When Staingirl Kaye and I first embarked on our blogging journey, I envisioned us as the Oprahs of the blogosphere, teaching, entertaining and always opining on anything and everything that interests women “of a certain age”. Yes, this could occasionally include talking about guys and other issues that arise there. After all, Oprah does that. Little did I guess that staingirlz.com would become a David Cassidy lustfest. Kaye knows I don’t get this. After all, the older videos are of him at the age of my oldest son (Eww!), where he actually looks a little like a Girlyman. And the newer videos of the older David Cassidy… The man has aged nicely enough, but he’s no sex god.

Okay you Cassidy-ites, tone down the hate mail. And my dear progeny, don’t barf, and don’t hate on me. One time only, and for the sake of educating the Cassidy people, I am going to dedicate my post to a real sex god: Gilles Marini (otherwise known as Sexy Naked Neighbor from Sex and the City). Here is a man who knows how to move and really seduce a woman:

More importantly, Gilles Marini has the goods that go with the movements. I did not try to find a clip of Sexy Naked Guy because this is a family-friendly sight and kids don’t need to see full frontal nudity. But here’s a cute clip where he is causing quite a stir with the Walker family on Brothers & Sisters as the new French lover of one of the sisters. The goods (and I don’t mean the bulge) become more visible at the end of the clip:

Not surprising that the powers that be at Brothers & Sisters have extended his original five-episode contract with an additional four. Gilles Marini, there’s a young man not caught in a time warp that I can go cougar on without feeling like a pervert (David Cassidy, Seriously?)! Have at it Ladies, and easy on the hate mail.

Kaye sent me this hilarious video of Dennis Leary on the Dave Letterman Show. Leary was telling Letterman about his book in which he dedicates a whole chapter to Oprah. He had to check out Oprah since all the females around him have the “Oprah says…” thing going on. He fully expected to hate her. So he went online to see what he could learn. And to Dennis Leary’s amazement, he found her to be quite informative. Apparently, learning that you can actually break a penis from Oprah gave him a new found respect for her. Check out what he has to say (it may take a moment to appear):

Who woulda thunk it? Well, I have to admit that I too am occasionally guilty of the “Oprah says…” syndrome. Her show is a fountain of knowledge. I made my kids watch the episode where Dr. Laura Berman talked to two teenagers who thought they were ready for sex, with occasional interjections of Oprah’s insight. By the end of the show that girl had her chastity belt tied on tight.

And the male perspective? Well, from what I hear, some men seem to think that Oprah leads the male-bashing parade. But my man knows otherwise. He tuned in on the day that Dr. Oz advised the women to show their husbands some love on a regular (preferably daily) basis. This would keep the men’s plumbing going and the ticker working. He may not be into watching her on a regular basis. But he now considers her a wise woman with an informative show.
