Male Muse: Sang-woo Do

I have a track record of falling for model slash musicians. It's because I have a weak spot for long limbs and muso's. Combine that with a serious sense of vintage 'off-duty' style, and I get the occasional knock-knees. Meet my muse of late - model, actor, muso, with perfect eyebrows, Sang-woo. (I tell you! If you squint, he almost looks like Franciscow Lachowski!)
Sang-woo turns 24 today. Merry Christmas and a Happy birthday to you!

Male Hairspiration

Some hair-spiration for the gentlemen.

My kind of Sexy

Yesterday, my girl friend who I shall only reveal as M (ends with the letter A, and rhymes with paprika and America) enlightened me that she thought a particular man we met, was to my surprise, out of all adjectives, "sexy". Truthfully, in my eyes, he was down the opposite end of the spectrum. Now, this made me think. 'Sexy' must be different for every individual. Is there such a thing as 'universally attractive'? I had always assumed there was a universal sexy, a la Johnny Depp. But maybe it doesn't exist? So I thought to myself, what is sexy to me? And compared it with the 'universally attractive traits' noted by experts who studied people across cultures.

Experts do say, square jaw in men.
But I'm attracted to a narrow sharp jaw-line, or what I call a juvenile chin (Nay, Brad Pitt)
Experts say, facial symmetry.
But I like a little bit of asymmetry.
Experts say, indications of being bright-eyed, or wide-awake.
But I like tired-looking men. Puffy, eye bags, dark circles, sunken cheeks, the whole package. Very sexy and fatiqued.

My definition of sexy is:
Francisco Lachowski
Dan Kling
Gen Huismans
Yoochun Park 
Tired eyes
Piercing eyes (because they are tired and trying to focus)
Long, lean, limbs
Protruding adam's apple
Wit
Sharp jaw-line
Spiritual maturity
Humility
Charisma
British accent
Individuality

Below are my kind of sexy, long-limbed, sharp-jawed, charismatic, tired-looking men with beautiful adam's apples.

Do you believe certain traits are universally attractive?
What is your kind of sexy?

Monthly Recap: March '11

My new approach: Monthly highlights and just random things and stories that is quintessentially me so that I can laugh at myself or indulge in a little self-pity. 


Currently obsessed with: 
Macarons. If you've been following, you'd know.
Francisco Lachowski. Always have been and always will be. I am turned on by a 19-year-old, so what?
My thinning hair. I'm convinced there's no way I'm growing hair at a faster rate then I'm losing it.
Bow ties. Still on the hunt for a velvet one.

Music stuck on repeat:
Landon Pigg - Can't let go
JJ Heller - True Things
Kotaro Oshio - Twilight
Bill Evans Trio - My Foolish Heart
Colbie Caillat - Ces petite riens

Books read(ing):
Systematic Theology - Wayne Grudem

Photobooth.
Super close relationship with ma 'rents.
Rainy days.
