The Safe House - Expositions

SWF, 30 ... ish, seeks man to run away with. Must own a TV. Must watch TV. Must believe TV is the best entertainment medium ever created. Or, you can be on TV. That would work too.

Every year, I pick my list of the "Top 10 Men to Run Away with." The men on my list are men who, if they arrived at my door today, I would simply pack up and go off with, leaving a trail of remote controls in my wake. No packing. No job notification. No change of address forms. No big farewell party.

Let me remind you that I wouldn't stop being an independent woman. Really, I can write the TV Gal column from any location. And, of course, I'd call my parents and give them the address of our little love nest. I'd even invite all of you to our wedding. And (bonus) I wouldn't make any of you be bridesmaids.

Here's my list:

1. Luke Perry: I have no excuse for my flat out devotion to Luke. It's not like this began as an adolescent crush. I was in my early 20s when Dylan McKay first revved his motorcycle and bedded Brenda. And certainly there's no justification for my Dylan doll. Others will come and go, but Luke will always be my No. 1 man.

2. Michael Vartan: He's part of television's best love triangle (Sydney, Vaughn and the CIA), and what woman doesn't want someone to stare at her the way Vaughn stares at Sydney. I'd certainly risk my life to be seen in public with him.

3. James Marsters: He's the only reason I'd ever move to Sunnydale.

4. Dennis Quaid: I've adored him ever since he told Ellen Barkin her luck with sex was about to change in "The Big Easy."

5. Will Smith: I've said it before and I'll say it again -- I'd get jiggy with him, any time, any where.

6. Peter Facinelli: The newest addition to my list reminds me of JC Chasez of *N Sync, but gets extra bonus points because he's not the one dating Tara Reid. In fact, Peter Facinelli and Jennie Garth are one of my favorite celebrity couples. Yes, I know his happy marriage (they recently had their second child) contradicts my wanting to run away with him. I didn't say my list made sense.

7. Colin Firth: If you saw "Bridget Jones' Diary" and "Pride and Prejudice" this choice needs no explanation. This man smolders on the screen. I want him to tell me that he likes me very much just the way I am.

8. Bradley Whitford: It's Whitford's smile and Josh's charming personality that put the deputy chief of staff on my list.

9. Josh Jackson: I still say the show should have been called "Pacey's Creek."

10.Zach Braff: Come on, could he be any cuter?
