			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>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&#8217;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 &#8230; he&#8217;s not classically beautiful, but he&#8217;s incredibly masculine and intriguing.</p>
<p>Take a look:</p>
<p><a href="http://thegoddessblogs.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/imagesDA.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-11532" title="imagesDA" src="http://thegoddessblogs.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/imagesDA.jpg" alt="" width="295" height="312" /></a></p>
<p>Interesting, isn&#8217;t he?</p>
<p>Check out another angle:</p>
<p><a href="../wp-content/uploads/2010/07/imagesda3.jpg"><img title="imagesda3" src="../wp-content/uploads/2010/07/imagesda3.jpg" alt="" width="304" height="372" /></a></p>
<p>Damon has the most intense eyes &#8230; fascinating.</p>
<p><a href="http://thegoddessblogs.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/imagesda2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-11533" title="imagesda2" src="http://thegoddessblogs.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/imagesda2.jpg" alt="" width="259" height="194" /></a></p>
<p>I mentioned Mr. Albarn is in a band. Did I also mention he&#8217;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&#8217;s all of this and artistic, too!</p>
<p><a href="http://thegoddessblogs.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/imagesda41.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-11536" title="imagesda4" src="http://thegoddessblogs.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/imagesda41.jpg" alt="" width="446" height="267" /></a></p>
<p><strong>What do you think of our British Invasion? Do you like men like Damon here who are intriguingly masculine, but not especially &#8216;pretty?&#8217; What other Brits rock your boat?<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A special thank you to our own goddess Judy Patooty who sent me this name &#8212; and some incredible pictures &#8212; suggesting that Joe Manganiello would be a great FROS.</p>
<p>You may recognize him from the 3rd Spiderman . . . or How I Met Your Mother . . . or True Blood where he recently appeared as a werewolf.</p>
<p>However you recognize him &#8230; or don&#8217;t, you&#8217;ll have to agree that Judy is right about Joe being FROSian material.</p>
<p>Reeeeeally right.</p>
<p>Increeeeedible right.</p>
<p>Right as raaaaaain.</p>
<p>Here. Check him out here:</p>
<p><a href="http://thegoddessblogs.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/joe-manganiello.jpg"><img src="http://thegoddessblogs.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/joe-manganiello.jpg" alt="" title="joe-manganiello" width="400" height="604" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-11438" /></a></p>
<p>And here:</p>
<p><a href="http://thegoddessblogs.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/joemanganiello21.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-11439" title="joemanganiello21" src="http://thegoddessblogs.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/joemanganiello21-196x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="400" /></a></p>
<p>And here, too:</p>
<p><a href="http://thegoddessblogs.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/tumblr_l1vaqzrxx31qzyac7.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-11440" title="tumblr_l1vaqzrxx31qzyac7" src="http://thegoddessblogs.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/tumblr_l1vaqzrxx31qzyac7-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="325" height="400" /></a></p>
<p>And finally &#8230; a gorgeous black and white photo of our new FROS Joe:<br />
<a href="http://thegoddessblogs.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Joe-Manganiello-shirtless.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-11437" title="Joe-Manganiello-shirtless" src="http://thegoddessblogs.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Joe-Manganiello-shirtless.jpg" alt="" width="360" height="500" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Judy  sure can pick &#8216;em, can&#8217;t she? Have a great Sunday, m&#8217;dears! And may you bask in the warmth of FROS alllll week long! </strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yup, it&#8217;s that sexy actor from Striptease, Sleeper Cell and Cold Case, EDUARDO YAÑEZ! </p>
<p>We can thank fellow goddess Trini for referring sexy Eduardo to the FROS Committee for screening. I &#8212; er, I mean &#8216;We&#8217; &#8212; took one look at this incredibly masculine actor and unanimously voted HECK YES to Eduardo being this week&#8217;s FROS!</p>
<p>Thank you, Trini!</p>
<p>Without further ado, here is EDUARDO YAÑEZ:</p>
<p><a href="http://thegoddessblogs.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Eduardo-Yanez-300.jpg"><img src="http://thegoddessblogs.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Eduardo-Yanez-300.jpg" alt="" title="Eduardo-Yanez-300" width="300" height="400" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-11365" /></a></p>
