Dream Boy
Okay, so I know I'm in my twenties... and I probably shouldn't be having crushes on boys, considering that I'm married and all. Especially considering the men I have crushes on are always somewhat unavailable. And by unavailable I mean of an inconvenient sexual persuasion. And even more inconveniently- deceased. Take Montgomery Clift, for example. Whilst watching A Place in the Sun last night (one of my favorite movies of all time!), it occurred to me why I might have said crush. Or perhaps why I found my husband to be quite attractive when I first met him.
So... which came first, the Monty or the Phil? Ah, it's an endless mystery. One which will never be solved. So for now I shall just marvel at the uncanny resemblance. Sigh. I'm a lucky girl, eh?
(I know, I know... two swimsuit posts in one day. Subconsciously inspired by all this snow? Who knows?)
love love love love Monty. You've seen 'From Here to Eternity' ??

oohhh..I watched that movie last night as well, one of my favorites. Monty is a hottie, there is no denying it.

the really funny thing is that when i saw that first picture, i was like, "hmm, he looks sort of like her husband!" and then i scrolled down and saw your comparison. heehee!

hahaha! this made me laugh, mainly because I have a habit of falling for the deceased--how funny that sounds, right?

that is uncanny!! Wow! You are a lucky girl, but I dare say Mr. Phil is also a lucky man...

I agree with all the other readers! My first glimpse was, "That looks just like pics of her husband!" A babe indeed.

mandi, ethan and i finally watched this a night late, last night. It was so amazing and *intense*. WHOA. Shelly Winters was so fabulous in her patheticness. lol! I can't say i'm a fan of Mont Clift's looks, but he's a dang good actor! Let's see.. what old actor have I fancied lately.. hmm... definitely Jimmy Stewart! swoon!

Hey that’s why we call it dream boys. That’s how it should be.
