Manday Hotties: A Classic New Year

New Year's Eve can be fun in so many ways.  Some years, I like to go see family fireworks in the park and watch the local kids try to stay up late -- once, Fred Penner was playing live! (If you're not Canadian, trust me, this was awesome.)  Other years, I might just get drunk and silly with friends and assume up front that there will be a terrible hangover, but it will be worth it.

This year, I'm going for a classy New Year's Eve -- I'm attending the wedding of one of my best childhood friends, so I'll be donning a fancy dress and toasting with champagne.

And so for today's post I'm celebrating the classy and classic men of the Silver Screen: some of my favourite film heroes.  They're not half-naked like my previous Manday Hotties offerings, but they're still a treat to look at, and I hope you enjoy.

Cary Grant

James Dean

James Stewart

Sean Connery

Steve McQueen

  1. It makes me so happy to see James Stewart up there. I don't think he gets enough credit for being as swoon-worthy as he is. Another favorite of mine is Paul Newman. *big sigh*

  2. Nice. I like the different approach this time. I love Sean Connery back in the day.

  3. Completely agree re: Stewart, Jayne -- Paul Newman is a great choice too.

    Thanks Lorraine, I was wondering how the non-shirtless pics were going to go down so I'm glad to hear it, haha.
