Do real boys stand a chance anymore?

It seems, men are no longer competing with each other at the gym or in the pub or even in the magazines. These days, men are competing against an unbeatable foe. The captivating and undeniable allure of the supernatural.

More and more often now the media is being saturated with sexy supernatural beings that are just familiar enough to become unavoidable objects of desire.

Men are often accused of wanting what they can't have. But ladies, so are we. So show us a buffed up, blood sucking vampire with his shirt off and we will go weak.













A fine example being Vampire Diaries hotties, Paul Wesley and Ian Somerhalder. Both BAMFs and both very sexy. Because they're vampires? I don't remember falling about over Boone when I watched Lost. (But my, Ian Somerhalder... rawr)

Both, unfortunately, off the market. Paul's married and Ian's banging cast member Nina. Lucky thing she is.


Another example of supernatural temptations is, of course, a fan girl favourite: R-Pattz as Edward Cullen.

R-Pattz isn't conventionally sexy but, oddly enough, that seems to make him more attractive. Maybe it's the good, old English charm. The best of us have it. ;)

Or show us a sparkling fairy and we'll go gaga!

Edward Cullen may be a 'sparkling fairy', but I definitely would. Is it the pointy teeth? The super speed or the mighty strength? Whatever it is, it has fangirls with raging girlrections.

And for all the werewolf fans:

Another supernatural heart throb that make girls melt. 

Another English gent playing an American vamp (Is it because we're pale? Or because we have bad teeth?) is super sexy Stephen Moyer as southern vampire, Bill Compton.

There must be something to this theory because this is the third of our sexy vamps to get jiggy with their on-screen, human love interests. Anna Paquin (True Blood's favourite barmaid, Sookie Stackhouse) actually married Stephen Moyer after dating him from the pilot of the show! Obviously the actresses (Nina Dobrev, Kristen Stewart, Anna Paquin) that have worked alongside the vampires approve of their blood sucking ways. As long as it hits their delicate necks just so...

So, this story about a telepathic waitress falling in love with a vampire is a hit for a reason. Is this what we all want? A desire to be special, abnormal... in a good way. A cool, individualistic way. And a fashionably abnormal boyfriend to match? Or do we just want our other half to be 'special'?

This isn't all about vampires though, it's supernatural in general that gets us girls giddy.

Harry Potter and Ron Weasley have an army of fangirls, each and every one dying to be the next Mrs Radcliffe and Mrs Grint. Hell, even Longbottom has fangirls screaming since he cut Nagini's head off! (And a lot of ladies a loving a bit of the Draco.)

So, is it just because Felton and the gang can wave their wands just right? Or have they earned the right to be sexy without magic now?

(And lot of boys want to do despicable things to Emma Watson but I doubt magic has anything to do with that.)

And I know that Snape has some fans that would like to ring-a-ling his ding-a-ling.

This fascination isn't exactly new (I know my mum REALLY fancied Keifer Sutherland in The Lost Boys... and still does now.) Lord of the Rings fangirls (and boys) will still re-watch over and over just to see Legolas and Aragorn. And I don't blame them!

And for the girlies out there like me that just love gaming, there are even sexy aliens out there. Bioware doesn't just produce amazing RPGs, they seem to produce a shed load of fangirls dedicated to their 'romancable'.

The game developers of Bioware seem to have recognised that there are a lot of girl gamers out there and they sure do know what we like. After polls and extensive surveys, the developers offer some tasty man meat.

My personal favourite of their games is, undoubtedly, Mass Effect 2. And the reason, shallow as it might be, is probably a very fine male alien.

Mmmm....

Thane Krios is an assassin, an alien, and a spiritual, widower with baggage (unruly son, impending death). But he is GORGEOUS! And many a fangirl cannot get enough.


However, if this alien is not to your liking, in the same game they offer a more foreign in appearance but more readily available Garrus Vakarian:

He doesn't do it for me but there are thousands of fangirls that want to bang this sniper!

So, is it supernatural or just extraordinary? Something a bit out of the norm. Maybe we're all bored and looking for something exciting to fantasise about on the bus. There has to be a reason for the thousands of fan fiction dedicated to people's favourite aliens/vampires/werewolves/wizards.

Speaking of which, I think I'll get back to my fantasy relationship right now...

