hott or nott

i introduced you all to my favorite uncle, hott blair, a couple months ago.




the response was overwhelming, that he is indeed H.O.T.T hott.


however, when i featured him in my christmas post a few days ago, he went widely unrecognized.



my theory is that his hottness was hiding under a thin layer of geek during the early years of his life.



let us examine .......



back row - my mom, uncle curt, aunt sherrie. front row - hott blair. circa 1974






hott blair and me. circa 1977

hott blair and grandma taylor - circa 1978



hott blair and grandpa taylor - circa 1978



hott blair, dallas and kip - circa 1980



hott blair, sweetie cody, my dad, me and grandpa taylor - circa 1984



my mom, me, hott blair, dallas, kip, tony and sweetie cody - circa 1986



hott blair - circa freshman year of hs

you know what? slightly geeky glasses aside (let's face it, blair, they weren't doing you any favors) i think he has always been a hottie!

i can also see a lot of brant and dawson in these pics.

i love you lots, hott blair!!!

(don't hate me. and let me just state how thankful i am that i've never taken an 'awkward' picture, so there is simply no way you could retaliate).

He's like Heidi Klum back in the day, when she said that she was geeky and not hott. (Insert eyeroll here.)

Amander said...

Oh Hott Blair. These pictures are so classic! I can't wait to see his response to this.

For some of us, the hotness just has to lay dormant during our early years...I had a similar pair of glasses growing up. It's just nature's way of balancing things out...

Jillene said...

My un-hottness was buck teeth. Until I got my braces I was un-hot. Then i got them and remained un-hot--go figure!!

He is very handsome--o.k. let's face it he is hot!!

Erin said...

Sometimes hottness grows with age. Here's hoping that I will be hott by the time I'm 50?!

I love the glasses.

hott blair's other half said...

I can only say that I so can't wait to show the kids!!! Oh ya Rychelle-THANKS for this!!! He was definetly a catepillar waiting to get his wings....and I'm glad he waited to get them until he found me!!! Love that guy!!

You ROCK my not-so-Hott world . . . . I have the best neice in the world (even if she posts NOT SO HOTT pics of me) Love you and everyone and your comments--I need to get my FAN club up and running--Wanna be president?

sweetie cody's mom said...

Some things do get better with age. Too bad it doesn't work on me!!

tiburon said...

I have NEVER taken an awkward picture.
EVER.

I am a firm believer that the bigger the geek in adolescence - the hotter the adult.

rychelle said...

mom - you are SO hott too! i love you!

Messy Jess said...

Oh, yes he is hott.... I have started to stalk his blog - the good ones are always taken, dang it.

Vanessa said...

I like the pic w/Grandma Taylor. She is just ignoring his goofy antics next to her.

Machen family said...

Hott dam! He would have been perfect in "Can't Buy Me Love".. so much hotter than that Patrick Dempsey.

Machen family said...

p.s. I was born in 1977 too! I could just tell, there was something about you that screamed 1977. Good year!

rychelle said...

messy jess - so true!

vanessa - i love that too. she still has a magic way of tuning out the lunacy. ;)

camille - you always crack me up. i love you. 77 rules, baby!

Mega-Awesome said...

This was a great post!

Machen family said...

Your new header is awesome!!!

Dads(2) said...

The new header is rocking it . . . . . . LOVE IT!

the letter Bee said...

I think its a rule that nerds turn into HOTT people when they grow up.

I think it was on Oprah or something.

Marie said...

The Grandma Taylor pic really should be blown-up and sold on your website or better yet made into T-Shirts!!!

Jo said...

Obviously he was a late bloomer. Ahem, he was a serious geek, but now? Geez, what can I say, he is my current man crush!

Kami said...

Hi Rychelle! Thanks for saying Hi. Your Uncle is Hot...fo shizzle. ;)

Happy blogging!

Veronica Reeve said...

Your uncle is sizzlin' hot(+t). Really, I'd take his picture any time. (Wink, wink, nudge, nudge) I too, am a late bloomer, I'm still waiting to bloom. Your uncle gives me hope. And I love your blog, there I said it.

Wendyburd1 said...

LOL, Blair musta LOVED this!! A whole post about him...with pics to boot! LOL...as long as he doesn't ask if his butt looks big in any of these pictures...then let us please shoot him??!! LOL

Shellie said...

you know what I love... besides all the HOTTNESS! The red kitchen chairs are so awesome. and the one of you as a baby and Hott Blair is holding your hand! so sweet!

peewee said...

OMG> I am laughing so hard I am crying!! FIrst off, that second grade pic. is PRICELESS. And second, let's talk about your dress in that '84 pic!!! HAHAHAHHAHA! And the one with you guys and you're a baby...AWWWWWW.

Omgirl said...

Wow. Seems like he went through a rather long awkward geek phase during the early to mid to late 80's. But sure is hot now!

Creative Artist Genius Girl said...

Nice progression...I particularly love the freshman pic. Blair definitely turned into a major hottie!

But don't you love black mail photos of family? I sure do, hahaha! I hope you've brought these pictures out for special occasions with your uncle and any of his girlfriends or his wife, if he has one. These pics are too juicy and funny to pass up an opportunity like that!
