The entire time while reading the books I imagined Gabriel Aubrey. Yes, I know he’s not an actor and he is a bit older than the character but look at him. He’s the epitome of smoldering sexiness. I imagine most women would have the same reaction to Gabriel Aubrey as they do with the character Christian Grey. See for yourself. Can you blame me?

Hi Matt- I appreciate you taking the time comment, and your kind words. It is often difficult for me, a white woman, to feel like I have had the wool over my eyes for so many years. I have never looked at anyone differently based on race, color, sex, etc, and it wasn’t until I started dating my now husband that I realized the prevalence of racism in our society. I felt ashamed that I had been so blind to the current problems, while many are so quick to say “things are so much better in our country.” The fact of the matter is that while things are obviously different than they were 50 years ago, are we really at a point where we can be proud, or content? Often times I am much less tolerant than my husband, as he has built up a shell over the past 31 years and a tolerance to ignorant people–I have no shell, and am more easily offended at the ignorance towards my husband, my daughter, and now even myself. While we don’t experience such extremes here at home in the USA, our time in Estonia was a crash course on how to deal with situations I wish my daughter never had to face. Again, thank you for your kind words : )

William Levy would make a mouthwatering Christian Grey. Dancing With The Stars has brought him to life & he would breath life into Mr. Grey

Hi Shannon-

I think it’s marvelous that you (as a white person) speak out on “euroracism” and sober unsuspecting people up w.r.t. the kinds of racially motivated experiences people of color in Europe often have to deal with. I lived in Germany for many years, and the racism there is constant and unrelenting despite a growing diverse population- so I can’t possibly imagine what it would be like in Estonia, or any other Baltic countries (and that includes Finland).

kudos to you for calling them out on it. it is important that people who can ordinarily blend in (in a visual sense) inform on racism, because fewer people tend to believe it if you’re a person of color and discuss it openly. I can see just by the tone of the comments on your article alone that people are reluctant to challenge you on what you’ve experienced, and that is because you write from the perspective of someone who would not ordinarily be seen as a victim of racism in those countries.

Richard Madden from Games of Thrones. He is in his 20′s like Grey and has the right looks.

Isn’t the swoosh incredible!! While there are no batteries or lights, the reflective swoosh catches the light in an amazing way. They are great if you enjoy walking or running in the early morning or evening, because these babies are like wearing safety reflectors! You can see these exact shoes here: http://store.nike.com/us/en_us/?l=shop,pdp,ctr-inline/cid-1/pid-450901/pgid-450902 They run for $100 on Nike’s website. Yes, it seems pricey, but they are so wonderful, it is like you are walking barefoot on padded ground. Just the right amount of support, but it took me a second to get used to walking with such a light-weight shoe! If you wear a size 8 in Women or smaller, check out the youth sizes (size 6 Y is about a 7-7.5 in Women)–same shoes, just a little less expensive : ) Check these out: http://store.nike.com/us/en_us/?l=shop,pdp,ctr-inline/cid-1/pid-464655/pgid-464654 Same Nike Free barefoot technology, but priced at $78 in a Youth size…

Why has know one considered Ryan Reynold or Channing Tatum? Both would be fine options. Need to think of appropriate age group, hair color can be easily changed. It has to be someone that is universally sexy.
