Smexy’s Top Ten – October 16

October 16, 2015 by Mandi 15 Comments

coffee10. Yesterday was National Red Wine Day. I hope you all celebrated appropriately.

minute9. I just finished The Fifteenth Minute by Sarina Bowen this morning. She is one of my favorite authors and in this one, as in her others, she brings up a difficult topic. This time the hero has been accused of non-consensual sex prior to the book starting. He is innocent, but the college may take action depending upon an upcoming hearing. I think the author handles this topic well and I like how it all plays out. Beyond that, we get Lianne’s story which I’ve been dying for. A famous actress, she struggles with fame. She is also shy and a computer nerd. I <3 her. DJ, the hero, is super sweet and their romance plays out nicely. It’s not as sexually passionate as some of her other work, but with the topic it covers, it made sense to downplay the sex somewhat. I enjoyed. Goodreads l Amazon

winter is coming8. For Game of Thrones fans and Ugly Christmas sweater fans. I love this. I might need to add this to my GoT collection. And by that I mean, I own one t-shirt with a picture of Khal Drogo and his mighty moobs.  Link.

levine7. I don’t watch The Voice, so this might not be new news to you, but OMG WHAT HAS ADAM LEVINE DONE??? I love a man with a shaved head – if he can pull it off. This. This makes my lady boner wilt.

 

chambong6. You know what we all need now to erase Baldie Levine from our memory? A CHAMBONG. That’s right – a Champagne Bong which will make your mouth happy and your friends jealous. It’s a real thing, it’s $25 and it just might change your life. Should I become a “Champs girl?” Move on from my boxed wine and start hitting the champs? Wait – can I drink my boxed red wine out of a ChamBong??? *head explodes*

pumpkin owl5. Look how cute this Owl Pumpkin is! And it looks pretty easy, right? You have to clean the pumpkin out from the bottom and hot glue sun flower seeds. I can do this! And that’s saying a lot because I can’t do many crafts. Instructions.

 

winter storm4. Here are your 2015-2016 Winter Storm Names. Not sure what the Weather Channel is going for here – Yolo??

This could also be a list of names in a future Motorcycle Club romance book, right?

 

bookmark13. No one here is a quitter, right? *wink* Link.

2. October 13th was the fourth anniversary of “Treat Yo Self” Day from my beloved Parks and Rec. So I will share my favorite clip ever. And remember folks, every day is Treat Yo Self day. I will treat myself tonight by consuming a Jolly Rancher martini. I know, sounds kinda gross, right? I had one last night and first – it tasted nothing like a Jolly Rancher (unless there are peach jolly ranchers??) and second, it was mighty tasty. It’s Vanilla Vodka, Peach Schnapps and a splash of lime juice. Treat Yo Self to one tonight!

1. It’s Friday. Happy day! My MIL is taking my kids to the movies this afternoon so I immediately called my girlfriend to go to the wine bar with me. Treat Yo Self bishes! *wink* It’s gonna get cold here on the east coast this weekend. I’m going to snuggle with my honey and read Harlot by Victoria Dahl. Have a great weekend everyone!

      Not to be completely shallow (but this is the top ten so shallow it is!), there has been maybe one or two pics where I thought he was hot but in general, no. So yeah. LOL

    Some people can totally rock the bald look but I don’t think Levine has the head shape for it. First the blond hair and now this, what will he do next?

    IS THAT LEVINE PICTURE EEAL???????? Omg his head looks like a blimp and his arm looks 1 foot long. NO.

    I just finished The Fiteenth Minute!!! I started getting VERY NERVOUS over how it was going to be handled, and once again, Sarina Bowen takes a subject that could bomb and handles it beautifully.

      ewwww – his arm does look weird!

      That was a tough subject matter – I like how she didn’t villainize the accuser – and I liked Lianne’s reaction to it all. She walked the line the right way for me

      (and did you see the end – new series with NHL players!)

    Yeah, that bald head does nothing for the lady boner. I watched some of the blind auditions and he was looking like his sexy self. In fact, I was not surprised in any way when a female 16 year old contestant, who got 4 chairs to turn and was CLEARLY a country singer, chose Adam Levine. Blake seems shocked to shit…but c’mon….16, girl, Adam…

    And the storm names…interesting. I had no idea they did that…pick them all in advance.
