Today’s Hump Day Hotties is the special Prison Break edition of Wentworth Miller, brought to you by Mad Madam M.

Title: I’m stuck in Folsom Prison and the time keeps draggin’ on.

Mad Madam M: Well actually Fox River, but you get the idea. As you may have guessed, here are the Prison Break pics! Oh, how I love the pretties on this show!

Mad Madam M: Two hot boys in a roomy cage…what girl could ask for anything more?

Crystal: Um…to be locked IN the cage with the two hot boys? And for someone to lose the key to said cage.

Mad Madam M: They’re bringing sexy back…

Crystal: And sexy looks aaaaaaangry. They had a horrible, awful, no-good, very bad day.

Mad Madam M: Normally I don’t go for tattoos, but there is something about this boy’s tattoo. It’s a work of art that should be admired…as close as humanly possible!

Crystal: Yes. I can’t say more because I might drool on my keyboard. Yeesssss.

Mad Madam M: As if the cage wasn’t good enough, now we have them in chains with Wentworth giving a hot “bring it on” look!

Crystal: I am bad. Hear me purr.

Mad Madam M: Okay, maybe this image didn’t come from Prison Break , but the boy is posing for a mug shot. How was I supposed to resist?

Crystal: Look! I didn’t even have to ask for his digits! He just carries them around and flashes them at chicks. Sweet!

Mad Madam M: A boy with guns in front of sunset! Oh, such a romantic scene! I could tear up at any moment from the beauty of it!

Crystal: He has guns. I may have mentioned about the relationship between a boy and his equipment. And Wenny has two. I’m not sure how that applies to the equipment rule, but it’s kinda hot anyway.

Mad Madam M: See, I was just telling you…they are bringing sexy back!

Crystal: And it better not ever leave again.

Mad Madam M: So maybe suits don’t normally belong in prisons, but I think we can make an exception. I mean, if Bond can recover from his heart stopping in 30 minutes, why can’t prisoners wear evening jackets and slacks!

Crystal: Obviously, this is Family Day at the local maximum security prison. You know, where they spiff everything up and all…

Mad Madam M: Who knew prison uniforms could promise so much pretty?!?!?!

Crystal: Again. Me. Two boys. Locked cage. No key. Yum.

Good luck to all who are nominated, voting opens February 1! I MAY have nominated a ton of people this morning, but I’m not saying who.

Later today, Twice in Blue Moon, my Valentine’s Day book from Forbidden Publications will release! Yeah baby! It’s my first threesome book and takes place in the same world as Big Girls Don’t Die (which comes on on Valentine’s Day from Cobblestone Press). So buy ‘em both, you know you really, really want to!

When Lena walks into the Blue Moon bar on Valentine’s Day, she turns Rachel’s world inside out. She’s a werewolf who scents her mate, and nothing will stop her from claiming what’s hers.

Rachel has always assumed that when she mated with Jerrod she’d never know another lover, despite her longing for both men and women. No werewolf would be unfaithful. Ever. She’s terrified of how the man she loves will react when he finds out the instincts that drew her to him two years ago now pull her to another woman.

What’s a werewolf to do when she finds her soulmate–twice in a blue moon?

There are two people releasing over at Cobblestone Press today that I want to point out to you.

First up is from a sweetheart named Yolanda. (MY STEPMOM DID THIS COVER *squee*)

Faerie Dust by Yolanda Sfetsos

Shay Lee is a Fae-Hunter, hunting fellow Faeries amongst the humans.

Cases are always cut and dry, but now that she’s hunting Glen Row, Shay starts to question her building emotions. Even though it’s forbidden for Faeries to fall in love…

Go buy it!

Dark Knight by Jodie Becker

Knight is a dedicated Sergeant, but her world is shaken when on a recon mission her crew are slaughtered by aliens that merge into the night. The only person that can save them is an alien himself…or is he? A time when ‘the enemy of my enemy is my friend’.

Buy it here!

Welcome to a special Wentworth Miller edition of Hump Day Hotties, brought to you by our sponsor Mad Madam M.

The title for this edition? Wenty and the Pretty.

Mad Madam M: Nobody puts Wenty in the corner…unless he wants to be. And then it is perfectly fine. Except I have no idea why he is holding sunglasses and why the top of his jean is undone. Wait his jeans are undone…never mind. Screw a reason! I don’t need a reason!

