Making amends


In the beginning, there was Jensen Ackles.

The original muse avatar. The hottie that started it all.

It's been almost a year since I began selecting weekly muse avatars, and save for a few weeks and a couple of late starts, I've amassed an impressive list of inspirational guys (and a couple girls) to fuel my creative energy.

But I've been a bad blogger these past few weeks, friends. Ever since I headed out for holidays in August, I've been delinquent in pretty much everything - reading, writing, dancing. Distracted, I suppose, by other dreams I thought needed some extra TLC.

So today, I shall try to make amends.

Many of you have sent emails asking about my dancing adventures and while I have responded personally, I'll say it here: I have not given up. When the fall season begins, I will haul my butt back out of my comfort zone and give it my all. Until then, I hope to tackle a few of the "trial" sessions this week.

But, because I'm feeling ULTRA guilty about my crappy blogging this past month, and for Miss V - who made a special request for the following - I present this buffet of previous muse avatars. Hopefully this will make up for my delinquency? (Oh, the first to name each of my muses (real, not screen names) either in the comments or to my inbox at dawnmius@gmail.com) will win a special autographed picture of Sam and Dean Winchester from Supernatural...)

With the next (and best for reasons I can't disclose QUITE yet) season of Supernatural JUST around the corner, I'd be remiss if I didn't give a nod to the other (hot) demon hunter:


And of course, there were a number of "vampires" who caught my fancy:






A few musical muses:



A handful of my fave actors (though not necessarily for acting talent in all cases...just to be clear):











A magician:



And two sports hotties:



So... am I forgiven?

  3. Ha! Forgiven, indeed.

    And may I say that Jensen Ackles is the PERFECT muse? I know he's married, but he only did that because he hasn't met me yet :)

    Thanks for the pictures!!

  6. Perfect. Great collection of muses...mind if I borrow?

    And while I appreciate the penance, never feel guilty about life getting in the way. It happens. You do a great job on your blogs. Great topics.

    Off to while the drool off the computer screen!

  8. Alicia - happy to have made your morning :-)

    Donna - I totally knew you'd pick those three. Muah. <3

    Amparo - I knew you were an Ackles fan. So sad he AND Sam married this year. I agree - he IS the perfect muse.

    RT - clearly not all THIS woman could ask for since I seem to change my mind weekly, but absolutely worth the *sigh*

    Jamie - you, uh, had me until suckles :-P Just kidding. Excited to dance with you this season, too. xo

    Thanks Tielle. I hope you have good wipes <3

    Candy - I was kind of worried about stepping on your toes, ya know. Seems like you've got that market sealed up tight. xo

  9. Absolutely forgiven! That was a mondo-dose of eye candy and makes me feel MUCH better (I am neglecting the food snacks, so the eye snacks become much more vital, ne?)

    May even have to go work off a little energy after that!

  10. Hart - I completely hear you on neglecting food snacks. If I can't have real candy, I may as well feed the eyes. And your eyes! Glad to be of service...

  11. Hot Damn! I'd say your forgiven! What a great blog post!

  12. WOW!!!!! Even better than I imagined.

    And to all those vampy hotties, I have two words:

    BITE ME. Please. (okay so that's three, but I thought I should be polite!)

    Vicki - anything else you'd like :-D (Kudos on the manners. Your momma taught you well...)
