreynolds3.jpg)
There is nothing really to this crush except for one main thing: ABS. OK, and he also makes me laugh like a maniac. I got pretty upset at Dane Cook when I first heard his standup b/c I swore he delivered his jokes in the same exact manner as Ryan Reynolds. Also, did I mention abs?
![sendhil069wk2 9. Sendhil Ramamurthy](http://melificent.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/sendhil069wk2.jpg)
And yet another Heroes-ite. It is no secret that I love Indian dudes. They have the most beautiful features and Dr. Suresh is no exception. I love his eyes – they kind of have that “I-suddenly-forgot-my-name-and-where-I-am” factor about them. Only bummer? His British accent on the show isn’t real. I seriously got upset when I heard his real voice. Such a disappointment. But I’ll forgive you, Sendhil, just because everything else basically makes up for it. And I’m still gunning for Mylar.
![219021594_bdc5287510_o 10. Gale Harold](http://melificent.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/219021594_bdc5287510_o-341x500.jpg)
Brian Kinney would definitely hate to be last on my list, but alas, that is the way the cookie crumbles. If you have never seen Queer As Folk, please do! It is an incredible show. Gale plays the main character: a brooding, narcissistic, successful, sex driven asshole and he does it so well. It’s hard to believe that he is so soft spoken and well-mannered in real life. Anyways, the man is a beaut and supposedly he was one of the only guys on the show that was not gay. I may still have a chance 😉
This list has only made me realize that my type is so painfully predictable. I’m sure you guys could probably make a few educated guesses as who didn’t make the list, but would earn honorable mentions just by looking at these photos.
Yes, that is a challenge.
Go!
Nadia says
LOL…I’m there with yeah with everyone, EXCEPT ELIJAH! He’s a dork…check him out when he guest-stared on Yo Gabba Gabba. I’m mad at you.
I’m putting my own collection of eye candy as we speak! Stay tuned.
Lindsay says
Great way to start the day! Hugh Jackman – total daddy! Nice pics. I would add Johnny Depp & Rob Pattinson <3
Meli says
Nadi – I remember you telling me the Yo Gabba Gabba story, but I still adore him! EW for life! 😉 But I will check out the video and post it here just for you! Hehe.
I can’t wait to see your list!
Linds – Daddy he is!!! Ew @ RPattz. I constantly want to punch that little smug face of his. Truth is, I just hate him as Edward Cullen. He was a great Cedric Diggory though!
Agustin says
I think I have more of a chance with about 30% of the boys you’ve listed unfortunately my dear 😉
Ryan Reynolds looked akward in that photo, like someone injected his pectoral muscles with cat pee and he’s in pain, but trying not to show it.
Pattinson sucked as diggory too. They ruined Viktor and Cedric IMHO.
No one else commented on the obvious Muse reference for the URL/permalink? I puffy heart Muse.
Here’s Elijah on Yo Gabba Gabba dancing with the Bat Commander’s army:

Squeeeeeee! Brian!!! How I miss QAF. Sniff. I need to watch my dvds an reminisce. Sad face.
Sylar and Mohinder, double yum!!!
Meli says
OMG babe.
Those were some choice videos!
We will have a youtube video battle at a later date.
Yo Gabba Gabba looks like an acid trip.
Tammy says
OMG! All these men are super hot, but I have to say my favorite from your list is Hugh Jackman, that man is SO hot!!!!! His wife is one lucky beyatch! And, btw, Elijah Wood is super cute too. I love men with bright, light eyes (especially with an accent).
Nice blog, btw =)
Meli says
Tammy –
Thanks!!! I love it as well 😉
& I love eyes. Period.
Windows to the soul, right?
