5 Totally Acceptable Man Crushes

This is one of those posts that definitely needs some form of disclaimer before we get to the list:

I am not gay; I'm not even bi-sexual. I'm just a little bit camp sometimes. This list is being written for the sole purpose of writing about something bought up in conversation, as is the case with most of the things I write about.

Why the disclaimer? Because I just feel like it has to be made obvious to avoid the inevitable reaction amongst my friends. I know exactly what my friends are like, and know that this is likely to end up with a painful amount of unfunny jokes and literal references. Eg, "But you called them man crushes lololol!11!!1" Will a disclaimer stop this? Probably not, but it's worth a try.

Well as per, I'm having to say something along the lines of, "I'd best get back to the point I wanted to make, after going off on a slight tangent at the very beginning of the post."

I don't really see these people as people I fancy, or would fancy, as such, more people I admire the look of, and who I would quite like to look like. It's not like I'm thinking that I'd want to have sex with these guys or anything, probably not even if I was a girl because they're all pretty dirty looking. I should probably think of a better title for this blog, but I know nothing will come to me, so it'll do.

On to the list (in no particular order)

1. Ryan Jarman

Somehow, despite having what is probably one of the worst hairstyles to have ever existed, Ryan Jarman still somehow manages to be like the coolest guy ever. Plus, he's gettin' the bangs in with Kate Nash! What is there to not like about that? I think I could probably listen to him talking all day. I was on the phone to someone in an office the other day who sounded just like him and it was the most enjoyable phone conversation ever! (The fact that I don't like phone conversations is probably a neccessary component to this story). And the biggest point; he is in The bloody Cribs! THE CRIBS!!!!

2. Pete Doherty

From The Cribs, to The Libs. (Aren't I a smart cookie what does the rhyming and such?) Somehow, despite being an (ex?) junkie, Pete manages to make it looks good. He's like the grubbiest guy I've ever seen, but he somehow still has loads of girls wanting him. I just don't understand how it works! A reference that Riddles will probably really appreciate; "I'm stylin' pale," from Prangin' Out. Even though I looked up the lyrics and all the sites say "On Style Impaled." But I'm off the point again. Despite Pete being an all round dirty looking fellow, he somehow manages to look smart, and actually manages to make the smackhead 'prang' look good.

3. Luke Pasqualino (Freddie From Skins)

I think Freddie from Skins is possibly one of the best looking people ever made. I would literally kill to look like that guy. I mean I don't know what he dresses like outside of the show, but the fashion of the character is somehow really cool, but then again, all of the characters were dressed pretty cool. I think he definitely picked the wrong girl though. And the ending was all a little farfetched, but again, I'm off topic.

4. Stefan Abingdon

I don't what it is, but everything he touches seems to turn to gold. He's not conventionally good looking, in fact, he has a little bit of a dorky look about him, but there's something. I think it's more than likely the "cheeky chappy" appeal he seems to have. Admittedly, I'm not big on his fashion sense because it's a little bit too 'trendy' for my liking, all Nike hi-tops and those stupid flat caps. (I'm not discriminative, I hate all caps). I think his outrageous afro probably helps. All I know is that I definitely couldn't pull off his look.

5. Russel Brand/Noel Fielding

I know! I know! This is technically 6, but I figured I could get away with grouping these two together because they are mancrush-worthy for very similar reasons. I think the fact that they are both pretty eccentric (more so Noel Fielding) is the main thing. Oh, and the clothes. Noel Fielding, I think, has some of the best outfits ever. How does he get away with that stuff?! If I dressed like that, I'd probably get beaten up and left for dead. Plus they're both funny. What's more to want?
