My husband's boss is Australia's answer to Viggo Mortenson

[Missy Vixen]

It's too late to call my girlfriends, so I'm in the Lounge. Please indulge me.

Have you ever met someone so handsome it's distracting to even speak with them? We had dinner tonight with my husband's boss and his girlfriend. The guy is GORGEOUS. He's early 40's, tall, blonde, blue-eyed, and bears more than a bit of resemblance to Mr. Mortenson. (I was joking with his girlfriend that since Mel Gibson has gotten such terrible publicity lately, maybe the boss should take over.) I'm not usually so overwhelmed with someone handsome, but truly, I was a bit tonguetied.

Wait till my girlfriends hear this one. I'm only sorry I have no photos.

1. Yes, I have seen such incredibly good-looking people

all I could do was stare in disbelief

[Missy Vixen]

2. His girlfriend is the coolest woman ever

or I would be horribly jealous ;-).

My husband seems to be taking this in stride. He's been living with Patrick Fitzgerald, now he's going to live with this, too ;-).

5. I know someone who saw John F/.Kennedy Jr in person

and that person said he was like a god. The most physically perfect human ever and you just gawked.

[SeattleGirl]

3. Yep

There was a guy at a construction company I used to have to deal with, when any of the workers in the company sustained an injury. I couldn't breath right, I got tongue tied, and it was very difficult to focus on what I was supposed to be doing. :blush:

[Missy Vixen]

4. Okay, SeattleGirl, this guy's in Bellevue

Maybe I should organize a field trip of DU women to go check him out.

Even more than his devastatingly good looks, he's funny as hell and charming. I think I need to go stand in a cold shower. :scared:

>it was very difficult to focus on what I was supposed to be doing.<

Been there. Done that ;-).

:loveya:
Julie

p.s. I hope everything's great for you!

[SeattleGirl]

6. Woohoo! We could do two for the price of one, 'cause the guy

I was talking about works in Bellevue! :evilgrin:

I'm doin' okay!

[Missy Vixen]

8. Yessss

We'd have to be all stealth-like.

I'm thinking it might be a distraction in the office if there are a bunch of women descending upon them to gaze on the boss ;-). Afterwards, we could go to Pagliacci and laugh ourselves into a coma.

10. Count me in!

7. this thread is useless without pics

:bounce:

[Missy Vixen]

9. I wish I had one

Woe is me. ("Hey, I think you're the cutest thing ever. May I take your picture?")

Julie

[wildhorses]

11. for posterity ---

or posterior motives...

:rofl:

[MissMillie]

32. Yep

can't say Viggo and not post a pic.

Oh... I guess that means I need to do this.

[murielm99]

12. Yes.

There is a guy here who is a farmer. He is the most handsome person I have ever met.

I got to know his wife and kids first. She is plain, but is personality-plus. She is one of those people that everyone likes instantly. She is a great mother, too.

I heard her talk about him, so I knew some things about him. I had to be careful not to drool and stare when I first met him.

I am used to him now, and know him as a person. He is just as nice as he is handsome. And he is a great dad.

[grace0418]

13. Yes, I have a family friend who is so gorgeous I have a hard time speaking to him.

He's really, really nice as well, and attempts to engage me in conversation but I have a hard time concentrating because he's so attractive. He looks bit like a really intelligent and well-spoken Keanu Reeves.

[grace0418]

14. Oh, yeah, I forgot another one. Our auto mechanic. We've been taking our cars

to him for years but my husband usually drops it off and I pick it up after hours, so I'd only ever spoken to him on the phone. Recently though, it was too cold for my husband to walk to work after dropping it off so I followed in our other car. When I walked in and our mechanic looked up at me, I almost fell over backwards. I *know* I audibly gasped. The rest of the day I kept having very naughty fantasies about him. He was HOT.

[Beausoir]

17. Wheee! That was a lovely little story! Lucky you.

[grace0418]

28. Thanks! Now whenever our car makes the slightest little squeak I very

generously offer to drop it off. ;)

[Missy Vixen]

20. Grace, do you live in the Seattle area?

>When I walked in and our mechanic looked up at me, I almost fell over backwards.<

We had a former neighbor in Redmond that was an auto mechanic, who is startlingly handsome. Even more than being good-looking, the guy must work out every minute he's not working at his job. The guy currently on "The Bachelor" has nothing on John. Of course, John had no idea how gorgeous he was, and how completely in love with him most of the women in the neighborhood were. ;-)

I'm happy to report (well, sort of) that he met someone very nice and got married a couple of years back.

Julie

[grace0418]

27. No, Chicago. And our mechanic's name is Peter. He's the kind of guy who

probably doesn't work out that much, but is probably pretty active and fit. He's very solid, very stereotypically manly. I imagine him having a very salt-of-the-earth wife and two or three sons. Of course, I have no idea. His eyes though, oy vey.