<p>And:</p>
<p><a href="http://thegoddessblogs.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/eduardo_ya_ez_1711.jpg"><img src="http://thegoddessblogs.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/eduardo_ya_ez_1711.jpg" alt="" title="eduardo_ya_ez_1711" width="298" height="400" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-11366" /></a></p>
<p>And a bit more: </p>
<p><a href="http://thegoddessblogs.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/2007271842291198802549.jpg"><img src="http://thegoddessblogs.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/2007271842291198802549.jpg" alt="" title="2007271842291198802549" width="331" height="398" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-11367" /></a></p>
<p>And finally, because I know you guys like to be certain there is no false advertising with FROS, here&#8217;s our usual &#8217;shirtless shot:&#8217;</p>
<p><a href="http://thegoddessblogs.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/pa_eduardo_yanez1_7_040601.jpg"><img src="http://thegoddessblogs.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/pa_eduardo_yanez1_7_040601.jpg" alt="" title="pa_eduardo_yanez1_7_040601" width="250" height="336" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-11368" /></a></p>
<p>Eduardo, I think I speak for all of us here on Mt. Oly when I say,<strong> &#8220;No one looks better ripping a phone book in half!&#8221;</strong></p>

<p>To celebrate July 4th, we&#8217;re giving a big FROS welcome to actor/singer/performer/male beauty Matthew Morrison from the hit TV show GLEE!</p>
<p><a href="http://thegoddessblogs.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/101+Matthew+Morrison+as+Will.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-11236" title="101+Matthew+Morrison+as+Will" src="http://thegoddessblogs.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/101+Matthew+Morrison+as+Will.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="385" /></a></p>
<p>Matthew is a California native who, until he burst onto our teevee screens in the hit musical GLEE, graced Broadway with his phenomenal talents.</p>
<p><a href="http://thegoddessblogs.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/gOO9le6B0qprmwoyqcrxWhtSo1_250.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-11237" title="gOO9le6B0qprmwoyqcrxWhtSo1_250" src="http://thegoddessblogs.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/gOO9le6B0qprmwoyqcrxWhtSo1_250.jpg" alt="" width="230" height="341" /></a></p>
<p>I chose Matthew because 1) I&#8217;m a Gleek, and 2) he has such phenomenal eyes, and 3) boy, can this guy SING!</p>
<p>My heart is melting even now. I&#8217;m a sucker for a sexy voice. Add to that, a sort of sexy, clean-cut sorta guy and &#8212; excuse me while I fan myself for a moment. While I&#8217;m doing so, feel free to stare at the following picture:</p>
<p><a href="http://thegoddessblogs.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/matthew-morrison-1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-11289" title="matthew-morrison-1" src="http://thegoddessblogs.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/matthew-morrison-1.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="590" /></a></p>
<p>I know your next question . . . how does our American male beauty look without his shirt? I know you&#8217;re thinking that because it&#8217;s what I was thinking while looking for pictures of the delectable Matthew. So here, poolside at a pool in Miami, is Matt:</p>
<p><a href="http://thegoddessblogs.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/matthew-morrison-shirtless-miami-beach-04.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-11238" title="matthew-morrison-shirtless-miami-beach-04" src="http://thegoddessblogs.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/matthew-morrison-shirtless-miami-beach-04-199x300.jpg" alt="" width="199" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>I&#8217;d say he passed the No Shirt Test, wouldn&#8217;t you?</p>
<p><strong>HAPPY FOR REFRESHMENT ONLY SUNDAY, MY LOVELY GODDESSES!!!!</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I love me some soccer and I&#8217;m really enjoying the World Cup this year. Much to the surprise of the free world, the USA team has been outstanding. GO, TEAM USA!</p>
<p>Ask Carlos Bocanegra, the team captain. He&#8217;ll tell you.</p>
<p><a href="http://thegoddessblogs.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/carlso-bocanegra-chest.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-11097" title="carlso-bocanegra-chest" src="http://thegoddessblogs.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/carlso-bocanegra-chest.jpg" alt="" width="506" height="679" /></a></p>
<p>After looking at that, I have to say GO, TEAM USA all over again.</p>
