SUN, SMOKE, DRINK!~IT'S THOSE DAMN BAD BOYS THAT WILL AGE YOU!
Meg here, hope everyone is having a great hump day! Last night I went out with a very nice man to dinner. He created the show Baywatch (red bathingsuits~sure you've heard of it.) Anyhow the subject got on Pamela Anderson. I told him that I sat next to Pamela Anderson for a minute at Christian Audigier's birthday party. He asked me how I thought she looked. I mulled it over in my head for a minute or two and said "Tired?
Yes, he said that loving bad boys will do that to you. I nodded in agreement (I don't even like bad boys~nevermind love them, but it seemed like the proper response.)
He called my bluff. He said "What bad boy rockers did you have on your wall as a teenager?"
I had to come clean. I don't even know the names of bad boy rockers from the early nineties so I told the truth.
"None, I had Doogie Howser on my wall. He was 16 years-old and a successful Dr! Can you imagine a Junior in highschool with such job stability!"
He seemed to not believe me so pressed on if there were any others.
"Hmm, yes, I did have Balthazar Getty from Lord Of The Flies on my wall as well. He was very cute and a decent actor but it was important he had a back-up plan so as a Getty I figured we'd never go hungry. I also used to make my girlfriends fill their tanks at The Getty station instead of The Mobil thinking I was helping him out."
I think at this point my dinner companion had decided he was with someone fit for the looney bin.
However, those tales are 100% true as any of my old friends reading this will tell you. A rockstar? My God. That meant to me instability, no savings and probably a motorcycle I woud be too afraid to get on.
As a funfact when I was about nineteen I did actually end up on a date with Balthazar Getty, even knowing what I know now about Neil Patrick Harris's orientation, a date with the TV Doctor would have gone much more swimmingly.
Too each their own I guess, tatoo's and strobing lights never have gotten my panties bunched up. Movie Stars, athletes, snore. Nothng is more exciting to me then hearing about the latest hostile takeover!
Being as cool and hip as this should keep me looking well-rested and young for a long time! Am I missing the boat? Is excitement worth extreme crow's feet?

I'm with you on this one, Meg. Bad boys are for five minutes. Cheif Financial Analysts with their own diversified portfolis, started at a young age...that's a lifetiem of enjoyable but stimulating stability! And provided this "type" has less of a penchant for substance abuse, you'll be able to spend your golden years conversing. Not wondering what the heck your own Ozzy Ozbourne was mumbling through his jaundiced pre-liver failure half-paralyzed face.

I always also liked the smart boys. My boyfriend is a college professor which is about as anti-bad boy as you can get. Although he was MY college professor when we met so I suppose that adds an element of scandal. But never did get the whole bad boy thing. I think they smell bad.
Good one! Hope the dinner was fun and I must admit,I too love a good bad boy...sighing here.Being a bit of a geek with bewbies myself,and a late-bloomer,I didn't really have many men on view in my apartments but ifI could have a few now,they'd include Jesse James (married to Sandra Bullock),Kid Rock (I know,I know...)Does it also count if you "like" badboys like Michael C Hall in "Dexter" and Christian Bale in "American Psyco?"Let us not forget a well-dressed vampire or two as well...Alas,I'm married to a blond/blue All American boy who suffers though my mutterings and comments when DanielCraig is on screen as the latest Bond-man...Okay...wishing I could remember a part obsession so I'll just go with any guy who rode a Harly in the 80's/90's and didn't wear a Rolex when he did. :)
Hi, I am Greenie :-). One of Megs oldest...and I hope dearest ;)...friends...I can attest to her NEVER liking bad boys, and when I first met her she indeed was OBSESSED with Doogie Howser! I did find this a little odd...I was more into Corey Haim...guess I should have taken on Megs taste....Anyways, when I used to go over her house, she had a "Doogie Board"....what is this you ask...Oh, well it is a BIG giant Board, with all Doogie pics all over it....a framed one! And one night we were leaving her room with the lights off and I felt and heard a big crack under my feet...."oh oh" I said, as meg turned around worried about what I may have stepped on...yes, it was the beloved "Doogie board...".....she did forgive me, but it was rough for a while. And I also was around for the whole Balthazar Getty thing....I had to go see Lord of the Flies two times at the movies...and that other movie...you know BLAZE OF GLORY...that too...but I was too into John BonJovi to notice.....ummm, yes, I have a small thing for bad boys..not the REAL badboys...but the somewhat badboys...the pretty ones...can't help it, guess we all have our vices... Meg always loved a good nerd though...and me always a somewhat badbo (not the ones who smelll)....
