there is nothing wrong with looking at a person, being it male or female, and saying "damn!"

Before I get down to what we are here for, I want to address a subject that was brought up to me this evening. I received a message accusing me of objectifying men through my series of Verbaledudette's Olympic Hotties. I disagree. I do not believe I am promoting any sort of objectification. Sure, I write about how talented and beautiful they are, search for shirtless pictures, and make up stories about us making love in almost every room of their homes, but they are chosen because of admiration. All this is is talented athletes that look good, sprinkled with colorful sarcastic humor. 

I think it is important to recognize a body that someone has worked so hard to create in order to be the best athlete in their sport. I write these posts as I sit in my pajamas, regretting not going to the gym, and eating Girl Scout cookies, while these men work their asses off to achieve a goal. There is nothing wrong with looking at a person, being it male or female, and saying "damn!" 

The Webster's dictionary defines objectifying as "to treat (someone) as an object rather than a person." I do not see these athletes as objects for sex (but hey, if their down..)  I see these athletes as inspirations for their commitment to their sport, as well as their physical appearances. 

Their blue eyes may have come naturally, as wells as their love for eating and watching TV (common hobbies I have noticed,) but none of these men were born with six packs. With that said, this series is a thank you and a round of applause to those who have put forth the effort and have worked to claim the title of an Olympian. 

Now let's hear it for the boys and meet tonight's contender! That last days are approaching fast and I am sad to say it is almost time to seal the envelope of another successful collection of beautiful boys. But let's not get teary eyed yet, because Mats Zuccarello is here for dinner and a movie night of all the Lord of the Rings films: 

Norwegian and twenty six years of age, Mats plays forward in the daring, slamming, tooth chipping, big bodied, game of ice hockey. 

His hobbies include American football (that he learned from his teammates on his New York Rangers club team,) golf, and tennis. 

He speaks Norwegian (naturally,) English, and Swedish. Three language options means you are practically dating three men. One night you are cheering on your Norwegian boyfriend at his hockey game, the next night you are going to the clubs in New York with your English (American-grinding) boyfriend, and then the next night he is serving you Swedish meatballs. (Get your head out of the gutter. I see your eyes widening and I can hear your giggling over here. Heehee.) Three's company all packaged nicely into one brawny bod. 

His nickname is The Hobbit. Now, I think most people would not admit to the nickname, but he has the confidence and a good sense of humor to not only accept it, but promote it. So what I am saying is if you have some fantasy to sleep with foreign creatures, here's one. 

During the playoff round at the Sochi event he was unable to play because of a hand injury, so tonight when he comes over, let him have the first bite of ice cream and give him an extra kiss. Lord knows he deserves it for working so hard and because well, if you have the chance to kiss him, I would take that opportunity.  

"What did that Verbaleudette writer say about my meatballs?!?"

Thank you for your support of Verbaledudette! Have a lovely night. xo

living off PBJ's and eggs

Snowboard slopestyler Chas Guldemond caught my eye when I was researching Hotties because he was the first one I found shirtless. And it has been love ever since:

without clothes

with clothes

Originally from New Hampshire this 26 year old moved to Tahoe to pursue is obsession with snowboarding.

"After a lot of hitchhiking to the mountain, training everyday, and living off PBJ's and eggs" Chas found his way to his first Olympics.

i wonder what he looks like standing straight.
he always seems to be tilted to the right. - just saying. 

Although fun facts about Chas are scarce, I was able to collect this cool website: http://www.chasguldemond.com/  I love how simple and basic it is. "Straight forward, easy to remember." - Captain Jack Sparrow. But who needs information, when you can just look?

oh yes. blow the wind so my shirt just magically outlines my sexy body. 

like this picture? pretty mountain scenery? look below at some photographer magic happening!  

I cannot wait until I can afford to build mountains in my room to shoot portraits. 

Goodnight. Xo

his position style is "skip"

Although curling may be a bit more fun to play than watch, one thing is for certain - Thomas Ulsrud makes it worth the time. Please say hello to our oldest hottie so far: (but like, do we really care?)  

He may be 42, but goodness, Norway knows how to raise them right. Thomas plays golf, off road biking, and supporting the Norwegian football team Valerenga. 

how can you not love those pants? oh, and his cute bum. 

His position style is "skip." (I obviously do not know anything about curling. I mean, I think we are talking about curling...)

And clearly, Verbaledudette is not the only one in love.

Happy Toews Tuesday!

Jonathan Toews an ice melting, sizzling stick, with puck hard abs from Canada: 

At the age of twenty five, this hockey player already has a previous winter games under his belt, but also a variety of titles such as the youngest member to join the "triple gold club." 

He started playing hockey on ice rinks his father would make in the backyard. (My neighbors tried to make an ice rink in their front yard one year. There was ice for sure, but not much rinking.) 

look! a snuggle buddy for you when he is off playing his games! looks just like him!

He loves to watch TV, play video games, and go out to eat after every game. (Sounds a bit like every boy I knew in high school. But hey, no judging, they turned out great. In fact, most of them are hotter now then they were then. (I hope they think the same about me too, because goodness, my hair did some wild things in those high school days. Also, pretty sure I wore a lot of multi colored jeans. A fashion trend I kind of regret. Oh well, at least my kids will think it was so "retro mom.")) 

just in case you were wondering what his children would look like. 

He was once quoted saying this: "You become what you think about and focus on the most. See yourself attracting the things you want to accomplish. Thoughts and desires in your mind can become a reality."  

Happy Toews Tuesday! xo 

he broke his finger is 2011 and sprained his knee in 2014

Today is President's Day in the good ol' US of A and what this means is that every school across the country had today off, except for the Academy of Art University. Sound familiar? Yeah, that is the school I go to.

