Duodecimal: 12 Hunks of Christmas Candy from the Southern Fried Chicas
Friday, December 21, 2007 10:00
The authors over at Southern Fried Chicas (Tanya Holmes, Vanessa Jaye, Denise McDonald, Michelle Miles, Amie Stuart, and Raine Weaver) share their pick for the 12 Hunks of Christmas…
![]()
Responsible parties listed after the hunkster’s name – so you know who to blame…
12 Hunks We Want To Find Wrapped Under Our Trees
1. Gerard Butler – 6’2″ (actor, singer, Scotsman, Spartan, fantasy) (Tanya)
2. Clive Owen – 6’2.5″ (actor, green-eyed wonderman, The Voice) (Tanya)
3. George Clooney – 5’10.5″ (actor, bachelor, party boy) (Raine)
4. Denzel Washington – 6’0.5″ (actor x 100, dad x 4) (Raine)
5. Gary Allan – 5’11″ (singer, musician, survivor) (Amie)
6. Darren Sharper – 6’2″ (pro athlete) (Amie)
[Ed.: With a face and body like his (the man is seriously beautiful), he should get some publicity photos done. All I can find are team pics or paparazzi, and that's no fun!]
7. Boris Kodjoe – 6’2.5″ (actor, Austrian, linguist) (Vanessa)
[Ed.: Now, see. This guy knows how to do it! Check this one out - just a pretty photo.]
8. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson – 6’4″ (actor, former wrestler, recently divorced) (Vanessa)
[Ed.: Okay so sue me. I couldn't pick which one! so I used both pics. I want The Rock to play 'Wrath' in a movie adaption of the BDB.]
9. Taye Diggs – 5’10″ (actor, dazzling smile, Stella’s groove) (Michelle)
10. Alex O’Loughlin – 6’2″ (actor, Aussie, closet vampire) (Michelle)
11. Colin Firth – 6’1.5″ (actor, Mr. Darcy) (Dennie)
12. David Conrad – 6’1″ (actor, Ivy Leaguer, arm candy) (Dennie)
[Ed.: This guy is totally wasted on Jennifer Love Hewitt in that ghost show.]
Who’s your pick for a pressie?

I must be one of the only romance readers who doesn’t get the Colin Firth thing…
Who is 7, he is yummy. So is 10 I really should start watching more tv.
I have never big much on The Rock but he would make a good Wrath. Taye would be a good brother too. And if she didn’t use the pic you sent it isn’t my fault! I SENT them to her.

Denzel has always melted my butter in a major way. I go gooey when he smiles.
Gerard Butler is just oh so sexy.
I’d also like to add Christian Bale to the list. Yummmmmy intense.

I’d like to also direct your attention to a most swoon inducing advent calendar. I’ve been a member of a group on the Internet called the Dirty Old Ladies (DOLs) since 1998. Each Christmas we count down the days with a calendar to please everyone. Go to http://www.dolshouse.com and enjoy!

I’d like to hang out with Gerard because I’ve heard he’s truly funny. As for staring, there is just something about the Rock. Even my mom thinks so. *wg*

Sybil……no you’re not!!!!!!!
And thanks for inviting us. We had so much fun coming up with this list. On Monday at SFC I’m going to post a few of my personal picks that didn’t make it.
PS Sorry for the email freak out. Not sure what happened.
PSS Couldn’t you just lick Darren’s dimples?
And I won’t even tell you what I want to do to Gary Allan’s stubble. *wipes drool from chin*

I can’t quite picture the Rock as Wrath but maybe Rehvenge?

This is the finest list of men I’ve ever seen. MmMmMmM!
Alex O’Loughlin is a total hottie. Be still my heart!
We did have a blast – I’m going to post a few of mine that didn’t make it on Thursday, too.

I haven’t spoken to her today but I figured she would either forget to look or just decide she needed to look too… just to be sure
I tells yah Gwen is having too much fun looking for pics of men.

I agree with Gary Allan, The Rock (what IS it about that man??!!), and Boris Kodkjoe. I’d like to add: Joaquin Phoenix and Mark Wahlberg.
And Sybil you are def. not the only romance reader that does not get the Colin Firth thing~because I sure don’t either!! *shrugs* he just doesn’t do it for me.

Ahhh… what a nice treat this post is.
Speaking of Gerard Butler, I just saw P.S. I Love You and it (and he) is wonderful.
P.S… bring a hankie.

Gerard Butler MMMmmmmmm
I’d like to pipe in with more examples of great hunks
Nathan Fillion – Loved him in Firefly and Serentity
Ben Browder- his eyes *drools*
Wentworth Miller- That man is bootiful.
David Tennant- I just love him in Doctor Who and he shows that geeks can be really sexy!
Okay I must stop and I realise that all my examples are from cult shows lol

Gary Alan, slurp! That’s some yummy man-meat right there.
Fab list, but like Syb, I don’t really understand the appeal of Colin Firth. He just doesn’t float my boat.

I like #12. And that’s about it.
Now when am I going to get a list of pretty, pretty, pretty guys around here? Surely, I can’t be alone in my tastes.

Not a fan of George Clooney at all, so I will swap him for Hill Harper (CSI: NY)
Never heard of Gary Allan, but he’s quite cute so I will hang on to him
Never heard of Darren Sharper, so I will swap him for Rodrigo Santoro (Charlie’s Angels 2/Love Actually)
Never heard of Boris Kodjoe, so I will swap him for Wentworth Miller (Prison Break)
Not a fan of The Rock, so I will swap him for Daniel Craig (Casino Royale)
Never heard of Alex O’Loughlin, so I will swap him for Jesse L Martin (Ally McBeal/Law and Order)

Mmmmmm, The Rock. I just love looking at that man! He is my pick for Zsadist from the BDB and also my pick for Ranger from the Stephanie Plum series. Yum!
