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?
