Hello lovelies!

Hope the title meets with everyone's approval.

I have just one thing to say at the moment, a propos of the John Finnemore thing in the last thread: 'pub kitten'? 'pub kitten'?!!? Just how cute does that sound?

Don't forget, it's Birling Day next weekend - England v Wales Grin

Dear lord... The collar, the cheek bones... Cannot wait to see it. The swishy coat...

LetUsPrey · 10/03/2013 20:14

I watched the other trailer again today. BC swooping down in his hood and with his swishy coat on and waving around his enormous weapon Grin

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 10/03/2013 22:19

Just saw the new trailer. Am I the only one who is waiting for Tumblr to splice the footage of him in the HottieHarrisonMobile into the Jaguar ads?

Prey, going all Freudian now, thinking of him "waving around his enormous weapon"...And with that, I'm off to bed! 'Night, all!

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 11/03/2013 14:38

They are so cute together!!

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 11/03/2013 14:47

That's so funny! What is Benedict wearing though?!?

Pair of geeks Grin

Meant affectionately of course!

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 11/03/2013 18:10

Glad I mentioned it Grin. Sort of assumed I was preaching to the choir.

The Sherlock hair is back

LetUsPrey · 12/03/2013 18:53

Squeeeeeeeee to Sherlock news!!

A shag me senseless to this

And an oh for the love of ...... to this Grin

FrankellyMyDearIDontGiveADamn · 12/03/2013 18:55

Prey I was about to post the same picture from WAYWB Grin

Great dirty minds think alike Wink

FrankellyMyDearIDontGiveADamn · 12/03/2013 21:21

Listening to Jo Whiley on Radio 2 earlier, she said she was at the Sky Arts Awards this afternoon and spoke to BC Envy. She said she invited him to come on her show and he said he'd like to, so watch this space Grin

LetUsPrey · 12/03/2013 21:21

Frankel Grin

And look, hi-res hair. I could properly run my fingers through that Grin

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 13/03/2013 16:26

I know I'm going to get slammed for saying it, but I hate the Sherlock hairdo. I know it's for the role (and I wouldn't kick him out of bed for having it), but oh, give me this any day...

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 13/03/2013 17:10

No, I'm not keen either, GreenCard! (I may have said so on this thread actually and been politely ignored Grin). Silly little ringlets. Tight and bouffantish at the same time. A bit not good.

I like this hair

and this

and another one just to ensure you all know what I'm on about

Sherlock hair is not the best hair, but definitely not the worst. AssangeBatch for example...

LetUsPrey · 13/03/2013 18:04

I like the curly Sherlock hair. Like this for example.

I think GingerCurlyBatch is among my favourites though Grin

LetUsPrey · 13/03/2013 18:05

The last photo on that page by the way.

NeedsAGreenCardForFantasyLand · 13/03/2013 19:56

I think it's the long stuff on the sides that creeps me out. My sons threaten to get hippie hair when they grow up, because every time I see that their hair is growing over their ears, I go running for the scissors. (Well, figuratively running, we do have be good role models, don't we?!)

I am also partial to his hair in his incarnation as BirdShortBatch. And let's not forget HarpersBazaarBatch. And the new Japanese Marie Claire shoot that I posted earlier today. Hubba hubba!

Frankel, definitely, AssangeBatch is...blecch. My poor brain will be fighting with itself -- turned off because of the hair, but turned on because of the voice...

LetUsPrey · 13/03/2013 21:42

More Sherlock news anyone?

holmessweetholmes · 13/03/2013 22:10

I love the Sherlock curly hair! And I like it dark. I'm not such a fan of gingerbatch unless it's that kind of dark auburny colour. Defininitely not a fan of ginger with sideburns. Can't believe we have to wait until Christmas for Sherlock 3! I feel a Series 1 and 2 viewing coming on...
