Man Candy Monday: Ian Somerhalder

Before I get to the goods, I want to thank everyone who has linked up with me for Man Candy Monday! Today is my fourth installment and I get extremely happy when you ladies join in on the fun! It really means a lot to me ♥

OK enough of the mushy stuff, this week I present you with the hottest vampire I have ever seen: Damon Salvatore of The Vampire Diaries (played by Ian Somerhalder). I started watching the show from day one and was all about Damon's brother, Stefan, played by Paul Wesley. Don't get me wrong, I am still team Stefan, but as this second season has progressed, I've fallen for Damon. He's the mysterious bad boy that you can't help but want to tame.

For those of you who watch the show, how excited are you for the season finale Thursday? It's going to be good!

Switching gears from a character to the real thing, here are Ian's stats.

    He is so cute. So, so cute. I'm all about Paul Wesley, just because he was on American Dreams and Everwood. Loyalty card for the win. But I have to admit, Ian's eyes kill me. He can stare me down any day. Wowza.

    He is a super hottie and I love him as Damon on The Vampire Diaries. My favorite episode was when he told Elena how he felt when she was glamoured or whatever it's called. I can't wait for the season finale. I also didn't know they're rumored to be dating...oooh!

    He just plays that perfect mix of bad boy with a good heart. Love him!

    Alright, I'll admit I'm drooling at everyone's posts. I think I've hopped to everyone. And to think I somewhat "freaked" either and thought I missed this post. SEriously. I hopped right over Leeann. Too funny, I know but very serious. ;)

    He is hot!!!! I love those blue eyes (just like Paul Walker). What's cool is Ian and I share the same birthday.

    We have the same taste in eye candy. I am really enjoying this Man Candy Monday. The question is, why am I not joining in the fun??? One Monday I will...I promise!

    p.s. what did you think of the season finale of Vampire Diaries?
