For Carol

Yesterday, I had a reader request for the return of Man Candy Monday.  Sadly, I have not posted hot men as of late – primarily because I’ve been a. preoccupied with looming (TAX!!!) deadlines and b. trying to be more respectful of the Dude.

I worried my Eye Candy might offend him over time.  However, after pointing out Carol’s comment, he said, “Man/Eye Candy away – it’s your web site after all.”  Gotta love a Dude who’s secure in his own manliness, yes?

So here you go – in honor of the last season of Showtime’s The Tudors, I give you King Henry, aka Jonathan Rhys Meyers:

They’re finishing up this oddly-costumed, over-sexed, so-much-hotness fest with the final two Queens – Katherine Howard:

That’s me in the Katherine costume made by the Accidental Seamstress – my BFF, Larue.  Yes, it is a complete portrait recreation, including the jewelry.

The series ends with Catherine Parr, the only Queen to outwit, outplay, and outlast King Henry:

That’s Georgie in her portrait recreation, also made by the Accidental Seamstress.  Sorry, I wish I could have uploaded a better picture, but WordPress is EVIL.

However, back to the hot man!  He’s what you wanted to see anyway, right?

In a word, yum.  Alright, enough of the drooling, let’s get back to business, people.  And that business is living life frugal and fabulous.  So… what could be more fabulous than stuff on sale?  How about shopping for stuff on sale, without having to leave the comfort of your couch?  How about getting that stuffed shipped to you for just 99 CENTS?!?!?  Yeah, I knew that would get your attention.  By the way, we all owe my BFF, HaC, for alerting us to the following killer sale.

Macy’s Online is hosting their Fashion Clearance, with items for the whole family on sale, 25% to 75% off.  And you get 99 cent shipping on those Fashion Clearance items, too.

If that’s not enough for you, you can get an extra 30% off if you buy three pairs of shoes – whether or not said shoes are on sale.  If they ARE on sale, though, you get the 99 cent shipping for the sale shoes.  Oh, and if you spend $75 or more on your three-pairs-of-shoes-for-30%-off, you get FREE shipping.  Good GAH, do I love Macys.com!

Hot men and hot deals.  What more could you want on a Tuesday afternoon?

    Thank you for the man candy! Love that show; JRM is much more appealing than the Henry VIII that I picture from books. Now buckle down and finish up those taxes so you can get back to the frugalness we all know and love!

    I’m sure the Dude appreciates your mindfulness of respecting him. Here’s hoping your taxes ordeal turned out swimmingly! :-D

    You like me! You really like me!

    So thanks for the shout-out, old buddy, old pal. You’re the bomb diggity. Good luck with the taxes, and I will admit that as dismal as the clothing is in The Tudors, King Henry there makes sitting through it ALL WORTH IT.

    The Cheap Chick's Daily Deal

    Cooper Rocks!

    Many fabulous people have helped The Cheap Chick Empire throughout the years, and one of the best and coolest people to give me a hand up is Cooper Lawrence.  So I was THRILLED when I saw she had a new book out – The Yoga Club.  Dudes, you should all go buy it now and then read it and then say awesome things about it.

    Why?  Because Cooper is an amazing writer.  And?  A vastly entertaining person.  So it’s worth your time and money.  Cooper Lawrence!  She is Cheap Chick Approved.
