Babe of the Week

God forbid he obtains anymore allure.

For those of you who have lost hope in   the physical appearance of Leo being somewhat admirable, shame on you! If I could, I would cast plagues upon all of your Leo-forsaking houses. Shame on you for you are no better than a modern-day Victor Frankenstein. I, however, have not forsaken him. I have not given up hope, and do you know why? Simply because he is the epitome of a 21st century Eros. He is and will always be a Double Babe, regardless of what he looks like. The picture here is from his latest movie The Great Gatsby -which was supposed to be released in December of this year but will now be released in the summer of 2013. He has, once again, collaborated with the amazing Baz Luhrman, the writer and director of the movie and of 2 of my favorite movies; Romeo+Juliet [which starred Leo as Romeo Montague] and Moulin Rouge. In this movie we get a sense of the Leo that once was:baby-smooth,evenly-tanned and stubble/facial hair-free skin, as soft as my plush teal Northface, golden blonde locks of Pantene-inspired ecstasy and bright blue eyes that shimmer like limpid pools of serene babbling brooks that a mediocre Poseidon would scorn in envy. Even so, the physical aspect of Leo should remain just a perk in the movies he takes part in. He is a true artist in his work; passionate and believable, both of which are traits forgotten by many of today's sad excuses for actors/actresses. Who can forget his role as Frank Wheeler in Revolutionary Road, or his incredible performance as Romeo Montague in 1996's modern-day version of Romeo+Juliet, or extremely moving portrayal of a mentally-ill Arnie Grape in What's Eating Gilbert Grape which gave him a well-deserved nomination for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor but, unfortunately, wasn't enough to earn him the win. He is the most underrated actor of his time, our time, all time. Only a mere 3 nominations for Academy Awards, but no gold. He lives in Oscar-Squalor. What will it take for Leo to get some damn recognition?! What about Leo?! I'm sure one day he'll have his time in the well-deserved spotlight, yes, one day. Until then, kudos for now, Leo.
                         -I'll never let go, Leo.
