The soul has greater need of the ideal than the real for it is by the real that we exist, it is by the ideal that we live

Happy Holidays!



For THAT I'd go to Mississippi.






Continuing the old guy theme I started last week today I thought I'd look at a little blast from the past, Robin Segal.

Fact of the matter is that in high school I dated a guy who looked a lot like him. I still have his picture. And no you can't see it.

But Robin, or Robby as he is still more affectionately known was everyone's favorite whether they admitted it or not. He made 18 films between 1973 and 1980. And he wasn't yet 30. So he had to be popular in more places than in my fantasies.

I just had to include a picture of Robby as Billie Joe McAlister, that infamous fictional little gay boy from Mississippi. It took me years to figure out why I liked that song so much, but then again I was 10 when it was released.

And that cowboy get-up...my my.

Happy Hot Guy Friday!

BTW I've discovered that there is a blogger in D.C. who has this very same feature, with exactly the same name. I suppose duplication in the blogosphere is inevitable. I'm sure his existed before mine, so sorry if there's any hard feelings.