Crystal: I don’t know why he’s staring so hard at that wall, except maybe if he’s envisioning me between him and it. Yeah. That I can work with.

Mad Madam M: The boy needs to wear socks, but other than that, it is one beautiful photo!

Crystal: Yeah, because I was so looking at his lack of SOCKS. I was hoping for a lack of pants. Would have been a whole different photo shoot I think.

Mad Madam M: The hay kind of makes me uncomfortable and I do wonder how he has kept the sweater clean in the barn, but those are trifles next to the great prep-look. I have always been a sucker for the preppy look…

Crystal: I’ve never been one for barnyard luvin’ but for him I’ll make an exception.

Mad Madam M: So that has got to be one of the ugliest couches I have ever seen, but even saddled with that, his prettiness doesn’t diminish! His hotness knows no bounds!

Crystal: Dude, I think I have that couch.

Mad Madam M: Not sure which side of the fence Wenty is on, but it really doesn’t matter. Incarcerated or not, I will still love him. I mean, I have already watched him behind bars and seen him betray his best-friend, played by the hot, but not-so-bright Scott Speedman, in Underworld.

Crystal: Prison boys are hot right now. It’s the in thing, don’t you know?

Mad Madam M: He’s staring again…he is always doing that gorgeous, fine-looking, brooding stare!

Crystal: That’s his classic make love to the camera, baby look

Mad Madam M: If only that was the window into my heart…

Crystal: Oh, brother.

Mad Madam M: There he is, doing that amazingly hot brooding stare again. If only I knew what he was staring at!

Crystal: I think he farted. But, prettily!

Mad Madam M: Just because he’s wearing a see-through sweater and is greased like a pig, doesn’t make Wenty any less manly…ok maybe a little, but the masculinity of those jeans make up for it in every possible way!

Crystal: Guest starring on Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, it the Fab Five plus One. He’s hawt, he’s sexy, he’s greasy. And he likes that backdoor lovin’…OH YEAH, Wenty you can come on out of that closet now!

Mad Madam M: Never thought I would ever be jealous of grass…or that sod could ever be sexy, but I have been wrong before, and I really don’t mind being wrong now!

Crystal: Yes. Grass is my friend. Every single person in Berkley thinks Wenty’s their new poster boy.

Mad Madam M: The eyes…oh so pretty!I honestly don’t know what more I can say on the subject. (Although I will try, I have no doubt!)

Crystal: I’m too sexy for my picture, too sexy for my picture, too sexy for my…well, yeah we get that he’s sexy.

Mad Madam M: If only I had loosened that tie and unbuttoned that shirt…
(*stops to wipe the drool off the keyboard)

Crystal: Eww. She drooled on me! This one has the part-hotty, part washed up band geek thing going for it.

Mad Madam M: You see…he is pulling out the chair in anticipation of my coming out to the patio. And hey, it looks like the sun might be setting. I can picture it now…I’m not delusional…not at all!

Crystal: Um. I was thinking he looks like he’s about to violate that chair. And I get front row seating. Sweet.

Mad Madam M: Not only does he a have a degree in English Literature from Princeton, but…

Crystal: Yeah, I was totally looking at his DEGREE. Uh huh. When you’re that pretty it’s almost criminal to be smart too. Ah, well. He is in jail now. All is right with the world.

Blogging over at The Novelty Girls today. Go read.

I’m running late today so this is a drive-by posting. So sorry!

Here’s a bunch of pics of things that will happen when hell freezes over. Assuming you believe in hell. Which is totally up to you.

Onward…when hell freezes over…

This week’s quiz is how ladylike are you. Good luck and don’t forget to stick your pinky finger up in the air.

This is probably the most accurate of these quizzes I’ve ever taken. And, in fact, I’m surprised I scored as high as I did. Good thing they didn’t ask me if I ever belched on the phone or at the dinner table. I might have dropped into negative numbers.

You Are 40% Lady

You tend to make up your rules of etiquette, throwing all conventions aside. And while you try to be a lady (sometimes), your behavior is often quite shocking.

To celebrate my January and February releases, I’m having another contest! Pictured below is the necklace I’m giving away. To win, sign up for my Yahoo Group. (The bonus to this is I give away free books every month to members of my group, so sign up and keep on winning.)
