Skanking Out For Hot, Smart Men - Ian Somerhalder

I have a weakness for an old fashioned guy. I think I fell for my husband on our first date, when he was polite, had good table manners, was chivalrous and was able to carry on intelligent conversation and showed that he was more than just a great body and pretty bone structure. Basically, an actual gentleman, not some douche who wears sunglasses at night, sculpts designs into his facial hair and waxes his arms.

Those whole package gentlemen are few and far between, but we all know one of them. Ketel One vodka (yum! yum! yum!) is holding a contest right now which will help the gentlemen of society stand out and take their rightful place as leaders...and then maybe we can stop paying the cast of Jersey Shore $50,000 an episode, because really...gross!

So the contest is basically this: Tell your preferred gentleman to share one of his great ideas. It could be philanthropic, entrepreneurial or simply about crafting something great. Ketel One is offering $100,000 for the best idea, to help get it off the ground!

Ian Somerhalder (like my buddy Peter Dinklage) is one of those gentlemen. Using the fame he's garnered from being on TV, he started an animal rights group, IS Foundation.

And everyone has a friend who has gown a creepy mustache over the past 2 years, right? That's another one of those great ideas. Adam Garone was the type of guy who just wanted a little more awareness to men's health issues and came up with the idea for 'Movember'.

Check out their Facebook page for a better idea of some recent submissions. We've all had that night, where we're sitting around and one of us comes up with an amazing idea. Share it.

Come on, it's $100,000, it's worth it, no?
