In case you missed The Tudors on HBO, allow me to recap.

First, there was Henry (Jonathan Rhys Meyers):

Henry was a bad, bad king. Sexy . . . but bad.

He had a friend, Charles Brandon (Henry Cavill) who was sexy, but bad, too. (Yes, there was a trend. The overall theme was ‘Absolute power corrupts absolutely, but wow, what a ride!’).

Here’s Brandon in his full glory:

So you can see why I was crazy about The Tudors with all of their bad, bad men. It’s also why I asked for the cover of my coming August 31st book, MUCH ADO ABOUT MARRIAGE, to have a Tudor look. See if you think Pocket Books managed to hit it:

So now you know why I was obsessed with The Tudors. If this little peek into the lush, sexy world of the Tudors leaves you hungry for a bite of more Elizabethan male badness, then you’re in luck because my book comes out on Tuesday! Happy FROS, m’dears!

For Refreshment Only Sunday (FROS) is bringing you double the love today!

I love bromance movies. You know the ones — those movies that focus on the friendship between two guys over any other relationship. I love bromance movies because you often get a twofer — two sexy heroes to watch instead of one.

Let’s take a bromance classic like, say, Robert Redford and Paul Newman in The Sting or Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Both guys are just hot. Sexy. And fun to watch.

Here, see if you agree:

Just one is fun. But both of them together and wowza!

Let’s look at a more modern bromance, shall we? How about this couple of yes-they-are-FROS-men?

And here, too:

Which bromances are your favorites? And don’t you think it’s time to get BROMANTIC?

Anyone seen the hit show, THE MENTALIST which stars sexy Australian Simon Baker?

If not, take a peek:

He looks good in a suit, too.

And there is something about his smile . . .

Or maybe it’s his eyes . . .

And to think Hugh Jackman and Simon Baker are BOTH from Australia. They sure know how to grow ‘em down under, don’t they? Meantime, Happy FROS!

After Claudia’s tasty blog about Indians yesterday (and being part Iroquois, myself — about 1/32nds worth), I got to thinking about all of the hot Indian actors I’ve read and watched through the years and it dawned on me that they would make a darned excellent FROS.

I found photos of them in and out of actor garb, and they were ALL compelling men.

Handsome men.

Manly men.

FROS men.

And so, on this hot and steamy August, welcome three of my favorites!

Billy Wirth:

Michael Greyeyes:

And Rudy Youngblood:

I hope your hot, sweltering August Sunday just got a little hotter . . . but in a good way! Happy FROS, m’dears!

Goddess Suzanne Enoch mentioned that many of our sexiest movie heroes were once comic book heroes. I hadn’t thought of it, but she’s right!

Like Hugh Jackman as Wolverine:

Gerard Butler as King Leonidas from 300:

And Chris Evans coming soon as Captain America:

Rumor has it that Chris Hemsworth will be coming soon as Thor:

And, finally, soon to be in Iron Man 3, the lovely Robert Downey, Jr.:

Here’s to Super Heroes and Super FROS!

By one very sexy Brit! I was talking to my daughter the other day about Sexy Brits (as mothers and daughters often do) and she mentioned a British musician by the name of Damon Albarn. I didn’t know of him, so I had to look him up and wow, what a fascinating looking man. He has piercing eyes, a noble brow, and a sensual mouth … he’s not classically beautiful, but he’s incredibly masculine and intriguing.

Take a look:

Interesting, isn’t he?

Check out another angle:

Damon has the most intense eyes … fascinating.

I mentioned Mr. Albarn is in a band. Did I also mention he’s won tons of awards, has been named one of the top three lead singers/songwriters of all times, and is a phenomenal musician AND musical producer? Well, he is. He’s all of this and artistic, too!

What do you think of our British Invasion? Do you like men like Damon here who are intriguingly masculine, but not especially ‘pretty?’ What other Brits rock your boat?

A special thank you to our own goddess Judy Patooty who sent me this name — and some incredible pictures — suggesting that Joe Manganiello would be a great FROS.

You may recognize him from the 3rd Spiderman . . . or How I Met Your Mother . . . or True Blood where he recently appeared as a werewolf.

However you recognize him … or don’t, you’ll have to agree that Judy is right about Joe being FROSian material.

Reeeeeally right.

Increeeeedible right.

Right as raaaaaain.

Here. Check him out here:

And here:

And here, too:

And finally … a gorgeous black and white photo of our new FROS Joe:

Judy sure can pick ‘em, can’t she? Have a great Sunday, m’dears! And may you bask in the warmth of FROS alllll week long!
