La liste au Papa Noël pour un garçon « parfait pour moi »



Certes, l’homme idéal n’existe pas (ou alors il est déjà marié, enfermé dans un château, avec une garde armée qui veille sur le joyau) ! Mais rien ne nous empêche de rêvasser à la possibilité d’un clone de l’homme idéal.
Je ne parle pas physiquement (bien que si un facsimilé de Jude Law existe, merci d’écrire à la rédaction qui fera suivre… C’est dans leur intérêt aussi, d’ailleurs aux rédactrices !) mais surtout au niveau « environnement mental ».

Je vous épargne le couplet du « les contraires s’attirent » qui est véridique mais usant car c’est une lutte constante pour vivre en harmonie ! C’est drôle, joyeux, bruyant et un brin choupinet mais sur la longueur, cela vire aux remords, regrets et autres sempiternels reproches (qui atterrissent dans le dossier d’un avocat).

Je vous parle ces qualités requises pour que mon détecteur à « garçon potentiellement épousable » (radar qui est, dans mon cas, défectueux de naissance) s’enclenche immédiatement.

1. Je ne lui demande pas d’avoir bac +10, mais un minimum de culture générale et d’intérêt culturel serait le bienvenu (histoire de ne pas discuter avec quelqu’un qui n’est pas au courant qu’Arthur Rimbaud est mort et enterré. Quoi ? Comment cela, qui est Rimbaud ?). Non, parce que, sans être diplômée de Cambridge, il y a un minimum requis par la loi.

2. Je ne lui demande pas, non plus, de sourire toute la journée, mais ne serait-ce que lorsque nous nous croisons et qu’il me regarde (point 3.). Un minimum d’intérêt et de sourire ne seront pas de refus.

3. Lorsque nous nous croisons (dans l’ascenseur, dans le couloir, dans la cage d’escalier, dans le bus, et après dans la salle de bains), il serait de bon ton aussi de me regarder dans les yeux (dans les yeux !) et de dire bonjour (pas coucou, salut, hello ou HI ! simplement, BONJOUR !). L’amabilité est une des qualités principales demandées.

4. Un brin d’intérêt commun. Que ce soit la musique, le cinéma, la voile (exemple), la poterie (je plaisante) ou la danse de salon (oh, là !), il faudrait qu’il puisse avoir au moins un intérêt commun avec moi, histoire que lors des longues soirées d’hiver (et après les premiers mois de « passion »), nous ne nous regardions pas en chiens de faïence et qu’on puisse passer, minimum, deux heures en tête à tête sans faire notre feuille d’impôts.

5. De la loyauté. Oui, de la loyauté ! C’est comme un contrat de mariage, mais en mieux. Je ne lui interdis pas de sortir, raconter des anecdotes à ses potes, mais faire un tant soit peu de distinguo entre vie publique et vie privée.

6. De la discrétion. Ce n’est pas parce que nous couchons ensemble qu’il a le droit (et le devoir) de le claironner sur tous les toits de France et encore moins à table avec nos amis respectifs. En sus, j’aime bien ce côté « toi et moi, on sait, mais pas les autres ». Cela s’appelle l’intimité !

7. De la confiance. Attention, pas de confiance aveugle, ni totale. Juste de la confiance (réciproque bien sûr !). Quand je lui dis : « je sors avec Aglaé », je sors avec Aglaé, pas avec mes ex du lycée. Alors quand il part en weekend sportif « entre mecs, sans fille», ce n’est pas pour finir à quatre heures du matin avec une donzelle de l’âge de ma sœur. Sinon, il le dit clairement au départ « Weekend mecs… ça va être la fête ! », et on sait à quoi s’attendre lundi matin !

8. De me dire que finalement, oui, je lui ai manqué, après une longue semaine chez mes parents, et le penser, sincèrement.

