That's a very stylish hat he has there.

I love that hat! I was so excited when I got to the 'hair ornament' part to find it there, in among the girlish barrettes and the endless baseball caps.

Check out the black turtle-neck. RAWR!

I love the turtleneck! It reminds me of Orli in Italian Vogue and of, um, an Indian lover I once had. (Who is the prime reason why I liked Orli in Italian Vogue...)

You had an Indian lover who wore black turtlenecks? *swoons* Someday you MUST write a novel based on your life.

What else has my fanfic been...?

So you understand the black turtleneck in combination with the Indian man thing? Heh. This affair took place in Berkeley, California, btw. It's your part of the coast. It does things to people.

Well yes, you have told me that some of your fic is based in RL. But I want more! *is nosey* And yes, we on the West Coast are a rather-shall we say- interesting bunch. We corrupt as many Europeans as possible!

Well, duh, why did I slash Kiran???

*is stopped dead in tracks by icon*

I'm feeling a bit silly throwing all of these Arthur icons around, since I haven't seen the movie yet. I'm also reading all of the fic and am therefore completely and utterly spoiled. But I swoon over knights in armor much like you do over Indians in turtlenecks. :)

But... but... a knight is in a carapace! And an Indian in a turtleneck is in soft cotton!

Re iconage before canonage: I am entirely in favour of familiarising oneself with fanon before getting close to canon. Entirely.

But a knight is shiny!! And I think I have an armor fetish. To me, one of the sexiest moments in movie history is in The Two Towers where Aragorn is getting dressed for battle. I just get all wibbly.

I thought you might feel that way. :P

Arawho? I can't even remember him getting dressed for anything. But Theoden getting armoured!!!!!!!

[brightest-blue.livejournal.com]

You don't remember the ker-chunk of the chain mail shirt as it falls over his shoulders? The slap of leather as he fastens his sword-belt? I'd better stop before I go all weak in the knees. And oh yes, Theoden getting armored up was another highlight; by Gamling no less. *goes off to have a moment*

[lazulus]

Just for that I have a wild urge to make one of you!

*cackles evilly*

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

Heh. Make away! I sort of recognise you in yours which is scary, considering it's just some Chinese weird internet computer compound.

That thing is bizarre. Imade several of myself and a couple of my husband. Most of mine do look like me, but my husband's is extremely recognizable. ANd they have the little pink flower like I do wear in my hair in the accessories section, and my glasses, and a golf hat that I wear sideways,like in the damned picture. Weird.

Black turtlenecks are sexy.

That *is* uncanny! Do you think that site is run by ex-secret service people, trained in making composite Wanted pictures??
