Can we talk? I have a confession to make - I have been following 'Rock of Love' religiously. 'Pray, what is this 'Rock of Love' infatuation?' you ask. It's the glorious reality show starring Bret Michaels from Poison who is on a quest to find true love. What better way to find true love than to fill a mansion with dicey chicks and tube dresses? Not to mention truck loads of eye liner, itsy bikini's and liquor. Cody and I have watched week after week as Bret would award his favorite ladies with a backstage pass. thereby crushing the hearts of the other less-fortunate ones who would leave in tears with their cheeks streaked with mascara. It recently wrapped up, Bret made his choice (a good one, in my mind) and I am looking forward to the reunion show this weekend more than I would like to admit. Adam and Ann came over last night for a finale' recap and we had a wonderful time watching the train wreck that was happening before our very eyes. I simply can't get enough! Ahh, mock if you must (and I know some of you will), but I have had some great times with that show.
Which has made me think - have you ever thought about the difference between 80's hotness and the hotness of today? The Rocker's of the metal era, all frizzy haired and pouty-mouthed, with their tight leather pants and studded boots. What is it? Is it their dreamy monster ballads? Their bad boy appeal? For example, lets take a look at the heartbreakers of the metal bands -
No, this is not your sister and a bunch of her friends headed out to go dancing. This would be 'Poison' back in the day. I think I see some remnants of smoke coming from those 'do's...
Kip Winger. aka - ManWolf. "Did anyone order a full moon?"
Whitesnake...lovely lionesses, aren't they?
Firehouse, the genius behind "Love of a Lifetime". Is...wait, is that - is that a 'thumbs up' with leather, fingerless gloves??
Now lets take a look at some current heartthrobs -Justin Timberlake. Love or hate him, that boy can day-yance. And me likey.
Brandon Flowers from The Killers. Hi there.
Landon Pigg. Poor dude was probably teased relentlessly as a kid, which made him a musical genius.
And, of course, my favorite - Cody from 'Jolley Roger'.
Anyone else dying to get a backstage pass? So tell me - what rock stars 'do it' for you?

Jewels I love you with every fiber of my being.
John Bon Jovi has always "done it" for me. I'm with you on Timberlake and Mr. Hotty Flowers.
I can't come up with any of my own at the moment but when I do I'll let you know.
Ok... I couldn't stop laughing at this one! I never really thought the 80's were bad... until...well now. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
OH man I love this post!!!! Who's sister are you? I am laughing because this is such a departure from music I played you growing up. You should have pics of Robert Smith and Michael Hutchence, even Wham! before glam rock dudes. So funny. So I must confess that I never did, and still don't, feel it for that style of past rockers. But today? Goodness me! Where to begin? Sam Roberts is a dish of ice cream, Daman Albarn from Blur (blue eyes that make you say 'yes'), Kasabian, Oasis (Yes, yes- the Brits are hot), Kings of Leon!....so many.
And I must add one point to this attraction: as unique as most of these artists are, it's that confidence that is SOOOO attractive! I see potential in even your lion men here.... if they are brave enough to wear spandex and cake make-up so proudly, that has sex appeal as much as Justin T. And can't agree more. LOVE J.T. Ssssss!
PS- And you are so good to tag Cody at the end there. You are a good wife. I would probably not even think to do that when I vocalize about my male crushes.... oops! I love Scott!
This was too hilarious! I'm currently dying laughing!
Jewels!! I miss you. When I need a laugh or a smile next time I am just going to go to your blog. You are the best. Thanks for making me smile and ps the bedroom looks perfect.
Okay, so I must admit from time to time I've caught myself watching this show from time to time when my husbands at work (he would mock like no tomorrow) and my daughters asleep. (I don't want her watching it with me, and we do everything together.) Anyway, not that I think it will work out, but I was glad with his final choice too. That Daisy chick was a totally false slutbag, and I hated her in every episode I ran into. Anyway if you saw my blog you know I'm a Jimmy Eat World fan. As far as today's wierd looking rockstars I stop and watch when Jared Leto from 30 seconds to Mars is singing on MTV, and even though he's bisexual, I also like watching Geoff Rickly of My Chemical Romance. Must be the intensity...it's so rock and roll to sing angry. lol.
p.s. Yes, I remember 7th grade art too. We talked about movies and one day we decided to just make noises and not talk at all to entertain ourselves during class.
Brett Michaels is a dream!......Lippy should have one!
Where the heck is Dee Snider from Twisted Sister??? I'm pretty sure he had the BEST cheese rock hair!
Oh and do you honestly believe that Brett Michaels is actually looking for L-O-V-E? I'm pretty sure he's just looking for a piece of a#@
Julia-
It was awesome to see you yesterday! I love your post. I'm going to have to show my husband. He is very guilty of loving all 80's rock bands! I wish that the 80's would come back again - I think I could do it even better this time!
Glad to see everything is going well! I hope we can get together soon. Visit my blog @ camadamsfamily.blogspot.com
