Karin thanks the shirtless man from Texas

I don’t know what the weather is like in your part of the world, but in DC you could fry an egg on the sidewalk. I am tempted to start stuffing ice in my clothes. I walk to lunch and seriously have dreams of working in a sarong and a bra. But I control myself. There are some gals in town who don’t feel the need though. And on the pages of the fabulous world of tabloids, there is so much retouched girl skin, it’s like we live in a nudist colony.

So I must ask an age old question: with all this flesh, where is the man candy? Well, anywhere Matthew McConaughey is. Even if he is not your type, as a red blooded American woman, I have to appreciate the fact that the man is always naked. And I mean always. I just Googled him and there was nary a stitch on him in any photo.

Luckily the zany character from Texas has a pretty decent bod. Good tan, penchant for board shorts, six pack abs. And he is ready for you to check it out! He is rather well known for cavorting in the (almost) buff with Lance Armstrong; those two may be the original bromance. But I think where I appreciated his bod the most was in the life-changing film, “How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days.” Matthew is forced to take off his shirt after he is splashed by some mud on his motorcycle and then what do you know, Kate Hudson and him get frisky in his parents’ bathroom. The man must have a clause in every movie. No nude scene, no muscles McConaughey. I’ll take it!

Typical Matthew pic. I bet he even goes shirtless to black-tie affairs.

Here he is not wearing a shirt in a venue where others are clothed. It's probably a state dinner.

Biggie Letter0029

I guess I’ve never heard Brad Pitt talk about the S&P500, but I’d venture to say, even Brad wouldn’t sound as sexy as American Public Media’s Kai Risdale when he talks about the day’s economic news. Whenever I happen to catch Marketplace on NPR, Kai’s surfer-dude, Southern Cali voice reels me in, making just about anything he says sound good. Ironic, since I usually HATE talking about things like money and stocks the state of the market.

It’s just a shame that my Stat 200 or Microeconomics professors in college didn’t have a voice like Kai’s!

"Oh, Hi, Kai!  Talk to me about mergers and acquisitions!" (I know this is Mathew McConaughey, but it's also exactly how I picture Kai looking as he talks on the radio during Marketplace)
