Gentlemen of Intriguing Appearance: Mark Strong

So this week, we move from a celebration of high school crushes to a current infatuation. Folks, we have Mark Strong. I mean, of course he was going to appear here one day. Just look at him – as if he were created with a series of tick boxes set …

Gentlemen of Intriguing Appearance: Ron Perlman

Last week I was assured by a friend on Tumblr that I wasn’t alone in finding Ron Perlman appealing; apparently she has a photoset of him that has over 1000 reblogs/likes. So, I could just write this post with great confidence extolling his virtues and not worry that some people …

Gentlemen of Intriguing Appearance: Christoph Waltz

A brief pause this week from nostaliga. In part because I’m still trying to figure out how to explain my attraction to Ron Perlman in a way that people will understand (and not laugh. Well, you’ll still probably laugh…), but also it seems time, now that I’m in a place …

Gentlemen of Intriguing Appearance: Kevin Spacey

It was American Beauty that done it. Well, maybe it was The Usual Suspects (also starring last week’s Gentleman Gabriel Byrne – there are other reasons than the tight script and rug-from-under-you twist that I still love the film). Certainly, Suspects was the first thing I noticed him in, and …

Erotica writer Victoria Blisse is celebrating this week with the 100th Sunday Snog, a weekly blog hop where writers post links to a excerpt from one of their works containing a kiss. I’m joining in because hey, celebrations are fun, and also, Victoria is running a charity round in aid …

Gentlemen of Intriguing Appearance: Gabriel Byrne

[Did I mention last week with the post on Ralph Fiennes I was going to be doing a bit of a trip down memory lane for the next couple of weeks? Well, that's what's happening.] If Ralph Fiennes was an early crush of white hot lust, Gabriel Byrne was more …

Guest Post: Interview with Matthew Stillman for Genesis Deflowered

It is my great pleasure to present the following interview from Matthew Stillman for his erotic retelling of the King James version of the Book of Genesis, Genesis Deflowered. Wonderful, detailed and insightful responses. Over to you, Matthew! This kind of project has the potential to cause some controversy, considering …

Gentlemen of Intriguing Appearance: Ralph Fiennes

I’ve rarely gone for the sort of men (or indeed boys when I was younger) that everyone else seemed to go for. The idea that attraction was a deeply personal matter and not something that could (necessarily) be dictated by whatever Dolly magazine was one I happened upon early. Because …
