The Sassy Face Wall

I Got It Bad (and That Ain't Good)

2011-04-23T07:12:00.000-07:00

Tara's post is EPIC and there is not much to add in terms of screen bad boys that proved to be all too alluring than their "nice guy" counterpoints, but I will wager to add a few choice sassy heartthrobs.
Jordan Catalano not only gave mainstream visibility to dyslexia, but epitomized the mid'90s with this haircut and smoldering gaze - no wonder he was the tool to so many girls' undoing.
BLAAINE! - No! And while I can still get behind Two and Half Men because Jon Cryer was the unstoppable and lovable Duckie, the real thing that always makes me mad about Annie/Molly Ringwald in Pretty in Pink is why she didn't fuck James Spader?! C'mon! Add doing lines in his parents' gigantic study and you get the best revision of a "wholesome" John Hughes film.
And yes girl (Majandra Delfino), you are looking fly, and I feel your longing for the out of this world/extraterrestrial sass of Brendan Fehr in Roswell. If you doubt the potency of his pout, watch this episode, then complain.
Like Jon Cryer, I will advocate on behalf of this man's career today because of his '80s teen film roles. Though Christian Slater channels James Dean in Heathers, his rebellious smoking and psychopathic murderous rage make him a bad boy for the ages.
Along the same anarchic wavelength, pre-Mad Men Vincent Kartheiser is a hottie when he's beaten up but still defiant in Masterminds, a film Tara introduced me to!
But River's Edge wins for having both Crispin Glover and Keanu Reeves in their bad boy finest. Apparently I go for murderers more than drug dealers, oh good.
Lastly, how could I forget this notorious one's best performance. If we could only remember him for this:

Bad Boy Sass

2011-04-22T20:06:00.001-07:00

There's one simple reason why I dated so many bad boys and drug dealers in my formative years: Josh Hartnett. I can trace all of my bad boy yearnings back to The Faculty, where he plays Zeke, a brilliant, sensitive-on-the-inside, super foxy drug dealer. One look, and I was toast. Nice guys? No thanks, give me someone pushing uppers in the boys' bathroom. And, might I remind you who saves the day (AND lands the foxy English teacher)? Yup. I’m certain that he also contributed (along with the eyebrow god himself) to my lust for men with a strong brow.
Wait, what’s that he’s driving there? Is it the sexiest car of all time driven in possibly the sassiest, sexiest bad boy entrance ever?

Yes, I’ll take two of whatever you’re selling, thanks.

That’s not to say that Hartnett was the only bad boy for me. Oh no, this was the era of the teen flick. Hottie bad boys and drug dealers were all over those days. Observe:

Though Patrick in 10 Things I Hate About You turned out to be more of a softie than you’d think, Heath Ledger still brought the sass. Also, please note: eyebrows.

Channing Tatum isn’t even my kind of guy, but put together bad boys and dance, and I’m sold anyway.

The only thing better than a bad boy? A bad boy set straight by the love of a good woman (even if it is in a sapfest like A Walk to Remember).

Good thing I saw The Faculty before I saw Scream…otherwise my penchant might have been for psychopathic killers.

Romeo? Totally a bad boy—he did kill Juliet’s cousin, after all. Though I have to say, the sass award in this picture definitely goes to Harold Perrineau.

And they weren’t just in movies…the bad boy eventually made his way to the small screen, too.

Joshua Jackson brought the sass with his bad boy Pacey.

Seriously, what dummy would have chosen lame-o good guy Dean over Jess? You did the right thing, Rory Gilmore.

Daniel Desario—bad boy AND burnout? Yes please.

Really, Mike Vogel’s character Jay Hogart just represented one of many rotating bad boys on Degrassi. But, as I have drunkenly posited on numerous occasions, he’s the big bad, as opposed to Spinner’s half-assed badness.

The O.C. was filled to the brim with sass (Julie Cooper-Nichol, anyone?) and reigning bad boy Ryan Atwood sassed with the best of them.

The sexy bad boy archetype isn’t limited to my generation, however. Remember these guys?

Please, Mr. Jailer, won’t you let my man go free?

You can put a baby in my corner, Johnny Castle. (Yeah, I said it.)

