Go Ophelia and all us Rufus voters! I continue to do ten mins here twenty mins there.
I had another idea or 2, maybe a little bit of 'campaigning' in the net outside of the rooftop? ....
edited rest on 31 Dec:
.... But as the main thing is keeping on voting i've deleted some links i had here before.

Maybe if he wins, he will be on the cover of GQ. Still voting when I can!

GQ describes Zen as 'sprezzy' - I have to admit I didn't know what that meant! I looked it up and found this definition: Sprezzatura -
“a certain nonchalance, so as to conceal all art and make whatever one does or says appear to be without effort and almost without any thought about it -
It is the ability to display “an easy facility in accomplishing difficult actions which hides the conscious effort that went into them.”
Sprezzatura has also been described “as a form of defensive irony: the ability to disguise what one really desires, feels, thinks, and means or intends behind a mask of apparent reticence and nonchalance.”I think that 'suits' him very well myself  |

That's very fitting. Thanks for clarifying the word!

Yes, thanks for that clarification, WD! I think the comment that it's “an easy facility in accomplishing difficult actions which hides the conscious effort that went into them” just about perfectly describes Rufus's style of acting - he makes it seems so naturalitistic, yet we know how much hard work he puts into achieving the final result on screen or stage.

Exactly, perfectly describes Rufus.
Over at GQ Rufus is now 3rd - One Direction are at number 1!! Can't believe that, the tweens must be voting - keep going ladies - we can beat them!!

True, but if all the individual little fangirl votes get added up together for the group as whole, that skews the total vote.
(Our mutliple-voting is entirely understandable and allowed, of course!)

Of course you're right, GE2. Honestly, I find it a bit annoying that they put in groups of guys along with individual men.
On the other hand, there have been lots of changes within the top ten since last time - so I guess it's quite good that Rufus is still among the top three. (I'll certainly keep voting!! I want a man to win that contest, not some bunch of pretty boys.)

I can't believe they agreed to add them after the voting had opened!
