Speaking of James Bond and Mikael Blomkvist...

Honey, come here and let me kiss your boo-boos:

Ah, he is capable of smiling:

What is it about just the right amount of stubble that is so irresistible?

I’m posting pictures like these every weekday, of a man who is attractive and desirable, because I like to look, dammit -- and because the female gaze doesn’t have to be such serious business.
(If you have a suggestion for someone we should female-gaze at, feel free to email me with a name or a link to a particular photo.)

Thank the gods the air conditioning is on.
I'm just sayin'.

You could argue that there is a lot more female gazing going on in Casino Royale than male gazing. Who would have thought that in a James Bond film?

I don't like that first photo - he's trying too hard but yeah I like me some Craig - he's serious.

Somebody needs to write a biopic about Steve McQueen ASAP, so Mr. Craig can be cast to play him.
It's really pretty eerie.

Forget it, ladies. His heart belongs to another.

See, for me, DC in Layercake was way hotter than in Casino Royale. For a blond, he's pretty damn yummy!

Mmm finally, Daniel Craig.
Casino Royale was swoon-worthy for many reasons, not the least of which was Mr. Craig.

For me, Daniel Craig is the very definition of jolie laide (though I suppose for a guy it should be joli laid).

Not really into blonds but like him as Bond. Nice picture too.

He has gorgeous eyes...

Guys like this, there have been so many pictures published that look smoldering and sexy that where there's suddenly that natural smile, it's jarring. That smile picture doesn't do it for me. That's why I wish they'd publish natural pics more often, so you could get used to it. Unless you want to keep the character fantasy. That's valid too, I guess...

I remember seeing him in small parts before Bond and thinking he stole the screen every time he was on. And then I saw Bond...oh lordy! He has a ruthless intelligence that I find incredibly fascinating.

Oh yum. I've been watching him with Alex Kingston in "Moll Flanders" (which I had to buy myself because Netflix does not carry it) and he is the sexiest highwayman ever. Love the little twinkle in his eye.

I really liked him in The Mother. Love is The Devil was great, too.

LaSargenta, The Mother was great! Definitely not a feel-good movie, and not overly comfortable to watch. I thought all the performances in that were great. Enduring Love was done by the same director, and Craig was wonderful in that as well.
Hmmmm. Might be a good weekend for a Daniel Craig marathons. :)
