Thinking Lady's Pinup - Number XV

Mike Rowe

This choice is a bit out of the ordinary for me. Mike Rowe is the All-American host of "Dirty Jobs" on The Discovery Channel, but he also possesses the voice of a god and the handsome, rugged face of a long-lost hometown hero. I guess he makes me think, sometimes. I have to watch The Discovery Channel for him, so it counts.

Thinking Lady's Pinup - Number XIV

Rufus Sewell

To be fair, I'm not sure how much "thinking" I put into this decision. I watched A Knight's Tale a few weeks ago and really liked him, and my viewing of Tristan and Isolde last night made me love him. From what I understand, he's done some Shakespeare and stuff, so I guess that means he's clever. Or at least literate. Certainly brooding. Absolutely handsome.

Thinking Lady's Pinup - Number XIII

Martin Freeman.

I don't give a fuck how popular the US version of "The Office" is, Tim will always, always be hotter than Jim. Plus, Martin Freeman used to be on "Da Ali G Show," and had a cameo in Shaun of the Dead. Try to be more awesome than that. You can't.

Thinking Lady's Pinup - Number XII

Jarvis Cocker. I love him deeply, if not eternally.

Actually, three Pulp CDs were just reissuesd, and it would probably be in your best interest to buy them for me. I'm not a total music nerd (I don't even own a record player), but I do have serious love and respect for this band, and it's important to me they have as much money as possible.

Thinking Lady's Pinup - Number XI

Aaron McGruder, creator of The Boondocks.

Thinking Lady's Pinup - Number X

Jeremy Irons

Still hot. Even now.

Thinking Lady's Pinup - Number IX

Ben Schott.

Yes, the Ben Schott, of miscellaneous fame. He makes me feel clever.

Thinking Lady's Pinup - Number VIII

New-ish "Daily Show" correspondent John Oliver - who are you and when shall we be married?

Thinking Lady's Pinup - Number VII

Oscar Wilde

What, can't a girl have a crush on a long-dead homosexual? You guys are seriously closed-minded. He's pretty much everything I want to be. I really should start taking pictures of myself lounging casually on furs and rugs. Delicious. Trash.

Thinking Lady's Pinup - Number VI

Hugh Laurie/Dr. Gregory House

This is a two-for-one...I adore the actor and his comedy, but I also love the character and his horrible, horrible attitude. And eyes. Nice big blue eyes.

Thinking Lady's Pinup - Number V

Simon Schama

Oh Simon, you make history feel so current.

Love you.

Thinking Lady's Pinup - Number IV

David Tennant

Well, not so much a "thinking" pinup as an "embarassed" one. I had a dream a few weeks ago that he and I were making out, and it was great. I wish I could have that dream again. I like him way too much. You know what, nevermind, forget I even brought it up.

Thinking Lady's Pinup - Number III

Alton Brown

He's so crafty! You think you're learning to cook, but it's actually all about science!

Thinking Lady's Pinup - Number II

Richard Dawkins

Atheists are totally hot.

Thinking Lady's Pinup - Number I

Dr. Sanjay Gupta