You’re yearning, burning for some…

Whoo, hoo, hoo…honey.

The classic.

You Got Sassed

2010-07-24T08:59:00.001-07:00

There’s so much going on in the world of ridiculous dance films right now, I knew we needed a post about the sass that ABOUNDS in dance movies.

Let’s start with the master, the one true king, recently dubbed “Our Lord and Savior” by Best Week Ever, #1 on my “Celebrities For Whom I Would Leave Any Man” list, Mr. Peter Gallagher.
Mmm, mmm. Get a load of those brows. Why should Peter Gallagher be so prominently featured in the dance post, you ask? Well, 1) I’m unabashedly biased, and 2) He’s in both Center Stage AND Center Stage 2, so that’s got to count for something.

Center Stage (hands down the best/worst dance movie in existence) also has plenty of sass from its dancing cast members. Observe:

Ethan Stiefel exudes sass on a motorcycle.

“I am the BEST GODDAMN DANCER in the American Ballet Academy. Who the hell are you? NOBODY.”

Zoe Saldana’s Eva Rodriguez is arguably the sassiest character in the movie…

But Sascha Radetsky’s Charlie offers the critical line of the film: “Whatever you feel, just DANCE it.”

Center Stage: Turn It Up, while also featuring the beauty of P.Galls, pales in comparison to the original, both in plot and in sass. Not to worry, because there are tons of other sassy dance films.

Linde and I both have an unhealthy love for You Got Served. Not only is it full of B2K dance battle goodness, but it certainly has the sassiest title of any dance film in existance.

Some girls just don’t know when to go home & stop acting like a ho.

And we all know how hardcore dancing-in-the-rain montages can show a dancer’s true skills.

The inclusion of Lil’ Kim in any cast automatically increases its sass factor.

Finally, let’s talk about the dance fabulousness coming out this summer. Step Up 3D is the next film in a franchise chock-full of sass.

From Step Up 2 The Streets. See what I mean about the rain, y’all?

I won’t lie, I’ve got a teeny tiny crush on Adam Sevani as Moose. HE’S 18 NOW, OKAY?

Step Up 3D features A WALL FULL OF STEREOS. I think this has to be an excellent example of interior sassoration.

And finally, FINALLY, I’ve saved the best for last, you guys. As cross-promotion for Step Up 3D, Hulu has teamed up with Jon Chu to create THE MOST UTTERLY RIDICULOUS DANCE EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE—The LXD: The Legion of Extraordinary Dancers. I know we’re only a few webisodes in so far, but I have yet to see this show make any sense at all. I wish I were lying when I said that some of the dancers GET THEIR POWER FROM MAGICAL PACKING PEANUTS. What a hot mess.

You can’t make this shit up.

More Sassy 'Staches

2010-07-03T18:58:00.000-07:00

Just to prove that Bradley Whitford isn't the only sassy mustachioed Wes grad out there...

Sass runs wild in Boy Crisis

Victor (previous Old-School Sassy Face Wall of the Month recipient) and Himanshu of Das Racist show off their sass

Food blogger Max of Baehr Eats Food and Fuck Dat Sammich sasses it up with his fancy face

Bradley Whitford and the Sassy 'Stache

2010-07-03T18:30:00.000-07:00

So both Linde and I have been totally getting into The Good Guys lately, and let's be honest--Bradley Whitford MAKES this show. He's got excellent comedic timing, is startlingly good at seeming just a bit dimwitted, and it can't hurt that he's a Wesleyan grad (Go Wes!). And what better way to up the sass than with a perfectly-groomed mustache?

Haven't seen The Good Guys yet? There's really no excuse. Check out the pilot to see how much cleverness you've been missing:

America's Sweethearts Vol. 2

2010-06-27T22:45:00.000-07:00

I just wanted to add my thoughts on Linde's America's Sweethearts post. I may have only seen one episode of this show (I know, I know) but I totally adored it, due partially to the addition of Adam Scott to the cast. Adam Scott manages to show extreme sass both in Parks & Rec AND his Starz show Party Down. Check it out:

Yeah, that's right.

America's Sweethearts

2010-06-26T20:21:00.000-07:00

A show that I find consistently hilarious is Parks and Recreation. Though I had a soft spot for it even in its first season, I'm really impressed with the way it turned around and really fleshed out some characters in the second. The show also features many crush-worthy and sassy comedians.

