FH Blog Vote!!!

Ok Blog readers, let me start by saying I am sorry it took so long to post these results! I made the post below many late last year on a new blog I was going to start when my space ran out here. When I decided to remain here, I never went to the new blog to post this info here.

The results below are from a poll I ran last fall. The answers for this poll come form the November 2007-November 2008. It was odd reading the answers as already, so many of mine have changed. Some favorites I have are forever, some tend to change based on other factors. I am sure some of yours might have changed as well.

I always like to only post on subjects I like and men I enjoy and respect. I would not bother posting and researching things I do not love. That being said, it is obvious that I like some more than others, and you can see this by the amount of posts a man or subject might get, but ultimately I do like all that I post about.

That beings said, here are the results of the Blog Poll for the 2008 year. As promised I included my favorites as well!

My favorite part of the blog is getting feedback on what posts people are liking. I also enjoy when I feel like writing longer comments on subjects that interest me. I also really love giving actors, models and photographers not always covered by other sites and blogs a bit of attention. Although I do post on some big names, I also love to showcase lesser known artists, and men from around the globe. I also LOVE Blast from the past as this blog is not just for the latest hot hunk, but for the men, tv shows, movies and things I have enjoyed over the years.

Favorite Pictures of Lars Stephan

Ever since this blog began, I have gotten emails asking when I was going to post on Lars Stephan. I resisted because Lars is all over the net and love post pics that might now have been previously seen. Lars ended up coming in #2 as Favorite Hunks Blog readers all time fantasy hunk, so I thought I would post my favorite pictures of Lars.



Lars is a special guy and talented photographer, and his self portraits to me are special. They stand out above others due to what I feel they say about the male body and male sexuality. I am not going to write my exact feelings on his shots as I think a good piece of art, which I feel his photo's are, should speak for themselves, but they are amazing. Lars certainly taps into the emotions of those who view his shots. Lars use of body movement is something I really enjoy about his work and I am not a bit surprised Lars, above all the actors and models is a favorite. Check out more of Lars at his site HERE:

Marc Cherry: When A Man Loves/Hates A Woman. Goodbye Nicolette Sheridan

Well, Edie bit the dust on Desperate Housewives tonight, and with her death goes one of the shows brightest stars Nicolette Sheridan.

I enjoyed DH in season 1, but left due to the poor storytelling in season 2. I mean what show could hire one the world’s best actress’s, Alfre Woodard, and give her such horrible writing. Well, Marc Cherry could. As much as it is written what a great writer he is to women, he equally is their worst nightmare.



Strong Women do not go unpunished on DH. The whole premise of the first season was the murder of Mary Alice. The show began with the theme of making strong women pay, and it has not stopped going down that path. Yes of course many would argue that DH rejuvenated the careers of 3 former tv stars (Sheridan, Marcia Cross and Teri Hatcher), gave an up and coming soap star her prime time break (Eva Longoria) and brought the talents of Felicity Huffman to the masses. Cherry should be given for credit for this, but as many times as he writes them juicy material, he equally gives them frequent doses of pain and misery.




All four of the five main characters have been put through the ringer over and over again. As they are put through trauma after trauma, Cherry insists they all look sexy and fit and of course in high heels through it all. Marcia Cross’s Bree has lost a husband, alienated her kids and now is married to a klepto who previously tried to murder her neighbor. Susan, played by Teri Hatcher can never find happiness, and Cherry will ensure she remains unhappy until possibly the series final. Gabby played so brilliantly by Eva Longoria has lost her fortune, lost her looks briefly, lost her husband, then got him back only to have him go blind. (She also lost Jesse Metcalf, which is more than anyone should have to bear). Of course the strongest woman on the show, Lynette played by Felicity Huffman suffered the greatest trauma of them all. This strong woman was given cancer. I would have thought those kids of hers would have been enough misery for one woman to handle.



Then you factor in all the loonies and losers Cherry has had some great actress’s play. From Dixie Carter to Laurie Metcalf, Cherry hires the best, then makes them psychopaths or murderers and usually kills them off or ships them off to old folk homes or mental institutions. Marc Cherry even screwed up a guest shot by the great Carol Burnett by giving her basically nothing to do and nowhere to shine. (Law and Order SVU did it much better a couple of weeks ago).




If you watched China Beach, you would know Dana Delaney is one of tv’s best actress’s. If you watch DH you would not know this. She is given little to do, nothing to sink her teeth into. The fans of DH have certainly not taken to Dana or her character Katherine, no matter how Cherry tries to spin it. Not Dana’s fault by any means, it is all about the writing.



Now I might be wrong about it all, I mean I don’t know Cherry personally and I can see he does not give a lot of attention to the male’s on the show either, but the men of DH’s are supporting players to move along the storylines of the women. Cherry may like women very much, or he may hate them and not even know it. But one thing is for sure. Nicolette Sheridan was a standout on DH and Edie a fan favorite. Getting rid of her was a mistake. Cherry can claim money issues all he wants, but that is not the real reason. I mean the supporting players he claims to have saved like the gay couple next door are mere extra’s as written by Cherry and given next to nothing to do. Cherry wanted Sheridan out and he finally got his way. He has been treating the character and actress badly for years. Yes, Edie still gets the odd juicy scene but he writes her out of many scenes she should be in and she shines despite his writing not because of it. The last few seasons, Cherry has not even put Sheridan in the season final and usually puts her in some sort of life or death situation just to let her and the audience know that he has the power to dismiss her at any time. I am sure it is not Cherry who insists Sheridan be featured on magazine covers and award shows with the other 4. Cherry certainly didn't bother to add her to the opening pic to cement her role as one of the 5, he ensured it was always 4 plus 1 and the plus is always expendable. Edie paid by being electrocuted, a ghastly way to go. The final episode for Nicolette was actually a great one looking back on moments with the other women. Moments which only make me think of all the potential the character still had. There was so little with Edie and Bree and Edie and Lynette that could have been explored. Writers of hit shows never write out a main character, especially a fan favorite, that is if they see them as a main character. That is sadly not what Cherry felt. Cherry wanted Sheridan gone, that is one thing that is clear.





Goodbye Nicolette and goodbye Edie. I hate those who whine after a character is gone that they will not watch again, but that is how I feel right now. The 5 women of DH were full of beauty, heart, goodness and soul and you completed the group with spirit and without the spirit what is the point!
