Attractive, Living Men That Are Also Famous

Unless you've been in a coma for the last 4 months and just woke up an hour ago, you are well aware that the folks of People have named Channing Tatum Sexiest Man Alive 2012. They have a complete list of Sexiest Men Alive on their website. Let's not pretend you haven't already examined it.

You have seen this cover before.
A friend and I were doing our own scan of this year's list and found it to be a bit ... lacking. We have 2 major complaints: firstly, the entire thing is somehow called Sexiest Man Alive when it really should be called Sexiest Man Alive Who Is Also Very Famous Although As The List Goes On They Either Get Hightly Unknown or Highly Average Looking Because There Are Honestly Not 186 Incredibly Hot Guys Out There Whose Names Most Americans Know.
That brings us to the second problem: there are not an endless amount of dead sexy famous men that are still alive today. And the people behind People always have to bring new names, each and every year. Unfortunately, it's not like 50 stunningly attractive, chiseled guys have the decency to become household names in a year. That would be a lot of breakout stars.

But! My friend and I are not the sort to merely complain about a problem. We immediately sprung to action and labored an entire afternoon to give you the following list of At Least Somewhat Attractive and Definitely Famous Living Men Sorted by Hotness. There are 30.

Dress And Shoe of the Year 2012

It's the middle of December, and that means it's time for us Egos to crown the best dress and the hottest shoes of the year. Because this is our second year of doing this (check out the top dress and shoes of 2011 here), we've gone ahead and declared it tradition. Last year, our grand winners were Nina Dobrev in a Donna Karen stunner at the Emmys and a gorgeous pair of Valentino lace pumps.

So, this year. 2012.

Although it may feel like twenty-twelve wasn't the most exciting year for red-carpet glamour, everybody remembers our top pick for best dress. Personally, this is my favorite and so I'm thrilled to present you with


THE BEST DRESS OF 2012

 Gwyneth Paltrow in a stunning white ensemble at the Oscars. Quite possibly the only time a cape has successfully been worn on the red (purple-ish?) carpet and definitely one of the more interesting Oscar looks. The dress and cape are both Tom Ford.
Everybody I showed this thing agreed it was pretty and interesting and gorgeous and new. If you're a person who hates it and is reading this right now, please comment that and increase my statistical diversity.


Moving on...


THE BEST SHOES OF 2012

 These really pretty Giuseppe Zanotti heels won Best Shoes. I'm not sure why or how, but something about them appeals to me very, very much. You know, I was this close to picking something a bit more 'fierce' but then I thought, damn, I love these way too much.

So that's that. On a side note, notice how just the dress (without the cape) paired with the shoes makes for a wedding outfit. What does that say about us Egos?

Now what do you think? How horrible (or awesome? Maybe a bit awesome?) do you think this year's picks are? Will you perhaps get married in them? Be sure to leave a comment!

Half Life: Full Life Consequences

If you haven't seen this one yet, you should. Full Life Consequences is a hilariously bad Half-Life fanfic you can read here, and below is the dramatic reading of chapter one, set to music and video.
