Looking for a guy like this....

It's hard to find a good man, if I could find a guy like one of these then it might be a whole different story.....





Blake Mycoskie is the Founder and Chief Shoe Giver of TOMS Shoes, and the man behind the growing One for One movement. As of April 2010, TOMS has given over 1,000,000 pairs of new shoes to children in need through giving partners around the world.



And he's totally hot!!!

Or there is always David....

"By the time you read this, David de Rothschild will be floating somewhere in the middle of the Pacific Ocean on the Plastiki, a 60-foot catamaran made primarily from used plastic bottles. Assuming, that is, all goes as planned. ‘‘The boat only averages five knots,’’ he says with a laugh about the ambitious 11,000-mile itinerary. ‘‘That’s about six miles an hour.’’ But the 31-year-old heir to the Rothschild banking fortune is no stranger to adventure. Having visited some of the most beautiful places on the planet — in 2004 he trekked across Antarctica via the South Pole — he now travels to some of the most blighted, sharing his stories and spreading awareness through his Web site, adventureecology.com."
Rich, adventurous and a Rothschild....tres, tres chic!!!

And then there is Anderson.....

I don't even need to explain who he is.....I'm quite sure he plays for the other team but his passion for issues near and dear to my heart make him irrestistible.  And his mother was Gloria Vanderbilt, I mean really...what's not to love....
And of course, there is my favorite blonde, Paul Walker.....

We all know that he has a smokin' bod but did you know he recently started his own non-profit?  It is called Reach Out Worldwide (roww.org) and he created it after the Haiti earthquake to provide immediate medical care when there is a natural disaster.  A great concept, a great need, a great all-around guy....

Now I know why I am still single, I have not found a guy like this anywhere near Richmond....maybe in 2011!!!

Resolutions for 2011

Welcome 2011!!!!  I love the start of a new year, it begins full of hope, fresh starts, new beginnings....

So let's start the year with resolutions, and not the kind that wear off within a few weeks but the ones that have a chance of sticking and spreading to others....

I resolve to wear my fun shoes any day of the week.  No more waiting for a special "night on the town."
