There's some silliness in the news stories this morning about People magazine designating the actor Johnny Depp as "the sexiest man alive" for 2009.

I have long admired Depp as an actor, and delighted in his physical beauty, would certainly list him as one of the males I've found especially appealling sexually, among performers I've seen, and, as we've discussed here at the Footbuddies forum quite often, he has very beautiful feet and soles which we rarely get to see in the movies (Crybaby is probably the best film for viewing Depp's naked feet).

However, in all this silly stuff, one remark caught my eye, on this page:

At 46, the father of two [is] . . . as one-of-a-kind as his beloved 15-year-old boots and as smoldering as his favorite Cuban cigars.
What was that about his boots?!

I already want a sniff inside them!
