For Refreshment Only Sunday (FROS) is . . .

He’s a grin waiting to happen.

He’s a late night dream.

He’s a cyclops in a leather jacket.

He’s all that even while playing in the sand.

He’s James Marsden and he’s our FROS.

Happy FROS, m’dears!

    I have to say that he was yummy as Cyclops. Now I must go back to the episode of Castle where he and Kate almost freeze to death which is the second part of the episode with the dirty bomb. Oh how I do love me some Castle. Oh a good idea for a FROS would be Misha Collins – he played Castiel on Supernatural *drools*

    1. Karen Hawkins says:

      He rocked those glasses, didn’t he? Somehow I missed him on Castle (how did THAT happen?) so I need to do some Castle watching, too. :)

      I’ll check out Misha! I’m always looking for suggestions, so thanks!!

      1. Kelly Proellocks says:

        You’re welcome! :-)

  2. Archer says:

    My 3rd favorite X :)

    1. Karen Hawkins says:

      Ok, I know your first X — has to be HJ, right? But your second? MF, maybe?

      1. Archer says:

        Wolverine was my fave even before Hugh. My second is Gambit. Although I also love the young dr x.

  3. Freshechelle says:

    I’m enjoying his role on 30 Rock as Liz’s open hearted bf where he’s the guy in your first picture. Yum yum.

    1. Karen Hawkins says:

      I do love his smile. *sigh*

  4. Judy F says:

    Thanks Karen, He is fine

    1. Karen Hawkins says:

      You’re welcome! I have your other two suggestions, btw, but have been on deadline and haven’t answered you yet. I’ll be sure to do it next week, though, so be on the lookout. :)

  5. Susan Mallery says:

    Ah, I love a man with a good, strong jaw!

    1. Karen Hawkins says:

      Mmmmm. Me, too. Yummmm.

  6. LouisaCornell says:

    So terribly, terribly handsome! So terribly, terribly young ! Makes a gal want to turn cougar!

    1. Karen Hawkins says:

      If you’re going to turn that corner, be sure you have a guy like this waiting on you.

  7. Sheridan says:

    I LOVE him. He also seems like he would be fun to hang out with… and look at. :D

    1. Karen Hawkins says:

      . . . and touch . . .

  8. Kelly R/W. says:

    The first picture has me wanting to wrap my arms around him. The second has me wanting to put a shirt on him. (I guess I am a more muscular chest gal!)I just keep focusing on that first pic and my mynd gets awl dyscombobulaytid!

    1. Karen Hawkins says:

      Lol! Yeah, I get sskdjieid cnslsk, too. :)

      He’s a bit younger in the second picture but he’s more buff now, as you can see in the final shot. I just loved his expression in the second picture. Such a smoldering look!

      1. Kelly R/W. says:

        Smoldering…yes…hot…

    *swoons*

    1. Karen Hawkins says:

      ***fans***

  10. JenG says:

    How could I have forgotten how good looking this guy is??? I need thirty lashings with that towel thank you :)

    That was a nice break from dealing with the sick munchkin and cleaning my house. Thank you very much for that :P

    1. Karen Hawkins says:

      Tee hee! I’d like thirty lashes with his towel, too. Hope your munchkin gets better soon!

  11. Suzanne Enoch says:

    He is yummy! I loved him as the heroic prince in “Enchanted”. He even looks good animated. *g*

  12. Kristina says:

    Oh those Oklahoma boys. They’re so scrumptious.

    1. Karen Hawkins says:

      OK is WAY OK.

  13. amy1242 says:

    Loved him as Corney Collins!!

    1. Karen Hawkins says:

      He’s played some really diverse parts! I hear they cut a lot of his scenes in XMen.

  14. CateS says:

    Weren’t those glasses first worn by LaVar Burton as Geordi La Forge in Star Trek Next Generation?

    1. Karen Hawkins says:

      I thought they looked the same, too!

  15. Julie says:

    Very nice! :) I loved him in 27 Dresses, too!

    1. Karen Hawkins says:

      I almost put up a video of him in that movie, but the clips were all wayyyyyy too long. He was so cute in that!

  16. Pamiam says:

    *sigh* I love Sundays!

  17. denise says:

    he is adorable

  18. denise says:

    this has nothing to do with James, but I know the area of East Tennessee/SW Virginia, too–my Dad’s family has been in that area for over 150 years. I’ve been going there my whole life and my parents retired there. We might even be kin. ;)

  19. Mary Anne Wilsbacher says:

    I just loved him in 27 Dresses. I think I’m going to watch it just to see his dreamy eyes!

  20. E.R. says:

    He’s a multi-talented hunk. :)

  21. Cindi says:

    I’ve always heard about him but have never seen him in anything — I will be correcting that immediately!!! Whoa! What should I start out with?

  22. Cindi says:

    OMG! His LIPS!!!!

  23. evlqn says:

    So pretty, so young!

  24. Monica C. says:

    This blog always makes me love Sundays.

  25. Robin RBL says:

    Really liked him in The Notebook and 27 Dresses! He should be in MORE movies.

  26. Mary Preston says:

    COME TO MAMA!

  27. Kathleen O says:

    he is darling boy for sure… Sure perked up this poor sick gal today… Was so sick yesterday couldn’t even check my blogs… But feeling a little better today, he did the trick.

  28. Dee says:

    He was HILARIOUS in 2010′s ‘Death at a Funeral’. He stole the spotlight from Chris Rock and Martin Lawrence. Also got a peek at his cute bum…mmm hmmm. ;-)
