female gazing at: Matthew Macfadyen

By request of readers Nina and Lorenzo, Matthew Macfadyen:

Macfadyen was such an excellent Mr Darcy...

...that I must give you two pictures of him in that role:

I saw him at the theater on my first trip to Stratford-on-Avon. He’s just as cute in person:

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.)
