British Invasion

Wow. When my friends convinced me to start blogging, I didn't realize just how popular it was. I don't know why I thought I was the only one who had something to say. I guess everyone does. Let's just hope people think what I have to say is worth listening to.

So, I thought I'd choose something interesting for my first topic, and what could be more interesting than boys! lol. Ok, I don't mean to sound like a boy-crazy teenager (trust me, I'm not), but ladies of North America, we have been invaded! Don't get me wrong, I love my Nigerian brothers, but these skinny white British boys just keep on coming! Forget Jude Law and Orlando Bloom, that's old school. I'm talking Bin Bones and Spunk Ransom!

I had been hearing all the hoopla surrounding Twilight but I never really took notice. Then I saw the movie, and like my sister said, "mmm mmm mmm. I need an Edward Cullen in my life". I never thought the one thing I would want from a boy is for him to bite me, but that's what I think anytime I see Robert Pattinson (or Spunk Ransom as he prefers to be called). He can act, he can sing, and he can play the guitar and the piano. What's not to love?

And then, there is James McAvoy. Well, technically he's Scottish but you get what I mean. all join. He is the brooding, quiet stranger who isn't necessarily your cookie cut idea of handsome, but is shrouded in mystery. And you know girls love a little mystery in a man. Technically speaking, he's Edward Cullen brought to life. Minus the vampire part. Who else can make playing a goat in the Chronicles of Narnia look sexy?

Speaking of Chronicles of Narnia, I come to my personal favourite British export, the man I am going to marry (seriously), Ben Barnes aka Bin Bones aka Prince Caspian. Lawwd Jesus, I freeze and melt at the same time whenever I see this fellow. He is so beautiful, it's almost annoying. He's so beautiful, infact, that he was chosen for the role of Dorian Gray. Dorian Gray is the Oscar Wilde story about a man who was so handsome, that a wish was granted for him to never age so that he's beauty could be preserved. Now, you know they won't pick just anyone to play that part (can't wait for the movie, by the way). But it's not his beauty alone that makes him attractive. He is humble and talented. *sigh* You couldn't ask for more.

These three are just a few of good ole England's hot commodities (I didn't forget our favourite gossip guy, Ed Westwick and Bond Girl Gemma Arterton for the boys).

I don't know, maybe it's the accent. Maybe it's the hair. Maybe it's the fact that they all have beautiful voices (has anyone heard James McAvoy sing? And Bin Bones was in a boy band...thank God that didn't work out). Whatever it is, I better be careful, I just might move across the pond and get myself a white bloke!
