Happy Monday morning, friends! How’s your day going so far? I’m excited to be back working at the library for the first time in two weeks. Aren’t routines a beautiful thing?? It’s also THREE DAYS until my birthday and I am SO pumped! Anyway, today’s guy signifies the last of my paying homage to those wonderful actors from Buffy! This guy is charming and quite suave. His smile dazzles. And I’m just anticipating his return to the screen…

“Most of the time, actors respond to the thing that’s so far from who they are. We all want to play the serial killer and the ex-con.”

Good morning, friends! I hope you’re having a great Monday so far! Janelle and I miss my mom, of course, but I’m excited for her to write her annual NYC blog post when she gets back — look for it soon! Meanwhile, today’s guy is worldly and exotic. He’s refined, with his accent and specs. And, if his character from Buffy was really my high school librarian, I’m pretty sure I would have spent all four years spying on him from the stacks…

ANTHONY STEWART HEAD!!!!!!!!!!

“I have a very open mind. I believe that there’s a spirit world. I believe that there’s a lot of stuff out there that we don’t know about, don’t want to understand, and sometimes we don’t want to understand it.”

Happy Monday, friends! I don’t know about you, but I’m ready to tackle the new week! I’m super excited about the post Ms. Bear and I are co-writing this afternoon; it’s going to be fun! Also high on the Fun Meter? Today’s guy, who made me laugh for seven seasons as Buffy’s faithful sidekick. He battled demons on the show, but he’s shown determination in battling his own personal demons in real life. His smile is infectious. And he seems like the type of guy you’d just want to chill with and shoot the breeze…

NICHOLAS BRENDON!!!!!!!!!!

“No one escapes being haunted by something that absolutely terrifies them to the core, but very few feel it’s okay to admit what it is that haunts us.”

Good morning, friends, and welcome to good old Monday! What’s that? You’re still tired to the bone and need a little pick-me-up? Oh, I’ve been there — haven’t we all? Maybe this guy will make you smile. He’s definitely a BIG 10 on the adorkable scale. He’s funny. And he’s a ginger just like me…

SETH GREEN!!!!!!!!!!

“I firmly believe in marriage. It’s a real important decision that takes a lot of dedication and time. If you’re thinking about divorce. You shouldn’t get married.”

Happy Monday, friends, and a VERY fine morning to you! I’ve got a really exciting essay coming out this week that I’m super proud of, but first things first. If you notice a connection between the next few weeks of Man Candy, it’s because I’m deep in a binge-watching love affair with Buffy The Vampire Slayer. I actually started showcasing my favorite guys from the show last week. Today’s guy (well, more like character) loved to be bad. His hairstyle is pretty amazing. And he pulls of a British accent flawlessly…

“My personal philosophy would be don’t whine, don’t let opportunities pass you by, be willing to work hard, and remember that you don’t know as much as you think you do, ever.”
