Am in the midst of writing [livejournal.com profile] help_haiti fic for [livejournal.com profile] msilverstar (and also [livejournal.com profile] zarah5.) They bid for Orlando Bloom / Dominic Monaghan.

Could any of you help me out, as I've been out of the loop? Preliminary googling brought up most recent film and TV ventures and some pics but, in my experience, the best pics are often hidden away on page 753 of image-google so I'd be phenomenally grateful for anything in the way of pics!!

Can you point me to any pics of Dominic or Orlando that are:
• ravishing
• delicious
• rugged
• curly
• moody
• recent (2008 onwards)
• any of the two of them together????

And omg, even Elijah Wood looks almost acceptable these days. Give the lad another 20 years and he could be positively yummy. *g*

And you know what? This is absurd, I know. That fandom had been lain to rest for me long ago. But yet. Just now. When I was image-googling, my heart started thumping absurdly; my pulse is racing; fandom clearly never loosens its grip just goes on little holidays.


Okay, and that last one is neither Dom nor Orli but also a beautiful man. ;-) (Kaká t'football star).

I don't believe this. *grits teeth in frustration*

My Name is Khanis released today. But not in my home town.

opera

I saw an opera last night.

T'h took me to London to see The Gambler, composed by Prokofiev (he of Peter and the Wolf fame) and based on a novella by Dostoevsky, at the Royal Opera House. This is only the third opera I've seen in my life. The last two were in the 1980s in Berlin.

I loved it!!!!!

What a brilliant discovery! It's like a whole new world that's available to me because we can go back for more and more and more. I loved: the architecture; the splendid interior (18th C., red and gold, high high ceiling, curved loges and balconies); the narrative music; the liveness of the music; the stage set omg!!!!!; the singing; the acting; the snappy funkiness; the coolness of Londoners; the atmosphere of before and during the interval with cool and chic and camp Londoners milling around in marvellous surroundings drinking champagne and eating tapas; the silver-haired gentlement with wide-brimmed hats and/or silk waistcoats and/or woollen scarves and/or kissing each other; the sheer Bollywoodness of it all.

I never knew: opera is total fun!!!