9. De la compréhension. Oui, il y a des jours où les filles sont chiantes, râleuses (qui a dit tous les jours ?), n’ont pas « envie », pleurnichent en silence, mangent du chocolat et soupirent devant la télévision (en regardant Quatre Mariages et Un Enterrement). C’est donc ce jour-là qu’il faut choisir pour : 1) nous embrasser sur le front, 2) compatir doucement 3) se tirer jouer au squash avec ses potes 4) revenir et nous serrer dans ses bras 5) s’endormir sans demander si on va vraiment dormir « avec ce pyjama informe » (parce que la réponse est OUI !).

10. De la tolérance. D’accord, on est un peu chieuse, un peu psychorigide par moments et on a une tendance nette à envoyer valser tout le monde, mais on est une fille tellement géniale et adorable dans la « vraie vie », que cela compense, non ? (NON ?)

11. De l’amour. Oui, alors, ça… On ne peut pas tout avoir non plus !

Vous connaissez un spécimen du genre masculin qui rassemble tous les mots évoqués en gras, vous ?

Parce que là, je viens de décrire les principales qualités de ma meilleure amie ! Oups !

Nb : je rappelle que le Papa Noël a autre chose à faire que de fournir des animaux de compagnie en état de marche avec une notice lisible et compréhensible !

Why I love British Boys !

I have to be honest about that topic. I love England. I don’t mean United Kingdom (even though I have a personal affection for Ireland and Wales), but I love England. I’ve been a fan of England for more than 30 years now. I feel like a British citizen and whenever the God Save the Queen is on air, I sing along and loud, as proud as I can be.
As far as I can remember, I’ve always felt for British boys. When I was 12, I fell in love with a British lovely boy who lived nearby Brighton and my second boyfriend was Welsh. And even if some of my boyfriends were French (very few indeed), they weren’t that French in their attitude and style (will go further on English attitude later).
Whenever it comes to classy boys, I have to admit that British boys are the best. Walk through any British cities (Needless to say London, of course) and you will get it. They are so stylized, not afraid to wear a trench or a hat ; Millions of miles away from many (southern) boys in France. So, after my post on “actors”, a reader (thanks to Jamie, a cute Britboy !) emailed me to ask whom British I fancy the most “but Jude Law”. He mentioned “Jude” twice in his email, probably because I’ve already said that Jude Law is the perfect guy.
But I have to say that I pretty like a few more. Jamie asked me “my very fave actors or singers. Only”. Here it goes. Please be indulgent to my choices :

First of all, number one, out of the competition: Jude Law…. It is obvious on that picture, isn’t it ?
(first time I’ve seen him on screen : Shopping 1993, boring and stupid film !)


Among the actors :
Paul Bettany. I’ve been looking to him for more than a decade and can’t decide my mind on how much gorgeous this guy really is. Probably more than Jude Law but in the lower version of sex-appeal… anyhow, he is enough sexy for me !
(first time I’ve seen him on screen : The Land Girls 1998, too romantic for me !)
Ben Whishaw. Yes, I know. Some of you are screaming at full volume and saying that I have obviously a major problem with my lenses (or my brain… most certainly both !). Each time I noticed that guy to my best friend, she looked to me pathetically… I can listen clearly her thoughts “Lisa is totally out of her mind !”. Once she even said “He looks like nothing at all”. But I quite like that kind of “nothing”.
(first time I’ve seen him on screen : Mauvaise Passe 1998 / La tranchée 1999)



Rupert Penry-Jones. I was still under the shock of the end of season 2 of Spook, this tremendous BBC series (French title : MI5) when the season 3 popped up. I was addicted to it already (and still) when I noticed a lovely blond actor casting to be the new “hero” of the show. I still don’t know if I’ve liked his character or the actor, but he is one of the cutest men I’ve seen…  He performed in others series or films and I still like him… well, well, well…
(first time seen on screen : Spook  2003 season 3)



It seems that Spook is quite a great show and that producers knows my tastes, because they casted after the death of Penry-Jones’ character another actor (British) I’ve been admiring for a few years : Richard Armitage. Though, he appeares on another TV series at the moment “Strike Back” (seasons 1-3) with another lovely British actor Andrew Lincoln… Let’s say that it is total bliss to watch at it !
(first time seen on screen : MacBeth 2005)



