I totally am stealing this from Hilly, because I like the concept. Oh, and there is nothing wrong with a little eye candy, right?

I’m not going to go into a really long explanation as to WHY I chose the men that I chose. I’m going to leave that up to you to figure out. But I can tell you there are some pretty simple reasons I chose them.

Sodapop’s Top Ten fantasy boyfriend/husband/boy toys

10. Robert Downey Jr.

Robert Downey Jr. has been one of my favorite actors for many years. I’ve liked him since I saw Less Than Zero. Unfortunately, his character’s life was going to mirror his own. I stuck with him, watching all of his movies, watching Ally McBeal only for the time he was on it. I would marry this man tomorrow if he were to ask.

9. Julian McMahon

Oh WOW! What can I say about Julian? Besides being extremely hot? I remember the series premiere of Nip/Tuck and thought I was going to fall off the chair when they showed his naked butt while he “did” a woman from behind. I was hooked.

8. Nick Lachey

Ummm yeah. I know. Total boy band has been. Think I care? The man is hot and I love his singing. I don’t care if nobody else likes him. More for me!

7. Jack Bauer (ooops I mean Keifer Sutherland)

Yet another man I’ve been a HUGE fan of for years and years. I don’t even remember a time when I was NOT a Kiefer fan. I even thought he was a cutey in Max Dugan Returns when he played the son of Donald Sutherland’s character. What a stretch there, eh?

6. Tiki Barber - New York Giants

I’m sure you knew I’d start bringing in the sports guys, right? If you didn’t expect THAT, shame on you. Tiki Barber is a former running back for the New York Giants. He retired after the 2006 season and is now a broadcaster. He has an identical twin (I do not think they look alike - at all) Ronde who is a defensive player for the Tampa Bay Bucs.

Time for the top five!!! (p.s. this is harder than it looks)

5. Will Smith (think back to Bad Boys and Independence Day. YUM)

Ahh, the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Love, love, love Will Smith. Let’s hope he doesn’t go crazy like Tom Cruise did, ya know?

4. Bobby Cannavale (Third Watch, one episode of Sex and the City, Oz and several others)

I lusted after Bobby the moment he was shown on screen in the first episode of Third Watch. I sobbed with millions of others when his character died. I fell in love all over again when he played Samantha’s boyfriend, on SATC, who had funky tasting “spunk.”

3. Nick Markakis - Baltimore Orioles

The second I saw this guy on the baseball diamond, I was in lust. Lust, I say. Look at his eyes. Just look at them! Hot. It’s getting hot in here. Don’t ya think?

2. Andy Pettite - New York Yankees

Oh my. What can I say about Andy? He’s tall. He’s dark. And he’s so yummy it pains me to look at him when he’s pitching or just sitting in the dug out. Yum.

If you are wondering who the number 1 guy on my list is, then you do not know me very well. And that’s OK. I’ll fill you in on a secret, I’ve had a crush on this guy since 1996. It was his rookie season and the regular shortstop could not play. He filled in. He was farmed up with the organization from the time he left high school. He is the founder of the Turn 2 Foundation to help underprivileged children in both New York City and Michigan - his home state.

People back in Vegas would greet me by saying “Hey Mrs. Jeter!” They knew.
