The Benedict Cumberbatch Appreciation Society: Come and Tinker With Me, Benedict!

[LadyClariceCannockMonty]

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?

Star Trek Sqquuuueeee

Over here in FantasyLand, we're pretending that it's Smaug breathing the fire in the volcano in that clip.

Yes, it's been that kind of day.

This will make me feel slightly better about my impending 40th birthday. Less than four weeks to go. Wouldn't it be nice if I got a gift-wrapped Benedict? I know just where the bow would go, too.

I wouldn't even want that much wrapping on him.

Squeeeeeeeeeeeeee for Star Trek!

40 GreenCard? You're a youngster!

Um...I wasn't planning on any other wrapping other than the bow, actually.

And I may be a "youngster" but I have enough white hairs to warrant a colour job every three months. [checks mirror, makes mental note to make appointment]

The bow would be overkill

I have grey/white hairs. I look upon them as nature's highlights

The colouring is the only major beauty vice I have. Now to keep my stylist from mixing up Platinum Blonde and smearing it in my hair... Last time I came home with Elsa-Lanchester-style stripes going up my temples... Yuck.

God, I'm giggling at this.

And the quilter in me is DYING to make him one based on these.

Holy cleavage, Batman! Don't envy her when it came time to remove that double-sided sticky tape.... (But being that close to Benedict just might be worth it...)

Something else to look forward to in the coming months

Yaaaaaaaaaaaay, Cabin Pressure!

That's all.

I am disappointed that none of you has posted this yet...

And this made me laugh out loud.

This... just makes me want to cry, he's so pretty. Am I going to go straight to hell if I take this picture to my hairdresser and tell her to make my hair that colour?

Not chance to post any links tonight as not on laptop and DC and DH have been lurking. Loving the links though

Can't wait for Cabin Pressure!

Why the worry about getting dressed again?

megcleary, I just clicked on the Burlesque photo again. Zoom in, and you can see one of his trouser buttons is undone....

Actually, those trousers seem to feature a lot of FantasyLand fodder....

Cabin Pressure applications now open

Restricted to one application per household. Good luck everyone!

I would so love to go to a Cabin Pressure recording. Had the Christmas special on yesterday. John Finnemore is a fantastic writer.

Loads of things I wanted to link to last night but didn't get chance. Will try later.

Have applied.

Have crossed EVERYTHING.

Good luck. Fingers crossed for you

I've applied for 16th December

Good luck, ladies!!

Clarice what date did you go for? If we both get the same day we really ought to meet up for a drinkie

Ah, if only he were

That disguise does funny things to me

Good luck with the ticket applications!

Ladies, send links, am stuck in parent night hell....

Here you go GreenCard, some very, very biteable lips
