Silver Fox (according to the good book of Urban Dictionary):
“An attractive older man. Generally, one that has gray hair and is often desired by younger women.”
We established last week that being a screaming, hysterical teenage girl fan is possibly healthy and normal. There’s plenty of evidence these girls grow up to be successful, well-rounded women (including yours truly).
However, where does that leave a 40-something year old mum?
Sure, I’m happily married (except when he eats the last ANZAC biscuit). Ah, the good ol’ days of innocent courtship and no farting in bed.
Despite her own husband not having a single gray, a sophisticated gal needs her silver fox eye candy, right? Or as they say in Indonesian, do some “eye washing” or get her “basket eyes” on. (Don’t ask me the logic – I have no idea…)
To steal Mumabulous’ famous metaphor…it’s time for new crumpets, the age appropriate kind: chivalrous, charming, a little cultured, slightly mysterious and you know, scandal free.
Someone like this but maybe less abs because some of us can’t concentrate and get our work done. So, Emily from Have A Laugh On Me tells me…Too much hotness. Yes, I see the problem.
Turning to Mr Google, there are no surprises that George Clooney came up as the number one image search for silver fox crumpetness.
Alas, my GC days are over. I see Great Hollywood Sex God George for the philanthropist and political activist. And his fiancé is intelligent, beautiful, successful….yawn! That wedding, by the way…any day now! Prepare for broken hearts!
In an ode to my love of all things Mad Men, John Slattery who plays the wickedly selfish sexist pig, Roger Sterling has to make a mention here. You may also remember him from Sex And The City as “the politico who wants to pee on Carrie”
Then, I discover that he’s married to Talia Balsam who not only plays his older first wife in Mad Men but is the only other woman, to have ever married George Clooney!
How’s that for a Silver Fox Small World!
Melbourne Mum made a timely contribution with this piece of debonair deliciousness. Walking hunk, anyone?
Andrew Lincoln…who played that terribly loveable, sweet guy in Love Actually.
Falling into unrequited love with his best friend’s wife (played by Keira Knightley) and bares his soul to her in cue cards. Remember? Ah yes! Now I can hear you all swooning!
As you were!

Just so long as my husband likes grey hair I’ll be happy: found more of my own grey hairs again:( Time to crack out the hair dye again!

A small silver fox world indeed! That’s unbelievable! And yes I know a few friends who will be devastated when Mr C is off the market. Of course as you know just because he’s chained to the porch doesn’t mean he can’t bark at the cars…
And I wonder what nespresso she drinks!
Good morning Grace! I do love a bit of silver with my celebrity crush! Richard Gere is one who pushes my buttons! I used to have a poster of him in my room when I was a teenager (from American Gigilo). He is just as gorgeous now that he is silver. Have a great weekend! xo

Yep, my concentration has just left the building – what a great way to start my day!! When I saw the picture of John Slattery I immediately thought of that Sex in the City episode. It seems he is destined to be remembered for that one I think!
After living with hubby for 10+ years, it’s dutch ovens all the way in our house 🙂

My husband went grey early, so I started dating a silver fox when he was in his 20’s! Every now and again he dyes his hair. I hate it when he does that and much prefer his silver, which gets greater all the time. One of the great delights of my life is growing old together! (Although I would like to add that I am 38 and have no grey hair! Hubby seems to have had both our shares in the relationship. Yay me!)
Caitlin recently posted..Why I Write (Blog Hop)
Deep sigh. There’s certainly some premium crumpet in there, Grace. My Friday morning can always do with a bit more of Andrew Lincoln (for the record, he is a wicked tea lover. I don’t know, doesn’t that make him that much more, ahem, sexier somehow?) Kx

Although I have my own silver fox, I just can’t get past George. But I’d also settle for Mr 6-pack… thank you for making my Friday morning with that pic… excuse me while I scroll back up…
JM Peace recently posted..Just because I’m a police officer…
I always had a soft spot for George Clooney and Hugh Grant, but both could be old enough to be my dad. That’s a bit freaky. I actually was attracted to my husband because he reminded me of Hugh Grant. Looks nothing like him now… or maybe he never did and I was blinded by love!

Haha… Sadly no, I must be very shallow and ageist but I can’t think of any ‘silver foxes’ that do it for me 😉
Brit star Richard Armitage (North and South and The Hobbit) is my kind of ‘crumpet’, though I am a little partial to Michael Fassbender (Did you see him in Jane Eyre with Mia Wasikowska – never met a better Mr Rochester!)

Silver doesn’t really do it for me, but to be completely honest I rarely check out men. I say rarely because it does happen, but for the most part I have no interest. What can I say, is only have eyes for Boatman 🙂
