Happy Hump Day {Role Reversal}: Zooey Deschanel

April 4th, 2012 | Posted in Hump Day, TV by Meli

So a very long time ago, all you lovely people suggested that I feature some of my favorite girls. I always had this idea on the back burner, but just never got around to it – mainly not knowing how to incorporate it into posts. Now I know. Every month, I’ll play a little role reversal on Hump Days, giving the girls a chance to shine as well.

And let’s face it. All us ladies have a few good girl crushes, right?
I had to start it with the absolutely lovely, Zooey Deschanel. She was the inspiration for my most recent haircut, and one of my most favorite style icons. I think she’s all sorts of wonderful (we even share a gluten intolerance – aw). And how amazing is her show, New Girl? It’s the highlight of my week, seriously. Plus, check out her adorable blog, Hello Giggles. Heart: bursting. Even more when she comes paired with the gorgeous Joseph Gordon Levitt. God, I love them so.

{Hunger Games Week}: Lenny Kravitz

March 21st, 2012 | Posted in Hump Day, Movies, Music by Meli

I wanted to keep with the theme this week, but at the same time did not want to sacrifice Hump Day (I know it’s all your favorite post of the week), and then it came to me: I haven’t featured the wonderfully talented and beautiful Lenny Kravitz! Perfect. Now although a whole new generation will only know him as Cinna, Katniss’ assigned soft-spoken stylist for the games, he has always been one of my favorite musicians. I must have seen Lenny play live about 5 times during my high school and undergraduate career – I couldn’t get enough of him. I mean, who could? He is gorgeous and made some amazing music. The hubs even had one of his songs, Believe, on the list of songs he wanted to sing to me at our wedding (and when he did a test run, I cried like a baby – thank god it didn’t make the cut). I’m crossing my fingers that he does Cinna justice – he was definitely one of my favorite characters in the series.

Do you think he’ll do a good job, Tributes?

Happy Hump Day: Aidan Turner

March 14th, 2012 | Posted in Hump Day, TV by Meli

I started watching SyFy’s Being Human when it first premiered with pretty high hopes since I had heard the British version was amazing. Unfortunately, it didn’t really work for me and I often found myself bored or disinterested in the storyline as well as with the characters. After a few episodes, I quit and no longer watched. It wasn’t until recently that I decided to give the Brit version a go and oh my, am I ever glad I did. The hubs and I are now certifiably hooked with all 3 past seasons on Netflix instant. One particular draw (aside from a much more believable cast and script) is the Irish hottie mchottiepants, Aidan Turner, who plays the UK’s irresistible vampire, Mitchell. And even better? I just discovered he will be playing the young dwarf, Kili, in The Hobbit films. Score.

Happy Hump Day: David Gandy

March 7th, 2012 | Posted in Fashion, Hump Day by Meli

I love featuring male models on hump day because I get to sift through an excessive amount of photos, unlike regular actors. I have to thank my lovely friend, Rosa, from Accidental Sexiness for this recommendation. David Gandy is a BRITISH model (I love when amazingly beautiful men come with an equally beautiful accent) that is best known for his work with Dolce & Gabbana. He is also ranked as the 3rd most successful male model according to Forbes magazine. Not too shabby, Gandy…

Oh. And he’s pretty much the perfect male specimen.
Carry on.

Happy Hump Day: Scott Speedman

February 29th, 2012 | Posted in Hump Day, Movies, TV by Meli

Everyone got to know Scott Speedman on a little show called Felicity back in the late 90′s, but I was never one of them. I guess I was just too cool for J.J. Abrams back then (blasphemer). The first time I laid eyes on Mr. Speedman was in the Underworld films, where he plays Michael Corvin, one hot piece of werewolf. So beyond gorgeous photos like the ones I feature below came as no surprise to me – apparently those Felicity fans don’t remember him being quite so hunky. Just proves my theory that men only get better with age (too bad the same cannot be said of us – sigh).
