My sometimes distressing taste in men

sparkindarknessOn a lighter note because I need a lighter note, Beloved has been poking me about my rather horrific taste in mancandy. Not people I'd necessarily want to let anywhere near my bed, but certainly guys I'd like to bask in the sexiness of.
I think beloved has a rather poor grasp of teh sexeh sometimes. It's not all about looks - or not all about the total looks. I can tend to focus on one feature and go "WHOA sexeh" while he blinks and orders me to a looney bin (eyes, I have a total weakness for eyes).
But he could not see how, say, Sir Ian McKellan or Christopher Lee could be sexy. (Seriously, I could listen to Christopher Lee talk allllllll day).
Then there's the most Senior of Senior partners. Now he is in his 70s, very very overweight and jowly. Not sexy? Hmmm, but think of this. The man is an OLD SCHOOL lawyer (he's a solicitor with higher rights, which we're glad of because him not speaking in a court room? Would be a crying waste), we're talking wigs, latin and rolling perferct English. His chief hobby? Amateur dramatics - Shakespearan. And not modern interpretations, we're talking perfectly enunciated monologues in a voice that can reach that back of the theatre like a tolling bell. When he is angry the walls shake and when he is happy or exultant people want to cheer.
This? Is sexy. Mind bogglingly, head splittingly sexy. I don't care what he looks like, that voice and presence can be nothing but sexy.
And then there's some that even I can't explain - like James Cosmo when he played an aging rock star in Midsomer Murders. Watching it my mind dinged sexy. My reasoned throughts (and Beloved) yell "Are you CRAZY?"

I sometimes wonder if Beloved is offended or finds his self esteem lowered by my strange strange tastes

Yep instant lust and I'd happily follow it into the depths of hell (or re-live 2008 :P), leave my hubby, or jump off a cliff if he asked. I have all but one of his cds, and anytime I need a pick me up out comes that ever so lovely knee melting, spine tingling voice. Course doesn't hurt that I have always had a thing for older men anyway....Sighhhhhhhh....Ok off to the cds now....LOL!
