So a friend of mine posts a picture on FB on one of her favorite views. I commented and we shared a few comments about such views. So I decided to share pictures of my favorite views, also known as "Eye Candy".
A couple of my candy men aged me as a total 90s girl. Actually, all of it aged me since the more current heartthrobs on my list are older men. But that's different from having discovered some of the throwback candy in my teens over a decade ago. Other girls from the same era commented on that fact and we agreed that our eye candy was better back then. I mentioned my 90s eye candy list would be incredibly long and someone asked me to make that list.
I figured there's quite enough eye candy pictures in folders on my FB and this would be ridiculously long (did I mention that?). So I thought I'd do a simple list.
But what's the use of a list of eye candy without the actual candy?
So I've decided to break them down into different blog entries and show the pictures.
Warning: There will be no Leo on this list. I'm sorry. I just won't go there.
In no particular order, here are the first 10:
1. Jump Street Candy - Johnny Depp
Also known as "Cross Over Candy" as he's arguably better now and because 21 Jump Street started in the late 80s. But the 90s is when many of us first took notice of one of our biggest crushes ever. On the cover of THE best magazine of the 90s, no less.
2. Slacker Candy - Ethan Hawke
Reality Bites was THE Gen X movie. And on paper, Ben Stiller's character was clearly the better choice. Successful, open to having a relationship, not prone to emotional outbursts or thinly disguised apathy. But who in their right mind would choose Ben over Ethan? Here's the man who started us on our poor boyfriend choices. But he was damn nice to look at.
3. Dumb as Dirt Candy - Keanu Reeves
We all know it. Boy was this pretty boy completely clueless. Again, it's all about the eye candy. The man responsible for the legions of Keanus born in the 90s.
4. Cool James Candy - L.L. Cool J.
I once had to explain what the draw was to a 21st century generation girl. It's really simple. Lips. Ladies loved those lips. And my man knew it. His body wasn't half bad, either.
5. Camelot Candy - JFK Jr.
Oh my. Our very own Prince of America. There are no words. He defined it.
6. Legend Candy - Brad Pitt
No, no, no. Pitt is not a legend. Tristan was the legend. There were many movies in the 90s to explain why Brad Pitt topped most lists, despite how over him we are now. But Legends of the Fall was where it all came to a head. Also responsible for the Tristans born around this time.
7. Funky Bunch Candy - Marky Mark
Serious actor my ass. This was by far the most delicious Mark Wahlberg, even if you couldn't take him very seriously. Calvin Klein knew his stuff.
8. Dimples Candy - Antonio Sabato Jr.
Janet Jackson had all the hot guys in her videos in the 90s.
9. MTV Candy 1 - Simon Rex
I almost hate to put this here since he's the king of douches, now. But back then we didn't see it coming. Anyone who watched Felicity religiously back in the day is aware of his small role in the series. His really, really hot, small role. That curly-headed freak was insane to not want to pursue the cute, brooding artsy guy. They are more than just a phase, you know.
10. MTV Candy 2 - Dan Cortese
Sure he looked silly with the damn bandanna. But underneath that was a nice face and a nicer body. Both MTV Candy made an appearance on What I Like About You as Jennie Garth's flames. Lucky bitch.
niiiiiiiiiiiice.
