Celebrity Crush

The absolute love of my life is Stuart. He lights up my life in such a beautiful way. I just cannot type enough about how gushy he makes me feel.

But this Foxtel thingy has brought a new person into our living room. Kevin McCloud

It's more an intellectual crush, so Stu has nothing to worry about (as if he ever did!), but this man is an engineer, focussing his talents on architecture and product design. He wraps his tongue around the most delicious, descriptive words, and is also fluent in French, Italian, and God knows which other languages. And he's so darn sensitive.

Having dabbled in the arena of industrial design myself, I can attest to the fact that most men in the industry are sooooo self important, so worried about their own image, that they have no time to ponder the needs or feelings of the users of their product or space. They're just concerned about whether the shade of green that they've used is futuristic enough.
Kevin worries about the truth of the materials used, whether the inhabitants will be able to interact with the space on a spiritual level, whether the community around the building will be impacted, and what kind of environmental effects can be expected. And he has the most wicked, dry sense of humour.

Honestly, women, treat yourselves to a viewing of Grand Designs. A truly melty experience. If you get to watch it with Stuart by your side, well, it's the nearest thing to an intellectual threesome. Oh yeah.
