Would you wear Ryan Gosling’s face on your fingernails?

Rad Nails just debuted Hot Man-icure, a “steamy nail set” featuring illustrated versions of our favorite pretty boys, including Ryan Gosling, Robert Pattinson, Joe Jonas, Zac Efron, and Pharrell. (Ryan Gosling is the thumb).

Available in white or clear (to be applied over the polish color of your choosing), these nail wraps, created by MTV Style Editor, Chrissy Mahlmeister, have our hearts aflutter. Unfortunately, looking down at our hands and seeing a bevy of man candy staring back up at us is really slowing down our productivity at the office. Kind of hard to focus when you catch a glimpse of Ryan Gosling every time you hit the return key. So, try these nail strips at your own risk — but just don’t blame us if you can’t get any work done because you’re too busy drooling staring at your hands.

Purchase here, for the affordable price of $18.

If I found out that this was a real-life Brokeback Mountain situation, I legitimately wouldn’t be mad about it.

What, this has never happened to you?

Bon Iver and Ryan Gosling went for a walk around the pond. They each brought me a present. Ryan brought me a pretty rock. Bon Iver brought me the clean skull of a tiny animal, perfectly preserved.

Would it be terrible and sad if I actually, like….wrote that paper?

(Also, I can’t resist the urge to mention that it’s Lorelai, not Lorelei. Because I’m the worst.)

 This has officially become too much for me, in case you were wondering if that would ever happen. Now. It’s now.

I know this seems like a cheap shot, but how could I not?

Hey girl. Happy St. Nick’s Day. I got you myself.

I’m still alive, so I am continuing to see movies starring Ryan Gosling. The Ides of March is about political campaigns and stars Ryan Gosling, so I was solidly on board.

This movie runs at a slower pace than most modern political dramas. It makes no startling revelations nor displays anything surprising about its subject - the political process and the personalities who drive it. It sets the main characters up as parts of a whole, never as individuals whom we might come to know or specifically root for. We never see the crowd, and the camera focuses on little other than moody close-ups of the key players. At times it’s almost as if they inhabit a gray ghost world, as if they’re running the campaign soley for themselves and their ideals. This lack of extras has been criticized in most reviews of the film, but I appreciated the way the film’s singular focus on the same characters creates a sense of the isolation in which they opperate. The detachment the script allows you to feel toward most of the characters is what allows the moral ambiguity of its characters to remain believable.

The characters act typically, in the way we have cynically come to expect from politicians, reporters, and those who inhabit their morally ambiguous world. They sell each other out and cut shady deals. Powerful men take advantage of young, precocious women. It was that character, the young, precociously reckless intern, that made me feel a little unexpectedly.

I typically line up unequivocally on the side of the woman - to what most people in my life consider to be an unreasonable, ideological extreme. I didn’t in this movie. I don’t know if it was because Ryan Gosling has the power to pull me away from the sisterhood or because, if my dad got a kick-ass job for me, I envision that I would very literally kill everybody before I did anything to screw it up, which made me unable to sympathize with anyone lacking the respect I have for my dad and his career. Regardless, this was a movie about something that usually makes me feel huge feelings that did not make me feel huge feelings - whether this is an ingenious subtlety of the script or a measure of huge personal growth remains to be seen, I guess.

Judging that character, who is in many ways so similar to me, made me feel the most uncomfortable. This is, in many ways, the experience of the movie: it demonstrates the ways in which we are unafraid to judge others for moral flaws they obviously betray, and the contradiction exposed when our conviction gives way to our own moral flexibility. We seem to be asked not if it is right to expect to judge a man’s personal character based on his public persona but if it is right to privately expect anything of him at all.

George Clooney, who directed the movie, sets Ryan Gosling up as his “successor” - both as a character and as an actor. Apparently George Clooney hand-picked Ryan Gosling for this role (the source here is just my brother), which makes me think that George Clooney is trying to make Ryan Gosling the next George Clooney, and I have no problems with that. My boo Ryan is in many ways the character he plays in all of my daydreams: fierce defender of women (who might actually just be completely self-involved and watching his own back) who isn’t afraid to get a little nasty or let you sleep in his whitest white shirt. I am not trying to win any awards for writing thoughtful movie reviews, so I must add that the lust produced by watching Ryan Gosling work on a political campaign for the archetype of a generic liberal dream candidate, blinded by nothing but his idealism and ambition, was at times too much to handle. I saw this movie with my brother. Give a girl a break.

This is a nice article, with lots of choice quotes from our boo: A Heartthrob finds his tough-guy side, NYTimes.com.

FEMINIST RYAN GOSLING.

You’re welcome.

“I don’t want to act much longer… I’d like to be making babies but I’m not, so I’m making movies. When someone comes along I don’t think I’ll be able to do both and I’m fine with that. I’ll make movies until I make babies. I have no idea when the handover will happen.”

-Ryan Gosling

 Who says this?? Really??

 Pretty sure you could be doing that with just about anyone you wanted to, boo.

DEAR RYAN GOSLING

by Meghan O’Keefe

This might be the most popular thing I’ve ever written, which is weird because I would have thought Al Gore’s Online Dating Profile would have gotten the same amount of hits. (I’m kidding.)(Al Gore’s Online Dating Profile should have gotten more hits.)

Drive was just… He… I mean…. God damn, Ryan. It’s not even fair.

This is pretty much just spot-on, isn’t it? “Ryan Gosling, you are a life ruiner.”

I have almost entirely stopped trying to hook up with people who I can’t pretend look vaguely like Ryan Gosling when I squint. Really this is just an excuse because I’ve almost completely stopped hooking up with people out of a newly acquired germaphobia that, combined with my phobia of strangers and generally apparent undesirability, has turned me into a nun, but still, I like to use the Ryan Gosling excuse. Because, why bother?

If my “liked” posts were visible on my blog, you would be able to see the fantastic amount of Ryan Gosling posts I’ve liked today. Because seriously, what is NOT TO LIKE (other than the unfortunate fact that this is a picture of Al Roker having the best time ever and not me)?

Realizing that the person who the celebrity on whom you’ve spent a couple years harboring a significant crush reminds you of is actually a dude with whom you shared several ill-fated dates a couple years ago may or may not be one of the biggest let-downs you’ve had recently.

Soon it will be nearly impossible to continue watching the movie starring this celebrity that spurred the realization without sitting in a pool of self-contempt. You will force yourself to finish watching it anyway, to atone for the fact that you are not a person who can hide her opinions or her unpleasant sense of humor or her unfortunate drinking habits for even an hour at a time. As it turns out, this is actually something you wouldn’t let him do, and you were willing to ruin an evening over your self-righteous funniness. You will tell yourself that perhaps your overly attractive date was also slightly unhinged, like the character he so resembles, and that perhaps you were able to sense this and you have in fact dodged the metaphorical bullet, but you’ll know that the crazy has never been known to stop you before.