Aubrey Plaza is a NATIONAL TREASURE. Seriously, her expressions kill me. Whether she's clowning on Jerry or lovelorn over Andy, her sideways glances convey optimum sass. She's also a Tara doppelganger, which makes her even better.

Parks also features my favorite comedian, Aziz Ansari. Luckily, my brother and I got to check out his Dangerously Delicious tour in Chicago. It was surreal to be so close to someone who simultaneously cracks you up and makes you wanna holler. Besides the jokes being 'DOPE' I have to give the man serious props for his amazing suit - Band of Outsiders? This sharply dressed dude is the epitome of sass. Check out that pout and neck jutting.
Some natural history museum taxidermy-chic (BEARS!) never hurts the sassy/smoldering look either.

We Are the Champions!

2010-06-23T21:44:00.000-07:00

Well, not quite yet, but let's celebrate the awesome US soccer/football victory, which happened in the epitome of team sports movie fashion.

Forgive the nationalism and the gushing, but we have a good looking team. I think soccer players are the athletes I find the most attractive - had crushes on them since I was a kid, and definitely wanted to be good at the sport back in middle school. Sadly, I was never that great, but I have thoroughly enjoyed getting back in the spirit watching the World Cup this summer.

But getting to the point - beyond being impressive as players, these dudes are sexy AND sassy.

Case in point, Landon Donovan - who has saved the team a few times in the past few games with some choice goals.

Thanks to Jillian for sharing this amazing photo. The sideways glance, pout, raised eyebrows - Classic Soccer Sass, also he's gripping the water fountain a little too hard...and I like that.

Jozy Altidore (THE BEST) shows his sass on the field.

While, my current crush, Clint Dempsey (Who could be brotherhood?! - i.e. cousin named, Arya Ashtari) has got skillz that rival other athletes turned rappers (Go to 2:38 to see the freestyle).

But sometimes sass isn't quite in your face. Confident Tim Howard exudes sass in how he protects that goal.
Though pouting, tats, and being all dirty/oily/hot c/o of an Interview photo shoot doesn't hurt. either. Check that video out, it's the best counter to those behind-the-scenes vids they do for cover girls in Complex magazine. In any case, I'll be rooting for them in the tournament and will keep loving the sass these players bring on and off the field.

No, really…I just watch Glee for the music.

2009-09-25T19:15:00.001-07:00

Mmm, those brows…just saying.

I Just Can't Stop Loving You

2009-06-25T19:44:00.000-07:00

We can both attest that he was and will always and forever be a true classic.

It Had to Be You

2009-06-16T13:08:00.000-07:00

Sorry for the epic hiatus, but I got a good one for you all today.

Back in college, Tara and I would go on rom-com binges. Still despite the binges, When Harry Met Sally... remains one canonical movie that I have never seen all of in one sitting. This is a sad truth, since I think there are some liberating elements of the gender politics in the film, despite the typical conservative and heteronormative stance that is typical of many films in this genre.

Sidenote: I'm also trying to get back on my academic writing grind, as you can tell ;)

It's also sad that I haven't seen the movie in one whole sitting, because it's a favorite of many, including Tara Jean, and it deals with very relevant issues in most twentysomethings' lives, such as brief encounters, friendships, romance, general love life stuff in adult life after college, sexual fulfillment, finding your soulmate (if you believe in that sort of thing), and more specifically, the shift from Chicago to New York, midwest to east coast, well in my case it's reversed, but I'm going to experience both.

With all this said, I'm not going to share a pic of Meg or Billy, but draw your attention to the fabulous soundtrack of the movie, with amazing covers mostly done by this man.
Yes, it's Harry Connick Jr., whose talent apparently dwarfs his own medium, and thanks to my Frank Sinatra Pandora station, I was able to recall a memory of watching this video with Ms. Tara in our Westco 2 dorm room.

But is my trip down memory lane to get us to Harry really relevant? I mean is he SASSY? Well, I would say that his over-gelled hair is aspiring for some kind of sassy smooth look, but if you want more evidence.
Oh snap! Didn't you miss us?

