Not in my book, Babes! And not in yours, either, if your gauge of wanna-slather-him-in-custard-and-slurp-up-sumdat-spotted-dick runs anywhere near where mine takes its turn around the dial.
Okay, he doesn’t have Jason Statham’s body and I’m pretty sure he can’t pitch like Brian Wiison. He’s got no full dark mane, but is rather sparsely coiffed and gray in that premature-cute-as-a-bug sort of way, looks like he’d lobster up after fifteen minutes on my beach, isn’t particularly tall and probably can’t play a mean guitar, but … ooooooooh! does he do it for me!
Assange advocates a “transparent” and “scientific” approach to journalism, saying that “you can’t publish a paper on physics without the full experimental data and results; that should be the standard in journalism.” In 2006, CounterPunch called him Australia’s most infamous former computer hacker. The Age has called him “one of the most intriguing people in the world” and “internet’s freedom fighter.” Assange has called himself “extremely cynical.” The Personal Democracy Forum said that as a teenager he was “Australia’s most famous ethical computer hacker.” He has been described as thriving on intellectual battle.
Pant. Pant.
That he’s smart certainly appeals, and he is whiplash smart. An international man of mystery? Well, duh! The guy is harder to nail down than the Scarlet Pimpernel, a reluctant star, a man long disinclined to step into the slimelight he would rather focus than hog. He is also brave, irreverent, cocky, demanding, uncompromising … and looks enough like Bill Maher to set me aching down under. (Yeah … right … that’s a reference to him being Australian … )
The fact that he is all about transparency ups my longing exponentially, as susceptibility for bullshit doing any sweeping off the feet has ebbed while fondness for exposure, and exposure of stuff that’s hard to come by — as opposed to easy (sure … that’s what I meant) — can set me to sway in breeze factor zero.
Although some accuse Julian of over-exaggeration when it comes to threats and dangers to his adorable person, the idea there could very well be a “manhunt” on for him fits and brings out the come-Sweetie-I’ll-take-care womanly stuff in me that wants to hold him to my breast and soothe his worried brow.
Whew … pass that towel over, will ya, please …
So … Mr. Assange … Julian … Jules …
If some time on a tropical island where no one … but me … will have the foggiest who the hell you are appeals, there’s an amazing view from my bed.
Oh … and bring wine.
One more thing … I don’t cook, so you’ll be doing that, too.

I'm in this one, too ...
And I'm in here, as well ...

Does the Seychelles have an extradition treaty? If not, I think resting in your bed would be quite leaky.
Don’t know. Don’t care.
Lost me on this one luv. Since he is wanted for sexual molestation and rape in Sweden and he is basically a hacker which in my mind is a thief your admiration alludes me. But I have been told to not get involved in political conversations and watch as little of the news as possible for my own piece of mind. I therefore will just say to each his own.
I think he’s cute … in a pasty, stringy-haired, ghoulish sort of way … and I don’t have a date for NYE.
I totally get that part. Just between you and me and don’t you dare tell anyone this but I’ve always had the hots for Newt Gingrich. I know he’s a pig but he does like zoos and I would enjoy dressing him in a leather harness and calling him “Big Daddy Newt”……….
Hahahahaha! And he does have that slime thing happening!
No date for NYE?
At 11:11 1/1/11 I’m jumping into the frigg’in sea. Fipp’in the damn eternal/internal odometer over. I’ve come back to my senses here and regained focus.
So, at least have a laugh or tip of the wine glass at that time here in the Med. I hope it amuses you.

Wouldn’t that be a year from this NYE, sims? Okay … I’ll do that then, then …
Hi Sandra, I just discovered your blog – and I really do enjoy reading it! I can somehow share your “crush” on Julian Assange, really. It takes more than a handsome appearance to make a man interesting, right, which is hard to understand for men, because we are not as predictable as they would possibly wish…;)
Anyway, I guess I will drop in from time to time, also to improve my English. I am trying to work on the English version of my blog to make it accessible for more readers.
Kind regards from freezing Germany – wish I was on the Seychelles right now!
Uta
Seychelles is here and waiting, Uta!
Thanks for stopping in.
Best,
Sandra
Haha! He is pretty cute, I gotta admit.
But then again, I tend to have a thing for pallid guys 🙂
Seems to be a look that grows on ya. Now that you mention it, though, isa, I’m wondering if this attraction has something to do with the popularity of vampire-based TV shows I hear are so hot in the real world these days …
hm…
You are a devious woman Sandra !!! But honest. How many other women see past his ‘save the world with wikileaks’ looks and see the real man ?
Keep up the brutal woman in you ! 😉
Shit. You’ve twigged to the ‘brutal’ thing! And I try so hard to keep that under wraps … 😉
Wikileaks is what makes democracy possible in the 21st century, Julian Assange Rocks!!!!!
He certainly rocked the world … and he can rock mine any ol’ time! 😉
Hi Sandra,
I’m a reporter with the Daily in New York working on a piece about women dreaming about Assange. Have you ever dreamt about him? what was the dream? Can you tell me about it? What do you think it meant?
Could you please let me know in the next few hours? Thanks.

Hahahahahahaha … Wonderful!
The fantasy about him in the green tights … and nothing else … is a pleasant indulgence, no doubt, with deep significance. It means the man could make my Marian any day, and I wouldn’t bitch about him not calling. Hell … he wouldn’t even have to respect me in the morning if he’s good enough and Little John is not an apt description of his best friend.
Glad to see the press in the US is still going after the vital stories that make a difference in the world.
Must say, I hadn’t thought of him as a sex symbol, but you’ve broadened my horizons! Having seen him this morning in a TED Talks interview, he’s gone from simply being my hero to being an object of desire! Ahhh, we can dream! Also, having spent years living in Africa and hoping to get to the Seychelles, never did and am envious!
