Captured in the Wild: Caribbean Edition Finale!!!!

We have finally found our way out of the Bermuda Triangle and are ready to present to you the final specimen from the Caribbean.

There's really not much I can say about this one-in-a-billion silver fox. In fact, when I saw him for the first time, I became speechless and went running for my camera. When I couldn't find it quick enough, my significant other handed me his and said "I understand." (True story, no fingers crossed.) So to give him the proper respect, I'm not going to make a cheesey one liner about this perfectly crafted pecs or how his skin shimmers in the hot Caribbean sun or how I crave to be alone with him in the pool under the moon as the soft sea breeze blows through my hair, no i won't make any remarks like that.

Captured in the Wild: Caribbean Edition


Shiver our timbers, it's another installment of Captured in the Wild: Caribbean Edition.
Our second specimen comes to us straight from the Lido deck (of all places). At first glance you may think, "Oh my is that Bret Favre?", because I definitely did. But upon closer inspection you will notice that this is not the whiny-baby quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings, but rather a more handsome less abused silver fox.

During the cruise, I probably caught a glimpse of this silver fox about 15 times - once in the dimly lit Starry Nights bar (yes, it was a terribly themed bar that was model after the van Gogh painting), another while he was proudly strutting through the casino, but every time alone. So it is sad to say, based on my observations this silver fox was solitary (or am i sad to say?). Well if he needed company, I know I made it all too obvious (by snapping random pictures of him from afar)that I would had kept him company. If only this fox hunter knew what it felt like to be held in the arms of a NFL look-alike.


p.s. turn in later this week for the grand finale of Captured in the Wild: Caribbean Edition.

Ted Kennedy: Way Back Wednesday


There's a lot we could say today, on this day after the late Senator's death. We could make a joke or two about Mary Jo Kopechne or Chappaquidick. But we won't. We'll just say that it is a sad day for the Kennedy family, the people of Massachusetts, and the U.S. Senate.


Now on to our usual: here's a very handsome picture of Ted Kennedy before he ballooned and looked rum-soaked.

Bill Clinton.... Romantic Hero? Srsly?



We are not so much behind the curve on this one as in a completely different orbit, and the reason for that is that we have spent the entirety of the past week in a dead swoon on our chaise as a result of ol Bill's rescue mission to North Korea. We were only now able to grab the smelling salts and loosen our corset to the extent that we can post. We can honestly say that if we had been in the shoes of Laura Ling and Euna Lee, and had walked through a door in Pyongyang and been faced with Bill Clinton, we might honestly have just STROKED OUT. Either that, or flung ourselves at his knees screaming. Anyway, visions of this knight on shining white Gulfstream will keep us going next time we're locked in a Mexican prison on vacation.

Captured in the Wild: Caribbean Edition!!!!


I've recently returned from my sabbatical in the Caribbean where I was able to take some captivating photos of the rare but glorious Captain Stubingesque Silver Foxes. Lucky for me I was able to spot three, count it, three of them. Each unique and pristine in his own rights. Therefore to treat them fairly, I will honor each one in a separate post.

The first specimen is what I like to call the contemplative, but mysterious silver fox. The truth is this silver fox's wife was in a jewelery store when I took this photo and he is probably trying to figure out how much money she just charged to his credit card, but I like to keep it romantic. I will continue to think that he is planning a romantic dinner on the white shores of the Bahamas. Maybe even romance novel style - his Tommy Bahama shirt suddenly came unbuttoned as the wind blew through his hair. He turned and grabbed his wench forcefully by her hips thrusting her body passionately into his. She let out a long passionate moan as he threw her on the perfect white sand and ... I promise just came up with that and not when I took the picture 5 days ago. *wink*

John Slattery: TV ad partner


It is only a matter of a few days before the best show on teevee returns for another season. No, I'm not talking about SYTYCD or My Life on the D-List. I'm talking about Mad Men on AMC (that network you usually flip past on your way to CNN and Lifetime). As a resident of our nation's capital (and a member of the ghey tribe), I find a man holding a cigar, drinking Scotch, and wearing an expensive suit wildly attractive. Enter Roger Sterling (AKA in real life as John Slattery), the silver-haired ad executive with a need to schtoop every attractive woman in his 1960's office. He also did a stint as a politician with Sarah Jessica Vomit on Sex and the City. I like him better in the 60's, when he's not trotting Carrie around New York City.

Swedish Meatball Bjorn Borg


Today's athletically-themed post is brought to you in honor of SFOTD Sports Correspondent FoxySpice, who is this week cruising the Caribbean and hopefully taking lots of photos of Captain Stubingesque Silver Foxes on the high seas to shiver our timbers.

