If I had to be Spanked

I mean had to be, as in no way out, by George Clooney or Eddie Redmayne, who would I choose? Come to think of it, who would you choose?

Why am I asking? Well, inspired by an hilariously one-sided article in the Daily Mail (which I don't buy) about Poldark's leading hunk Aidan Turner causing women across the country to dampen their knickers (they didn't use that precise term) and a counter view in the Sunday Times by Vogue's deputy editor Emily Sheffield saying he was 'old-school', I got to thinking about it. 

Now the Mail is smut dressed up as a respectable tabloid in my opinion, the ST a respectable weekly not wanting to miss out the smut, but only in a high brow way.

The Mail suggested women were focused on Mr Turner's attributes, abs and buns,

and a scene from last week's episode where he skinny dipped nude in the Cornish sea,

the ST's guest writer opined that modern women were probably more interested in finding out who his hair stylist was. Hmm.

The ST printed a list of Old-school vs New Fem Buff, part of both lists below:-

Old - Matt Damon, Russell Crowe, George Clooney, Bruce Willis, Harrison Ford, Matthew McConnaugey.......

New - Miles Tyler, Benedict Cumberbatch, Eddie Redmayne, Andrew Garfield, Sam Smith, David Beckham.........

I think I must be 'old' woman, cave woman in fact, because I have to say I didn't give a monkeys who Mr Turner's hair stylist was but I did appreciate him taking off his shirt to get down to some hard graft and I did notice what little I could see of his pert buns and broad shoulders as he waded into the Atlantic. That's not to say I don't like any of the 'new' list at all.

I must admit I slightly disliked Ms Sheffield's assumptions, probably Vogue isn't for me then, and I didn't entirely agree with the Mail's either but overall I think women still like a man to be hunky and masterful, at times:) even though it might be politically incorrect to say it.

And if I did have to be spanked by George or Eddie, I mean forced at gunpoint, well I think I might just have to go for George.

Have a good week.