Benedict Cumberbatch. I have to say that the first time I’ve seen him in The Last Ennemy, I was a bit amazed by my taste. I myself thought that I had a serious problem… I can’t say that Cumberbatch is the prettiest man of earth, but he definitely has an elegant figure and a fascinating face that make him look like cute. At least, to my own tastes. I’m glad that he turned out to be in THE BBC series Sherlock… And it seems that I am no longer the only one who find him cute !
(first time seen on screen : The Last Ennemy 2008)



That is done for actors (Needless to say that a few more British actors could have been added… Don’t let me go on that subject : Think Ewan McGregor, etc...)
So, now, singers…. I have to admit that the singers I deeply like are only “a voice” for me. I don’t judge a singer for his beauty and sometimes, the voice is the only thing I notice from a singer…. Apart from those four guys ! Honestly, I firstly noticed their voice (mainly for the 2 last ones) then saw that they were quite my kind of men.
Graham Coxon. Well, if you ever meet me, you won’t be surprised by number 1 ! I’ve been admiring this nerd-like and child-like-voice guy for years! Years? I’ve been into Coxon for 22 years by now. 22 years of admiration and finding him “soooo cute”. If you don’t know me, you might be horrified at this #1 … But you know, I think that Graham Coxon is just so charming as a man and as an artist. In fact, he became over the years “my graham”.
(first time I’ve heard him … well, basically, I saw him in march 1990 and heard him speak in November 1990…)



Damon Albarn. Well, let’s be honest… Apart from his voice whose I first heard, no one can deny that Damon Albarn is a very gorgeous man. He was back in the 90’s and it would be a lie if I ever pretend that I didn’t notice that lovely boy on stage. He was cute, gorgeous, and divine (whatever you name it) but not my cup of tea. But I wasn’t blind, so…. Lately, I’ve seen him quite closely and at 44 years old, he was still quite magnificent.
(first time I’ve heard him : march 1990 ; Saw him on stage : june 1990)



Bill Ryder-Jones. This cute musician was then in The Coral and I didn’t hear him sing, but playing guitar and trumpet. He was very young and very sweet. I noticed him because he looked like one of my former boyfriends and it was a nice souvenir. I first heard The Coral in 2002 with single “Good Bye” and then, saw them in Paris supporting Blur Think Tank tour in 2003. I noticed him on stage that year.
(first time I’ve heard of him : 2002)


Alex Turner. Alex Turner… Or should I say Arctic Monkeys ? Because, I didn’t notice what Alex Turner looked like until I saw him a TV show in 2006. And obviously, he was NOT my kind of men. First of all, he was still a teenager and then, I didn’t really notice any of them. I liked Turner’s voice and his way of singing with his northern accent. Months after months, he was still the Arctic Monkeys singer and a voice. I finally opened my eyes in 2009 and the “Crying Lightening” video. He is not the most gorgeous guy I’ve seen, but he’s got this je-ne-sais-quoi which is familiar and pretty mysterious.
(first time I’ve heard him : late 2005)


So, right, to sum up it short, I might have very strange taste in men. Then, I can like brown hair or blonde hair but mainly blue eyed (Turner & Coxon are the exception!). I like them tall, quite slim and obviously with a kind of androgyny. Basically, it might come from my 80’s years and all those David Bowie, John Taylor, Robert Smith, Dave Gahan, and Martin Gore whom I liked and admired…
Oh My God, they are all British !
See, I can’t help ! If British boys could rule the world, I would be the happiest girl on earth !

Perfect guy !???

Let's say it right now... I have very amazing taste in men... Some say ! I am not sure of that but honestly I have my own taste and I fancy a very kind of guy... Brit & Irish boys... mainly... For instance, I fall for Jude Law, Paul Bettany, Jonny Lee Miller, Cillian Murphy, Ben Whishaw, Henry Cavill etc... See whom I mean ....


The 2 only exceptions I know are late american actor River Phoenix (whom I still worship... I first saw him in 1985 with Explorers film and I fall in love straight !) and this lovely guy painted by Bronzino (photo below)....


What about this Bronzino guy ? Magnetic and sexy, don't you think ?
