The word for today is guh! The post is [livejournal.com profile] spaceygal64's, but I had to share.

The glasses caused some major wibble, I might add.

Like the icon says... Srsly.

(the link is worksafe, but not dial-up friendly - lots of backstage photos of John Barrowman, post-panto-performance)

And now, I must go mop up the drool off my keyboard.

Some men just look cuter in glasses, I've no idea why.

In Barrowman's case, I didn't think such a thing was possible.

I'll have to find some pix to upload to the iPod 'cause damn, that's tasty.

(Shamefully enough, I already have a pic of Barrowman from "The Producers" and that picture of Jack and Ianto on said iPod. And the entire bloody episode of Captain Jack Harkness... ;))

PS - I'm still DLing that URL you sent me, but one of them (3 - 6) keeps stalling out for some reason. With luck, it'll complete today (I leave my DLing client running at home when I'm at work)

Hmmm.....I can upload them separately if it keeps not working.

Remind me to get you one of those plastic keyboard covers, easier to wipe off in the future. ;)

Gorgeous, aren't they? Sometimes I think that man is more beautiful in each picture I see, and he was infinitely beautiful in the first place... it seems impossible.

SIGH

He is soooo gorgeous. Plus he's smart and funny, and I can't decide if that makes it better or worse. I've seen him on a couple of Brit interview shows courtesy of YouTube and he seems like he would be a hoot and an half to just sit and chat with.

Smart, funny, gorgeous and great slin too apparently...
Can I play with him please, can I can I can I?

that's SKIN obviously, sorry I'm blinded by the gorgeousness!

*chortle*

I got the gist.

And yeah, he's *freakishly* good looking. And apparently gives great fan-service. And if you'll excuse me, I need to have a little lie-down, now...

Ok look, at the moment I'm going between extremes of great discomfort and severe horniness.

That last sentence didn't help

I'm so getting [livejournal.com profile] flonaldinho a USAF greatcoat, I don't think he's gonna mind too much...

From: [identity profile] britgeekgrrl.livejournal.com
Er, sorry about that. I didn't think.

Still, misery loves company. My be-cysted ovary just gave a twinge in sympathy, if that helps you feel better. (that and I think it was reacting to all the estrogen those pix forcibly dumped into my system)

BTW, I tapped my hubby, the in-house expert on all things Air-Force shaped (uniform-wise, at least) and he told me with nary a doubt that what Jack's wearing is an RAF coat.

American volunteers - ie, chaps who stepped up before Pearl Harbor - would have worn RAF uniforms. So, that makes the search a bit easier at your end, although I fear that the coats will be hunted to extinction.

Apparently the USAF didn't introduce a greatcoat-style garment until after WWII...

{{hugs you}}

still think we're genetically linked you know ;)

And why we didn't think to ask him earlier I don't know.
*laughs*
At least it makes it much easier...

eep!

There are cheaper ones (from the 70s) but they're crappy and if you're going to do it, better do it right...

Y'know, that 70s issue isn't *so* bad - military demands meant that the worst fashion blunders could be avoided (US navy enlisted summer whites notwithstanding, that is). But I'd prefer to handle it/have a no-questions-asked return policy before buying, I must admit.

And that ebay auction... if the guy wants that sort of money, he could post some better pix. MUCH better pix....

Would this be too small?

I'm seriously eyeing it for myself, despite the fact I'd need six inches whacked off the bottom (but it would fit me in the chest. Moreover, I've a tall, slender galpal who's seriously thinking about cosplaying Jack.

But the shipping charges. And the exchange rate...

this yahoo hasn't uploaded a pic yet but he might be worth watching...

Sadly yes :( (although it would be fab on me even if I couldn't button it up!)
I'll keep an eye on the other one though :)

It's a bit small in the chest for me - although it'd be perfect if I lost those 15lbs I need to get rid of...

I don't know *where* I got this thing for militaria (I just realized I own four pieces that are all pre-1965 issue, from various branches) but it's certainly well-rooted...

Oh wow. That guy is too good-looking to be real.

Is that lippy on his face in the first set? :-)

That, my dear, is Captain Jack Harkness.

*swoons*

The OP mentioned that the lipstick was her fault - she just had to plant one on him and one can't blame her at all, no?

*fans self*

I did know who it was. I've seen Doctor Who and some of Torchwood, you know. ;-)

He's just too good-looking to be believed, that's what I was saying, and he looks so damned nice too.

BTW I wanna play B7 RPGs with Jack. Can I get other players in though? :-( I might do an e-mail but Red's posts about her to-do list frighten me.

From: [identity profile] britgeekgrrl.livejournal.com
I'm all for it. And if you fancy a Rose, I think her mun might be up for it, too. Heck, our Doctor-mun might go for it, and she's only 1 or 2 time zones away from you.

Or were you referring to needing *your* players to get a bit more into it.

If you like we can just kick it of over on your IC journal and go from there, rather than on the B7_rpg journal?

And I know, I know, poor Soolin is starving to death. I need to watch some eps and get re-inspired. :)

I'm about to go out, but I'll send an e-mail round and see what people think. I know Astro was really up for it, but I can't remember what shift she's on.

Today's real bad for me, anyways.

However, 20 hours from now, (ie, about 12 noon, Pacific time) I've already carved out a couple of hours to do some RP with the tardis_tour folks, so I could be around for AU-ish!Jack in another window, for sure. :)

But I have to bail out around 26 hours from now (ie 6PM Pacific) as I have a friend's b-day dinner to go to.

It'll probably take longer than that to set up anyway. I'm just testing the water.

Alrighty, let me know!

Just sent the e-mail round. :-)

although, I should say in all accuracy, that that's the chap who *plays* Captain Jack.

But I figure you're smart enough to have gotten that bit. ;)