The Sweet Final of Gossip Girl Season 4

I know I'm a bit late and that Gossip Girl season four finished weeks ago, but what can I say? I was hoarding episodes like a hungry hamster, storing nutritious, delightful Upper East Side scandals for the long summer months when we are denied such follies.

So, it was only last night that I, finally, saw the 22nd episode of this wonderful series. And it was so romantic, I nearly cried. (And it was only 'nearly' because my cynical boyfriend was in the room and he would have mocked me for developing such a keen interest in false realities.)

I love each and all characters of GG, even the villians, if they are portrayed well. Like Georgina, for example. You just know she'll be back causing trouble with this Charlie/Ivy character and I, for one, cannot wait. Georgina is a fantastic character who always gets a laugh from me.

However entertaining Georgina is though, she's not very romantic. I imagine her role will have repercussions on one relationship, but it won't be direct. If she does help Charlie/Ivy with a wildly implausible, and thus entertaining, scheme, she'll likely use it to her own advantage. Somehow informing either Dan or Serena, consequently bringing them back together. For what is Gossip Girl without a Darena sub plot?

Back to the season finale, every bodies favourite Queen B was in demand. This post is written with bias as Blair Waldorf happens to be my favourite character.

So, who is your favourite B coalition? Dair? Chair? ...'Blouis'? That one doesn't sound as good. But that doesn't mean they don't look good.

They look fabulous. Blair has always wanted to be a princess. Marrying into royalty would have been her natural path in life, surely?

But then there's Chuck. Chuck has, without a doubt, thrown Blair's life out of whack. Completely off balance. In a most addictive fashion. Key words as Blair loves fashion and Chuck is a sucker for addiction. (Foreshadowing: a future storyline? Hardcore addiction for old school Chuck? Nah, I think he's matured...)

With Chuck blessing, only Blair's dreams of Mr Bass can get in the way. Right?

Or not. Dan's book from Brooklyn to the Upper East Side favoured only Miss Waldorf. A princess does loved to be favoured. Can Dan take our soon-to-be proncesses heart?

They have an odd chemistry, concocted from similar interests and a silent resentment of Serena Van Der Woodsen. Their love would be so easy. Spending days on end learning and conquering their own mislead limitations. Being together alone would break a taboo that could be irrestible... But could Blair ever truly 'slum it' with a boy from Brooklyn? Maybe. Especially now that he's a well known author that lives on the Upper East.


Who knows? That's the least of our worries, really. The main question on everybodies lips:

Who's the mummy? (And subsequently, who's the daddy?)

Vancouver Riots' 'Kissing Couple'

 

Love caught in the moment or attention seeking...

Lily's No Longer Allen

Being the Twitter entity that she is, Lily Rose Allen showcased her married name on her homepage. Welcome to the mad house Mrs L R Cooper.

I have admired her commitment to complying with matrimonial tradition despite the attention and intrusion of the media. Ms Allen has always been known to go against the media grain, in seemingly every aspect of her life.

If we take a look at other 'celebrities' similar to Lily Allen, there are obvious differences:

One of Lily Allen's previous media rivals, Cheryl Cole, married famous footballer and now well known love rat: Ashley Cole. When Ms Cole married said love rat, the couple sold the rights to their wedding photographs to Ok! magazine, reportedly worth £1 million. They then continued to appear together in several magazine deals and many a photoshoot.

Lily has married Mr Sam Cooper, a builder and 'non-entity'. The only pictures in the press were stolen snaps from a few lucky papos. And I can only imagine Lily would prefer to carry out her wedded bliss with as much privacy as possible.

Now, I have absolutely nothing wring with Cheryl Cole. I think she is beautiful, of course, as a nation's sweetheart deservedly should be. But, as she has learnt the hard way, the limelight isn't the best place for all affairs. Key word.

Lily's wedding was a small, closed ceremony in Gloucestershire and the after party was held in her own back garden. There were no magazine deals and the paparazzi were not welcome.

My favourite part of the reception however was the 'red phone box full of beer, a Pimms stand, a cupcake stall and a hog roast.' This is exactly want I want. With the addition of some cider in that there phone box.

The new Ms Cooper looked stunning in her Manivet, vintage style dress and in some pictures you can even see the little bump that made that day even more special.

I wish them all the best in married life and with their little bundle of joy that's on the way.