Back on dry land: sometimes, just sometimes, the clouds part, the mist lifts, and a perfect example of why we do what we do (ie, write vaguely squirm-inducing and inappropriate comments about men old enough to be our, uh, much older brothers) reveals itself. One such example is today's photo. Can you honestly say you would go for Roger Federer's squished mountain troll-face, or Rafael Nadal's greasy tendrils and Backstreet Boyish lack of facial hair, over such a gleaming sterling silver example as is tennis legend Bjorn Borg today? (If so, did you somehow get lost on your way to the Tiger Beat site?) If not, we can only assume you agree with us that youth for its own sake is no lure at all, but a well-aged silver pelt who has made his mark on the world will have our leathery little hearts forever.

Dr. Drew Pinsky: Helping Us With That Rash


Dr. Drew Pinsky: Caller one, you're next on LoveLine.


Caller: Hello Dr. Drew, this is OutFoxed at SFOTD. I'm concerned because every single time I see a picture of you I get this strange sensation and growth in my nether regions. Can you help me?

Jim Zorn - Redskins Head Coach

In honor of the first week of training camp, I am highlighting a clever, but sadly abused silver fox - Jim Zorn. As the Head Coach of the Washington Redskins, Zorn has either been 100% admired or 100% hated by Redskins fans, sports commentators and Redskins players. One moment he is being hailed a genius that will carry the team to the Super Bowl, and the next he is being asked to leave Washington in a tar and feathers because they were last in the NFC East. (And no I will never give Jerry Jones space on this blog.)

So to show him a little more respect than he gets from other Washingtonians, by objectifying him, here is to you Jim Zorn. Hopefully your silver sides will be beautifully lite in the Florida sun as the Redskins lose again to Jacksonville in the preseason.

Drunken Fool Alexandria, Virginia Chief of Police David Baker


Today’s fox is being posted as a cautionary… tail. (We’ll take a moment to absorb the applause that is surely forthcoming for our restraint in not saying “tail.”) (Yeah, we’re only human.) Smokin’ hot Alexandria, Virginia Chief of Police David Baker went from Silverus Foxus Pillar of the Communitas to drunken fool over the weekend, when he blew a 0.19 (the hell? What was he drinking, Peter O’Toole’s blood?) while trying to get on I-66. (We find that route traumatizing enough when stone cold sober.) Stupid, stupid fox. Do your time and make some serious amends – naked PSAs on our local NBC affiliate would be a start – and come back to us once rehabilitated. Remember, cubs and kittens – even looking jumpable as a trampoline in your dress blues is never – repeat, never ever – an excuse to put lives at risk.

Aaron Hicklin: Out EIC


What a hard act to follow, after FoxySpice upped the ante yesterday and went nuclear with (dare I even type his name?) ... Anderson Cooper. That said, I happened to be perusing the pages of Out magazine today and while I usually skip over "Editor's Letters" for the more hunky D&G ads and shirtless photo spreads, this letter (well photo) caused me to pause. Editor-out-Chief Aaron Hicklin is quite stunning in his official head shot.

Aaron, whenever you want to move a comma or catch our awkward split infinitives, be my guest. At SFOTD, we could use a hard-nosed, firm, unwavering, and dominant ... editor.

SFOTD UPDATE: Anderson Cooper


In yesterday's Washington Post an article entitled "Who Can We Trust Now?" or "Whom Can We Trust Now?" (as titled on the online edition ... Post get your titles straight!) featured people's suggestions of those who meet the Cronkite standard of trustworthiness -- and Mr. Cooper was mentioned.

"I guess Anderson Cooper would be my answer, because he always has that slight bit of cynicism when it's deserved. . . . I always said there are only two reasons to have television: war and pornography. So I guess if it's war, I'd look at him. And I guess if I had to look at any newscaster in a porno film, I'd pick him." -- John Waters, filmmaker.

We applaud Mr. Waters for sharing the same sentiment we have about Anderson. Just don't let us catch you running out the back door when we're at the front!

Patrick Fabian




Actor Patrick Fabian most often plays white-collar professional types in shows such as Boston Legal (attorney), The Mentalist (psychotic industrialist - oops, spoiler!), and Big Love (something... in a white collar), but we're confident that under that sensible raincoat, golf umbrella, bespoke suit, shirt, tie, undershirt and cufflinks beats a defibrillator that positively pulses with passion.

