Smexy’s Top Ten–May 25th

May 25, 2012 by Mandi 53 Comments

 

10. Thor with his naughty brother and big hammer are joining us for the Top Ten today. Thanks Bells

 

qhuinn:

My take on the KEEP CALM poster for us overly too excited Qhuayers.
2013 seems so far away…
9. I am on full-time JR Ward stalking. She announced early this week that she has a cover and title for Qhuy’s book (out spring 2013) and that she will be posting it to her Facebook Page “soon.” How dare she tease us like that?! What color will the cover be? There has to be two men on there, right? What will the title be? Lover of All Peens? Lover Bend Over? No?

P.S.There is a ‘FuckYeahQhuay Tumblr! I’m in love. There are quotes, and Qhuay pics and hot men. Whoever writes this, I like.

P.P.S I won’t be home all day Friday, so if she announces cover/title, then this blurb is obviously out-dated. She’ll wait for me to get home, right?

 

Once Burned (Night Prince, #1)8. Jeaniene Frost is having a Goodreads Chat, tonight from 7-9pm EST to talk about her upcoming release, Once Burned. Go HERE for more information and to submit questions. I think I might have to attend!

 

Three Weddings and a Murder7. Tessa Dare, Leigh LaValle, Courtney Milan and Carey Baldwin have colloborated in an new anthology, Three Weddings and a Murder. All proceeds go to Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. It is $2.99 on Kindle.

 

Bared to You by Sylvia Day6. Sylvia Day has announced that Penguin will now be publishing Bared to You, as well as the next two books in the trilogy. Bared to You features a very tormented and rich hero, Gideon Cross (Oh I like him) and a heroine who has issues of her own. It is a Fifty-Shades-ish type book. I liked book one. (Thanks to H&H for the heads up)

5. Speaking of Fifty Shades, Andrew Shaffer has released the cover for his new parody, Fifty Shames of Earl Grey. The blurb:

Young, arrogant, tycoon Earl Grey seduces the naïve coed Anna Steal with his overpowering good looks and staggering amounts of money, but will she be able to get past his fifty shames, including shopping at Walmart on Saturdays, bondage with handcuffs, and his love of BDSM (Bards, Dragons, Sorcery, and Magick)? Or will his dark secrets and constant smirking drive her over the edge?

Giggle. Snort. I believe this is due out in early July.

 

4. I’m a huge fan of the Walking Dead. Season 3 has just started shooting. Remember the freaky way Season 2 ended, with that character that had the zombie pets? Her name is Michonne, a “sword swinging badass“. We will also meet The Governor and see the Prison. Oh my. I’m ready. (

P.S. Much of season two was lame. But at least they finally left the freaking farm!

P.P.S How adorable is Andrew Lincoln’s accent?

 

3. The CW Network has a new show coming this fall called Arrow. Watch the preview. Around the 45 second mark when he starts doing pull-ups I decided this is a must-see. *grins* Plus I love a guy with a bow and arrow (Hawkeye in the Avengers is m favorite!)

2. For some time now, I’ve had an obsession with Pitbull. I can’t help myself. I want him to record a romance audiobook. Yes.

And now, he is featured in Jennifer Lopez’s song, Dance Again, where in the background you can hear him whisper – ‘Yeah, make love to me.’ I think every song would benefit from Pit whispering this in the background.

Also, while googling trying to find this video, I found an older performance of him and Jennifer Lopez.

Oh Pit. His package really steals the show.

 

I don’t even know what to say. LOL

 

2A. Bonus #2. I saw this tweeted this morning and it screamed Top Ten. Every year the Naval Academy freshman climb a monument covered in lard half naked. Thank you Sarah from Smart Bitches for the tweet. For A LOT more pics, click HERE.

 

1. Well, now that we’ve all gotten way too intimate with Pitbull, it’s time to say goodbye. Have a great Memorial Day weekend. Eat lots of burgers and corn on the cob. I will be having vodka soaked gummi bears at our BBQ party. Recipe here. I’m excited. Happy Friday!

    Ha! I totally knew about vodka gummy bears, why? Because I come from the school of Skittles vodka… But don’t worry, I use Grey Goose to keep it classy ;)
