Allan-
Washington, D.C. is a city that should be visited frequently
or for an extended period of time. It's vibrant, alive, quick paced and pretty. I wanted to walk and walk, shop, stop, eat, look, rest, inspect, carouse - I will come back - I will go to New York, Paris, London, Chicago - someday - maybe.
I went to Bretano's book store - wonderful!
Have been locked inside Anaïs Nin + Henry Miller.
There is no place for me to crawl off and be alone (except in my books) but nonetheless the vacation is restful and interesting. Going to Virgina Beach in the morning.
I have so much to say but, alas, no way.

A passion for something, anything, is one of the most attractive characteristics we know.
Ben here likes to skate on water, gets to tie-dye stuff for Nike and has an wonderful smile under that nearly twenty moustache.
(And you could also be a younger version of the guy below.)

There is something slightly mischievous about you, and then there is something distinctly Californian. That combination can either mean good times or trouble, but we chose to opt for the former.

Or the latter.
Either way.

Because you'll always be Master Shakespeare to us.

Because for Halloween you dress up as Steve Martin. And because we appreciate the practicality of a party sized whiskey bottles.

Our brother told us an old Monty Python joke last week;

- We find your American beer a little like making love in a canoe.
- Making love in a canoe?
- Yeah, it's fucking close to water.

In an A-Z guide to relationships in Sweden, an American puts it down rather nicely. It goes a bit like this;

A) Meet at a mutual friend's party.

B) Get really, really drunk.

C) Make out. Sex is optional.

/.../

K) Repeat Step A.

L) Repeat Step B.

M) Repeat Step C, all the while pretending it never happened the first time.

The article is titled Dating in Sweden, which is quite misleading. We do not know of anybody who dates anyone in Stockholm, although, we have heard of a few that are into repetition.

Mexicans are one of our favorite nationalities, up there with the Danes and the British. Maybe its due to the fact that flying into Mexico City is like landing in an ocean of confetti, they excel in the art of enjoying life and, quite possibly, the dark eyes of Mr. Taco and Mr. Burrito above.

One of many good reason why we would rather be in Brooklyn right now.

Because boys and super-sized furry animals have a few things in common; if you are lucky you can win one, they are usually soft on the inside and always delightful to sleep next to.

We don't know how it would biologically possible to fail when mixing the genes of a Texan supermodel and a British loud-mouth, and apparently it works out very well. We give James an A+ and for a dose of proper English we recommend watching him talk about Batman and being painfully shy.

Art director Ruth Ansel knows we love scruffy men even more if they occasionally put on a tuxedo and buy us diamonds.

If the medium is the message, chalk is one hell of a medium.

Since you're obviously one of the most beautiful men we've seen.

"En norsk man i sina bästa år med en spjuveraktigt leende som först verkar rätt average skandinavman sådär, men sen kopplar han på charmen som typ får en falla som en norsk... björk?"

We don't watch TV and we're not sure about making out with Skavlan, but we do value the opinion of our readers and could possibly be up for a snuggle.

Apparently Elvis was training to be an electrician. "I suppose I got wired the wrong way round somewhere along the line." And although Vegas glitz is close to our hearts, the amps, volts, watts, and ohms of this King charming is even more obvious in casual attire.

Dating site okCupid analyzed 500,000 first contacts looking at key words and their response rates and we believe it is pretty applicable to life afk, away from keyboard, too. Although a 'Hello' and smile is sweet, the English language is equipped with opening phrases that needs a reply, hence starts a conversation.

Then again, we are in no position to hand out dating advice, but we do long for the day to say "You had me at What's up".

We're suffering from severe beard abstinence today.

What a difference a day makes
There's a rainbow before me
Skies above can't be stormy
Since that moment of bliss, that thrilling kiss

It's heaven when you find romance on your menu
What a difference a day made
And the difference is you




What a difference a night makes.

Sometimes we wish they all could be California boys.
Or in the case of this Z-Boy, relocating to Hawaii works as well.
