OMG, Luke Perry is that you?

He looks good, no? As a pre-teen we adored him as the teenaged leather-jacket wearing perfectly coifed bad boy Dylan McKay. All pre-teens love that (see: all the recent Twilight twitterpation . . . Dylan was our generation’s hot vampire). And, while the years haven’t treated the 90210 franchise so well, Luke is lookin’ . . . . dare we say, decent.

In the spirit of full disclosure:
You may or may not know that we have an ongoing thing with/for Luke Perry. There was this semi-unfortunate chance encounter a couple of years ago in Los Angeles. We were wearing sweat-pants in public (regrettable, we know), he was eating brunch near us, we spoke . . . we hugged. But, nothing really went the way we would’ve liked it to.

Now when we see him . . .

(sigh)

We remember fondly the days of Dylan (again, who doesn’t love that wild cafeteria-desperado thing). We think briefly about the magnificent Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the ill-fated John From Cincinnati. And we plan in pre-teen detail what we’ll wear and how we’ll act when we see Luke again (oh, it’ll happen).

Until that fateful day, we’ll just have to soothe ourselves with the news that Luke is doing well. He’s got this new project on the horizon. He’ll starring in Uwe Boll’s The Storm. The Hollywood Reporter says:

In the apocalyptic thriller, [Lauren] Holly plays a dedicated wife and mother who must deal with the end of days scenario -- all heightened by the arrival of a mysterious stranger named Silas (Perry) who holds the key to the approaching doom. (thr.com)

We’re into it. And listen Luke, if you’re reading this and you need a date to the premiere, feel free to let us know. We clean up good. Real good.
