"Oh" how disturbing

[rivendellrose]

This afternoon, I saw a truly scary thing on Oxygen (the Oprah channel). Among other ridiculous commercials on that channel, there was one for a show called "Mr Romance" - one of those reality TV type shows for picking the best sexy bachelor, or something like that. And at the end of the commercial, Fabio (or possibly just a very Fabio-esque looking guy) appeared, grinned at the camera, and said "There can be only one." Complete with a very scary CG eye twinkle added in.

I'm still trying to convince myself that it wasn't some sort of weird hallucination.

Housemates? I'm not crazy, right? That really did happen, didn't it?

I have seen that. It's definitely one of those things you can't forget...no matter how hard you try.

It really is... and believe me, I'd love to. Fabio kind of scares me to begin with, and that was definitely on my list of things I could have gone my whole life without seeing.

I saw that. It definitely was Fabio. I was traumatized. *shudder*

It was so weird!!!

Fabio is creepy. I don't understand how he's supposedly a sex symbol - he's not even good looking!

[ciara-belle.livejournal.com]

Fabio is not in the least sexy. I mean, I don't have a problem with long hair, if it suits the guy, but I'm not really a fan of giant muscles.

I really don't know what people see in him. That show's going to be bizarre.

Long hair is wonderful on some men, but... gah. He's over-tanned, over-muscled, doesn't really have good facial structure, his hair clashes with his skin and I doubt either are natural colors, and... I could go on about this for ages, but I'll just shut up. Suffice to say, I don't like him in the slightest.

Like Bill Weasley!

Umm...who is fictional. But my mental picture of him is pretty!

I don't blame you at all. Am definitely not a Fabio fan. My latest fetish seems to be for skinny guys in suits, so I'm just going to stare at my Anderson icon for a while. ;D

*Laughs* Bill Weasley, any of the "Lord of the Rings" boys... I can think of tons of examples. Just not him.

My fetish is always for skinny boys, but in terms of clothes, lately I've gotten weirdly attached to oversized sweaters. I blame watching a lot of Highlander. *Sighs*

Lord of the Rings is the best example movie for How to Look Incredibly Sexy with Long Hair. Or Master and Commander. Because the British Navy uniforms are very sexy.

Skinny boys are the cutest. ^^ Guys with big muscles would be hard to hug. I don't think my arms would fit!

[rivendellrose.livejournal.com]

Yup. *g* You've got every possible style of sexy long hair displayed right there in Lord of the Rings. I still haven't seen Master and Commander... gotta put that on my list of movies to rent.

Exactly! It'd be too awkward. Besides, if his bicep is bigger than your head, there's just something wrong.

[ciara-belle.livejournal.com]

Ooh, yes Master and Commander is very much worth repeated viewings. I think I saw it three or four times in theaters. The Horatio Hornblower movies are excellent for pretty Napoleonic Wars-era uniforms too. I'd buy those DVDs but everything from A&E is so expensive!

[rivendellrose.livejournal.com]

Wheee, I'll have to make sure to see it, then. I've heard a lot about both of them.

It happened. And it scares me, too.

[rivendellrose.livejournal.com]

Oh good. I think that image is going to haunt me for a long, long time.

Fabio is Italian. I would say the odds are very, very, very good that the hair is a bleach job, and not a particularly good one at that.

[rivendellrose.livejournal.com]

It certainly looks like one. Hair that color was not meant to exist in nature... and certainly not on someone with tanned-leather colored skin.
