With a Grain of Salt

This week I bring you a menu of delicious faces – yes, most of them can actually act, as well, but being a connoisseur of food and movies, I thought I would make a few pairings here myself.  I enjoy a handsome face as much as the next gal, but you won’t find the likes of Ryan Gosling, Josh Lucas, or Bradley Cooper here.  No, thank you! That current generation ‘all looks alike’! I’m talking guys that are just plain “yummy”! Some of these guys can look amazing with long or short hair, some with both facial hair or clean-shaven, others are just classy and perfect in the way we always saw them. And yes, this blog exposes a part of myself I usually keep quiet. (Except at home, when I melt like butter, and my husband lovingly says, “I’m in the room!” Honey, I know! But you also know you are the best of them all; it’s a good thing I “let you” have your list, too!)

Joe Lando – when “Dr. Quinn” aired on t.v., my youngest son, then around 3 years old, would ask, “Mommy, is that your boyfriend?” I wonder what every gave him that impression. (...and he could be the brown-eyed brother to Daniel Craig (see below))

Mr. Redford

Robert Redford – DUH!

Main Course -
