Ben Grimmig '12

Who is Ben Grimmig? Many people have tried to answer this question. Picture this: you're in a candlelit Pe-Wi bedroom. The smell of baby powder is in the air and a bottle of Cristal sits untouched on the floor beside you. Though you haven't had a sip, you are intoxicated. Someone is giving you the best foot massage of your life, causing your heart to skip a beat. His fingers are calloused from several near-death experiences in the wilderness, and it turns you on. He whispers sweet nothings into your ear and, that night, you share the most intense music exchange you've ever known. He gives you 4,000 acoustic guitar emo-ballads about unrequited love that you've never heard of, but he also gives you something else-his love. When you're finished, he wraps his oh-so-hip, broken-in red flannel around your shoulders and tells you stories about growing up in the Shire.

This is Ben Grimmig. A lover of flannel, a connoisseur of Deer Tracks ice cream and a native of the dirty Jersey. If you were at last year's Cotillion, you know that Ben has the natural grace and sobriety to take care of a lady on the dance floor. What you may not know is that Ben is currently single and looking for love. If you enjoy cuddling, stargazing and dance floor makeout sessions, you are in luck. But make your move-he won't stay single for long. His roommate is also quite the charmer (not to mention so good looking!)

Fun Fact: The reference to baby powder before? Ben applies it liberally to all parts of his body.
How to get him aroused:
Quote Austin Powers.
Favorite Singer:
Bruce Springsteen
Dislikes:
People who are intolerant of others' cultures and the Dutch.



Maddie Bergier '12

This month's bachelorette is Maddie Bergier, a junior government and religious studies major hailing from Brooklyn, New York. Many may know Maddie as the warm-hearted, slender, olive-skinned goddess that she is, but few have had the pleasure of hearing her melodic voice firsthand. Whether she is singing for Colby Chorale or creating sound effects for nearly everything she does, her vocals are one-of-a-kind.

She is currently residing in Go-Ho, where she was pleasantly surprised to discover that her newly renovated room came with its very own stripper pole. Always looking for a good time, Maddie can be found spending endless hours working in the library, eating at Bobs for nearly every meal and party-hopping on the weekends.

Maddie will be spending her spring semester abroad in Seville, Spain where she plans to further her language skills, drink copious amounts of sangria and have whirlwind romances with sexy Spanish men. Although she likes to travel, she currently does not know how to drive a car or ride a bike. Miss Bergier is also a photographer for InsideColby and can be seen with her monopod at almost every Colby event.

Above all, Maddie is a wonderful friend, and if you are even remotely interested, you can stalk her on Facebook.