My husband mentioned the fact that I thought he was hot to one of his female coworkers who also takes her car there and she replied "Oh, yeah, verrrrry hot."

[Missy Vixen]

33. Grace, I love Chicago!

Of course, you all get to see America's Hottest Prosecutor on a regular basis, too.

Color me jealous! :woohoo:

Julie

[grace0418]

34. Well, I don't exactly get to see him around or anything. Just on the news

like everyone else. :)

But thanks. I love Chicago too, at least when it's not winter. Or summer. :)

[NewJeffCT]

15. So handsome they're distracting, no?

but, so beautiful... yes. I had to take some pictures of my wife down at work because I was too distracted by them to concentrate before.

Of course, I think men are generally more easily distracted by women than vice versa - don't some women complain about how guys will sometimes not look them in the eyes when speaking (meaning, they're looking 12-18" below the eyes....)

[Wetzelbill]

25. Jeff isn't lying either, he posted a pic of his wife once.....

that was absolutely amazing. One of the most beautiful women I have ever seen, including tv and magazines etc.

[Beausoir]

16. Oh YEAH! There is nothing that compares to a beautiful man. They take my breath away!

Course, when I meet them in real life, I always end up blushing. And looking. Look and blush.

[lildreamer316]

18. I got mine.

*boast* *preen* (I'm talking more about the face)




actually, there is a better photo from the shoot where he is looking straight at the camera and you can see what I mean, but I gotta get the scanner up.

[xchrom]

35. sigh...

[RevolutionaryActs]

19. This thread is useless without pictures..

and a sound bit. An Australian Viggo? Oh good lord!

[Missy Vixen]

21. Just the accent will slay you

I'm also thrilled to say that his girlfriend is a riot. She's the greatest. He told me last night that he could never do what he does if she wasn't in his life, because anywhere she is is "home" for him.

Awwww.
Julie

[RevolutionaryActs]

23. Awww, and he's sweet too?

Man, I need to get my butt to Australia, pick me up one of them. :rofl:

[jgraz]

22. I get that all the time

Don't worry, all we ultra-gorgeous men are used to that kind of attention.

[Missy Vixen]

24. And a Democrat, too?

>Don't worry, all we ultra-gorgeous men are used to that kind of attention.<

It's an embarrassment of riches!

Of course, all DU men are smoking hot, funny, charming and definitely worth drooling over! :woohoo:

Julie

[jgraz]

29. As are DU women

it's just lucky we only talk over the internetz, we'd never get any work done. :loveya:

[Wetzelbill]

26. yes, I have walked by a few women so gorgeous..

I actually said: "Wow" out loud.

This once I saw this woman in a department store in Seattle. She looked like a Latin Tyra Banks. She was unnerving. I kept moving out of the area where she was looking at clothes. She heard me say "Wow" when I first saw her. Seems like she wanted to talk, but I was so intimidated I kept moving out of the section then she'd follow a bit, then I'd move further away. I doubt I could have ever even said more than a few words to her.

I also saw this girl in Seattle who looked alot like the actress Leslie Bibb. I'd talk to her sometimes. Barely. I could hardly get a word out. For nearly a year I only knew her as "the Leslie Bibb Chick" or "LBC" for short, because I was too nervous to ever ask her name. The only way I found out is I happened to be working registering students for class at the Art Institute of Seattle, because people with my major (Video Production) would get plum jobs doing that because our Department head was in charge of hiring students to help out. I waited on her once. I was so flustered that I accidently gave her the wrong transcript or something like that.

I had a professor a few years ago who was so beautiful that I wrote on her evaluation under the comments section that "she was so beautiful it hurt to look at her." I was a stuttering moron in her presence all the time.

There is a girl in one of my classes now who is gorgeous. Well, actually many gorgeous girls in my classes, but this one truly stands out. She told a story about getting harassed by her boss, so I sent her a supportive email later that night. I admit, I totally wanted to be her knight in shining armor, but I genuinely was touched by her story. Well, anyway, we get to class the next week and as she's thanking me for my email, I wilted. She had this big smile and looked so effing stunning. I could barely put a sentence together. I was like Ray Liotta's character in Hannibal when he's getting his brains eaten. She made me completely incoherent.

I have more. I'm pretty easily reduced to nothing by beautiful women. :)

[RevolutionStartsNow]

30. Yep. Met one of those the other day. He was South African.

So maybe it's the accent. Piercing blue eyes, perfect features. Heck of a nice guy, too. It was a business meeting, I tried not to stare. :)

[Neshanic]

31. I have a straight buddy that looks like a large version of Nick Nolte

He played football. We will be in a public place and women will just stop and turn around. He's always being appraoched. I introduced him once to some friends and one woman just forgot her name. Totally blanked. Hysterical.