Eric Ripert: Le cuisinier Français


In case you haven't noticed, SFOTD is (at least currently) a DC operation. But we're trying to expand into new parts of the country, and today we "travel" to New York City where French chef Eric Ripert lives, works, cooks, and frolics. This silver pelted Frenchman (Vulpes-Argentus-Erectus-Francophonus) not only knows how to whip up some delicious aubergine, courgette, and escargot, but he was also recently awarded the Légion d'honneur by the French government. Talented and he contributes "to the defence and the prosperity of France," impressionnant! Insert a joke about a baguette here.

Captured in the Wild: A SFOTD Exclusive!!!!!

Have you ever been sitting on the Metro and caught a glimpse of a rare, but beautiful silver fox? Or been jogging on the Mall and have one pass you? Well we have at SFOTD, and to honor these not-so-famous silver foxes in that paparazzi instant celebrity style, we will be showcasing them when "Captured in the Wild".

Today's specimen was seen feeding at Nando's Peri-Peri. We were instantly attracted to him, and his dapper manner. As you can see he is a sophisticated fox with an eye for fashion. Although he wasn't feasting on some world famous Nando's chicken at that moment, he was more than welcome to hold himself over with an appetizer of me.


*Please e-mail us your "Captured in the Wild" photos with a brief description, and we will make sure to feature him in the next posting.

Brian Williams: NBC's Nightly Prince Charming


Today’s Silver Fox, the host of NBC’s Nightly News, teeters delicately yet manfully on the fine line between media and politics. You can imagine the subsequent hair-pulling, nail-tearing catfight that accordingly broke out between myself and Outfoxed when deciding who should have the honor of immortalizing him on this blog. Suffice to say that this post is being written from a seated position atop Outfoxed’s back, while his fists ineffectually drum on the floor. Ladies and Gheys, I give to you the one, the only, Briannnnnn Williamssssssssss! With his sardonic sense of humor, bloodhound bedroom eyes and vellum-like crows’ feet, he’s on our screens and in our hearts. Nightly, even.

Tim Gunn: Lifetime's Latest Accessory


Just in case you haven't been watching what happened with (formerly) Bravo's hit series "Project Runway," here's what you missed: Harvey Weinstein and his little production company took the show (after a lengthy court battle and finger pointing by anyone and everyone) to a competing network. Gay men everywhere gasped when they heard that their beloved Silver Fox and cohost of the show, Tim Gunn, would be leaving America's second gay network (Bravo) for America's first gay network (Lifetime). With the newly announced contestants for the upcoming season, now Tim and Heidi have the make it work ... somewhere else on the basic cable dial. Gunn's many catch phrases and delectable word choices never leave us wanting more. He just needs to remember: Don't bore Nina!

Larry Mize, Senior PGA Tour Member


Today's post is dedicated to my old stomping grounds of North Florida and the golf legends that have come year-after-year to compete in The Players Championship. For me, the one that stands out among these classy gentlemen is Larry Mize. While I've never seen him play at TPC, I believe he deserves recognition for being a Silver Fox that is always glistening in the rough and on the green. Larry, here's an offer: If you ever come back to TPC, maybe we can make our own fun on the Island Green.

International Fox of Mystery: Former Prime Minister of Japan Junichiro Koizumi

It turns out, courtesy of our pal Rakugoka over on Okashi Na Banashi, that
there is an actual term for Silver Fox in Japan – Kitsune! (See, this blog can be educational as well as vaguely disrespectful!) Today’s Kitsune-san is former Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi, notable for the first overseas deployment of the Japanese military since World War II.

We may objectify Koizumi-san because he looks as though he belongs on the cover of a samurai romance novel, but we love him because of his Elvis fetishism, which led to Graceland hosting a freaking state visit; his fandom of Japanese death metal (we’re not even kidding); and the fact that he didn’t remarry after divorce because he found marriage too energy-consuming. Now that’s the kind of guy we could grow old with. Well, older on his part, anyway. But seriously, we’d serve him on a bed of soba noodles any time. Or rummage under his kimono…. or something equally stereotypical and offensive.

Way Back Wednesday: Paul Newman


We're all back from our luxurious vacations to Nantucket, the Hamptons, and Laguna Beach. In honor of our triumphant returns to the working world, we at SFOTD have decided to unveil our new weekly feature: Way Back Wednesday.


Each Wednesday, without fail, we will feature a classic (but, sadly, extinct) Silver Fox. It is only fitting that our first feature is none other than the King of Lemonade (and Academy Award-winning actor), Paul Newman. The world lost this SF back in September 2008, but his large body of work -- from The Color of Money, The Sting, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, and even Disney/Pixar's Cars -- lives on in the hearts (and loins) of many. Did I mention he was pretty damn hunky in his day?

