BIG DON LOSING IT, CAN'T TELL HUNKS APART
OCTOBER 2014:  I must admit I love running my tall men's website but, after almost eight years I am starting to go insane!  Why?  Because I've stared at so many photos of gorgeous men that I can't keep track of them.  It's bad enough trying to remember if some photo of a tall guy hugging a girl in  a bar is already on my site or not.  But that's just the beginning.  How about South African decathlete Mombowsi Meskamadenka? At least his screwy name uses the English alphabet for web pages.  Consider Icelandic strongman BjÖrÖrgle JamÖÖrgensson.  Those weird letters in their names break my web pages. All while I am being confused as to who is who.

handsome german athletes look like twinsCan you tell these gorgeous German athletes apart?  They aren't even related!  They are just really, really handsome.  And that means they have bone structure and faces that look similar. What is considered attractive is a universal opinion. It is set and well known and agreed upon.  So the subjects of the photos tend to look similar. Did I cover these guys already? Are they on my site already?  Which one is which?  I give up!  And I'm a German looking White guy with hair exactly that color too.  Imagine how I do with Blacks and Asians.  Groan.  Fortunately there are very few Asians on my tall guys site for some reason.

If you look closely you'll see that one of them has a longer, thinner chin and one of them has a  shorter, thicker chin.  Well, I guess that makes telling them apart easy.  Too bad I don't have enough hours in the day to start analyzing chin sizes in order to identify men!  I have a life you know. This website has no subscription fee.

Which brother is that? Is that Miles Plumlee, Mason Plumlee or Marshall Plumlee?  From gorgeous footballer Joe Montana's clan to all those Burgess brothers (George, Luke Sam and Tom) there are lots of sports families with incredibly good looking kids.  It just gets harder and harder to keep them straight.

Why why do I live such a life of stress and conflict that I can't tell hunks apart? What is wrong with me and my West Hollywood lifestyle?  Maybe I should move to Syria, I hear things are really popping there.




TALL GORGEOUS PRINCE IS NEW KING OF SPAIN

prince filipeJUNE 2014:  Check out the new King of Spain 6'4" Spanish Prince Felipe, shown above shaking hands with Napoleon (oops I mean Russian President for Life Vladmir Putin).   I covered him way back in Main Gallery Page 32 around 2007.  Now there are many more photos of  him online than the few I included. But he is all older and greyer in them. Gosh darn it!

Soon he will be the new King of Spain, a country wracked by economic collapse, millions of unemployed young people and a government that is wondering if a King is even needed at all. Congratulations handsome!

His father, King Juan Carlos, announced on June 2, 2014 that he was giving up the throne and abdicating. Maybe the chair had gotten too uncomfortable. Maybe he should have added a royal pillow or something. Plus, he had health problems.

As you can see at left. Holy Ravioli! Oops, that's Italian not Spanish. Whole newspaper columns are devoted to her hair. But who is this fellow Felipe?

Felipe, Prince of Asturias (whose unbearably long full name is Felipe Juan Pablo Alfonso de Todos los Santos de Borbón y de Grecia; born 968) is the third child and only son of King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofía of Spain. As heir apparent to the Spanish throne he bears the official titles of Prince of Asturias, Prince of Gerona, Prince of Viana, Duke of Montblanc, Count of Cervera and Lord of Balaguer. On 2 June 204, King Juan Carlos announced that he would abdicate in favor of Felipe. On 4 June, it was announced that Felipe will be enthroned on 8 June 204, at which time he will assume the regnal name of Felipe VI.   At least it's a shorter name.

Felipe was born in Madrid. His full name is Felipe Juan Pablo Alfonso de Todos los Santos de Borbón y de Grecia. The symbolic names given at his baptism, by the Archbishop of Madrid Casimiro Morcillo González, include the names of the first Spanish king of the House of Bourbon (Philip V); his grandfathers (Juan, Count of Barcelona, and King Paul of Greece); his great-grandfather King Alfonso XIII of Spain; and of All the Saints (de Todos los Santos) as is customary among the Bourbons. Shortly after his birth he was styled Infante, although his father was not yet king thus Felipe was not yet heir apparent.

A couple months before his eighth birthday, the ruling dictator General Francisco Franco died, and his father became King two days later. His godparents were his paternal grandfather, Infante Juan, Count of Barcelona, and his paternal great-grandmother, Princess Victoria Eugenie of Battenberg. On 30 January 1986, at the age of 18, Felipe swore allegiance to the Constitution and to the King in the Spanish Parliament, fully accepting his constitutional role as successor to the Crown.

Felipe was a member of the Spanish Olympic sailing team at the Barcelona Games in 1992. Both his mother and uncle were on the Greek sailing team at the 960 Olympics (his mother being selected as a substitute), and Felipe's father and sister were also Olympic sailors for Spain. Felipe took part in the opening ceremony as the Spanish team's flag bearer. He finished in sixth place in the soling class and obtained an Olympic Diploma.

There are so many photos of the Prince on the net now I really should make him his own gallery in the Handsomest section, but I don't want him to get all spoiled over it.