I haven't had the chance to tell you about my school days, because this blog has been dedicated to the hot men fighting for medals in Russia, but let me fill you in a little. I am taking a old fashioned, analogue, dark room, black and white, film photography, class. I haven't developed my own film and prints since I was in Italy (a moment to reflect back on such great times..thank you.) Last class we developed our first rolls of film and today we developed contact sheets. It felt so good to be back in the dark room, a good playlist on your headphones, your hands dipped in fixer, and creativity in your control.

If you have ever been with me while we confessed our deepest desires, you might already know this, but the dark room is like my ultimate dream kiss spot. So while I was developing today, I couldn't stop thinking about someone coming in and layin' one on me. And that special guy was tonight's Olympic Hottie, Xavier Bertoni:

25, French, and a half pipe skier, this blonde babe captured my heart when I first saw him on TV with Kevin Rolland while participating in the XGames.

His hobbies include parachute jumping, motorcycles, mountain biking, and quad biking (not sure what that is, but if I get to see your quads, hey, it can't be too bad.)

He broke his finger is 2011 and sprained his knee January 2014.

He has a tv/web series with Kevin Rolland at followus.tv and it includes videos of them skiing, eating, traveling, sleeping, and sometimes singing in the shower.

Goodnight. XO

i have always been in love with ludvig

The first time I met Ludvig, I was the photographing athletes in the finish arena during a World Cup.

I guess to say that we have met is a bit of a lie. 

See, I have taken Ludvig's headshot multiple times. Some of these times we actually had a conversation. But alas he does not know I exist outside of the annoying blonde demanding every athlete takes off their hat for a photo, and I am left longing for him. Honestly, I think he is so beautiful and I ultimately dibs him for life. 

Please welcome Ludvig Fjalstrom: 

Twenty years of age, Ludvig is a Swedish freestyle skier specializing in moguls. 

It is unknown how tall he is, but I can tell you he is interested in "music and girls." (Would you look at that.. I love music and I am a girl! He is interested in me!) 

He is in a band called Tegel. I was their 100th follower on Facebook earlier today. (No, I cannot find any links to their music that I can attach to the blog.) 

Goodnight. : ) xo 

my car is fast, my teeth is shiny

I was sitting in my kitchen this evening eating dinner, and listening to Wilco, and facebook stalking tonight's hottie when my sweet Mother texted me. The text read: "Bobby Brown - yum." I looked from the text and back to my screen where Bobby Brown's Facebook profile pictures were organized across my desktop. Clearly, you now know where I get my good choice in men, because tonight's Olympic Hottie was chosen by both me and my Mother without previous discussions about this white teethed beautiful man. So, without further delay, feast your eyes on Mr. Bobby Brown: 

Bobby Babe Brown is 22 years old and comes to us from Denver, Colorado. 

He throws his sexy 6'2 body off jumps made of snow as a slopestyle skier. 

In high school he graduated a semester early and during his last semester he took an online tennis course. A week after he graduated he won his first competition taking first at the Dew Tour. 

He had a husky named Steele growing up and is a die hard Broncos fan. 

He has a matching tattoo with his little brother on the inside of his wrist that reads "DTH" but no one but them knows what it stands for. A brotherly secret bond to help them remember what is important in life. (Hey sissy, let's get matching tattoos! Maybe on our buns so it's really a secret? Let me know your thoughts.) He also has Denver tattooed on his forearm.

Before he competes he taps his skis three times, then his helmet, then a piece of wood. (No i didn't make that up. Yes, it sounds like something I would say.) 

Frank Zappa wrote a song about him: 

link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGqITiXK42M

Some of the lyrics go like this: 
Hey there, people, Im bobby brown
They say Im the cutest boy in town. 
My car is fast, my teeth is shiny. 

And the last thing. I am really shy to tell all of you this, we know how I usually keep to myself. I am not open about my relationships, but I trust you devoted followers with this. 

I am dating Bobby. 

Whew. I feel better getting that off my chest. I am so excited that you finally know! I felt like a winning Bachelor couple who couldn't tell the world they were in love because the season didn't air yet! But now! Now I can shout it from the roof tops! 

Sweet dreams. : ) xo 

side swiping smile

Usually, I would find a way to casually introduce the post. You know, tell you a cool fact about my day or what the weather is like in San Francisco this Wednesday night - but I am just way way way to excited about tonight's man that I cannot waste my time telling you about about my smart ass comments in class tonight.

Ladies, give a warm and bulking hug to Slovenia's HOT HOT HOT hockey player Bostjan Golicic:

Twenty four years old with a side swiping smile with brown curly hair messed up like you spent all day in bed talking about your favorite childhood memories. AND THOSE EYES. Can you say caramel and chocolate swirled blend with vanilla ice cream? Gimme, gimme, more.

game face - but remember you are his pre game and after game. : ) 

Six feet tall and currently living in France, this beautiful specimen plays forward position, shoots left, and kisses oh so very right (you can tell by looking, but don't worry, I am planning on testing this so I am giving you scientifically proven information. I can make out with him, for science, you know?)

look at his adorable smile, it sweeps to the side and he sweeps me off my feet. 

And a picture is worth a thousand words, but I can tell you, this next one is worth more than seventy one million. (#71 is his jersey number, just so you know.)

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can promise you will sleep well after that.. You know how we love man butts over here at Verbaledudette. Mmmm... yes please.

Have a lovely night and do not spend to much time admiring those sweet toned, perfectly firm, why are they so sexy, buns.

xoxo
