Darn, I can't gaze at Ari Melber today.

[MoonRiver]

(Shhh, don't tell my husband ). Sorry Ali, you're just not the same kind of eye candy.

[hlthe2b]

1. yeah, but we got another gander at Stormy's lawyer, Michael Avenatti earlier today...

He's not bad at all vis-a-vis eye candy (plus he, like Melber, is damned smart)

[MoonRiver]

4. Ari looks a lot like my husband did 30 years ago. He's still hunk, btw.

I think Avenatti is cute, but Ari is...hubba hubba! I've also always been drawn to the smart guys. Looks only count so much, lol.

[CTyankee]

14. Sorry, I like Melber but Avenatti is truly hot...outstandingly gorgeous...

[MoonRiver]

15. Maybe Avenatti seems a little too dangerous for me.

Before I was married, guys like him would make me feel uncertain about their long term intentions. Now that I've got my guy, for 30+ years now, I just enjoy looking!

[smirkymonkey]

27. It's funny, Avenatti is not really my type, but I do find him rather sexy.

Ari is very handsome as well, but in a different way.

[CTyankee]

37. Avenatti reminds me of the gorgeous men I saw in northern Italy...I actually stopped in my

tracks on the Bridge of Sighs in Venice to stare at two hugely gorgeous men in uniform walking toward me. I have never done that since and will never see that again...

[smirkymonkey]

44. I think men like that scare me in a way. I find them sexy, but a bit dangerous.

I wouldn't consider them for a relationship, but you know, maybe if we were two ships passing in the night or something.

[CTyankee]

46. yeah, well. Avenatti is one of those men that have a sense of sexiness in them...

when you know he's in the mafia but you think he's pretty great looking too.

[Siwsan]

2. You crack me up! I was thinking the exact same thing!

[MoonRiver]

6. We have to figure out a way to get him on more!

[gibraltar72]

12. You know her husband?

[elfin]

3. Yup, he is HOT.

And I am a near-geezer with a good memory of personal naughty highlights past.

Need to see him later -- after I get home from work. With a glass of wine. Bye bye, Chris???

[MoonRiver]

5. We can only hope!

[dhol82]

10. Matthews or Hayes?

Ewwwwww - neither one of them floats my boat.
Ari, on the other hand, damn.
Intelligence is my number one need.
After that, Ari.......nice.

[elfin]

20. I meant Mathews. Hayes is cute - no Ari, but cute. EOM

[dhol82]

32. Ok, I will give you cute, but -

Does not float my boat.

[tavernier]

31. Hayes? Harry Potter to me.

Not a bad thing but he’s no Wolfe Blitzer.

[milestogo]

7. He reminds me so much of this handsome lawyer...

Its Russ Feingold, some 26 years ago.

[MoonRiver]

8. Yes he does!

[elfin]

21. Ooh. EOM

[magicarpet]

9. Naughty, naughty, naughty !

[MoonRiver]

11. Ooooh, nice!

[BumRushDaShow]

13. LOL

You could maybe think of Velshi as a young Telly Savalas.

[MoonRiver]

16. Nope, Telly was never my type either.

But that is a nice pic!

[Hortensis]

34. Whoa, that is certainly a new image for Ali.

But I also love Ari for his brain. Totally serious. He's extremely sharp.

[RandomAccess]

17. I thought I was the only one

He's gorgeous. I also love his intelligence, his training and obvious expertise, and his cute and warm sense of humor. Not so crazy about his taste in music, though it IS interesting.

[MoonRiver]

19. What music does he like?

I'm old enough to be his mother, so I'm just fooling around here.

[RandomAccess]

26. Hip Hop

[MoonRiver]

38. Ok, not my favorite either.

[RandomAccess]

41. But I think his taste is broader than that

but he talks about Hip Hop a lot -- tends to quote lyrics at salient points in the conversation. Funny.

[BigmanPigman]

35. I know, I am not a fan of hip hop but rock and roll so

I don't usually get his references. He mentioned the Grateful Dead the other day though.

[HipChick]

18. I am truly disgusted by this thread...

Ari is fine eye candy, but Michael Aventti is blinding....those dimples though...

[MoonRiver]

22. Maybe somebody should start a poll about which one is hotter!

Question is, would that thread get past the mods? Is it "general" discussion. I think so, but I've been wrong before.

[HipChick]

30. Lol!...

[elfin]

24. Sometimes "disgusting" threads are the best. EOM

[MontanaMama]

23. Oh dear...

I thought I was the only one with a thing for Ari!! I rushed home to see him today and when he wasn’t on I went out to run an errand. Love Ali but you’re right MoonRiver, Ari is just so freaking adorable.

[BigmanPigman]

25. I like Ali Velshi better.

I don't need eye candy, just good news explained in a way I can understand it. I don't need to feel hot and bothered by Ari since I already am...... I have a high fever and have for 7 days now. YUK!

[MoonRiver]

29. Sorry BP!

[BigmanPigman]

33. Thanks!

[LuckyCharms]

28. This is terrible. I'm reporting you all.

[RandomAccess]

36. Here's some more --

These are my favorites from a Google search just now --

[MoonRiver]

47. And for all you young, single ladies, HE'S AVAILABLE!

I think he was married for a few years, but they divorced.

[panader0]

39. Get a room!

[RandomAccess]

42. Oh, what a good idea!

ROFL.

[samnsara]

40. dang...what did i miss??

[MoonRiver]

45. You'll just have to read the whole thread.

Bonus prize is you get to look at a lot of gorgeous men!

[Stallion]

43. Oh Yeah--Well I was Hot in the Late 80s--early 90s too

...but have mellowed like a fine wine over the years
