Dylan McDermott was in the room. I have loved Dylan McDermott forever. He is in possession of that easy kind of masculinity that is so attractive to me and yet scares the shit out of me. Why would butch men scare me? Well, honey, it was not exactly a picnic on the playground growing up. I have learned over the years that the only really frightening behavior with butch straight guys happens when they are in a pack. They are like wolves showing off for each other.