Thank You for Being a Friend

2009-04-27T08:35:00.000-07:00

Sorry it's been more than a month now. We've left you hanging, but thanks for sticking through. This past Saturday, the much-beloved Bea Arthur passed away. I was terribly upset! Thanks to Jillian though, I can pay some respect to her and be back on my sassy grind, because Bea truly was a classic.
She has some finely sculpted brows and that great sideways glance, plus I love how she uses her chin! Take 2!
Yep, the lady's got it! And nothing says sassy like a girl who can be a friend on and off-screen, and knows how to affirm you but tell it to you straight: Girl, fix your face!
She's a total gem and stunna, and she's fierce, stylish, and definitely sassy.
She will be greatly missed, but hopefully we can take from what she had to offer and hope that when we're older we can still retain all the spunk of our youth, and have some wisdom to boot!

Sassy Lite

2009-03-25T09:06:00.000-07:00

I apologize that it's been more than a week since I posted. Sorry to leave you sassy-lovers hangin' but today I want to focus on some dynamic duos that can often be heard on easy listening stations. When I was younger it was my dad's favorite station, soft rock and classic hits, 107.9 WTPI. Kenny has proved that even if you're featured on the Time Life infomercial for their Classic Soft Rock CD collection you can still be sassy. Similarly, these power couples of easy listening do the same.
So maybe not all of you know the magnificence that is Go West, but this British pop duo of the late '80s and early '90s, was listed as my favorite band in my 9-year-old diary. I personally loved their cover of "What You Won't Do For Love" and later as a freshman in college, Tara and I bonded over "King of Wishful Thinking" featured on the Pretty Woman soundtrack! As you can see in the photo the pouts and the brows are working full force. Also the feathered hair doesn't hurt. Still, it bothers me that Peter Cox, right, is giving a much more earnest-bordering-on-angry sassy face while Richard Drummie looks slightly confused and cold. The confusion continues.Then of course there is the more famous British pop duo of Wham!They are one of the best examples of sassy hair ever! Though again here one half of the duo is doing twice the work. Sorry Andrew Ridgeley but please observe the sassy George in this glorious video, which thanks to Landon, I now know was the number one song the week I was born!

Though I love all these boys, in the world of power duos, and many friends will attest to this, nothing quite compares to this kind of sassy perfection.
"Well well you (ooh ooh ooh ooh) / You make my dreams come true (you you you you)"

If Looks Could Kill: The Boys (and Girls!) of Prison Break

2009-03-17T19:15:00.001-07:00

I’ve got so many guilty pleasures when it comes to television, but Prison Break is one of my favorites. And…I have to admit that my absence from the blog has been partially Prison-Break-induced. So what better way to honor these (sometimes) beautiful men than to create an homage to their baldyheaded, brooding sass?

WARNING: As I love this show more than is probably healthy, I had trouble narrowing down the sass, so…I included them all. Image-heavy.

The Good Guys…kind of

The star of our show (and arguably the most beautiful man alive), Mr. Wentworth Miller as Michael Scofield. His sass is generally very brooding and scowly.

Dominic Purcell, the break-ee and foxy big brother Linc. Also brooding.

Amaury Nolasco’s Sucre…just…mmm. That’s all. You can sass me any day.

Rockmond Dunbar as C-Note. Just makes you wonder how they convinced so many pretty men to sign on to the same project.

Marshall Allman as Linc’s son LJ shows that he got his sass from daddy, particularly in the lip-curl department.

They’ve got the foxy ladies too. Sarah Wayne Callies’ take-no-mess Dr. Tancredi demonstrates the sass that made Michael love her.

The Bad Guys

Definitely the sassiest (and most lecherous…and most terrifying) man on the show, Robert Knepper’s T-Bag represents for creepos everywhere.

Agent Kellerman (Paul Adelstein). So delicious. So badass. Can sass you even through his shades.

Gretchen Morgan aka “Susan B. Anthony” is one of the newer villains…and one of the awesomest. Through waterboarding and other tortures (admittedly, you can’t really say this show treats the ladies all that well), she maintains her scary sass. Jodi Lyn O'Keefe's got the sassy pose down pat.

