Let's Talk About The Husbands
Film and TVs hottest dads worth kissing this Father's Day
There was no newsletter yesterday because it was my birthday, and obviously because we’re friends, and I’m your favourite Gemini, you wished me a very Happy Birthday right? Right???
Anyway, what a weekend! There’s a lot going on, so I figured I’d help you out with some ideas on how to celebrate. Since it’s Pride Month—buy a gay person (which also includes you dear reader if you’re part of the BLT community) a vodka soda. They love that. Also, you should stream Kylie Minogue’s smash hit, chart topping new hit single PADAM PADAM. This is actually worth 5000 points for the gay community. Thanks!
It’s also Juneteenth, which means you should VenMo your favourite black person $50, and if you don’t have a black person in your life, then you have to give ME $100. And also if you need more ideas
, brilliant writer of Hung Up, my friend and mother of my goddaughter teamed up with AppleTV and curated a fantastic list of things to watch, and next time you have drinks with your friends you can casually bring it up and act superior like you’ve known about these things all along, but you have to take a sip of your drink, and after a dramatic pause say “I guess my mind’s a bit more open to new things these days” SLAY.
Tomorrow is also Father’s Day and whether your father is in the picture or not—whether he’s emotionally unavailable and inattentive, or if he went out to buy cigarettes 20 years ago and just never came back and every time you walk past a smoke shop you think to yourself what did I do wrong?—if he’s hot, I probably would have kissed him! But since I have class, and a dash of decorum, I will simply think about kissing him instead of acting on it. You know what that is? Baby that’s GROWTH! And now that I mention it—there are a lot of daddies I want to kiss, specifically those in film and television. So since it’s the weekend and you have nothing else better to do, let’s discuss! Grab the rosé and walk with me, won’t you?
Jack Pearson - This Is Us
We’re starting things off on a high note. This is Us knew exactly what they were doing by introducing us to his character like this. They said yes he’s a good father, but also he’s HOT! HERE’S THE EVIDENCE. And you know what? I don’t blame them. It’s really hard to look back at men from the 70s who aren’t Robert Redford and think—yes, I would put my mouth on his mouth or any other part of his body—because so many of them looked like they didn’t bathe regularly (and honestly, social media has shown me not much has changed in the men not bathing arena) but Jack Pearson? Oh baby he’s different. Just look at the towel he’s using to cover up his bits!
This man will run you a hot bath, light some candles, bring you a glass of wine, and rub your feet while you tell him about your day. Yes he has a few red flags, but he’s hot!
Randall Pearson - This Is Us
I know you’re probably thinking OMG Meech! You can’t have a father and son on this list! How uncouth! Well if Jesus didn’t want me to fall prey to the temptation of the flesh, he wouldn’t have allowed this shot of Randall’s abs all shining and glistening to come across my TV screen! It’s not my fault! Randall made me do it! I mean just look at him!
Does Randall have some deep-seated issues that he absolutely needs to work on? Yes. Is he a work/workout-aholic? Yes. Is he a good father? Also yes. Would I bend him over like a magician bends a spoon? You bet your sweet ass yes!!!
Bob Belcher - Bob’s Burgers
As I said before—it’s Pride Month, and one thing about me? I’m going to celebrate a fellow bisexual burger king! Is Bob a great father? Jury’s still out on THAT—but he DOES make an amazing burger, and the puns on his order board? 10s across the board.
Atticus Finch - To Kill A Mockingbird
There really is just something about a man in a suit. Even more things about a man in a THREE-PIECE suit. Atticus Finch may be a handful, but I have big hands. He would come home from a long day of work lawyering, and I would have food on the table and neat glass of whiskey ready for him. O’ captain my captain!
Cameron - The White Lotus
Now, if his wife is to be believed, he may not even BE a father because he was out spreading his seed god know’s where, she was also out in the club, with the trainer, getting her legs stretched. Honestly, good for her. But if they ever separate, I need him to know I am right here waiting. With open arms, and an open mo—oop, sorry, my mind got away from me there for a second. Anyway, is Cameron terrible? Yes, but that doesn’t mean we can’t have a fun summer jetsetting across Europe, solving the murders of people who die along the way and then make a great escape so as not to draw attention to ourselves. I mean, it’s the perfect plan! Theo James call me!
