I want to gag every time I hear a girl say, "Ooh, I would totally go lesbo for Angelina Jolie," because it's so played out! Okay, so you would go gay for like the hottest woman on earf! But I had to share who I would totally swing the other way for and my theory behind why I like them so much (on their looks, that is).

Number One: Rachel Maddow. Ever since I heard about Rachel Maddow through Reddit posts, I've been kinda crazy about her, and there is this long running joke between A and me that I would go gay for Rachel, so he should make sure I don't end up wandering around rural Connecticutt to be able to run into her then run off to our little love shack in CT.

Because how can one NOT fall in like with an articulate and witty woman like her?! Look at her--smiling with her boyish charm! Such cute cheeks! That genuine smile! I pored over her Wikipedia page and found out she had a gf, and then I look her up to see what she looks like, and I was like DAMN! I have no chance against this Stevie Nicks doppelganger.

Next up: Jenny Shimizu from Make Me a Supermodel on Bravo (along with like a gazillion modeling jobs for very famous names).

femmed up JS with Santino (UGH SANTINO)

I thought she always looked super pretty yet there was an edge to her, because at the judges' table on MMAS, she sometimes has on these sleeveless shirts, and it shows her with a tattoo of a pin-up girl, riding a wrench. Turns out she is an expert at fixing up and building motorcycles from scratch. Who knew?! Because I'm really out of the loop from the gay culture, I had no idea...

AND THEN I had an epiphany. Of how they both have very androgenous faces. Of how Jenny Shimizu looks like Daniel Henney, a famous half-Korean, half-white actor in Korea (who also appeared in the recent Wolverine movie):

Okay, maybe they don't look alike that much, but they both have the perfect facial proportions made from Leonardo Da Vinci's golden ratio dreams. And Koreans girls go crazy over his perfectly-chiseled cheeks and pouty lips. DH could pass for a girl with his purdy face, and JS could easily pass for a dude.

So I guess what I'm saying is that I like androgynous faces on celebrities?? And one can't mention Daniel Henney without mentioning Dennis Oh (another half-Korean superstar in Korea). During casual conversation, my roommates told me to google him when I replied that I had no idea who he was, and then I couldn't turn away from the Google Images search. And that's when A ruined the sudden MK+DO fantasies (that involved frolicking in the pastoral fields, on which he fed me grapes with his mouth) with, HEY--I'M STILL HERE IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED.
