Better Naked and Late

     Wait?  Was that title confusing?  Did you think I was naked?   I love you too much to do that to you.  I'm talking about all the wonderfully naked men in the Magic Mike movie I saw two weeks ago.  I am nothing if not relevant people!  A month ago Kim @ Let Me Start By Saying wrote a hilarious post about going to see Magic Mike.  Go and read it.  Don't worry, I'll wait.


     Welcome back! After reading her post two weeks ago I was sold.  Two words: Alcide Hevreax. Wait! My favorite werewolf?  Mostly naked? Where's my popcorn?


     When I told Kim I was going I got this:
     So you can blame this whole post on her.
    
     At dinner that night with my Mother-in-law and Brother-in-law, Hubs announced to the whole table that I was trying to get away in time "to go see that male stripper movie."  I turned a few shades of red and then smiled and left for the night smug in the knowledge that he was putting all three kids to bed by himself.  Oh sweet revenge.


     This movie was actually perfect for me.  It was an opportunity to quietly ogle good-looking men with no fear of being pulled up on stage and being touched by strangers.  That being said, here's my take on Magic Mike.

1. The dancing was Ah-mazing!  Even with their clothes on their moves were drool worthy.  Taking their clothes off just added to the fun.

2. Plot was completely unnecessary.  I could have watched a movie with nothing but those fine men stripping the whole time.

3. I completely agree with Kim.  Matthew McConaughey was not the highlight for me.  I would have traded his finale for ten extra minutes of half naked Joe Manganiello - any day!

4. I loved that the ladies on stage with the men were not all conventionally attractive.  Feminists unite!

5. I will pay to see Magic Mike 2.  I will even pay in advance if that will ensure they make a second movie.
   
     On an related note, while I was doing "research" my good friend IMDB told me that Joe Manganiello is exactly one day older than me.  Somehow this makes me feel better.  I mean, if he still has it going on... 

I know, I've made it difficult to tell who is my favorite.
     Who am I kidding?  I am no Joe Manganiello.  At least he can't turn me down on the grounds that I'm too old for him.  (Always look on the bright side of life...)

     Now you tell me, which of these five men would motivate you to see Magic Mike?  Would you want to go on stage with your choice guy?  Or are you a "look but don't touch" person?  Inquiring minds want to know they aren't the only dirty oldish woman.

  1. ALCIDE IS MINE. HANDS OFF. MY CAT WILL CUT YOU.

    And you go your numbers wrong. Yes, Joe's #1, dude with 2 first names is 2nd, Bomer is 3rd, Matthew is 4th and blondie is 5th.

    I plan a private screening in our basement the night it comes out on DVD. Yes, I am a perv. So what?

    1. During your private screening can we fast forward through the plot and rewind the dance scenes? If so, I am SO there!

    2. Book your tickets to Jersey, girl. We're on the same page.

  2. Do I really have to choose just one?

    In all seriousness, The Kid was 100% the bad boy I constantly fell for before I met my husband. Without. Fail.

    Hubs doesn't look like any of those guys, but I am honestly perfectly fine with that. He's got a bit of a George Clooney/Billy Zane thing going on, which I think is HOT. :-)

    1. I love it when wives like their husbands. We're pretty lucky.

      My husband's only resemblance to any of these guys is his body (with a 4 pack instead of a 12 pack) and I am totally cool with that.

    1. Save yourself for the DVD. I desperately wanted a FF button in the theater. (Plus you could rewind Joe and watch him over and over and over...)

  4. I can't honestly answer your question...I am clueless (though I have heard of movie). I need to get my head back in the game. Glad you had fun.

    1. They picked a good mix of men for that movie. It's a fun break from the stuff I normally watch.

  5. I cna't believe your husband fronted you out like that! This was also one of the 2 movies I've seen at the theater this year. I totally agree that the plot just got in the way of the dancing. To answer your question, number 5. Matt Bomer is my favorite. :)

    1. My husband knew exactly what he was doing even though he played innocent after. I'll let it pass though because he made it easy for me to get out of the house and that is always appreciated.
