So once again Mandi took off with that man and left me here all alone. Sad and Lonely. All alone.
SOB
But that’s okay because the top ten is now ALL MINE!! BAWAHAHAHAHAHAHA
*clears throat*
BACON!!!!!
10. Praise…BACON!! Did you all know there is a church of bacon? Me neither. The United Church of Bacon. A real live honest to God church based in Las Vegas, NV. If I hit RT2016 I am definitely going here. Founded by John Whiteside, he wanted to address and protest the automatic respect and special privileges given to religions. You can get married by bacon. Receive communion with bacon. There is even a store where you can buy bacon related items to wear to service at the bacon church. I can’t even…
9. I’m a huge fan of Kele Moon and her Untamed Hearts series (a spin off of her Battered Hearts series). Recently she posted an exclusive excerpt from the upcoming third book in her Untamed Hearts series-The Enforcer-at Tart Sweet. The Enforcer is Tino’s book and promises to be a wild, emotional, heartwrenching ride. I for one can’t wait!
You can read the exclusive excerpt HERE.
8. I’m pretty sure we’ve all seen this a million times but who cares!! The song…the man…the videography…ZOMG!
7. Speaking of sexy men, Mandi brought this to my attention. According to Buzzfeed, there is a hottie restaurant cook in Taiwan whose bean curds bring ALL the women to his yard. Rumors say he’s the shop owners son but further investigation hints he may be a promo model. Frankly, who cares? Look at those ABs! I suddenly have a craving for bean curds. I wonder what Expedia is charging for a round trip to Taiwan these days? You can see more of this sexy bean curd seller HERE .
AND MORE SEXY MEN!!

6. The male model pictured above is BT Urruela. I recently ran across him while stalking, I mean looking, through Michael Stokes’ facebook page. Michael Stokes is a photographer whose subjects are the mother load of hot, yummy, OMG, sexy ,men. WHEW. I adore his photography and follow him both on twitter and facebook. Side note: Harper Sloan’s Bleeding Love releases July 15.
5. It’s bad enough when your friends and family gives you crap…but now your alcoholic beverages can too? Where’s the love? VinePair decided to make up some imaginary wine labels that take no prisoners and give it to the drinks straight. I need these ASAP. Someone needs to make this a reality.
4. Author Kristen Callihan is so awesome. Not only is she a muy talented writer but all you have to do is ASK and she will cough up some goodies for you. Recently someone asked for a teaser from The Game Plan (3rd book in her NA Game On series) and this was her response:
Kristen Callihan- Someone asked for a teaser from The Game Plan. Since it IS Teaser Tuesday… Here you go.
The guys discover that Dex posed nude for a calendar photo:
“It’s a good pic,” I say absently.
Drew smirks.
And I glare. “What? It has artistic merit.”
“It’s man candy,” Johnson says. “Look at you, all thoughtfully flexing your muscles. Did you flex your ass too?”
“Nothing to flex. That’s just my natural form.” I give him a look. “Jealous?”
Rolondo laughs. “Yeah he is.” He gestures to the screen. “I’m gonna have mine blown up and hung over my bed.”
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!! DEXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX!!!! NUDE CALENDAR MODELINGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!
The Game Plan has no cover, blurb, or release date as of yet but we do know it will release this year.
3. This is in no way related to publishing, book, or sexy anything but it has me completely fascinated. The story goes as such. A couple buys a $1.3 million dollar home in N.J (all I can say to that is WHY?) only to then receive creepy letters from someone who refers to them self as The Watcher. *cues theme from The Exorcist* From Gawker…CBS New York reports that the packages are from someone who claims the six-bedroom home “has been the subject of my family for decades.” “I have been put in charge of watching and waiting for its second coming,” one of the letters reportedly reads. Two others allegedly refer to the couple’s young children. “I am pleased to know your names now, and the name of the young blood you have brought to me,” one reportedly says. Another asks, “Have they found out what’s in the walls yet?” OMG WTH IS IN THE WALLS?!?!? Gawker further reports the couple has filed a lawsuit against the previous owners, who they claim failed to inform them about “the Watcher” before the sale, despite being aware of the individual. YIKES! You can read more about it HERE.
