"Love will find a way through paths where wolves fear to prey." -Lord Byron

Today is Thursday, which means we need to have our Pretty Person of the Week. I've had a few options for today, though I'd been planning since last Friday who this week would be. I was obviously going to stick with the plan, and indeed I have. I am, however, having a very Kate & Leopold day today.

You see, I wrote a paper on the 19th century poet Lord Byron today. I have never concentrated on him much, but he does come up in passing whether you like it or not (particularly when you've been involved in the play Arcadia, where he is a central character though he never appears on stage). He always struck me as rakish and I could never understand how it was he was such a womanizer. I discovered some time ago that he's actually bisexual and then I theorized that he was actually just omnisexual -- that he loved sex so much he didn't much care who he had it with. Yet, somehow, in my researching him today all of those presumptions about him seem to have vanished. He's actually kind of enthralling and fascinating...and not absolutely ugly, if the portraits I've seen today are any indication.
As I said, it's been a very Kate & Leopold day.

Anyways, the actual Pretty Person of the Week is the third porn star whose blog I read regularly. Yes, that's right, Jason Ridge!
Like all my favorite everyone, the face is gorgeous...but I love, especially, how expressive his eyebrows are.
You can always just picture porn stars are just these people who are sex-sex-sex-sex all of the time. Just like Pete Ross and Jonathon Vargas, Jason Ridge breaks that stereotype, especially in his blog. Just like anyone else he's a person. He's got depth, charm, and he's continuing to learn about the world around him and life in general. That's what is most fascinating about him -- he acknowledges the lessons that he learns and tries to incorporate them into his life.
His hotness is also really versatile. He's hot with hair or a shaved head, scruff or clean shaven, clothes or naked, back or....you know I'm just gonna leave it at that. :-P
Jason is another one where I could go on and on and on about him, his physical beauty, his personality...which I could do about pretty much anyone I post as a pretty person of the week...but I think I'm just going to give you a few more pictures and call it a post.
