Monsieur Monde (aka WHERE did they find these men?)

This is the most desirable man in the world:

...Pretty swoonworthy no? His name is Kamal Orlando Ibrahim and he's from Ireland. And he's going to look even better after you see some of his competition.

I had no idea that the Mr. World pageant was taking place in Incheon, North Korea-- I'm guessing you didn't either. Perhaps that is a good thing though, because after extensive "research" I'm seriously doubting the criteria that they used to find some of their shining exemplars of male hotness/personality/brains.

According to wikipedia, the pageant was started in 1996 as an annual event. So far, it's only happened six times. My math is shaky, but that doesn't add up, does it? I watched countless "introduction" videos of the contestants (Seee how I toil for this blog?) to pick the "gems" of the bunch for you. (and by gems... I mean the most cringeworthy, of course.)

Lets start with the contestant from Greece, who has beautiful hair, has impeccable taste in clothes, and likes volleyball.


Mr India is a bachelor of arts, believes war is wrong and has a humour of sense. And a fierce jacket.


And most creepy of all seems to be Mr USA.
Questions that arise from his interview:
What is an oseopathic surgeon?
How does he get his hair to stick to his head like that? And why is it so shiny?
Lastly, why is he wiggling his eyebrow like he wants to kill me??????? (let's not even talk about the earring)

Should I be nice and leave you with a video of the winner, to wash out the painful images burnt into your eyeballs? ok, I'm a humanitarian, so of course I will.

(I'm not sure what he said before that wink, I'm not even a fan of winks, but I'm glad there is a category on this blog called SWOOON)

Ed's Note: 1. I'm surprised that North Korea (of all places) would hold such a prestigious competition as this one. 2. This is probably the easiest way to ever see what N. Korea looks like (all intelligence agencies of the world take note).

OH SWEET MOTHER OF MARY!

Chuck from NBC hasn't been my favorite show, I didn't care if it was getting cancelled or if it stayed. But lately, I finally realized that this show was my ULTIMATE guilty pleasure. And the fact that Brandon Routh (of Superman fame) is given a short recurring role also helped me a lot in repeatedly returning to it. For some reason, Agent Shaw here ended up being topless. It would be lying if I didn't say that my heart rate jumped up a notch or a hundred. Maybe I swooned a bit... ok fine, I SWOOOOOOOOOONED at the sight of his topless body. 


YES McG! MORE PLEASE! He should just do all his scenes right after he takes a shower (and is apparently greased up by some kind of baby oil [I suspect its Johnson & Johnson]). Rating problems: SOLVED! 

Diamonds! Now Look Again, I'm On a Horse

Ladies of the world, I have found the man of your dreams!

Well, more like Old Spice thought they have found the PERFECT Hunk of a man for us to drool over. Girl, he is damn fine.

To regrettably inform you readers: I am one of those girls that loves the smell of Old Spice. Yes, before you start going on a rant on how I have "poor taste" in quality of body soap, you all go ahead and remember that jock-crush of yours in school. After (insert sports) class/practice/game they'll all head to the shower room, and they always get out smelling like something that would make you wanna sniff them REAL CLOSE. Damn, good times.

During those sensitive transitioning age, guys usually either wear Old Spice or Axe (well at least in my generation they do)... And you all know that anybody wearing Axe is just a poser wannabe. Plus, Old Spice has always better commercials than Axe, by Infinity... +1. Case in point, watch ad above.

Jack Bauer in a Dress

I love Jack Bauer, I love Kiefer Sutherland even more. That low, rugged, sexy voice... Oh I feel like he's always ready to rip my shirt and then... SWOOOOOOOOOOON.

Must-resist-the-fantasy-and-continue-writing...The eight season of 24 is going to start soon (EIGHT? Where have I been?), this is why I think he's doing some kind of late-night promo on David Letterman. Apparently he lost a bet, and because of that... THIS HAPPENED:



I hope there's a ninth season of 24 or some other Kiefer Sutherland project, so he can lose another bet and hopefully wear this into an interview:

Hey, the dress is just the gateway drug into cross-dressing. Kiefer, you would look FIERCE! Imagine in 24 and Jack Bauer is doing some undercover work in a tranny show. Who in the world wouldn't wanna see that?
Bank of America on the other hand, would not approve.

This is Where the Magic HAPPENS

For all those men that needs an extra lesson in picking up women, throw "The Game" away, and watch this video below. Seriously, I'm already swooning so hard for all these magicians.



"You'll find when you have a little magic, flirting comes easy." Where can I find this book?

Glitter and Glamor Galore!

I am PISSED that there's no new True Blood this week. Ok, so that's that. 

Moving on... I was working out (yes, that happens occasionally at the gym) a couple of days ago and saw that they were showing the US Men's Figure Skating Championship (2009). 

I LOVE FIGURE SKATING. The costumes. Triple axels. The Music. Jeebus Christ! What more can I ask for in a sport??? 

Besides the men in tights, many of you are probably familiar with Johnny Weir, who won the previous US Figure Skating Championship (I dunno when), and when he performed one of his shows with "Poker Face." Yes, really, THAT Lady Gaga song. Watch it if you don't believe it or if you just really loooooooove the song. You'll realize how FABULOUS he truly is. Bless his heart for this ferociousness!  

But, all of the sudden he showed up: 

Yes Ladies, his name is Ryan Bradley and he is one cutie patootie. ESPECIALLY, when he did his Elvis thing. Swoooooooooooon. If you need some eye candy of the day to wash all those nasty ugly things that you saw during the day, go watch this please. 

Just keep on smiling Ryan, and no, your shirt is NEVER too tight. 

You just know that he's a pleaser, just look at his back flips. SWOOOOOON. What a man. 

*I apologize that I can't find a better quality video.