The ~~Good~~ ~~Bad~~ ~~Good-Turned-Bad~~ ~~Bad-Turned-Good~~…erm, well…these guys are on the show, too.

While Lane Garrison’s role as Tweener was relatively short-lived, this face makes him a shoo-in for the post.

Only William Fichtner’s acting skillz could make Agent Mahone go from deplorable to lovable so quickly.

You’re not supposed to look Haywire in the eye…clearly because he’s got too much sass for anyone to handle. Silas Weir Mitchell shows how the crazy eyes can add to the sass factor.

I miss Abruzzi…so classy, so sassy.

Kick Your Game, Ladies

2009-03-11T20:15:00.000-07:00

In order to complement Tara's Boy Band Sasstacular, I wanted to give my ladies some love. Back in my freshman year of college we had an early '90s party which I still have some great pictures from, c/o Chris.
That's Lauren and Dave as Milli Vanilli (With some sass, no?) in my freshman year room. I of course wanted to be Left-Eye (R.I.P.) and Tara wanted to be T-Boz...ok, we didn't have a Chilli, then again Chris was Kris Kross by himself, so we were working with limitations. Regardless, I have a love for TLC that goes back to my childhood, and I was super happy that Tara was into them just as much as I was if not more. I mean c'mon, these women were not only CrazySexyCool, but SASSY.
Much like another hot trio, Salt-n-Pepa.
Nothing says sassy like a bare midriff and a casual pose. Then again it doesn't hurt if you're a dolled-up bombshell, or four of them, like the ladies of En Vogue.
But the Brit gals give us some sass we can feel too, with the GIRL POWER-screaming Spice Girls.

Charley swears that if you focus on Posh in this 2 Become 1 video you will see the sass in full effect. Then again she's got the look when she's selling Pepsi too.
Those are some sassy fingers! Plus the ladies proved they could still be spicy and sassy, even after Geri left. Holler!
It's maybe not a Pat Benatar tits shimmy, but a firm ass grab and a thrust of the chest definitely is a show of some sass, though maybe here it's more out of desperation than proclaiming confidence. Still the Spice Girls were formative in allowing the sass of other tamer Brit girl groups like All Saints to gain (short-lived) fame.
In '90s fashion, these ladies show that sass comes in baggy carpenter jeans, but don't forget your crop top! These ladies know where it's at, wanna let you know, and do it with sass.

TV Titans with Sass to Boot

2009-03-11T19:42:00.000-07:00

Right now my mom and I are having some QT watching our favorite lawyer ever - Perry Mason. Not only does the show feature a hot theme song, Perry aka Raymond Burr keeps flashing professional sassy faces. He's got some great eyebrows and uses the sideways glance at the most opportune moments.
Here angst and sass are combined so well. Plus, it does not hurt that he, as Promiti, pointed out, is somewhat reminiscent of Joshua Jackson.
Plus, as Tara noted, nothing screams sassy like a self-assured pose and a cat.
Then again maybe canines are more your style like Josh.
Still, all the sass on that man's face can not excuse that dye job. Then again it was the late '90s and lapses of judgment can even accompany the sassiest of faces and poses.
Even Paula Cole can't save this. Maybe I want to wait. Back to Mom and Perry.

Gary Oldman's Sassy, Fo Sirius.

2009-03-10T16:08:00.000-07:00

Thank you to Melanie who inspired this post, by noting how even though Alan Rickman has tons 'o sass, she has always been partial to Sirius Black, aka Gary Oldman. Well I like Gary too and think he has lots of sass but I've always struggled to identify him in film because he is kind of a chameleon, albeit retaining the sass.
Here he plays Sid Vicious in Sid & Nancy. The look is intense, hard, sexy, and definitely sassy.

Here he is in a more contemporary role as Jim Gordon of Chris Nolan's Batman series, but his look is totally different! Though here he definitely makes sassy professional.

Gary also makes sassy professional in The Contender, thank you Promiti, though here the professionalism is a lot more menacing, and again I can't recognize him!

Bottom line: Gary's got the look. He might not be in the same ranks as Alan Rickman for me, but I got to hand it to him for getting so immersed in every role he does that I can barely distinguish him. Still, thanks to his sassy face, I can sometimes spot him, whether he's a hero or a villain.
Fo Sirius.

