rodney mckay, thighs, etc

[cimorene]

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

powerful thighs

[devon.livejournal.com]

There's a special place in my heart (or some other part, I'm not sure) for powerful thighs, whether they're on men or women. One of my sexiest bfs was short and funny-looking with a pot-belly, but he had *powerful thighs*. Big muscles look even bigger on short guys! ;D

(or some other part, I'm not sure)

ahahhahaha! yes.

big muscles do look bigger on small guys, in comparison, but on tall guys--provided they, you know, scale up somewhat--the overall impression is even, well, bigger. and i find that bulging, body-builder type really gross, i just. can't help going "ooh shoulders, ooh, thighs."

Someone recently asked if I had a "type" for men, and while I don't exclusively go for one, I was trying to explain the type of guy I've historically gone for. I kept saying things like "broad, but not fat, just wide, you know..." I think what I meant was shoulders!

yeah, i think shoulders are like 70% responsible (or more) for the appearance of breadth in any one person, regardless of the sizes of waist and hips and things like that.

mmmh. his shoulders.
