Havana, Miami and making out with Andy Garcia

Posted on June 5, 2009 Written by ripitup

It was one of the dreams you regret waking up from:

I am in this exotic and tropical place (a mixture of Miami and Havana)- It is sort of a vacation with my date- it is like we are staying at this holiday resort sort of a place, owned by my old friend (sort of an ex-crush/flame actually.) He is sort of this big shot entrepreneur. Anyway: here is the catch: the ex flame isn’t over me, and I don’t seem to be over him- And guess who’s starring as the brilliant/good-looking/passionate flame? Andy Garcia!!!

Andy makes clear he is still very much in love with me…And I am stunned. And happy. And after everything he does to show me how he feels, I ditch the date. Hey- a person you like or a person you love? Not a hard choice to make. So it is up to me to make a gesture- after  kept putting himself on the line for me all the time. And I rush in a late night board-meeting-to everyone’s dismay- lean towards him, grab his collars and kiss the man. And he kisses me back…And it is not a PG-13 family movie 5 seconds kiss. It is a full-blown,mutually passionate kiss filled with angst and want and love and relief…Oh yeah…And then cut to one of our rooms ( who cares whose room, really) and we continue kissing there…
Then I wake up. Seriously??? I mean I hate waking up at the best bit!!!

Look it is easy to interpret everything in the dream:
1) I love Andy Garcia, he is a great actor and a beautiful leading man.
(When a man loves a woman, Ocean’s 11, 10 things to do in denver when you are dead…)
2)I am in the middle of writing a story with a strong ex- flame factor involved.
3)I am a hopeless romantic who is also addicted to fun and passion.
4)I caught a glimpse of Andy’s The Lost City before going to bed, but I was so exhausted I decided to catch it later…

Which fun dreams did you hate waking up from?

Allure of the Older Guy: Pierce Brosnan, Keanu Reeves, Andrew McCarthy and Andy Garcia

Don’t panic. I don’t mean older as in old. I have tendency to be attracted to good-looking men in their thirties  and sometimes 40s even ( Banderas, Reeves,Bonjovi…40s are the new 30s, lookswise and lifestyles).(mind you, I am in my mid-20s). And I have to admit I still fail to see Brosnan as too old. A couple of years ago, in his mid 50s he still looked great. Let’s take a look, shall we?
Pierce
Pierce Brosnan. I love this guy. He just looks freakin' gorgeous. He plays Robert Pattinson's father in Remember Me? You take the son and I'll take Pierce. Deal?

Pierce Brosnan is in his 50s. He looks much better than he did in his 30s. Of course I am talking about certain type. Fun, funny, confident, modest, not afraid to kick as and a true romantic at heart. I hate the word old-fashioned, yet when it comes to romance,the guy who can pull it off, just scores big on the sexiness chart. But the thing is it has to be passionate and heart-felt and in no way pretentious.

Keanu at 44 in Street Kings. Great movie, good acting and...He looks so ugly, doesn't he?;)

Andrew Mccarthy plays this billionaire in Lipstick Jungle where he sends cars and jets and pulls out all the stunts, to take her to a date. He can afford it and he enjoys it. But here is the thing, attraction kicks money’s ass. For me,at least. So trust me I pick a gorgeous yet struggling 25 year old over the old and unattractive guy any time. But here is the thing: this character Andrew is playing- is cool.

Andrew McCarthy as Joe Bennet, Lipstick jungle. Shame the show had only 2 seasons. It was a lot of fun to watch and Andrew had that charm that almost reminded me of Mr. Darcy in Pride and Prejudice.

Charismatic. Funny. And pretty cute. He does look good in his suit—and I happen to label suits as turn offs so many times! So it is the jokes and the voice and the smile and, get ready- he is there for the girl. Bingo!!! Ad trust me I have seen Andrew in movies where he was 20 something and he was not half as attractive.
My friend couldn’t have been more indifferent to Andy Garcia (not his acting she was just not into his looks), yet after watching one particular movie- she would’t mind kissing the character he was portraying. He is what? 39 in that movie? An ex gangster with a conscience? Suits and no jeans?

Andy Garcia. Smooth. Very smooth. In case you are wondering, it is a really neat film.

  But then the way he picked the girl he became besotted with…He might have said some cheesy stuff but it is the voice, and the way he looks at girl,how he means what he says: that he may not be able to take her breath away, but he will try. Honesty, charm and more charm. Not to mention sincere and funny. She was so intrigued, she agreed on a date despite having a boyfriend. The date was so fun and romantic, she invited him in afterwards. Don’t get me started on the way he kisses…. Oh, did I mention I am more into tall,well-built dark blondes who wear jeans and plain t-shirts and have long or longish hair? But what wins me in the end is a good kisser. A good kisser is the one who makes you want more. Who doesn’t push your limits and follows your lead instead. Who knows that the more you like someone, the more passionate the sex gets and it just becomes more fun and more satisfying for both. He can kiss her cheek or forehead or the eye yet you can feel that the girl is already wanting him- and she is getting high just because of a kiss!!!!! The word we use is devour…Oh boy!!! He devours her, and puts his whole being into a kiss…and she ends up craving him more than anything or anyone else…

So, excuse me but I like sense of fun coming with maturity. Just like i want romance and fun at the same time. So basically, I am screwed. I have a feeling that these combinations exist only in movies…Oh well, doesn’t stop me from wanting it….

Samantha or Charlotte: When It Comes to Dating, Which Sex & The City Character Are You More Similar To?

Kim Catrall as Samantha Jones, Sex and The City

You may or may not be familiar with Sex and the City, so let me introduce these two polar opposite characters on that show.
Samantha (Kim Catrall) is a total man eater (not that the men have problems with that).

She has sex like a man. (no strings attached, one night stands are priority and she has no boundaries.) Really. Threesomes, videotaping her bedroom activities, blow-jobs… You name it.

Charlotte (Kristin Davis), on the other hand, seems like a miss goody two shoes. She always searches for love, rarely has one night stands or no-strings-attached sex. She ended up marrying the one guy who was supposed to a bed buddy. So she really seems quite like a nun next to Samantha.

Kim Catrall as Samantha Jones, Sex and The City
Samantha Jones: “I am trysexual.I’ll try anything once.”

Now, the funny thing is my friends are so different when it comes to their private lives, some make feel like the Samantha among them: Casual dating, sex talk and all that. And most consider me quite rebellious. And some are so trysexual (a term coined by Samantha herself- meaning she will try anything at least once), they consider me as a Charlotte.

Isn’t it funny? With one group of friends I am considered the wild child and with one I am a nun!!! Whereas I am neither. I am a hopeless romantic but I do want my casual holiday romances that won’t last. I pick up guys from a bar, but I just have a great sexy date with them, but that doesn’t necessarily mean I’ll have sex with them. So where does that leave me?
