My Laminated List

Ok, so everyone's familiar with the "laminated list," right? It's the list of 5 men (or women) that you can have sex with and your boyfriend/husband/life partner can't get mad. Everyone has one of those, right? I'm pretty sure it's been around since the dawn of time, but I think F.R.I.E.N.D.S. and Isabella Rossellini brought it back to popularity in the '90s. Everyone remember? Ross took her off his list because she was "too international" but then met her in Central Perk?

I have a very clear picture of my "five" because we talk about our lists at work all the time. I'm pretty sure it's a job requirement to have a list. It might be in the manual. Whenever we get new employees, we make them tell us their list. For those of you who are unfamiliar, I work at a law firm where our sexual harrassment policy consists of the following: if you feel you have been harrassed, you may report it to management and you are entitled to the drink of your choice, with a value of up to $5. This is a slight change from our previous sexual harrassment policy which was: If you don't like it, you can leave. We also talk about our "Gay for a Day" lists, but that's really another post.

Anyway...we could make an entire list out of the Men of Twilight. First, there's Rob...obviously. Perfect, tousled Rob. Mmmmmmm.

Then there's Taylor. (And for any of you who are counting, he will no longer be jailbait in exactly 9 days.) Wet T-shirt contest, anyone? PICK ME, PICK ME! RAWR!Next, we have PFatch. I'm sorry, that man is hella sexxy...when he's a brunette. The blond hair just doesn't do it for me. Jennie Garth is one lucky bitch. Oh, and beautiful, beefy Kellan! I'm not sure he's been able to *ahem* flex his muscles in the Twilight Saga. I hope he'll be able to show us what he's got (oh God, please let him show us what he's got!) sometime soon.

Even Jackson is adorable. Hot? Maybe not. But he's the kind of guy you'd want to invite to your BBQ and hope maybe he was the last one to leave at the end of the night and then maybe you could see how that plays out.... Now, I have to be honest. None of the Men of Twilight have made my actual list. I love and appreciate men and it was very difficult for me to narrow it down to five. Previously, I had more than one list and they were separated by category. However, I have managed to whittle it down to my absolute FAVES. Here you go:

Josh Duhamel. He is my #1 - always #1. GOOD GOD no one deserves to be this hot. This man is perfection. He is literally the whole package for me. He's over 6' tall (he's 6'3" actually), he's got dark hair, beautiful teeth. Who wants to help me lynch Fergie?

Josh gets more than one photo 'cause he's my #1.

The other four, in no particular order, are as follows:

Clive Owen. The first time I saw this man was in the mini BMW movies. (Google them, you won't be sorry.) He was gorgeous and dangerous and I really wanted to ride in his backseat. He's a man's man, all rugged and handsome. And the accent doesn't hurt either.

Taye Diggs. I was a goner ever since I saw "How Stella Got Her Groove Back." Even though he's a "shortie" (any man under 6' is a shortie in my book - this is a very strict rule most of the time) his sheer hotness factor and the Jamaican accent he sported in "Stella" puts him on the list. Plus, he's multi-talented - he's been in Rent on Broadway. I like a man of many talents.

John Krasinski. OMG, is he not the ultimate boy-next-door? There is nothing about this man I don't like. I want to gobble up every little piece of him over and over and over. He is also well over 6' tall and has dark hair. (How did I end up marrying a blondie again?) Stupid Pam and John's real-life fiance, Emily Blunt.

Ian Somerhalder. I fell in love with him when he was Boone in LOST (seriously, just the name is sexy) but then they killed him off and I was pissed! But now I have him every Thursday night as naughty vampire Damon Salvatore. He is BY FAR the highlight of "Vampire Diaries."
He's baaaaad and I like it. He looks like Rob Lowe in his prime, and I like that too. Another "shortie." However...LOOK AT HIM! He gets a pass. That's it. That's my five. All of them (except Ian) are either married or engaged, so hopefully I'm on their list too.

Ok, ladies...your turn! Gimme your 5!
