You don’t need to tell me I’m very late to the Ted Lasso train, but I’ve just climbed aboard and watched the first few episodes – and I’m happy to say I’m almost hooked. If this is about hope in what feels like a hopeless time, and believing in something better when everyone around is pissing jaded negativity into the wind, I’m all for it. Hell, I’m in desperate need of that. It comes as Brett Goldstein makes his move to secure this Dazzler of the Day crowning thanks to these shirtless pics from Men’s Health UK. It doesn’t take much, but Goldstein has the entertainment pedigree and experience to cinch the title.
Establishing his own fashion brand ‘Deaf Identity’ and giving good face and body to his brand, Luke Christian handily earns this Dazzler of the Day crowning thanks to a lifelong commitment to being an entrepreneur who cares, and one who is confident enough to incorporate his own identity into his work. As a deaf and gay man, Christian often jokes about having two strikes against him, and has never let that deter him from creating an inspirational and aspirational life that is as impressive as it is courageous. Attitude Magazine awarded him their Pride LGBTQ+ Community Hero award, while Deaf Uity named him their Deaf Role Model of the Month last year.

When your entire democracy hangs in the balance, as it does this election year, it’s more important than ever to rid this country of the Trump-supporting Republicans who are throwing away the very tenets of what made this country great in service to Donald Trump, an alleged pedophile and someone who has already been found liable for sexual abuse and battery. One of the few Democrats to fully fight against the Trump regime’s awful policies and hateful rhetoric, Jon Ossoff is also up in a tough re-election bid in Georgia, where he’s established himself as a candidate for the people. Better than that is his BDE (IYKYK) and swagger as he pummels Trump with the truths that the GOP and much of the media chooses to ignore or pretend away. Ossoff earns this Dazzler of the Day as a rare politician who speaks the truth and continues to work for his constituents in the face of all that the Republicans are trying to take away from us. Check out Jon Ossoff’s re-election website here, and let’s hope that Georgia does the right thing this fall.

Add to those more prestigious honors this Dazzler of the Day crowning, and you have the brilliance that theater-goers have known about for quite some time.
Anyone who’s operating under the title of The Naked Florist demands consideration as a Dazzler of the Day, and when I checked out the impressive background of New Zealand’s Naked Florist named Steve, he immediately earned his crowning here. Making use of fresh and local flowers, along with an eye for the seasonal and sustainable, Steve also imbues his work with a personal slant and an embrace of inclusivity to provide beauty for all. Check out his website here and the self-written bio that goes into the journey that got him where he is now:
Kia ora, I’m Steve, a 40-something kiwi born and bred in the Waikato. From an early age I have loved gardening – growing my first veggie patch when I was ten years old! Growing things is in my DNA – it teaches us so many things. It is also such great therapy. After spending twenty plus years in corporate roles I resigned my job in 2023 to take a career break and re-think my future. During my downtime I enrolled in the NZ Certificate in Floristry (L4) to scratch my long held itch for being a florist. Combining my extensive amateur knowledge of gardening, and the creative component of floristry I started to plan a future where all my passions could come together: gardening, floristry, environmental responsibility, empathy and shared positivity. Out of all this, The Naked Florist was born!
As the true villain of the magnificently twisted thriller ‘Obsession’, Michael Johnston delivers a chillingly nuanced performance that grounds the film in its human footing while never straying from the atrociousness that ends up enveloping everyone.

We shall see, and watch with baited breath.
Chef, Emmy-nominated television host, and entrepreneur Edward Delling-Williams wears many hats, and all of them quite jauntily. His ‘Paris Bistro Cooking’ show on Recipe TV is what drew me into his charming world, and his ‘Taste of London’ programs have me itching to get back to that enchanted city sooner rather than later. He earns this Dazzler of the Day thanks to a storied career and continued inspiration for finding and making all that tastes good in this world. Check out his website here for further evidence of his brilliance.
Being charismatic, charming, gregarious and engaging are just the minor magics of Patrick ‘Patch’ Hyde, whose greatest skill, in my hungry opinion, is his wondrous way with fudge-making – a practice he’s been working on and perfecting since the age of sixteen. In July of 2018, he opened up his first store, ‘The Fudge Patch‘ and he currently has two locations – Greenwich Market and Brighton. Cunningly making use of hemp milk instead of dairy, The Fudge Patch offers vegan and gluten-free fudge made the old-fashioned way. As the man leading the fudge charge in London, Patch earns his first Dazzler of the Day, because my heart belongs to anyone who has a knack with a sweet treat. Check out ‘The Fudge Patch’ online here.
A lost opportunity perhaps, but I haven’t been minding much of the World Cup games that have gone on, aside from the one that took place near Boston on our recent BroSox Adventure. That may change with this crowning of Erling Haaland as Dazzler of the Day. Playing for Norway, Haaland has captured the hearts of many with his golden mane of flowing hair and washboard abs. Is there another point to this game?
Actor, comedian, and most decidedly NOT a piece of shit based solely on his own website, Evan Mulrooney handily gets crowned Dazzler of the Day for that clarification alone. His work on ‘Only Murders In The Building’, ‘Fargo‘, ‘Justified: City Primeval‘, and ‘South Side‘ – along with his social media hilarity – have righty made him a star. Coupled with his good looks and the build of a former football player, Mulrooney has made an enviable splash in the entertainment world. Watch his Insta space for good things to come.
Is anyone’s star shining as brightly as Meg Stalter’s right now?
