Hottie Madness, Round 2: The Charmers.
posted on March 25, 2013 by
We’re continuing Round 2 of Hottie Madness with The Charmers bracket. So I may have accidentally started a small Twitter war between Henry Cavill and Robert Pattinson fans. The poll was back and forth the entire time, and Robert ended up taking the win by only a few votes. Sorry Henry fans, I know you tried. There were a couple of upsets in this bracket as well – Andrew Garfield beat out Eddie Redmayne and Adam Brody won over Joshua Bowman. So, which of these guys will make it to the Sweet 16? It’s up to you!
Don’t forget to vote in Round 2 of The Seducers bracket. Help your fave hotties move on!

(1) Liam Hemsworth vs (9) Jeremy Renner
Joseph Fiennes was actually in the lead right until the end when Liam took the win with 55%. And Jeremy beat out my beloved Billie Joe with 82%. See, this is how you know the competition isn’t rigged. I don’t even know what to say about Liam vs Jeremy. They are hot in totally different ways. So…Hunger Games vs Bourne?
Hottie Madness, Round 2: The Heartbreakers.

Welcome to Round 2 of Hottie Madness! First up, The Heartbreakers. No super close calls in Round 1, but there was an exciting battle of the abs! There were over 4,000 votes cast in the David/Rafa poll, and even though Rafa fans rallied, David was victorious. We did have one upset with Matthew McConaughey beating out Wilson Bethel. Why no love for Wilson? Is no one else watching Hart of Dixie??
So let’s get on with Round 2. You can click on the names/links for the full post and cast your vote in each box below the photos. Click here for more details and to download the bracket. Voting for this bracket has ended. But you can still vote for the last Round 2 bracket: The Seducers!

(1) Bradley Cooper vs (8) Colin Farrell
I guess it’s no surprise that Bradley beat Joe Flacco with 88% of the vote, even though Flacco fans tried to rally for a comeback! And Colin beat out Jon Hamm with 62%. As far as Bradley vs Colin, we have an all-American hottie vs. a sexy Irishman. Tough call.

It’s the final bracket in Round 1 of Hottie Madness: The Seducers! There are some strange matchups in this one! Not to sway the votes, but I shared a few thoughts on each matchup, and I tried to choose photos that were similar to put the hotties on a more level playing field. Just a reminder, all hotties had to be featured on the blog in the past year.

(1) Josh Hutcherson vs (10) Mario Lopez
Josh rode the popularity of the Hunger Games all the way to the top spot in this bracket! The ladies love Peeta! But do they love him more than Mario’s abs pecs dimples? Let’s find out!

We’re continuing Round 1 of Hottie Madness with The Players bracket! If you didn’t get to vote for The Seducers bracket, don’t worry, there is still time!

(1) Chris Hemsworth vs (16) James Van Der Beek
Clearly everyone around here loves Chris, as he was the most shared hottie of ALL the men in the tourney. Sorry, James, I think you’re hilarious in a self-deprecating kind of way, but not sure Dawson can compete with Thor. Or the Aussie accent.

(1) Liam Hemsworth vs (16) Joseph Fiennes
Poor Joseph really got no love. Liam on the other hand secured the top spot in this bracket, slightly beating out Channing Tatum (don’t miss him, he’s at the bottom). And now that Liam is rumored to be free of Miley, it makes him even more appealing! Sorry, Joseph, I really did love you as Shakespeare. It’s just hard to compete with the Hunger Games.