Sylar, Spock, and Sass

2009-03-09T12:45:00.001-07:00

Sorry to keep returning to the eyebrows, but I can't stop! I'm catching up on Heroes right now and I forgot to mention the caterpillar-like eyebrows of the love-of-my-life Zachary Quinto as the villainous Sylar.
Evil never looked so good! Also with a sassy pout, Sylar is ready for business (or in this case slicing your head open).

I'm also really excited for Zachary because he will be playing Spock in the upcoming Star Trek movie, which I'm super pumped about. Check out the trailer!

Especially after being letdown by The Watchmen, this will be treat. Plus Zachary will be donning a new brow look, though the sass will endure.
Take it from a master.
Yep, Leonard Nimoy could get it.

LDP, Feline-Style

2009-03-07T17:25:00.000-08:00

The other (and, one might say, cuddlier--but then again, I've never cuddled with The Real Thing, so if you can make that happen, I'm happy to revise my opinions) Lou Diamond Phillips shows that you don't even have to be human to have a bit off the sass about you.

LDP: Love Dat Pose

2009-03-07T11:33:00.000-08:00

So aside from the fierce Pat who plays like she's in the sex trade and Snoop who still is, despite his mad money from records, Lou Diamond Phillips, also the name of Tara's kitty, shows us in his movies that you can be "wholesome" and still be sexy and sassy - it's all in the pose.
Like Taylor Hanson, Lou's Ritchie shows that pop and sassy can be easily married. In La Bamba, he plays good boy pop star Ritchie Valens, who despite his fame always has his family's back, even his bad boy big brother Bob (Check that alliteration!), played by Esai Morales, who's lookin' super sassy below.
Even when Lou plays more of a bad boy himself, here a gang member, he's quick to reform and move on to higher learning as he rocks the AP Calculus exam, and all with some sass!
Thank you Edward James Olmos! Take it from a pro who knows - the sass - it's all in the pose.

Laiiiiiid Back.

2009-03-06T03:59:00.001-08:00

This one’s a throwback to the days of the tangible Sassy Face Wall; most of these pictures were featured during Snoop’s run as Sassy Face of the Month. But, seriously…they’re too good to pass off. It’s the most casual sass I’ve seen yet. Effortless. It’s brilliant.

See?

This one may also be a variation of “I just put on some Chapstick.” Jury’s out.

Confrontational sass.

Horrible movie role sass.

Don’t You Mess Around With Me

2009-03-06T03:50:00.001-08:00

Plainly stated, Pat Benatar is a fucking badass. One of the awesomest ladies of 80’s rock, she had it all—insane amounts of eyeshadow, sassy brows, and a perfectly pouty scowl.

With all due respect to my manbrow lover Peter Gallagher (and we all know how much I love that man), the brows don’t have to be like big manly sexy caterpillars to have the sass.

Everybody knows that both hands mussing up your hair means that you mean business.

And finally, some awesome pseudo-hooker sass, complete with the sassy tits shimmy. It’s a real thing, promise. Google it.
Side note: I think the hooker pal on Pat’s left has a broken arm. Sass in a cast, boys.

Sorry to Leave You Hangin' Brow

2009-03-04T22:44:00.000-08:00

Thanks to Charley for pointing out that I forgot to mention the ever-so-handsome Lee Pace in my sassy eyebrows post. Though he's no Peter Gallagher...who is really...this sexy man definitely has some sass.
I totes saw him on the subway in January, in his tall sassy eyebrow-ed glory! I hope he gets a new gig after Pushing Daisies is defunct. Primetime TV, especially ABC will be in need of some similar sass and sex appeal to get me interested again.
Nathan Fillion? Hmmm, maybe Castle, but he should look into some brow powder before he steps to me. Still, the sideways glance is quite sassy, but more on that another time.

Really. Who else could make a mullet both sassy AND sexy?

2009-03-03T20:48:00.000-08:00

Have mercy.

Turning it loose. Footloose.

2009-03-03T20:03:00.000-08:00

I admit that I may be a bit biased, given my deep and everlasting love for K.Log, but really--this beautiful man has such enduring sass. He's so much more than just alright. Give yourself more credit, Ken.

Classic. And lordy, what glorious hair.

