Top Five

Sometimes I wish I were a gay man. The other day I was thinking about all the hot gay famous men in this world. This could be because- 1) Portland has a high gay population and there are tons of good-looking men not interested in what I (or any other woman) have to offer, or 2) I have been watching waaaaaaay too much "Queer As Folk" these days (I was missing Toronto and bought the first two seasons of QAF. The show was filmed in the "Gayborhood" of T.O., where I lived for a while. It made me feel better to see some familiar sites!).

Here is my list of the top five HOTTEST gay men I wish I could fuck-

5. George Michael
Yes, I know he is ancient. But I saw some footage of his LA concert and damn, he still looks good! I am not normally attracted to singers, actors, models, etc (I got for the athlete...but there are not too many good-looking gay athletes), but George makes the cut. My dad has a very eclectic CD collection, so I grew up listening to Wham, believe it or not! Even as a little girl I thought George Michael was hot, even if he shorts were a little too tight and short.

4. Marc Jacobs
I am extremely attracted to ambition and success, especially at an early age. Just a few short years after graduating from Parsons, Marc had achieved success under his own label. In 1987 Jacobs was the youngest designer to have ever been awarded the fashion industry's highest tribute, the Council of Fashion Designers of America Perry Ellis Award for New Fashion Talent. In addition to his own Marc Jacobs label, he is the Creative Director for fashion house Louis Vuitton. Not only has he been able to grow the business for LVMH, he has expended his own label. At 45, Marc has done a lot! Oh, and his long-term domestic partner was a former prostitute! Gotta love controversy!! Oh, AND he's Jewish!

3. James Dean and Marlon Brando
There have long been rumors that these two actors were bisexual...so two reportly bisexual actors add up to number 3 on my list. Ahhhh, James Dean. I think part of the reason I love James Dean is due to his great accomplishments in such a short lifetime. And his passion for cars and racing. I am such a gear-head, so I find it appealing when guys share my love of automotive. And to die in such a spectacular car accident only adds to the allure. Two of my all-time favorite movies are the Godfather (I&II, which are basically one long story when watched back-to-back...Drop the gun, take the canolis) and Apocalypse Now (I love the smell of napalm in the morning. Smells like victory!). Although these movies were not in Brando's super sexy phase during the 1950s, they capture his raw talent.

2. Brian Kinney
Brian Kinney is Gale Harold's in "Queer As Folk," but Gale is straight in real life, so I have to go with Brian. QAF is like "Sex & the City" with gay men and a lesbian couple, and Brian is the Samantha equivalent. He has sex (and lots of it with lots of different men) for the sheer pleasure of having sex. Brian doesn't make excuses and looks out for his number one priority- himself (although he would never admit, he is always there for his friends). He is also has a hugely successful advertising career...brains are hot!

1. Tom Ford
I can barely say the name Tom Ford without getting all hot and bothered. Yes, he is another fashion designer out of Parsons who has achieved great things at an early age. He single-handedly turned around the Gucci and YSL labels before creating his own Tom Ford label. (The Tom Ford brand is especially successful when one considers it is MENSWEAR only! Aside from a recent expansion to include womens' eye and fragrances, his brand is one of the few focusing solely on a mens' line. Tres formidable!!) His creative abilities and business acumen resulted in a 90% sales increase in 1996. Not bad! Tom is also one of the most decorated designers of today in terms of awards and accolades. But his smokin' good looks and ambition is only part of why I like him...he is fucking cocky as hell! Now this man is absolutely full of himself. I loooove confidence in men and Tom Ford is the epitome of self-assuredness. When Rachel McAdams refused to strip down with Scarlett Johansson and Keira Knightly for the 2006 Vanity Fair cover he was shooting, Tom stepped in. Similarly, he has no problem using himself in ad campaigns for his brands. I want Tom Ford.

This blog entry has made me realize I need to STOP watching QAF and get out more. Good thing I have plans tonight! ;)
