eye candy wish list: ian somerhalder

first on my wish list is....ian somerhalder {a girl can wish right; they could come true}. so why not start with this beautiful sight! i can hardly contain my....thoughts...for this particular fiiiine looking man; and although i hadnt been a fan of the facial hair, this is completely acceptable and easily welcomed....it definitely works for him. ian is beyond STUNNING just to feast eyes upon...this one picture...says more than enough. see how his beautiful dark hair looks against his skin...just, close your eyes...and dream away. for me, i can stare into those eyes....for EVAH!!!!!

my first post is for my love and admiration to the interracial relationship between the fictional characters of the TV show, HawthoRNe, Dr. Tom Wakefield {played by delicious actor Michael Vartan} and Christina Hawthorne, RN {played by the stunningly gorgeous Jada Pinkett-Smith}.

i sincerely want to thank jada and michael....they have given us a great love story and brought it to life for us...in various blogs & gossip, jada and michael has been catching flack and questioned/villified for this; but.....im SOOO proud of them for giving us this visual insight into what we {like them} know to be very true.


HawthoRNe has a LOYAL FOLLOWING and we're also VERY excited to learn that there will be a season three; the critics have been really hard on our show and a LOT of shows have been canceled without even being given a proper chance to succeed....so, we're VERY grateful for this.

i first stumbled onto this show while watching TNT and seeing promos for the upcoming episodes, but hadnt gotten around to watching it...that is---until i saw the afterglow promos where christina and tom were HOLDING HANDS, exiting james river.


NOW...that shouldnt be that big a deal, right; but IT IS...because this is an interracial relationship! not just ANY interracial relationship, but one between a BLACK female and a WHITE male, the very least showcased or celebrated in entertainment or even pop culture, heck, in LIFE.

unfortunately, its quite rare to see a relationship like this, a SUCCESSFUL interracial BF/WM relationship like this, portrayed on network television; and even if they do venture into it, its about a fling or doesnt last, cant survive or inevitably fails, etc....and then theres the negative connotations also {blaxploitation, fetish, prostitution, mistress, ghetto, crime victim, etc}...so, to see a successful, beautiful black woman like christina hawthorne w/an equally successful and gorgeous white man like tom wakefield is not just rare, its A-MAZZZZING. they are both so BEAUTIFUL to watch and its a wonderful example for the black female/white male relationship bond for network television; not since the likes of tom & helen willis of the 1970s/80s show, the jeffersons, have we seen this.....it DOES happen AND its NOT rare and we DO WANT TO SEE THIS...its a reflection of us and its not nearly as represented as it SHOULD BE.

ive written, EXTENSIVELY, on the TNT/HawthoRNe support forum of my love for this couple; their journey, their struggles, their paths crossing.....its a very beautiful love story between them. im hopeful that more, in-depth character development  of these two and this series will make this show a wonderful success. my HawthoRNe forum post are only my opinion of this show and these characters; there are also a great host of other FABULOUS posters and FANFICS, as well a MONTHLY CHAT {see forum for details}; so do check it out....its TONS of fun!!!
