Inspiration, Chocolate, and Music

Tory Temple's blog on Sunday reminded me that I, too, have taken inspiration from Paula Deen and her guest stars. She's had a particular pastry chef on Paula's Party at least twice now. He's undoubtedly the sexiest pastry chef in the US, possibly the world, and damn but he knows how to flirt. Rowr! His name is Johnny Iuzzini and when I was creating one of my heroes it didn't take much to realize who I was describing. I even gave the character a couple of tattoos before I ever knew Johnny had any.


Oh, and I mentioned he was a pastry chef, right? On this episode, he made Chocolate Pudding with Candy Roses. ::sigh::

And on a completely different note, I leave you with this hilarious and completely un-PC video link. I Love the Gays

Ah, Autumn!

Despite the last gasp of an Indian Summer day yesterday, fall is definitely in the air here. It's my favourite season (besides baseball season ;) ) and I'm thrilled to bits that it has finally arrived. While others may sigh sadly over the passing of warm summer days filled with shirtless young men, I say, bring on the pullovers, cardigans, and fisherman knits. I love a guy who's bundled up in a scarf and a knit cap and a big, wooly sweater. I'm a sucker for cozy.

Take this snugglable Gap ad, for example. Dorky and undeniably adorable, IMO.

And who can deny that Jamie Bell is simply puthiminyourpocketandtakehimhome cute in this photo?

So yeah I agree that hot naked boys are all sorts of yummy, but let's enjoy these bundled up honeys, too.

A chuckle to get the weekend started right...

This week has been long. Make that loooooong, though not in a totally bad way. :) But it makes me appreciate that the weekend is just around the corner and I might actually have some time to *gasp* get some writing done and finish a couple of art projects that have me tanked. Woo hoo!

And to help start off the weekend right, I poked around YouTube and found this clip from an old SNL ep -- cute and funny!
