Devastate is an awesome sounding word all on it’s own but I found a definition for it today that was particularly bad-ass.

thefreedictionary.com says:

tr.v. dev·as·tat·ed, dev·as·tat·ing, dev·as·tates

2. To overwhelm; confound; stun:

“TO LAY WASTE! DESTROY!”   Perfect.

I just LOVE that phrase, to lay waste. You will see it in my books, mark my words. It’s just too good.

One of my favorite uses of the word devastate is to say that someone is devastatingly handsome.  What follows is a pictorial depiction of handsome in it’s most devastating forms. These lay waste to knees, destroy hearts, overwhelm the senses, confound logic and simply stun every time…

List of things I learned at my first Hollywood movie premiere:

1. Brandon Routh aka Superman looks like he smells fantastic.

2. Most of Hollywood does not sit through the credits of their own movies.

3. David Fincher is adorable and looks like he gives great hugs.

4. Bill Paxton is adorable and disturbed by large amounts of blood, bone breaking, and the beating of women.

5. This man is beautiful, a brilliant actor, a soon to be full blown movie star and very allusive.

6. I am officially a fan of Patrick Wilson.

7. It’s still funny that my plus one was some weird European guy in a Biggie Smalls t-shirt.

8. Jackie Earle Haley is a genius.

9. Damn it I didn’t get to see Jeffrey Dean Morgan!

10. You should go see this movie.

Oh and I almost forgot!…The Chinese Theater is breathtaking…go there.