(1) Bradley Cooper vs (16) Joe Flacco
This is quite a turn of events. I actually started Hottie Madness last year because I was mad that Bradley Cooper was voted People’s Sexiest Man Alive instead of Ryan Gosling. But my love for Silver Linings Playbook resulted in a huge obsession with Mr. Cooper, and we find him as one of this years top seeds. So clearly I’m not alone. Joe Flacco is representing my hometown team, the Ravens. He was voted MVP after leading his team to a Superbowl victory. So I’d say he’s had a pretty successful year and his cool new $21mil a year salary is also quite attractive, don’t ya think?
Hottie Madness 2013!
posted on March 18, 2013 by
Hottie season has officially started, and I am so excited to announce the start of Hottie Madness 2013! Thanks to those who participated last year and voted Ryan Gosling as your Official Hottie. If you’re new to the blog, Hottie Madness is modeled after the NCAA March Madness tournament. (For the non-sports lovers, it’s a college basketball tourney. I promise this bracket is way more fun to fill out!) 64 hotties. Sorted and seeded. And ready to be judged by you over the next four weeks.
Here’s how it works. I made a list of all the men featured in Eye Candy posts this year which I narrowed it down to 64 men. 64!!! The hotties were divided into four brackets using random.org, and then seeded by their posts social stats (and a little bit of personal opinion). Some of these guys had over 1500 pins on Pinterest! And don’t worry, I didn’t do anything crazy like make Billie Joe a top seed!
Our fave fictional boyfriend: David Gandy.
posted on March 13, 2013 by
I’m mad at myself for not writing this post sooner, because the image search was SO. DAMN. HOT! (But don’t worry, I did write it in time to make the cut for Hottie Madness 2013, which starts next week!)
Some of you may recognize British model David Gandy from the Banana Republic Mad Men ads. Or perhaps you recognize him from the incredibly sexy Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue campaign – with those smoldering eyes and his beautiful bod covered only in water and tiny white briefs. Damn. But if you’ve read any of the books on my 50 Shades Withdrawal lists, you’ll know that he’s also served as the inspiration for many of the swoon-worthy fictional boyfriends. Raine Miller definitely used David as her muse when describing Ethan Blackstone in the Blacksone Affair trilogy. And I feel like he was also the inspiration for Gideon Cross. Well, at least in my head. (Anyone else agree?) I mean, you gotta picture someone when reading these books, so who better to picture than David??
BTW, narrowing down the images for this post was IMPOSSIBLE. I’m pretty sure he’s the perfect specimen of a man. (P.S. As Laura pointed out in the comments below, he’s beautiful on the inside as well, devoting a lot of his time to charities, including his latest initiative, the Blue Steel Appeal auction.)
Hump day beauties: The Wonderful Women of Oz. (Bonus hottie: James Franco.)
posted on March 06, 2013 by
Is anyone else excited to see Oz the Great and Powerful?? Growing up, The Wizard of Oz was my favorite movie. I’ve seen it well over 100 times. And I’m pretty sure it’s the reason I have a total irrational fear of tornadoes, having never actually experienced one. So I don’t know if any version of Oz, remake or prequel or whatever, can compete with the beloved original (although I’m still holding out hope for film adaptation of Wicked). But I have to say, this movie looks absolutely stunning. And I’m sure that has a little something to do with its incredibly attractive cast:
Glinda played by Michelle Williams
I’ve already discussed my obsession with Michelle, but her InStyle interview (which inspired this post), gave me a few more reasons to love her. I love that she repeatedly took a 10-year old pair of Converse to a shoe repair guy before finally breaking down and buying a new pair! I love that her beauty secret is dry shampoo. And that she called Uggs the “gateway drug of shoes” because you never plan on wearing them outside, and then you find that can’t leave the house without them. I hear ya, lady. (P.S. I’m sad that her relationship with Jason Segal is over. I loved them together!!)
 "Pin It")
Guys + guitars = Nashville hotties.
posted on February 27, 2013 by
Are you guys watching Nashville? It’s become one of my new favorite shows this season. Well, I guess my most favorite new show since Emily Owens was cancelled. Still pissed about that one. Anyways, if you’re not watching Nashville, you should be. Here are three reasons why: Sam Palladio, Charles Esten and Michiel Huisman. Hot dudes with guitars. Enough said.
Do you need me to say more? I think the pictures speak for themselves, but since I never know when to stop typing… Sam Palladio plays Gunnar Scott, a sweet, charming, hard-working musician who’s trying to break into the industry. He’s also a romantic who will fight to defend his woman’s honor. What’s great about Sam is that he’s actually a Brit, which makes his country twang even sexier. And he can actually sing. (Anyone else thinks he looks like a young Ben Affleck?)
