Wide-On Of The Week: Andy Whitfield

Wide-On-noun-A slang term indicating a female's sexual interest in an attractive man wearing a cheesy period costume.

Ex: "That Andy Whitfield guy in "Spartacus: Blood and Sand" gives me a wide on even when he is covered with fake blood and wearing little more than a dirty looking thong held up with a leather belt."

Thank you to my friend Karen in Tallahassee for suggesting this week's "Wide-On" feature. Despite drooling over this show weekly, I had some sort of amnesia and passed right over this guy. By now you all know of my fascination for all things Roman, so what could be hotter than this latest costumed epic from Starz network?

I went through tons of pictures of Andy Whitfield, and though he is attractive in real life, he is WAY hotter in a faux gladiator outfit.

Which goes to show you that at any point, you can take an ordinary man, put him in a costume or give him an accent and he will automatically go up at least ten points on the hot meter.

Which explains the appeal of Colin Firth in a nutshell. I would pass him on the street and never look twice at him. At best he looks like a middle management account executive. But throw him in tight pants and a ruffled shirt and I am like "oh yeah, it's Mr. Darcy time."

I'll save him for another time though. Mr. Darcy, I mean Colin Firth, really needs his own "Wide-On" page. You know me and the entire British Empire. I can't resist them. Talk to me with a British (or Irish, Australian, New Zealand, South African, Welsh, Scottish) accent, even if it is totally faked, and my panties will hit the floor before the second pint.



Enough, I digress and have now traveled to TMI land. If by chance you are my step-children and reading this, please ignore the entire previous paragraph. All of the trips in my youth to your native land were spent going to tourist sites and not going to pubs to pick up random Englishmen for nefarious purposes. I loved Buckingham Palace, and the double decker buses and found that Stonehenge was very small in person right after I trekked through lots of sheep shit to get in front of the chain that surrounds it. Liberty prints rule, God Save the Queen, Harrods has a lovely food court and I still don't understand beans on toast for any meal, much less breakfast.

And what sort of fish is a kipper anyway?




Yes, he is a hottie. Lets hope his cancer treatments go well (he was just diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma--unpleasant, but treatable) and that he is able to film the second season that is in store for all of us. Personally, I can't wait for the first season to come out on DVD so that I can watch the actual story line and not just focus on all the sex scenes.

Have a great weekend and keep sending those suggestions in! And to my dear friend that suggested Ed Asner--it's not happening. That's your weird fantasy and no, I cannot find any naked pictures of him for you. Please come up with anyone better than that!

Love and new Chanel Glossimer 93 Paillettes lip gloss kisses, thanks to the GORGEOUS man at the Chanel counter that did my makeup today-here is the totally fabulous swatch and yes, I should have gotten the lipstick too, but I'll save that for next Monday's trip.


Have a fabulous weekend,

Lisa
