slashiness galore
Dec. 16th, 2006 05:34 pmI must be on heat or something, or maybe it's just that this is the first day in three weeks where my back has been okay, but today I'm seein' MEN EVERYWHERE.
1) Men number one:
At the swimming pool. I hadn't been swimming for 3 weeks, what with the back, and normally we go every Saturday morning. And this morning, two new swimmers appeared! And, liek 111 phwoar.
They were young (under 25, I should estimate), built and displaying themselves for my viewing pleasure. All I needed to do was to swim along and there they were, at the end of the lane, clearly performing their bodies forme the world to ogle. Because why weren't they jumping straight into the water, eh? No, they were tying their goggles and putting their hands on their hips; I had time to do at least two lengths before they finally (*sob*) submerged those glorious bods.
What was so great was that they were two body types, next to each other. One was stocky, broad-shouldered, with a light down of hair on his chest, and legs like nine-pins: thighs, in at the knees, out at the calves, and what muscles on his upper arms. The other was a tad taller, with a smooth chest and standing-up brown nipples, a more tubular torso, and long legs with shapely knees. I practically drooled into the chlorine. Also, I stared shamelessly because they so clearly wanted to be stared at.
Their faces? I couldn't really tell you. I never got that far up.
2) Men number two:

Kirk and Spock! Now, I hadn't seen Star Trek in years and there it was on daytime TV. And suddenly I understood with a flash why this was the first slashy fandom. Because it is total canon. Kirk bats his long, long eyelashes, and Spock stands around being manly, and they wear knee-high boots over calf-length trousers, and in the episode I saw (called 'Yesterday is Tomorrow' or somesuch), Spock got jealous because Kirk was ogling another man, and Kirk was ogling this other man: looking him up and down in most gratuitous fashion.
3) Man number three:




Shahrukh Khan. In Duplicate. Which is a silly little film but somehow despite this or because of this, SRK is teh total hawt in it. And there is one scene where he dresses up as a woman, and the gangster man lies down on top of him and licks his collarbone, and his legs in tights are totally the hot, and they don't try to pantomime it up at all: he is dressed as a hot chick, he struts about like a hot chick, his make-up makes his lips look like some luscious vulva, and I nearcame in peed my knickers.
Alas, internet, hello...!!!! Where are the screencaps here?!
4) Man number four:
T'h.
Aaaw. Well, he's not really slashy as such but I just thought I'd add him in 'cos he's the only one I actually get to grope.
Also: Arsenal/Portsmouth 2:2! What a game! I heard it all on Radio Five Live.

Funny that you mention. Star Trek and the ultimate, orginal OTP because I just re-read a couple of Star trek-novels. I was addicted to them as a teenager. Right now I'm reading <i>Schwarzes Feuer</i> (Black Fire) by Sonni Cooper and I swear it's a published slash fiction story!!! There's an explosion on the bridge of the Enterprise and while Kirk is in coma for months Spock finds out that it was sabotage and goes to investigate. Sonni Cooper mentions time and again th<t Kirk is Spock's only 'friend'. Of course, later in the book he meets some Romulan guy and 'befriends' him. It's so very obvious I do wonder what those publishers thought?!
Well, no, I don't really get the appeal of Sharukh Khan.
And isn't it typical that the Arsenal match was brilliant when I decided to be a woman and not go begging <lj site="livejournal.com" user="stina_x"> to record it for me? Because of course, first livestream decided to fuck up and then my laptop nearly crashed making me miss the whole second half. *grumbles* I will so beg for her to record the ManU match tomorrow.

Date: 2006-12-17 04:22 pm (UTC)It is a phenomenal scene. In the middle of this daft comedy, suddenly, wham, this scene. I was practically holding my breath the whole time. And the fact that in a film that totally hams up the acting (Very Bad Manu! Very Silly Bablu!), the Drag Scene was played virtually straight ... *hiccups*

Date: 2006-12-18 02:00 pm (UTC)I don't know what's going on with your program - probably some weird Mac thing. :) I have Windows and use either PowerDVD or InterVideo and capping is relatively simple. I don't know if they're Mac compatible? Still, I have posted caps on my journal now, just check out the latest entry. I hope I captured SRK in all his glory :)