<p>But it&#8217;s worth it just to see him smile.</p>
<p>Of course, there are other teams out there. Teams like Italy which has the amazingly talented Gianluigi Buffon.</p>
<p><a href="http://thegoddessblogs.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/gianluigi-buffon-italy-hot.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-11098" title="gianluigi-buffon-italy-hot" src="http://thegoddessblogs.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/gianluigi-buffon-italy-hot.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="628" /></a></p>
<p>Yup, those Italians sure can play.</p>
<p>Of course, how could we talk soccer and not mention England . . . and one of my personal favorite players, Michael Owen.</p>
<p><a href="http://thegoddessblogs.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/michael-owen-england-soccer-hot.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-11099" title="michael-owen-england-soccer-hot" src="http://thegoddessblogs.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/michael-owen-england-soccer-hot.jpg" alt="" width="430" height="320" /></a></p>
<p>Yup, he&#8217;s not just hot, he&#8217;s Soccer Hot which is 70% hotter than your average underwear model. That&#8217;s HOT, all right!</p>
<p>Ah, there are so many teams and so little time! I suppose we can do one more, though. Just one.</p>
<p>How about the amazing Michael Ballack from Germany?</p>
<p><a href="http://thegoddessblogs.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/michael-ballack-germany-soccer-hot.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-11100" title="michael-ballack-germany-soccer-hot" src="http://thegoddessblogs.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/michael-ballack-germany-soccer-hot.jpg" alt="" width="486" height="683" /></a></p>
<p>So there you have it &#8212; some of the reasons why I watch the World Cup.</p>
<p><strong>By the way, a special thanks to fellow goddess B for suggesting the World Cup Soccer Hotties. As I said, I love me some soccer!</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lovely goddess SuzyQ dropped a gem into my mailbox this week; a gem called Ian Somerhalder. According to wiki, he&#8217;s &#8216;an American fashion model, actor and producer, notable for playing Boone Carlyle in the TV drama<em> Lost </em>and Damon Salvatore in the TV drama <em>The Vampire Diaries</em>&#8216;.</p>
<p>Whatever show he&#8217;s on, I want to watch him. Er, I mean &#8216;it.&#8217; The show, not &#8212; Oh heck, I&#8217;m flustered. Let&#8217;s just say he&#8217;s worth watching.</p>
<p>Not only is he a hottie, he&#8217;s also currently doing a series of PSAs for his home state of Louisiana as they face the consequences of the deep ocean oil spill. I&#8217;m impressed. Looks AND a giving soul? </p>
<p>I want.</p>
<p>And soon, so will you. Check him out:</p>
<p><a href="http://thegoddessblogs.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/ian-somerhalder-20080126-368328.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-10751" title="ian-somerhalder-20080126-368328" src="http://thegoddessblogs.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/ian-somerhalder-20080126-368328.jpg" alt="" width="399" height="397" /></a></p>
<p>For a closer look at those incredible eyes:</p>
<p><a href="http://thegoddessblogs.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/IS1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-10757" title="IS1" src="http://thegoddessblogs.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/IS1.jpg" alt="" width="447" height="596" /></a></p>
<p>Just in case you don&#8217;t have your computer glasses on and need a bigger picture:</p>
<p><a href="http://thegoddessblogs.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/IS3.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-10753" title="IS3" src="http://thegoddessblogs.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/IS3.jpg" alt="" width="700" height="900" /></a></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s one to prove that he looks just as good in black and white:</p>
<p><a href="http://thegoddessblogs.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/IS2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-10754" title="IS2" src="http://thegoddessblogs.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/IS2.jpg" alt="" width="380" height="500" /></a></p>
<p>And, because we shouldn&#8217;t be shallow and just admire his exterior:</p>
<p><object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/y47V5UjUGUs&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/y47V5UjUGUs&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object></p>
<p><strong>Whew! What a terrific FROS. A big THANK YOU to goddess SuzyQ for sharing such a treasure! </strong></p>

<p>I don&#8217;t think he plays a vampire in that show, but well . . . he&#8217;s hot. So here he is.</p>
<p>That was certainly gratuitious of me, wasn&#8217;t it?</p>
<p>Sorry.</p>
