Today's eye candy rhymes! Yes, our Man Candy for today is no other than...WAIT. (I know you are going to scroll down anyway...go ahead but come back for my story!)
Let me share a story with you first. A few of my readers are aware that last year was an extremely difficult time for my family and me. In particular, my partner for life was dealt with a devastating blow. We found ourselves in a situation where we lived day to day not knowing what would happen next. Valentine's day last year did not exist for either of us. Every year he would buy me flowers and I would buy him food. Sigh...we know each other so well. Money was tight and my partner had spent all of last year in the hospital and on disability. There would be no Valentine's day in 2010. OR so I thought.
It was almost the end of February and Steve had been home from the hospital for a month (a miracle in itself). He called me at work and asked me to do something very important for him. He told me to pull out a piece of paper and write down 'Better late than never'. Of course, I was skeptical and wanted to know what he was up to and if this was some kind of trick. He simply explained that sometimes, good things come to those who wait.
Hours later, I left for lunch. When I came back, everyone was all a buzz. "Where have you been Lizzie, people have been looking for you?” Geesh I was only gone for an hour! I was called to the front desk and both receptionists were sitting up front grinning like the Cheshire cat. On the side of their shared desk was the most gorgeous bouquet of 12 long stemmed red roses. The card attached simply read, 'Love Steven'.
Being the softy I am, I immediately burst into tears. I couldn't stop crying. We didn't have the money to pamper each other but he had saved and wanted to do something special for me. Every Valentine's day is special but this one will forever be burned in my memory. It signified one of the few bright spots in our lives when we were surrounded by so much grief.
Remember, every day is Valentine’s day, one day on a calender should not dictate your expression of love for one another. Hold your loved ones tight and let the simple yet meaningful words 'I love you' be your ultimate gift. I know that having Steve in my life, is the greatest gift of all, I am truly blessed.
AND NOW... What you have been waiting for! OUR MAN CANDY MR. GANDY!!!!!
I picked David for several reasons. He's been my muse for writing for about three months now, but I have had images of him for quite some time. I was flipping through a magazine and KAPOW! Gorgeous blue eyes danced off the page and floored me. I was panting or hot flashing (WHATever...) and had to put the book down. I believe my obsession with the young man began that day.
He is the quintessential man's man. He looks delicious in our out of clothing. Today's world of modeling seems to be fraught with men looking like little boys. There is something about the boy next door, but for me I want a MAN to fantasize about, not a little boy.
I find David's look unique. Never have I seen a male model that can look like an angel and devil at the same time. The intensity of his baby blue eyes encased in a rugged face provides a balance of hard and soft.
David's birthday is coming up on February 19th and I thought it appropriate to give Mr. Gandy my personal Happy Birthday Shout out. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAVID!
