Stefani's Top 5 - Brown Eyes

So you may or may not be paying close enough attention to my blog to know that my birthday week I was going to blog everyday about some of my "favorite" things.  We'll my plans got a little derailed by, among other things, this project. (I'll write more about that another time)

There are a lot of little things in life that just thrill me. Things like color, light and shadow, scriptures about being cheerful, animals, the sound of the ocean, paper, etc. Call me crazy, but another thing that gives me great satisfaction is deep, dark, brown eyes that sparkle. I notice them a lot - but it helps if I have some other sort of connection to the person.  So without further adieu. Here are my top 5 favorite brown-eyed people.

1. Justin Bieber - I think eyes of any color sparkle when that person is happy, and enjoying him/herself.  I think Justin has a god given talent that he is maximizing.  It may be hard sometimes, but he is truly doing what he was meant to do.  It shows in his eyes

 2. Kris Allen - Um, ya... if you know me at all, this is a no brainer.

3. Johnny Depp - I struggled a little bit with this one.  It's really Captain Jack Sparrow that I always notice the sparkly dark eye on, but since Jack isn't a real person I decided to go with Johnny.

4. Mr. Darcy - Ok, I just contradicted myself.  Mr. Darcy is also fictional and I have absolutely no problem also putting Colin Firth as number 4. But this particular scene in Pride and Prejudice is the absolute perfect example of what eyes do when the person they are attached to is happy, content, in love.  Colin Firth (as is a universal truth, we can all agree on) did a fabulous job portraying the grumpy, albeit, misunderstood Mr. Darcy.  This is the first time where we see him letting himself acknowledge his contentment in the presence of Elizabeth Bennett.  {...collective sigh...}

5. David Boreanaz - Again, if you know me at all, you know I've been a dedicated Bones fan since season one (we've just started season 7).  David Boreanaz plays FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth.  I don't know if they do something extra special with the lighting or something, but this guys eyes sparkle all the time.  When he's serious, when he's intense, when he's being funny and especially when he's happy.  If it's not the lighting - he is lucky to have that set of peepers. And I'm lucky to be able to pop in a CD (or go to Netflix instant play) and view them any time I want.

Bonus

6. Brad Meyer - So he pretty much rivals any of the above individuals and he belongs to me.  Isn't he beautiful? Did I mention he's mine? 

And just as an extra, extra bonus here's Brad's alter ego Robert Downey Jr. Oh ya, look at those eyes.

So don't you love that I say "Top 5" but I always do more than that. But that's just how I roll.
