awesome-stosterone

noun. At last! The secret ingredient in awesomesauce.

Real citation: "Where the hell did they find this guy? There’s a 'boy who fell to Earth' quality about him, like David Bowie’s Lady Stardust come to life.

He’s easily the most fun Idol ever, a flam-bam-boyantly queeny California boy who has devoted his nights to making Midwestern housewives slobber into their tubs of Ben & Jerry’s Karamel Sutra. Whether he’s slutting up a rocker like 'Born to Be Wild' ('wiii-eeee-iiyaaaiild!') or sobbing his way through 'Mad World,' he oozes pure awesome-stosterone."
