kali921 International Picspam of Hotness, and others I ran across recently as part of the International Blog Against Racism Week, I thought I'd share some pics.
Now, I'm a white girl, who grew up in a rather ethnically mixed area of the Southwest with a particularly high concentration of Latinos and Native Americans. So I was always familiar with races outside of my own, and then in high school I went on a six-week tour of Asia which changed my life, opened my eyes, and just generally blew me away. So I suppose it shouldn't be all that surprising that I married an Asian.
And yet, the path to why and how I married him is easier to explain than that. You see, it all started with Dustin Nguyen.
Most people remember '21 Jump Street' as the show that made Johnny Depp a teen beat idol. (And the show that got Peter DeLuise into show business on his own, becoming eventually one of my favorite producers on 'Stargate SG-1. But I digress).
I thought Dustin Nguyen was the hottest dude in the cast.
Am I wrong? No, I think not.
Or this is probably a better example...
Sadly his wife was paralyzed in a car accident so we have fewer images of his hotness in recent years because he spends a lot of time as a spokesperson for The Paralysis Center. So, not only hot, but an amazing person. *sigh*
And then, not long after that, there was this show called 'Vanishing Son' about this guy who played violin and did martial arts. I'm pretty sure there was something about vengeance and justice and righting wrongs and things like that. I don't really remember, because I was too busy watching the hot guy in it. He remains, to this day, one of my main crushes.
Isn't Russell Wong just awesomely thudable?
.
Or there's this one, because he is, after all, big into the whole martial arts thing...
His biggest fansite (that I can find, being incapable of even googling anything in Chinese) is... in Poland. How's that for international?
hmm, let's see, in rough chronological order to when I fell in lust... oh yes.
Before he went on Lost and inexplicably got even hotter, Daniel Dae Kim was on a short-lived show called 'Crusade', the sequel to B5. I was one of about six people who thought John Matheson was one of the most interesting characters on the show. I still have a very long ship fic for Matheson in my incomplete folder, because I thought it was a tragedy that poor Matheson had no personal life.
Wouldn't you write a thinly disguised self-insert Mary Sue for this?
Somewhere around then I saw "Iron Monkey" and got a new crush.
Donnie Yen. He just moves so...beautifully. *guh*
And here's a small bonus pic of Rick Yune, from "Die Another Day" just because it was in the same folder -- look at those cheekbones and the pouty lips. yum.
Well, I could be here all night, but that's a pretty good taste of my... taste. I hope you enjoyed it and maybe gained an appreciation for Asian male gorgeousness, if you hadn't before!
