THIS MONTH'S EYE CANDY (Courtesy of the Coney Island Hudsons): EVE MYLES. Duw bendigo 'r Cymraeg! Those wonderful Welsh have given us the star of "Torchwood". As Gwen Cooper, Eve Myles kicks serious ass, is beautiful, has outstanding acting chops (she's acted with the Royal Shakespeare Company) and she even looks good in a police uniform. Another plus is that she's managed to snog about half the cast already -- and we've only got one season under out belts. There is also some slight, tenuous, almost subconscious "Gillian Anderson" vibe about her which adds to her allure (since about 10 years ago I had a "Scully" thing -- Whoa! Sounds like I oughtta have that lanced!) For some wacky reason, it's almost impossible to find a GOOD photo of her on the internet (yet one more of the VAST failings of the ho-hum internet, I might add). These pictures are OK but you really have to see her in action to fully appreciate her. What's more the beauty goes hand in hand with an incredibly winning personality and sharp wit. All this and she usually dresses in black. Can I even ASK for a better woman?!?!?!
Then, as if all that wasn't good enough, there's the added endorsement of the Finkenator who, upon viewing a little segment of a Torchwood episode in which a potentially dangerous alien device was being wielded by our Eve Myles, exclaimed: "Oh sure, give the dangerous thing to the CUTE one!" Wow, a ringing endorsement from Finky!!! Need I say more!??!?!?!?!?!!!!!? OK, I will. A Welsh newspaper voted her the seventh sexiest star. I know it's not as huge as having Finky worry about the fate of the cute girl, but it's STILL pretty impressive.

And yes, I realize my Welsh is atrocious. Apologies to Richard Burton or any other Welsh peeps reading this.
