i've been obsessing over the new scifi mag atlantis ad (posted by

ship_recs) for a couple of days, ever since i saw it.

i keep randomly inserting it at wholly inappropriate places in the conversation:

"it's too cold in the shade, and too hot in the sun."

"i hope we get to see a lot of mckay in that civilian outfit in season two of stargate: atlantis."

i keep clicking back and looking at it some more.

more specifically, i keep clicking back and looking at david hewlett's thigh some more.

wax_jism and i doubt that hewlett is aware he's become a sex object to a sizeable contingent of the show's fanbase, who talk excitedly about his nipples, and "big" hands, and "massive" thighs, and would much prefer mckay to sheppard for five minutes locked in a closet. "he's the kind of guy people love to hate," he said happily in an interview. heh. to hate, right.

"because," i said to wax and shiroi_chi, "most women can't help a certain attraction to broad shoulders and powerful thighs, even on pudgy men--,"

"but he's not that pudgy," wax interrupted, "it's just a little, just his waist--"

"yeah, he isn't, it's really just--, but it's like hormones, you can't help it because your ovaries go 'hey! look! powerful shoulders, powerful thighs! check it out!'"

"'powerful thighs'?" someone snorted.

"and okay, it's embarrassing that i just said 'powerful thighs', because yeah. but if you think of a synonym that doesn't come from a romance novel, let me know."

"hmm," said wax, "nope, mmm, nothing."

so, yeah. thighs. and at the moment--and i don't deny the possibility my brain my have been partially eaten by this picture--i'm finding the layered tshirts really hot too. um.

eta:

hollsk, authority on all things canadian, assures me that i am not, in fact hallucinating, that some people do look canadian and that hewlett is one of them. score! <3
