Hot Men: The Men of Disney



WARNING: This post contains infantile fantasies of men that don't exist. Eye rolling and gagging may occur.

If you have read my past posts on Hot Men, you'll see a trend. The are mostly fictional. I think because they are imagined, they can reach a kind of unrealistic perfection that can only occur in our minds. The Men of Disney are princes, ragamuffins, pirates and adventurers. Dangerous, chivalrous, exciting. Some wealthy, others lucky. All become noble and honourable by the end of their stories. And of course, they are all handsome in their own ways.

My favourites are currently John Smith, a good looking smart-ass (Pocohontas). Captain Shang, a disciplined soldier with a hot bod and martial arts training (Mulan). And Gaston, a complete asshole but I think he'd be fun for one night (Beauty and the Beast). Upon searching for pics to illustrate this post, I came upon some scintillating images from Deviant Art on the Men of Disney. Below I have posted a few choice pics. There are more out there by the same artist that you can find (Dr.Sweet, Frog Prince, William Turner, etc) if you curious to see their depictions. Who are your faves?

Restaurant Review: Frank @ the AGO



It's actually been awhile since I've been here but life gets in the way of blogging. :) The first visit to Frank was for Weekend Brunch right before going in to see the King Tut exhibit (which was somewhat disappointing). Now, I'm not a huge fan of pancakes, but these were the best pancakes ever. Thinking of them makes me crave pancakes. A heavenly, stack of fluffy buckwheat circles that absorbed the syrupy-fruity compote without being soggy. It was crowned with some whipped cream and a scattering of bacon lardons. I can't explain it. It was just sooo good.

Frank isn't by any means perfect but they certainly are high style with down home comfort favourites such as an up-scale shepard's pie. However, they do surprise pleasantly with such things as bacon-brittle a top a chocolate cake (I think that's what I had. Jennie, please correct me).

All in all, a wonderful experience to pair with an afternoon at the art gallery.

Taking on my class

Celestial Speedster alerted me to this time waster. Apparently, I could take on 15 wild, bloodthirsty 5 year olds...which is approximately one class. (I'm in the right profession).

3. People are no longer surprised that I'm a mother of two.
4. I drive an SUV.
5. I wear sensible shoes.
6. The anime posters I used for my cartooning club are over 10 years old. (Ranma)
7. The Time-Life books (about the supernatural) I used in my Boy's Reading Club are nearly 20 years old.
8. My Ryerson student teachers are 20 years old.
9. Their professor from Ryerson looks 18 years old.

Yikes. I'm going to take up knitting and adopting cats soon. Help!

Getting older...

Now that Bowie has turned 3, I'm realizing how much I am aging and becoming part of that un-hip group of adults detached from current culture. So here comes the list...You Know You are Getting Older When:
1. YOUR music is now considered CLASSIC rock.
2. YOUR favourite movies are now considered CULT CLASSICS.
3. You can't bring yourself to say, "That's SICK." unless it's actually gross or disgusting.
4. The clothes you wore in junior high can now be bought in costume stores.
5. Most new pop music sounds terrible to you.
6. Atheletes, actors, and actresses seem ridiculously young to you.
7. You buy pants that flatten your tummy.
8. You buy tops that hide your tummy.
9. You sleep early and wake early.
10. When you say to your husband, "I'm looking older...." He replies, "Hmmm."
