Big Brother All Stars/Boyzone→[More:]Janelle. Bikini last night. Droooooooooool.
Ooooh, ouch. But I like Giada too, and I know she's not the favorite. (Hey, I dig Rachel too! I guess I'm more of a boob guy though, or maybe just a boob.)
No, boobs are good. we like boobs. But the fake blond hair and all the makeup...nah. If I had to do the bonedance with a reality show star, it'd either Sarah the Comic Geek Girl from Real World Miami or Jade Goody (beacuse drunken trashy chicks are fun).
getoffmylawn: in general, no. I usually go for the Alyson Hannigan/Rachel Ray/Kirsten Vangsness type. But that blowsy drunk Jade does have a demented appeal of some kind. I'm not proud to admit it.
I don't know exactly. This is why I usually restrain myself from saying anything when you bring up celebrities you find attractive.
I think I'd have the same reaction if getoffmylawn asked, "is this really the kind of music people like?" And someone responded with, "In general, no. I tend to listen to Rush and Yes." There's nothing wrong with Rush and Yes, but I dislike that kind of music so much that it'd drive me crazy if I didn't react to the comment.
In my experience, there tends to be greater variety in taste in music than in celebrities of the opposite sex, so the contrast between what you like and what I like sticks out even more.
I love, love, love Janelle. I never watched BB, but last season reeled me in because of her. And Howie, with his "Wack Shack" and hatred of that simp April.
Good times. Good times.
And Melinda from RW is pretty, until the minute she opens her mouth. What a fargin' moron.
well, the "in general,no" was meant to mean that the Jade Goody type is not generally what I go for but I found her attractive for some unfathomable reason (possibly because she's prone to public nudity), but I worded it poorly. I wouldn't presume to speak for anyone else's taste. As for attractive celebrities, well, attraction is often purely chemical, there's no telling who you'll find yourself smitten with from afar.
I should have asked: Do men take women like that seriously as people, would you really want to have coffee and conversation with her in public, or introduce her to your friends and family, take her to your work christmas party, or develop a lasting, loving relationship with her? Or do you just want to do nasty things to her?
Well, some women you want have coffee and conversation with, some you want to do nasty things to. Some you want to do nasty things to on the coffee table. I'm sure it's the same for the ladies. And, alas, I am as happily coupled up (looking forward to weekend beach frolicking!) as well, so it's academic really.
I'd them to be greeted by a round of "eww"s
I think you have to take that with a certain "More for me, then" attitude. I did run counter to my usual "If you can't say something nice" ethic, though.
You're not at all crazy, tr33. You really have to Janelle in action to love her, though. She looks like your typical Barbie bimbo, but she's funny, smarter than she looks and a wicked competitor. I really hope she wins this time. (Second choice: Evil Dr. Will.)
