People of my dreams by categories:

Women:
Personality:  Ellen DeGeneres or Tea Leoni (characters she plays)
Looks:  Catherine Deneuve
Brains: My mom / Hillary Clinton (even if you don't like her, you can't say she ain't smart)
Voice:  k d lang / Natalie Merchant
Money:  Oprah Winfrey

Men:
Personality:  Jon Stewart
Looks:  Robert Downey Jr / Jesse L. Martin
Brains: Bill Clinton / Jon Stewart's writers
Voice: Coldplay's Chris Martin / Eric Clapton
Money:  Bill Gates (I'd be such a great philanthropist!)

If you can get a doctor to put all these parts together, and then you either have the perfect life partner or Dr Frankenstein's recipe for a monster.

One aspires to the total package, what Cuba Gooding, Jr. in "Jerry Maguire" referred to as "the quan."

I may have met the woman of my dreams and, being dumbfounded by her appearance, missed my opportunity for happiness and companionship.

A few years after my divorce, I was at a popular "singles" dance near my home.  The fellow that ran the dance was running a promotion themed "Your Ideal Mate/Date" in which one filled out a form which asked for personal info and preferences and called for responses to a "choices" list that would create the criteria for the perfect "match".

I filled out mine and, when I arrived the next week, I found myself dancing, via the results of the process, with a beautiful blond RN/entertainer that met and exceeded any expectations that I had for the process. 

So, I froze.  I did not believe it was true, did not try to contact her, and was afraid of any results such as this that seemed so perfect.

Oh, by the way, does anyone know of an order of Southern Methodist Monks?   Hell, might as well!


Oh man, Randy! 

But you wouldn't do the same thing today, would you?
Have you ever tried through your friend since then?

I concur on the Parminder Nagra entry.


Dishy.  Never heard of her before, but I have just learned that she will soon be making a visit to my university.  Lucky me.

Gillian Anderson. And second the call for Janine Turner. What happened to her? She was far too good in Northern Exposure to fade into oblivion.

Turner spent a couple of years on the rather tedious Lifetime drama, Strong Medicine.

I watch way too much television.

Cool, from now on when a man doesn't contact me, I will assume it's because he did not believe it was true, did not try to contact her, and was afraid of any results such as this that seemed so perfect.

There's this woman in a train conductor's outfit on Playhouse Disney. She rides in a cartoony looking train and sings R and B about little birdies. I kind of dig her.

You have bad dreams a lot?   But she did look pretty good in those black boots, I guess?
