BRIAN BLOOM
June 30, 1970

It's a smoldering, celebratory day here at SSUWAT.

Sorry For the Inconvenience...

...but our prison moment with Chris Meloni is taking longer than expected. Thankfully.

Seriously, darlings, we'll return shortly -- hopefully by Sunday, the latest.

Recurring Bloom

In our investigative reportive zeal to uncover more about Brian Bloom, we came across Giano's highly entertaining site, Column of Life. It features, among other things, lots of yummy recipes and even yummier celebrity hunks -- in other words, plenty of things to keep your mouths and hands busy. These screen caps of Mr. Bloom thankfully free us from the neccessity of actually watching Bandit's Silver Angel. Grazie, Giano!

In Full Bloom

Not unlike our fond, if vague, remembrances of Chad Allen, we distinctly recall being mesmerized by Brian Bloom and his dreamy eyes back in the 1980's, though we'll be damned if we can think of exactly where and in what context we watched him. Also like Mr. Allen, we were creeped out by the adolescent pin-up photos we came across of this bloomin' beefcake from his stint as a Tiger Beat centerfold; luckily, he matured quite nicely, and we were able to use this tasteful study from a 1996 Playgirl spread.

Brian Bloom turns 38 today, and is still a handsome devil; we never watched Oz, although we're sure the sparks that flew when Bloom and Chris Meloni began a tryst must have short-circuited more than a few television sets.
