Dirty Pretty Boys

So I know this may count as jumping on the bandwagon...but I went and saw "Twilight." I read the novels and they didn't change my life...but I really didn't think the movie was really that terrible...plus my inner-13 year old finds Robert Pattinson to be rather pretty.

Which got me thinking...I have a certain soft spot in my heart for dirty pretty boys.

I don't mean that I like them to smell as if they haven't bathed in years or months or weeks. I mean that I've always kind of had a thing for guys who look a little rough around the edges. Boys who may not be clean cut and perfect all the time. Boys with tolerable hygiene issues.

And my love for dirty pretty boys doesn't just contain 'famous' people.

It started in high school...with boys I was around every day.

Which brings me to my Top Five List of Dirty Pretty Boys.

Dirty Pretty Boys

5. Charlie Day

Who He Is: One fifth of the cast of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia"


As pretty as I think Rob McElhenney is, he's not quite dirty enough. Charlie Day's character on 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia' is an entirely different story. He doesn't bathe. He's probably illiterate. But dammit, if he isn't awesome as hell. Charlie Day is genious playing him...and I have Mari to thank for showing me the way.

Dirty Thoughts:

Mac: I do not even understand the smell coming from your body dude.
Charlie: Oh my god dude relax. Dude I forgot to put on deodorant, OK?
Mac: I have never once, never once seen you wear deodorant Charlie, never once.
Charlie: Yeah well you never seen me once wash my testicles either but that doesn't mean I don't do it every Friday.
4. Ryan Dunn

Who He Is: Ryan Dunn is probably best known as Bam Margera's right hand man.


Whenever Bam would cook up a scheme, it was Dunn who put the plan into action. Unfortunately, this also got Dunn into quite a bit of trouble from time to time. Whenever there were skits that the rest of Bam's crew refused to do, the assignment always somehow got handed to Dunn (sticking a toy car up his ass in 'Jackass' anyone?).


Dirty Thoughts: "I'm about to hit some haggard backwoods crap."

3. Bam Margera
Who He Is: Jackass Extraordinaire. Creator of 'Viva La Bam' and co-creator of 'Jackass.'

Dunn may carry out Bam's dirty deeds, but he's been known to do his own amount of crazy shit. Bam seems down to earth and normal...well. As 'normal' as one could consider Margera. He refuses to move out of Pennsylvania and into the spotlight. He's also somewhat fucked in the head. For some reason, that works for me.


Dirty Thoughts: “Nothing is really "safe".”

2. Robert Pattinson

Who He Is: Edward Cullen in 'Twilight'


There's nothing I love more than a guy who's humble. Case in point: Robert Pattinson. Doesn't see his mass-market or indie film appeal. Doesn't think he can act. Relaxed. Goes with the flow. And he doesn't wash his hair. Where the hell do I find them?


Dirty Thoughts: Cue this up to around 5 minutes. 'Nough said.


1. Ryan Adams
Who He Is: Only my favorite singer/songwriter/artist/poet/writer/most favorite concert experience/socially awkward dirty guy ever.

Ryan Adams has been love to me for years now. He's so down to earth...and now that he's sober, he's so well spoken and generous. Adams' music speaks to me in so many ways. He may release a lot of music, but that to me shows that he just can't turn off his creativity. Ryan Adams IS love to me. For real. A balanced math equation. Ryan Adams = Love.
Dirty Thoughts: "I'm a little hungry, and I need some stimulus. I've already done all the dirty things I could do today: I had some sex, then I smoked a couple of cigarettes, I had coffee, and now I'm done. Don't rewind that! It's okay to say that people have sex in this world!"
