Jane Graham....Lucky Lady

I know, I know....two posts in one day. I just received this little tidbit of information from my mother-in-law and I HAD to post about it because I laughed so hard. Looks like Jane has a little animal on her hands....

wowOwow.com Names the Sexiest Men Over 50;
These men were bringing sexy back before Justin Timberlake was even a Mouseketeer

NEW YORK, Sept. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Leonardo DiCaprio or Brad Pitt will do it for some but for Candice Bergen, "Older men have just always been the sexiest to me."
The women at wowOwow.com are publishing today their first annual photo essay of the 50 sexiest men over 50. From Harrison Ford to Morgan Freeman, to rockers Bruce Springsteen and Steven Tyler to politicos like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bill Clinton, this unexpected take on who's hot is filled with surprises and proof that sex appeal doesn't stop at any age.
What makes an older more mature man sexy? It's "no sense of desperation," according to gossip columnist and wowOwow.com contributor Liz Smith. Fellow wow contributor Joan Juliet Buck agrees, "We all know the glossy lure and sad reality of cute men. The dream is a mature man who knows what he likes, knows himself, has seen what life does, but still can laugh and has kept up his hope and is not bitter, who is curious, enterprising and strong."
The women of wowOwow: Candice Bergen, Liz Smith, Cynthia McFadden and others weigh in on what makes a 50+ man sexy, plus our exclusive photo essay of the sexiest men in five categories: Entertainment, Business, Journalism, Musicians, and Public Figures.

Watch out!
Thanks for sharing the news for all to see. :O) And I love it that Jane notified you about it!

jane said...

Ladies, eat your hearts out! What a riot. I had just told the ladies at the office that Franklin would say, "See how lucky you are?" Guess what? He called right after I told the ladies and so I told him about his "award". His immediate response, "See how lucky you are?" We all died laughing. Oh dear help me!!!

Nancy said...

Donna - you know they say that sons grow up to look like their father's - look what you have to look forward too!!

Roy'll be on the list before you know it!

And I love the "See how lucky you are" comment. I have one of those too!

sassy seamstress said...

i would be a little offended to be in the same category as Bill Clinton if i were him. couldn't they have just left bill out of the equation all together? oh well, congrats to franklin! i know jane is proud :)

Donna said...

I have to say (Don't get mad) but I think Bill Clinton is a little sexy. I know, I know, you're all gasping, but I'm being honest.

Dolly said...

I'm LOL! That's great! Jane said, "Ladies, eat your heart out." Hahahahah! I tell you what, Jane and Franklin are both a nice looking couple. And I agree with Nancy, Donna. Look what you have to look forward to. Like father like son!

Angela Richardson said...

I do think Franklin is handsome! He has that chiseled jaw line and great smile. How great to be on a list of sexiest men when you're a CHRISTIAN! See, they can be sexy too! Woohooo! Way to go Franklin!

Cissie said...

I am peeing my pants...Putting it on my blog

Donna, you have been saying that about BC since New York! hahha. gag me.

Unknown said...

Jane, you are a mess. Betta get ready fo yo man 2nite b/c he's gonna come home expecting you to be all about wantin some of him. This is a hoot and I know he'll be flying high for a few months BUT I think HE is the lucky man to have YOU! If his head gets too big, tell him to hold his horsies and look who the person is ahead of him.

Denise said...

Wow O wow, Frankie baby! Congrat's Mrs. Graham!

Denise said...

Donna, I just saw the BC comment. Are you serious? He is nasty! Bwwah bwwah! That is me throwing up!

Donna said...

Let me clarify. I think the Bill Clinton AFTER the White House years is sexy. Yes, he is a sleaze ball and a skirt chaser, but I can see the charm. After he left the Presidency, he lost that weight and took care of his temple better. There's just something about him that is sexy. I know, I can't believe I'm saying it myself.

jane said...

Just to let you all know......I think they are in ABC order....and BC makes me barf but so does Arnold. Let me go back and check but I said today that BC beat him out and the ladies at the office informed me that they were in ABC order. Just didn't want my man to be under BC and Arnold.......LOL
Jane

Donna said...

Wooo! Defending her man! I like that:)

Denise said...

That's right Mrs. Graham! Your man is for sure head and shoulders above Billy boy and Arnie!

Karen said...

Congrats! Is DECISION doing a story on this?

Christy said...

haha...this is AWESOME! Way to go Franklin!! I was cracking up reading everyone's comments, and I know Jane is a very proud wife. :) Donna, you too because I think Roy looks like his dad. Oh, and I'm with everyone who says BC is YUCK!! Sorry Donna. LOL. ;)

Pam said...

I can hear Franklin saying that now that I read Jane's comment!! Well, how about that!!

Happy Four said...

Your little ones got those great looking genes from both sides of the family tree. Your family and Roy's are stunning.

Jennifer said...

That is so funny! Wouldn't ANY man love that though?

Donna, if you start buying lots of black wrap dresses from Gap we'll know this BC thing has gone a little too far.

Donna said...

Actually, Jennifer, wasn't it a navy blue dress?

jday said...

Nice little Republican girls should not say nasty things like that about Bill Clinton!!

I am all with Denise on that one- throwing up.

Jennifer said...

Oh, you know what...I think you're right. Leave it to you to know the correct facts about Bill Clinton. :)

Kristi Smalley said...

Jane - you lucky dog, you!!!! He is a nice looking man. Aren't you excited, Donna b/c Roy Austin looks like him. Would he be mortified that we are all talking about him on a blog? LOL!

Hannah, I died laughing at your comments to Jane. You are so funny!

Donna, to your defense, Bill Clinton does have a natural charisma about him. That is what makes him attractive to women. Even though I don't agree with him AT ALL, he is a brilliant man.
