For me, Valentine’s Day is a quiet day spent shuttling my
children off to school, maybe a baggie of Valentines tucked into their
backpacks that we spent the previous evening shopping for and signing for their
classmates. It’s kind of a nice holiday
if it gets an appropriate celebration, which is to say if I get a nice card and
a little extra affection from my husband when he comes home from work, that’s
just fine with me. Oh, and wine. There should be wine.
I always get my husband a Valentine that expresses a
sentiment that matches whatever I am feeling at the time. One particularly playful year I got him a
corny card with a picture of a playing card that read “You’re the King of My
Heart.” Another year I got him an Elvis
card. Sometimes they are serious, if I can find one that expresses something that I would say to him. Not anything like “I could spend eternity
staring into the limpid pools of your eyes.
The world could fall away and I would willingly die in your able arms of
masculinity.”
Seriously. I'm not that romantic. First of all, I’d have to define ‘limpid’
and describe what is meant by ‘able arms of masculinity.’ It totally wouldn’t be worth it. My husband is a smart guy, but these
expressions would stump him and the moment would be lost.
Anyway, Valentine’s Day is fun to tell your loved ones how
much you love them, but what if your loved one was a celebrity? Here are seven ways I’d tell my favorite
celebrities how much I love thee. Or
thou. Whatever. Here we go.
Christian Bale: Oh Christian, your brooding, dark and
slightly menacing ways intrigue me. Come
to my house where we can talk about our future together and I can lose myself
in your crinkly smile. I promise not to
ask you to speak to me in your Batman voice.
In fact, please don’t.
Colin Firth: Colin, your vulnerability and humor set you apart
from the rest. Even though every time I
think of you I think of that guy from Downton Abbey, you will always be my
first English celebrity crush.
Adam Levine: Adam.
Just seeing you makes my heart skip a beat. Whatever you’re doing to appear hotter each
time I look at you, please don’t stop.
Forgive me for the time when I made fun of Moves Like Jagger because
Mick Jagger is as sexy as a lizard and his moves are surely terrible.
Zac Efron and Taylor Lautner: Dear Zac and Taylor, thank you for being over
18. It makes me feel better for thinking
about how pretty you are, especially since I still think of you as Troy and
Shark-Boy.
Andrew Garfield: Oh Andrew, your nerdiness and self-effacing ways charm me to no end. I will never forget how you handily made a movie about spiders and superheroes something that I would willingly watch with my children, and the mumbling that you did so effortlessly so we had to watch the one kissing scene over and over until we could understand what you were saying.
Jason Bateman: Jason, we go way back. I’ll never forget how you kept showing up in
random TV shows of my childhood, and how you came back to me as an adult with
my favorite kind of humor and wise-cracking sensibilities. You have aged well, and I hope that the fact
that I haven’t doesn’t deter you from spending time with me. Or us, as my husband loves you almost as much
as I do.
Be My
Valentine!
Love, Andrea
Love, Andrea

And what about ... what's that favorite comedian of mine again? Ryan who played in The Proposal and Just Friends? I love him.
ReplyDeleteRyan Reynolds. I thought of him too, but we just saw the Green Lantern, which ruined him a little for me.
DeleteHey Girl, what about Ryan Gosling??
ReplyDeleteI KNOW, right? Although Keith informed me that he has probably been warned to get a restraining order against me, so he wouldn't appreciate it as much as the others would.
Delete"As sexy as a lizard". Hahahaha. That is hilarious. Every and anytime I see him I am stunned into silence by how small of a man he is. Stature and build! It's a little creepy. Loved the post!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I missed MJ's sexy years, evidently. Although I was always more of a Beatles fan anyway.
DeleteThis was fun to read ... although I admit a little shamefully, that I don't know who those men are - except for Zac Efron and Jason Bateman.
ReplyDeleteThank you - it's my opinion that most women love Zac Efron but are not quite sure if it's legal to do so.
DeleteOh Jason, yes. Adam too... Though Jagger used to be a sex symbol when he was MUCH younger.
ReplyDeleteI also wrote valentines to my fav celebs :)
There's actually a very beautiful picture of Mick taken by David Bailey when he was about 20. If I was 70, I'd totally be into him.
Delete*Totally* with you on the Jason Bateman front. He might have been my first ever crush...I watched "The Hogan Family" religiously...
ReplyDelete*clickin in from MamaKat*
Better Jason Bateman than Scott Baio, that's what I always say.
DeleteThanks for having my back!
That part about Jagger is pretty funny. I've always taken that song to mean that Mick has a very distinctive way of moving that is entirely his own, and quite frankly, he moves pretty well for a guy who is going to be 70 years old this year!
ReplyDeleteColin Firth is a cutie and so talented. He does remind me of Hugh Bonneville, though, or is it the other way around?
Thanks for visiting my blog!
You are right about MJ being able to move around so well. When I am an elderly person I hope to also be rocking at least half as hard as he does. But in private, of course.
DeleteAnd thank you for backing me up on the Colin/Hugh similarity! Colin got me through my kids Nanny McPhee days.
It could be a troublesome choice when somebody who is imperative to us wants to meet a superstar; their supervisors normally abstain from conferring the big name to such demands.
