Ok, every year people magazine comes out with their most sexy man issue.  I’ve seen a couple of blogs do their own list and I became inspired to roll out mine.

This was hard because my love of the black man knows no boundaries and I have way to many images and pictures in my collection and mind, lol.  However, I will try to narrow this down with commentary. 

  Number TEN

Vernon Jones - CEO of Dekalb Cty. 

He has scandals, he is a people person and his political swagger is legendary in my town, he just does it for me.  Caun is always telling me to stop screaming for a damn CEO.

Number NINE

Al B. Sure!

I will NEVER forget the first time I heard ‘Nite and Day’ and then saw the video.  I almost lost my mid-eighties it’s all about the light skinned mind.  The unibrow even turned me on. Add that we both were born on 6/4 and you got me faint.

Number EIGHT

Idris Elba

I haven’t watched one episode of HBO’s The Wire, but I knew who Stringer was!  When I found out he was from England and he unveiled that sexy ass accent. I was hooked. Add height and I’m a goner! See him get on the turn tables and I’m quivering. 

Number SEVEN

David Banner

Educated and thugged out as hell.  He intrigues me - which in itself is sexy.

Number SIX

Darrin Henson

He had me at N’sync.  By the time Soulfood came on and he gave us Lem for several seasons - I have felt his sexiness. I wish he would come and dance for me!

Number FIVE

Barack Obama

The self confidence and balls required to wake up and say “I think I’ll run for President”  Enough Said.

Number FOUR

Chris Brown

There are those that want to be like Mike and then there are those that seem to have captured his very spirit and this youngster does it for me.  I’m enthralled with that smile and his tall lanky dancers body.  He gives me my youth back and if the rumors are true (wink) he would have me,lol

 Number THREE

Sean “Diddy” Combs

Rap has become a movement and nobody personifies it better than this man here.  I find it extremely sexy the way he wears his swagger.  NOBODY looks better in a suit and his whole cocky attitude gets me a bit moist.  He has that “it”.

Number TWO

Tyrese

Ok, I can’t even quite describe exactly what it is about this man!  You ever just see somebody and have a violent physical reaction - well that’s what Tyrese does for me.  I just need him to take off his shirt, sit in a chair and sing to me.  I will handle the rest.

AND FINALLY - I present to you the man that I have deemed worthy of the top spot on my sexy list…..

Well we caught the 6pm show, which actually was the perfect time. Everyone is enroute from work etc. etc. The whole rest of the evening was sold out but the 6pm wasn’t even crowded.

I have been on the fence about Tyler Perry, especially the Madea set of movies, but I have stuck in there like black folks do - we’ll talk about you like a dog but be front and center, lol lol

Well I’m glad that I stuck it out, because the brother is getting better. This movie rocked! 

The cast was great - they worked well together and it flowed. Sure some things wrapped up a bit too ‘hollywood’, but overall it was a good job.  Ok Janet did a good job - her facial expressions had me rolling - Joe Jackson was present and accounted for, lol lol  Richard T is my new baby daddy. It took a minute to see Tyler in his role but he also did a good job.  Tasha Tasha Tasha - She was on fire. 

I liked that he told this story and it was relevant, deep and adult with a PG-13 rating.

I liked that the characters were real and not so overly put together with their ‘money’ that they seemed unreal.

I liked that the men were allowed some faults but that the women were the ones who needed to examine some things.

But dammit if Tyler don’t stop stealing from my heart, lol Once again I’m all up in the movie theatre boo hoo’ing at a certain part by Jill Scott. Her words have come out of my mouth damn near verbatim and I got caught up. Glad I had my ‘Mountain Cop” there to wipe my tears.

Sometimes relationship movies can make you uncomfortable just on GP and certainly a movie about relationships.  I know that we are suppose to hang out with some friends (2 couples) later on this year and I’m cancelling that shit, lol lol 

I enjoyed it, the audience acted great and I actually give this movie an A. I cant’ wait to own it.  I would have to say it’s ranking up and hovering around my love for “The Best Man” - it’s a solid movie.
