Calendar of hot priests

It seems oh so wrong.

They should have named the calendar "Look but Don't Touch."

Michael Vartan as a priest was hot, but I still think Michael Vartan as an arrogant French chef was his best ever.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

After I shower and dress, I have to wrestle the cat into her carrier so I can bring her to PetSmart to get her claws trimmed. Whee.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I find that if I wait until the cat is relaxed and sleepy, I can "play" with their paws and sneak in a nail clip or two until they catch on. It helps to get them to flex the paw a couple of times so you can figure out which claws need it most and plan the sneak attack accordingly, since you're not going to get them all at one go.

Of course, we had a cat who objected to ANY touching of her paws. For her, we used the two person attack, where one person uses oven mitts to hold and a dishtowel over the head. I wish we'd had a video camera back then, because with the yowling you would have thought we were feeding her feet-first into a wood chipper.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

For her, we used the two person attack, where one person uses oven mitts to hold and a dishtowel over the head.

Hee!

I'm lucky in that Senor Sock tolerates me clipping his claws. He doesn't resist, except he waits patiently for me to lower my guard so he can escape....

What is even happening?

Model too fat?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That reminds me of this snopes page on a fake models-too-thin hoax email. Sure, the shopped pictures look shocking and horrible. But talk about undermining a message by pushing it too hard.

I'm looking at Jen's photos, and what strikes me first as "unacceptable" about her figure is her thighs. By which I mean they wouldn't peg me on a real person, but for TV and certainly modelling they're bigger than we're used to. From the hips up, though? She looks TV ready to me.

edit: ha! Just did the math and I weigh more than she does.

I'd like to see us get used to them.

I looked at that Snopes page. Yeah, talk about undermining the message.

Even if they seem bigger than we're used to on TV, they don't look that much bigger, and I've been pining for more curvy chicks on TV anyway. One of my favorite characters on Criminal Minds is Garcia, the curvy (even curvier than that model) brainy tech chick who commands the Internet and digs up all the information the BAU team needs for any given case. In particular, I like very much that they don't de-sexualize her. She's flirty, and others are flirty in return. And they do a good job of making her look attractive, I think.

More curvy chicks on TV now, please!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It's like Sara Ramirez -- she looks ENORMOUS on TV, but regular for real life.

I love Garcia and Shemar Moore on that show. Cute!