Bringing it full circle--old man sass with the eyebrows to boot.

He's even passed on the Loggins sass to his son Crosby. Need I mention that he has also passed on the Loggins stone foxiness?

A Fine Brow-Mance

2009-03-03T11:48:00.000-08:00

While Tara illuminated how one's fingers can convey sass, a lot of times the sassy face and look is complemented with some sassy eyebrows.

Brian starts back at 1 with a lifted brow.
Result: He crosses my mind any and everytime, like The Rock (Dwayne Johnson).
Some ladies got the thick sassy brows down too, from classic Hollywood stars like Audrey Hepburn and Elizabeth Taylor.
To Bollywood great Kajol, who rocks some thick brows, well almost a unibrow to be precise, with some sexiness, fierceness, and mos def some sass.
But I think Tara and I can agree that when it comes to eyebrows, no one does it better and with more sass than the indelible Peter Gallagher.

Old Man Sass

2009-03-03T11:09:00.000-08:00

Like MJ's classic sass, Alan Rickman like a fine wine and Christina Aguilera keeps gettin' better.
He is the ultimate combination of sassy and pensive.
An oldie but definitely a bestie.

Boy Band Sasstacular

2009-03-02T20:54:00.000-08:00

I was going to focus this post on the supreme sass of NKOTB, but there were too many other excellent faces that I couldn't pass up...So here it is, the BOY BAND SASSTACULAR [Note: Were I more motivated, I would make that text sparkly and fansitey in some way, but...I'm not. Use your imagination, kids].

Jordan Knight even has the sassy finger.

Brian is totally hating on Nick's sass level.

It appears that the Nicks are generally the sassiest in their groups.

JT--Sassy, or deeply disturbing? You tell me.

Honestly, did you expect me to make a boy band post without Hanson? Sadly, Zac and Isaac need to step up their game, but Taylor's got that shit down.

Smooches for Andy's Sweet Sass

2009-03-02T18:38:00.000-08:00

But to spread some love, Andy Samberg is always sporting a delicious pout, with a good amount of sass.
And sometimes it gets really emphatic.

Hmmm. Where have I seen that face before?

Yeah, I'd still smooch him.

Marky Mark, Not So Much Love Here

2009-03-02T18:10:00.000-08:00

So I tried to spruce up the blog by borrowing a logo from Sassy magazine. Oh, Sassy! I barely remember thee. Actually, the magazine was defunct by the end of '96, but I do remember sneaking a peek at a copy at the Lawrence Public Library. It had Jessica Biel on the cover. Anyway in looking up info about Sassy I found this gem for the wall.

Is that Marky Mark? Yes. Yes it is. I hate this dude. He's been convicted of a hate crime or two. He seriously blinded someone. And how can that dude act all hard, when Reese is lookin' all cute in this pic and he's sassin' hardcore. Now usually I'm a big fan of the sassy face, but even the sass can't save Mark "droppin' the pants" Wahlberg. Ironically, this May 1996 cover shoot was to promote their film together, Fear, in which Wahlberg plays her abusive boyfriend. So to answer the magazine's question: Are you a secret sexist?
Yup. Say hi to your mother for me!

MJ, We Still Love You

While it is a well-known fact that Michael Jackson is the King of Pop, it is a lesser-known fact that he is also the King of Sass. Please observe:

Exhibit A.

Exhibit B.

Exhibit C.

I rest my case.

PS: MJ also loves air quotes, and we all know that air quotes are an excellent form of sassery.

The Sassy Face Wall: Grown ‘n Sexy Edition

2009-02-27T11:53:00.000-08:00

So back in 2003, me and my amazing and lovable freshman roommate Tara started a “Sassy Face Wall” which was the wall between our rooms where we posted any pictures of people with sassy faces that we found in magazines, print ads, or photos of our friends.

Well, it’s been hard because I haven’t seen my amazing roommate in almost two years now (tear!), but we’ve been doin big things in and out of school, with Tara in lovely North Carolina and me in New York or traveling around, as I am at the moment.

Anyway, in an effort to bring the sassy faces we love to each other and your lives we now have The Sassy Face Wall: Grown ‘n Sexy (and technologically available) Edition.

So get ready world for the Sass!
