Bitchery Reader Beth sent me a few pictures of Sébastien Chabal, a French rugby player dubbed “The Caveman.” Should we need a muse for future romance, Beth says, “is very big and very wild-looking, wth long tangled hair, but to my mind he looks like nothing so much as a romance cover hero.” She’s got a point. Take a look:
Also, many, many of you forwarded me links to the big news of the weekend: J.K.Rowling outed Dumbledore, prompting what may be the funniest LOLCat I’ve seen in a long ass time:

hamanahamanahamana o.o that’s the kind of guy I need, a guy who could possibly pick me up and keep me from hurting him if I end up getting pissed at him. WOW. :: is very fast, hits hard and gets very mean when angry::
and as for Dumbledore, her making him in love with Grindlewald makes it stupid for me. I thought he just didn’t want to hurt his friend, but oh noooo she had to go a step further and make him go “I’m gay for you so I don’t want to hurt you! *sob!*” :: rolls eyes:: so stupid.
I wouldn’t kick him out of bed for eating crisps, although I think that beard needs a serious trim. : )
My husband is big guy, 6’2” and muscled—not very fem looking by a long shot. He wears his hair long and the upkeep and maintenance isn’t that much. He goes through a lot of shampoo but he just puts it in a ponytail before going to work. His biggest vanity time is spent on his beard.
Will agree on the out-doorsy part. He’s a network engineer so doesn’t have to worry about hair length being a danger. However, he’s also a woodworker and is very careful to pull all that hair out (tight braid stuffed under a baseball cap) of the way before starting up the saws.
I know several guys who let their hair grow out when they got out of the army. They were sick of having to get haircuts all the time. Of course, they’re computer programmers, not cowboy-ninja-hockey-players.
All this perving on rugby players seems a little strange to me . . . a couple of my mother’s brothers played rugby for Ohio State University, then later for the Cleveland Rovers: .
Here’s my Uncle Dave (back in 1995) all the way on the right: http://www.clevelandrovers.com/RoversAlbum/albums/1995/photos/photo349.asp
Big and burly just about covers it.

Ouch.
French rugby player = every Julie Garwood hero. IIRC, all her heroes are big and burly, and Chabal certainly fits the description.
Personally, my current favorite Frenchman is Jean Pierre Martins, who played the love of Edith Piaf’s life in the recent film “La Vie en Rose”. That DVD is definitely going on my wish list the moment it comes out and I expect to pause and reply the scenes he’s in. Piaf’s life would be considered over the top if it ever formed the plot of a romance novel. She wasn’t always nice and the drugs and liquor clearly took their toll, but Marion Cotillard is astounding and the Martins is alone worth the price of the DVD.
When does long hair equate need for conditioner? I’ve long hair and rarely if ever use conditioner.
As for the caveman, nope. I still like them skinny.
Holy crap. My word verif is writing69. I wonder if someone is trying to say something to me.
No, God, I only write regular-strength trash.
Ok, so the Dieux Du Stade calendar is nice, but EIGHTY DOLLARS? holy cow, not that nice! I like the New Zealand All-Blacks pic better 🙂