National Register of Historic Foxes: President Andrew Jackson

This week, in honor of the most patriotic of holidays, we present the first entry in the National Register of Historic Foxes (we mean, of course, National Compliment Your Mirror Day. Ha, gotcha! Though really, check out National Compliment Your Mirror Day - our new fave holiday for sure).

President Jackson's record is regarded as complex by modern historians, and we urge you to pick up Jon Meacham's excellent recent biography, but this sure ain't the forum in which to get into it. (If you arrived here while frantically searching online for a term paper for your history class, however, stay, pour yourself a cocktail and pull up a velvet chaise.) We will only say that Jackson's legendary temper, touching devotion to his wife/alleged bigamy, tendency to duel at dawn, general crotchetiness and getoffmylawndom, and most of all that silvery mane render him an American Lion among foxes.

We could make a joke about wood and his nickname being "Old Hickory," but we're too classy for that. This week. Now go buy your mirror a drink. Happy Fourth of July!

Keith Olbermann: MSNBC's Screamer in Chief


Who hasn't seen the now infamous Saturday Night Live skit of Keith Olbermann (played by "Gigli" star Ben Affleck)? It paints a pretty accurate picture of today's SFOTD: a semi-deranged screaming man with a bone to pick with anyone and everyone that comes onto his radar. Nothing gets us more hot-and-bothered than a silver fox with a TeeVee show...and an American flag. Need a hand with that flag, Keith?

Pete Carroll, Head Coach of the USC Trojans Football Team


Okay, I'm ending this week on a high note by showing off my all-time favorite Silver Fox - Pete Carroll. I first laid my eyes on this man made by the Gods at the age of 19 and haven't been able to take them off since. Whether he is leading the charge on the West Coast or producing his own version of the Iliad with me as his virgin maid, I'll always be up to ride his Trojan horse.

Hot for Teacher: Secretary of Education Arne Duncan

Even as a young cub, we were never one to crush on teachers – Sister Concepta, she of the luxuriant knuckle hair and dead aim with a blackboard duster, quite literally knocked that out of us. However, we’d make an exception for the current Education Secretary, who – in a bit of synergy for SFOTD sports writer FoxySpice – has the honor of “Most Random Background Of Any Current Cabinet Member,” having formerly played professional basketball in Australia. We’re very glad he came back stateside and committed to a career in public servicing, where we can admire him up close and personal - we’d polish his apples any time.

Ira Glass, the Left's better looking Rush Limbaugh


OK, any comparison between Ira and Rush is not at all fair. One is a bloated, pill-popping, black-shirt-with-the-top-THREE-buttons-unbuttoned-wearing ideologue. The other just soothes away life's pains with pleasant stories on NPR. Today's SFOTD features sensual tufts of graying hair, erotic Mad Men-esque glasses, that killer smile, and mmmmm don't even get me started on his extra large...microphone... Are we on the air?

Mario Lemiuex, Owner of the Pittsburgh Penguins


No matter what NHL team you cheer for, you have to shout "Let's Go Pens" when you see NHL legend Mario Lemiuex. He's one of the most talented players to ever touch the ice, and just won the Stanley Cup with the phenomenal talent of little fox cub, Sidney Crosby.

Brigadier General Mark Kimmitt (US Army, retired)


We love us a Silver Fox in uniform. Even more impressively, today’s entry is famous in Washington for being as much of a silver shark as the other genus – as came to light during his confirmation hearing for the plum role of Assistant Secretary of State for Political-Military Affairs last year, when he was spanked by the DoD Inspector General for his fierce management style. We’d still be happy to drop and give him twenty. Okay, being realistic, we could manage maybe ten. Fine… three.

Ted Harbert, Comcast CEO and Chelsea Handler toy

Have those Verizon FiOS ads been dogging Comcast CEO Ted Harbert? Not likely, since the former E! chief has been off canoodling with E!'s Chelsea Lately Handler. While the ads may resemble "Mac vs. PC" commercials (there's no question that the FiOS guy is better looking than the cable guy), Ted has it all over Ivan Seidenberg.

Jose Mourinho, Coach of F.C. Internazionale Milano


It may be that time in the international football community to purchase and trade players, but it's definitely not the time for Inter Milan to consider a new head coach. Sorry Zlatan Ibrahimovic - no more silver fox for you!

Senator John Ensign, R-NV


Breaking: Sen. Ensign admits to affair with a campaign staffer, of all the clichés. I guess the Staff Ass (and really, aren’t they all?) in question couldn’t resist running their hand through that silvery pelt…