2. Are you a fan of Kristen Ashley? I am! Are you a fan of MC romances? I am! *group hug* Based on her recent release, Ride Steady, (you can read my review HERE), Ashley is addressing the abuse her hero suffered and raising awareness by supporting the B.A.C.A-Bikers Against Child Abuse http://bacaworld.org/. You can read about her meeting with Nytro, the PR and Events Co-ordinator for the Maricopa County chapter of B.A.C.A, HERE. As Ashley states in her post, not everyone gets a happy ending and it takes groups like the B.A.C.A and people like us to step up and help offer a safe place and helping hand to those in need. Ashley is having made Property of (you pick the Chaos MC member you love) t-shirts made with 20% of the profits going to the Maricopa County B.A.C.A chapter. It’s a great cause and some really cool t shirts. Below are links to the T shirts:

1. And now to end the Top Ten on a good note. Today the United States Supreme Court ruled marriage equality for all! WOOOOHOOOO.
“No union is more profound than marriage, for it embodies the highest ideals of love, fidelity, devotion, sacrifice, and family,” Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote for the majority. “In forming a marital union, two people become something greater than once they were. As some of the petitioners in these cases demonstrate, marriage embodies a love that may endure even past death. It would misunderstand these men and women to say they disrespect the idea of marriage. Their plea is that they do respect it, respect it so deeply that they seek to find its fulfillment for themselves. Their hope is not to be condemned to live in loneliness, excluded from one of civilization’s oldest institutions. They ask for equal dignity in the eyes of the law. The Constitution grants them that right.”
This is truly a momentous occasion and here at Smexy we send all our love and congrats to all those getting married and to those whose marriages are now legal in all 50 states!
I have watched that Sergei video waaaaaaaaayyyy too many times. Well done including it in the Top 10 :P :P :P
I love that man. And the song. And the man. lol
Just want to mention that SOME of us are still waiting for Ride Steady….
4 more days!
Tori, fantastic top 10! I too have watched #8 mucho mucho times!!!! I am also a huge fan of Michael Stokes and all his yummy photos especially the ones with vets. Gorgeous! Number 3 is just off the charts S.C.A.R.Y. Previous owners suck…but is this a case of caveat emptor?
Thanks, H!
Sergi=YUM!!
All I want to know is WHAT IS IN THE WALLS????
Great top ten Tori. The SCOTUS was the bestest thing ever.
You mentioned the photography Michael Stokes and I have to say anyone who like beautiful pictures of sexy men should follow him stat.
Thank you. I love Stokes. LOVE LOVE LOVE
I really need to get on reading Kristen Ashley, especially since I love MC romances.
Tori, excellent Top 10!
Yes, yes I did know there is a Church of Bacon! As a matter of fact, my hubs is an ordained minister of the United Church of Bacon. So if anyone is looking to get hitched while on the Big Island of Hawaii… Seriously.
Love Kele Moon’s series and am anxiously awaiting Tino’s story.
Ditto for KA’s Chaos series. I’ve been debating for days and still can’t make up my mind which t-shirt to buy!
Kristen Callihan’s Game On series totally rocks.
And, I’m completely creeped out by #3.
I will repeat…Excellent Top 10!!
I can’t believe you never told me abt the bacon church, Deb. You need to step up your game lol
Clearly, right? Lol I thought my hubs was joking. He discovered it while listening to Penn Jillette’s (of Penn & Teller) podcasts, Sunday School. Penn is the official Sunday school teacher. Lol. So now hubs does some volunteer legal advising for them
That is so cool. I’m getting a t shirt from there because…PRAISE BACON!
LOL. Praise the Lard and pass the Bacon.
Love that video :) Want the Michael Stokes book but hubby has forbidden me :(
Its been a looong time since vintage KA so I live in hope of this new release….
Well done on the Top Ten Tori
I’m getting the book regardless.
Amazing top ten Tori! A church for Bacon! Only in the US …
But the top 1 is amazing, and I am glad for those American couples. It has been legal here in Holland for many years now.
America…always a day late and a dollar short. Lol
mmmm – look at THAT man!! ;)
I’m in the mood for bean curds.
And church.
Good work just keep it up. Thanks
