Smouldering Cads

Ok, first it was Colin Firth as Mr Darcy that made my bodice heave and my corset stays tighten. Now it's Toby Stephens as Edward Fairfax Rochester.

At least I'm thematically consistent, right?



Plus, he's the son of Maggie Smith! I mean, who better for a MIL, right?

Jane Eyre miniseries, imdb info for Toby Stephens, an unofficial fansite.]

snap! I may have perused that web site last night, too.
Toby nostrils are a little to flared for my taste, but I thought StJohn was hot (in a grumpy, repressed sort of way...hay, I'm consistent!)

MIL?

I know DILF, and MILF and FUBAR and AWOL... MIL is a new one on me...

Spyd, I thought St John was hot too! (And not just for the delicious "Sinjan" pronounciation.) Maybe I have a thing for repressed preacher boys too?...

Yani, Mother-In-Law!

Handsome, yes, but he looks quite a lot like his mum, which effectively kills any fantasies I might have had. Love her acting, but I'm afraid there are some roles I just wouldn't want to visualize her in.

It was great, wasn't it? We both enjoyed it enormously, even if Toby didn't really do it for us. I googled Haddon Hall (where it was filmed) and really got into that too. Whatever turns you on.
