Happy Hump Day: Michael Pitt

Michael Pitt is the perfect balance of pretty boy and grunge rocker: sweet, boyish features paired with a fuck you attitude and a wardrobe that screams, “I may smell a little.” And that seems to have gotten him pretty far: he is doing great on HBO’s hit show, Boardwalk Empire, and stereotypically enough, he’s also the singer and guitarist in a band, Pagoda. He personally reminds me of the late, great Kurt Cobain, so it was no surprise that he played the 90’s grunge prince in Gus Van Sant’s Last Days – a movie that has been on my must-see list for far too long. He also has quite the collection of amazing photographs that I was lucky enough to stumble upon while scouring Tumblr. Make sure to check out the sampling under the cut!

Happy Hump Day: Francois Arnaud

This mister was another recommendation (thanks for all the tips, ladies!), and although I am not a huge fan of The Borgias (it’s a little too slow moving for me), I can totally appreciate a little Francois Arnaud, who plays Cesare Borgia. Unfortunately, he looks pretty ridiculous in what seems like a wig (?) on the show, and this paired with the ornate period wardrobe can really be a hump day downer. Thankfully, the Tumblrs pulled through with the following magnificent pictures. Adorable shaggy hair, current clothing, smoldering poses: downer no more, ladies!

Happy Hump Day: Charlie Hunnam

Apparently I am missing out on something serious by not watching FX’s Sons of Anarchy. I have several friends that are always raving about it on the Facebooks, but I figured it was some dude-like show that I wouldn’t get into (cue Spartacus – it’s just so ridiculous), being about an outlaw motorcycle club and all. That was, until one of those friends posted the photo above, and I saw exactly what I was missing: Charlie Hunnam. Are you joking me with this guy? Not only does he look like that, but he’s also British (that gives him quite a few more points in my book) – something like that comes packaged with an English accent? Definitely not fair. I see my Netflix working in overdrive in the very near future to catch up with all seasons. Anyone care to join?

Happy Hump Day: Elijah Wood

Sound the alarms, readers! I had not yet featured Elijah Wood on hump day! I know, I am pretty disappointed in myself. I know FX’s Wilfred just started last week (I hope you all watched – it was hilarious), and his role as Frodo will forever be remembered, but my love affair with Mr. Wood started way back. Namely, when I was a tween. Whenever I had a sick day, my mom always knew to bring me home an Elijah Wood movie home from Blockbuster. He then professed his love for The Smashing Pumpkins – my favorite band. And then came Lord of the Rings, my first true nerdy fandom. And it was basically sealed. I’m pretty sure we are destined to be BFF’s, so if you are out there, El Wood, let’s throw back some beers, take some lomo shots, and catch a secret Pumpkins show. Oh, and cuddle.

ps; whoever can state who took the picture above wins Melificent brownie points!

Happy Hump Day: Kit Harington

Today’s hump day was a request from my dear friend, Eli, but I have to say that I was definitely 100% in agreement. I actually first heard about Game of Thrones (the book series) at last year’s Comic Con when I incidentally started chatting up the owner of TheOneRing.net (yes, I’m that kind of dork) and he filled me in on the epic stories. I actually wrote the books’ information down in my iPhone and I will never forget him telling me that when I read them, I would want to thank him profusely. And although I barely have time to read anymore (but so desperately wish I did) and am only 1/4 of the way through the first book, I have to say that he was right. It’s a fabulous story, and one of the only ones that managed to be translated accurately into an equally kick ass TV series (I’m such a sucker for a good fantasy). I am totally and completely hooked. But I digress….how adorable is newcomer, Kit Harington, that plays the absolutely lovable bastard, Jon Snow? I find myself pretty mesmerized by his lips every time he is on screen. Aren’t they just perfect? I know quite a few girls that wouldn’t mind keeping you warm at the wall, Mr. Snow. 😉