Oh...and second place goes to John Taylor from Duran Duran. He's STILL SMOKIN' andnot really a bad boy but a rocker so maybe it does count. He just always seemed likethe quiet hot guy. Funny story...I saw DD a few years back in concert. Its always scary to see your FAV band from childhood 20 years later. If they dissapoint then thefantasy is over...they did NOT. Anyway, I was about 8 rows back when suddenly John came to the front of the stage and started shaking hands. I seriously don't know whatcame over me but I literally jumped up, ran as fast as I could, jumped onto a chair and CLIMBED OVER a womans back to grab his hand! HOW AWFUL is that!?!?!?! Seriously,SO NOT like me but it happened before I realized it. He's still gorgeous even close up! But Harry's got him beat.
Love, hugs and shoes...Angie
For me, the bad boy who's a nerd at heart, JACK POT.
See, I'm the same way. I've always been attracted to the nerdy boys! I mean, look at me now: I'm dating a librarian, but my skin looks totally gorge and it's probably going to stay that way. I don't think any thrills are worth the ugly wrinkles- not to mention the liver damage, the lung cancer, and the skin cancer!
I meant BADBOY...bot badbo...but I am sure you knew that already :)..
ok i don't know how to respond to this post. a passenger walked on the plane the other day and said "hello pamela anderson" to little ole me! i ran to the cockpit and asked the pilots if that was an insult or a compliment. they said an insult! the girls i worked with said it was a compliment. i was so shocked by the comment that i didn't even register what the guy looked like so i could pester him later about it. i am hoping it was my smokey eye and pink frosty lipstick and not the "worn out tired pam look" ok enough of that. on to bigger things!!!!!!!! meg you are dating "mr.fancy pants" after you freaked him out about not liking bad boys did you decide if you like the guy or not??? you go girl!!!!
I have NEVER liked bad boys. They don't do it for me. But a smart guy or a down to earth blue collar guy (especially if they have the cute kind of big ears...not crazybig but the kind you just want to grab and pull him in for a kiss) then I'm all over it.My hubby was blue collar when I met him but he's transitioned into sales in his field.I get the best of both worlds. He's handy and fixes everything but puts on the dressshirt and slacks and brings in DAMN good money. I'm a lucky gal and I know it. Asidefrom my husband my dream man has and will always be Harry Connick Jr. I ADORE that man.Not only is he insanely handsome, but he's a TRUE musical talent, can act, is involvedin humanitarian efforts, has the CUTEST southern accent, looks AMAZING in a cowboy hat,is a FAMILY MAN and not a playboy and just all around floats my boat. I seriously think I'd faint if I met him. I swear that's the ONE thing I must do before I die.BTW...a friend of ours see's old Pammy girl quite often. Their kids are in the same surfingclass/club. This is a guy who LOVES implants, overly plastic surgeried women and isall for the faker the better. I figured she'd be up his alley. He had ONE word for Ms. A...HURT! whoa.
Love, hugs and shoes...Angie
Well, I guess I'm the oddball out on this one...I LOVE BAD BOYS!!! Plus, I baked in the sun up until the last five years, I smoke, and I drink. Are the wrinkles worth it, YOU BETCHA! Sorry girls, but my Mom has always been a bad boy lovin, sun lovin, smokin, and drinkin kind of gal. She's 62 and gorgeous. She does have wrinkles, but her personality makes her appear 10 years younger than she is. BTW, her husband of 20 years is 15 years younger than she is, and only 9 years older than me. He's even younger than my husband... Any time I've ever made a comment about how young someone looks for their age, my Mom's standard answer is: "Yeah, but I'll bet she's never had any fun"... Don't get me wrong, I obsess over wrinkles, sun damage, you name it and fight it tooth and nail. NO MORE SUN. But the smoking, drinking, and BAD BOYS...different story. Hey, I look at it this way, "Tomorrow you could walk out into the street, get run over by a steam roller, and all your troubles would be over"...
finnanagan, I think I love your Mom! Me, I always liked rockers- from the bad to the not-so-bad. I was a teen in the 80s, so: Motley Crue, David Lee Roth, Duran Duran, Prince, the Police, Bruce Springsteen- I loved em all.Dated my share of bad boys, I guess, but my husband's definitely not one- he is a drummer, though!
I like a balance, not overly goody-goody. I want him to have a wild side as well.
