They Say What They Say

Oh my goodness, look at the pile of chocolate I got given for my birthday today! Just how much do they think I can eat at any one time?

( Look! )

Also, meet Harriet, my mystery!llama, and Aloysius's, her little friend.

( Aww, aren't they cute!? )

I'm going old-school with the picspam tonight.

I was thinking today, about all the movies I watched when I was growing up; all the old Hollywood classics that the TV stations screened on Saturday afternoons before sport took over and they stopped showing them. I loved those movies and for many years I wanted nothing more than to wake up one morning to find myself miraculously transformed in Cyd Charisse or Anne Miller. Of course that never happened, although I suspect many of my girly habits were formed by watching 50's actresses swish around in gorgeous, full-skirted frocks *g*

Anyway, that got me to wondering about the pinup boys of yor. The guys we would have been squeeing about in the 30's, 40's and 50's, had we been around back then. So I did some googling and came up with a list of my old-school imaginary boyfriends - the ones that had a place in my heart long before Josh and Peter, Jared and Jensen, and Callum and Hugh came along and dragged me kicking and screaming willingly into fandom.

( My all time favourite, Mr Gene Kelly )

( Timelessly elegant, Cary Grant )

( Tyrone Power )

( Burt Lancaster )

( Fred Astaire )

( A Young Frank Sinatra )

( No one works a tux like Humphrey Bogart )

( Gregory Peck, the original thinking woman's sex symbol )

( Clark Gable )

( How can you not love James Stewart? )

( Beautiful, brooding Gary Cooper )

( They don't make Hollywood bad boys quite like Errol Flynn anymore )

( You really can't have Spencer Tracy without Katherine Hepburn, you really can't. )

( People tend to forget that as well as being one of the original big screen tough guys, James Cagney was also a very accomplished song and dance man. )

I'm sure I've missed someone, so if you can think of an old-school hotty that should be added to the list, free free to contribute in the comments, because you can never have too many cute boys, no matter what era they come from!

My Slings & Arrows season three DVDs shipped today!

Aside from that, work has been mind numbingly boring and for some reason I've gone off chocolate! I forced myself to buy a Freddo Frog at lunchtime today and did not enjoy it at all. What's wrong with me? And to make matter worse, tonight I've been reading het and enjoying it!

*hides*

Oh look, cute boys!

I was going to celebrate the end of my life as a uni student (for now) and the fact that I have the next two weeks off work with some random picspam, but I'm suddenly very tired and a little drunk from the bottle of red I bought to go with my fish and chips so I'll save it until tomorrow. Meanwhile, if there's something (or someone) you'd like me to post a picture of, please feel free to leave a comment with your request and I'll do my damnedest to fulfill it.

shoshannagold, your card came today and it's just lovely. Thank you very much!

*hugs*

Huh, IMDB have changed their layout. Huh.

I was randomly googling Sports Night tonight and I stumbled across ( this: )

Then I found ( this: )

And ( this: )

And wow, ( this: )

And there's a whole plethora of stuff on felicity-huffman.com.

I also started writing a new llama fic at work today, but my computer ate it and then it was time to go home so I just gave up and left. Maybe I'll try and resurrect it tomorrow.
