WS 2012 Sandbox: ws in the sand

FT, there is such a thing as over-thinking things.

Thom Yorke is a persistent abdomen exposer. It's really quite endearing.

There's more recent ones, too, but I can't be arsed to dig through 40,000 fan sites to find them right now.

Do wonder how much of Ryan Gosling's appeal is down to *his* persistent abdomen exposing. Watching fan dialogue about him, it's not even the abdomen but those ~lines~ that extend from hip to groin. Which seem to drive many women (OK, Jezebel commenters and ladies in my tweetstream) into a froth of sexual excitation.

Um, have you taken a look at where you ~are~? This is ILX. We have 400 post threads about whether to put 1 or 2 spaces after a fullstop. And you think questioning the pervasive and all-surrounding depictions of one of human beings' most fundamental activities is *overthinking*?

RMDE!

It's not but I guess this thread has a standing history of being mostly pictures and people often get up in arms when it gets too wordy. More pics, less talk was the sort of arrangement we had previously. There are tons of other threads where this sort of thing can and should be discussed.

ps - Gosling is overrated in the attractiveness dept imo. I just don't really get the appeal.

^^ otm xp

^^^^^ would not smash. He looks bizarre, and totally unlike himself. That photo has always freaked me out.

(sorry, too much talking again)

HAHAHAHAHAH x-post

lol

TY does look really weird there. It's over photoshopped, right?

FT I wasn't trying to be mean or bitchy before. I just wanted you to know why ppl might be giving you a hard time. A little talk is fine but the big discussions stuff is generally better elsewhere, I think?

I think he's one of those people who looks better in action than still pics but I love Michael Pitt even tho in most real life pics he looks pretty gross and sort of like he smells. He's pretty beautiful imo.

ahhh huge sorry

He looks weird because they've photoshopped out all the things that make him look distinctive - his freckles, his ptosis, his sticky out ears, his lizard cheekbones. I think he looks so much better like this (apart from the bad hair)

But then again, I think that *this* woman is so beautiful and amazing looking and sexy *because* of her freckles, and ppl were being nasty about them upthread (makes me feel self conscious TBH)

I have no idea how that Michael Pitt dude is, but he is ~pretty~ - then again, I don't have a problem with dudes looking like they smell, as we all know.

That woman's freckles are amazing.

The first thing I remember seeing Pitt in was Hedwig and the Angry Inch but he's been in a bunch of movies and is one of the main people on Boardwalk Empire.

I love Michael Pitt even tho in most real life pics he looks pretty gross and sort of like he smells. He's pretty beautiful imo.

this is AGL, cf daniel craig, sometimes

It can be and the pic FT posted is hottt but he's lefit shown up to some premiers in disgusting stained t shirts looking like he really hasn't showered in months. I think he may have had some errr problems for a time. It was an unhealthy sort of gross look not a hot one.

Don't understand how anyone could object to freckles tbh

Can we use this thread for vintage ws's too? Because

The model Ferenc Berko used for his 'Nude Study, Paris, 1937' series... yes oh yes...

p much of the opinion that god invented freckles so that the ppl of the "Celtic" nations could get laid. (or maybe that's whisky, not sure TBH)

Now, that's "conventionally handsome", I'll grant you.

Sorry, *shh*

I just realized that michael pitt and I sort of look like we could be related and not I've skeeved myself out.

ha ha, I have only just realised that Thommy there is totally biting the style of my No 1 Boyfriend...

This is a skeeve, why? It's part of the appeal of No.1 Boyfriend, TBh :-P

what do ♀ilx think of 'France's fresh-faced finance minister, François Baroin, 46'?

Any shots of him bearing his abdomen and/or biting a shirt?

^^^^^^^would be helpful in deciding

Quick GIS shows him to be alright in a smarmy blow dried Nu Labour kind of way, but he's no Chuka Umunna that's for sure.

that "weird" picture of Thom is from a series of photos, including the other radiohead dudes, where they were all obscenely photoshopped in the glossy fashion mag style.

by the way, i'm in the camp that's cool with thom yorke (and anyone else) getting posted, just not 5 trillion times. it's not like there's a hard limit but come on

hard limit

yeah it kind of amazes me that anyone had to explain this considering that he's HOLDING UP A SIGN WITH PHOTOSHOP INSTRUCTIONS

i was gonna say

but it was a cardboard sign, so, less legit

Dear Z S, while you're here, please can you photoshop my RMDE poster into an animated GIF where all the members of RMDE are, literally, rolling their eyes and KMT-ing?

I will curtail my Thom Yorke enthusiasm on this thread to no more than 1 Thom per day if you do this for me, and that's a promise.

hahaha

i'm not ready to commit, but i need to ask two questions:

who are RMDE?
what is KMT-ing?

:)

i'm gonna break my self imposed salpa ban at this rate

Rolling My Damn Eyes
Kissing My Teeth

Come on, that should be a cinch for someone with your photoshop skillz!

The poster is upthread, but here it is again if you don't feel like going back that far

Now you've lost me, you internet kids

georgia salpa GIS imo

hmmm, Kiss My Teeth is interesting, but what if I go for the alternative KMT definition at Urban Dictionary?

KMT 52 up, 497 down
THESE 3 WORDS STAND FOR KRAZY.MEXICAN.TAGGERS A CREW IN SOUTH MPLS 612 IN MINNESOTA....
IM FROM THE TAGGIN CREW KMT FOO!

They have Sexy Models in Ireland? An outrage!

So long as there is eye-rolling involved, sure, go crazy! I have 100% faith in your inspired funnies-bringing creative skills.

I demand freckles!

salpa is iirc the only girl in ireland w/out the pigmentation speckle

Salpa is semi-imported tbf

hush now

yah i mentioned that to deems before

a neat mirroring where brazil deifies freckly cynthia dicker and ireland reps for mediterraneans

Yes, you don't get Sexy People in Ireland

I just watched Your Highness, which wasn't very good, but I thought the actress playing the love interest of the protagonists' brother was pretty hot:

http://0.tqn.com/d/movies/1/0/E/I/X/your-highness-photo-zooey-deschanel2.jpg

Sadly it was only a supporting role, while the lead female role was by Natalie Portman, who I don't really find attractive at all.

Guys is this a 'shop? What do you think?
