It’s not my fault you see.
My taste in dudes.
I personally point the finger at all those movies I watched growing up that have led me straight into the arms of dudes who are up to no good. Could be genetics, but I happen to think the stereotype casting of the classic teen 80’s movies might have played a part for my taste in men in my adult years.
Seriously? Let’s talk about this.
>BadBoy#1:
Okay, I suppose some girls happen to find Emilio Estevez’s character in this fine piece of John Hughes cinema classic as hot, but really dude? you were in detention cos you taped someone’s butt cheeks together. Uh. No thanks jock boy. Emilio’s character looks like the dude who I sold hits of E to in high school for 12x the amount I paid for them at a rave the nite before.
BUT Judd Nelson’s character? are you effin’ kiddin me. He was so bad boy hot that even Molly Ringwald’s character wanted to blaze. “Claire? That’s a fat girl’s name.” He even insulted her and got to rock one of her diamond stud earrings at the end of the movie. And c’mon his last name in the movie was “Bender.” hot.
>BadBoy#2:
This guy. He was so bad that all his character's names were one syllable. “Steff” in Pretty in Pink? “Rip” in Less Than Zero? He was the epitome of the rich jerk who was always paired with some nice shmoe like Andrew McCarthy. Really? Andrew McCarthy? Did anyone think that dude was hot? I mean he ended up making movies about making out with mannequins. No thanks guy.
>BadBoy#3:
Speaking of Less Than Zero…. how blazing hot was Robert Downey Jr in this one? I mean yeah I know.. the whole coked out 80’s LA thing so cliche, but man at least he was interesting! Poor Andrew McCarthy again with the wimp appeal. over you. And Jamie Gertz, bless you for repping us Brunettes back in a time where blondes were supposedly having more fun. You showed us what fun was. You blazed both of these dudes in this movie. Nice work!
Maybe it’s the Morrissey-esque pompadour hair, paired w. the casual suit, and the raging cocaine habit his character had, maybe it’s all three… but I definitely would call RDJr a “smash” and AMcCarthy the “pass” in this shot.
>BadBoy#4:
River Phoenix. He’s so bad he’s dead.
wait, that was kind of f--- ed up.
but you know what I mean. I mean, look he smoked at like age 8:
Don’t get me wrong totes sucks and drugs are bad and everything, but at least we never had to view him as a rehabbed superhero in action movies or as a bloated tv star. AND he dated Martha Plimpton, a total epic nerd-type, and we loved him for that. They don’t make ‘em like River anymore, do they? oh river…
>BadBoy#5:
Yo. How could I forget O.G. Bad Boy… Matt f--- in’ Dillon. You kidding me? This dude SET IT OFF for the bad boys. He’s like the guy you’d bring home & he’d be a smirky smart ass to your father, and your mother would say something like “underneath it all, i’m sure he’s a sweet boy.” (ie. read moms thought he was totes hottie too, into bad boys, but really hoped he didn’t get you knocked up.) This is Matt Dillon at 16. In the epic 70’s classic teen angst flick “OVER THE EDGE” if you don’t know this movie you’re pretty much losing at life. Matt Dillon held down that smug bad boy charm that wooed the pants right off the ladies well into the 80’s.
>BadBoy#6:
Johnny-21 Jump Street-Depp! Let’s forget the fact he’s a pirate now or something and super french influenced & intellectual & loves his children & is above marriage but hopelessly devoted to the mother of his children… ACTUALLY let’s not forget that. That s--- is exactly what keeps us hanging on to these bad boys. That underneath it all there’s this sweet loving guy who’s gonna love the s--- outta you & keep it real with you. Yeah, it’s possible but you just might be in the Kate Moss years of Johnny’s love, and not the Vanessa Paradis years… just a warning ladies. You can only hang on so long waiting for a change.
>BadBoy#7:
Why hello there. The young bad boy that stole Jack Nicholson’s swagger. Oh right that guy. Didn’t find him attractive at all. Psycho roles? Bad boy above the law pirate radio station loving alternative rock dreamboat? No, no wasn’t into him. Oh wait, how about this guy:
Oh as a skateboarding punk? Pffftttt i guess he was cute.
This dude right here is the precise reason why I spent many afternoons in parking lots watching boys do kick flips or whatever it is they do. This dude right here is the reason I STILL turn my head when I hear the grinding of wheels (only to be met with the sight of 13 year olds sans facial hair, therefore making me look like a lurky lady creep, but whatevz.) Yes this image right here is how & why I forged many friendships with boys on four wheels. ahhh Christian Slater, one of your most underrated influential pieces of film history. You boys in skateboarding from the late 80’s should be giving this dude a pound for all that mainstream style-d ass you got back then.
Point is… bad boys are just way hotter than nice guys.
Sorry nice guys.
I’ll be sure & look you up when I’m done having fun.
