What Does It Mean When You are Between TV Character Fashion Icons? Or Giving Up The Scully - Look

I didn't post when I normally would post because I am trying to condense my "Sex and The Invisible Man" post to a managable length and also not include huge honking spoilers and this is hard to do and there is so much exposition what with the "This is your gland, this is your brain on your gland, oh and here is Arnaud" that you have to get thru before you can even get to the Sexual Development of Darien Fawkes and so I am thinking I'll make it several posts.

Maybe. My life is hard and I find I am out of sorts on weekdays I don't post something. So here is what is going on today. I am wearing a new shirt. It is nothing special. It is pretty much a glorified T-shirt of a non stretchy jersey knit and it is long sleeved with a boat neckline and the sleeves are ruched at the wrists with long ties. It is very structured looking which makes it dressy enough for work and it is either a periwinkle or a bluish lilac. It is actually a springy top, but it was warm this morning and I was tired of sweaters so I risked it. Actually, I bought it at a Banana outlet store for like $6 and my first thought when I saw it was "Claire!" and since I have so few Keeper-Tops, I grabbed it.

I have been complimented by every single person I work with today. It is kinda freaky now. Everytime I leave my cubicle I am accosted by someone else who says "Love that top, Liz" and I can't decide what it is about this particular shirt that is pushing their buttons. I don't think it is that the top is very feminine, since I wear stuff that is much more girly than this. Maybe it is the color? I'm not adverse to pastels and wear pink a lot, but maybe this is a newer color? Maybe it is that they are all sick of sweaters and turtlenecks under suit coats as well and this top makes us all think that we are just this much closer to Spring?

I'd say this proves that I should add more Keeper-clothes to my wardrobe, but you know? Claire is really hit or miss fashionwise. Now, don't get me wrong, I think she is beautiful and I like her clothes but the dress with the boots in Flowers for Hobbes always strikes me as two really nice parts of outfits that don't belong together.

Sigh. Claire. She does have a very nice formal dress in Money for Nothing and I love that she wears little gloves to a funeral in Beholder. That is all kinds of classy... maybe I should dress more like Claire (barring the inappropriate dress/boots combo)... Hmmm.... Maybe I should grow out my hair? I am beginning to worry that I have Ultimate Spiderman's haircut and that is just a little too edgey for a gal like me to pull off. Maybe I need long hair again. Long, hot-rolled hair like Claire and Buffy have with blonde highlights? I can do that. I have the technology.

Smallville (I'll Edit In the Title When I Figure out what it is) and Child of Geoff

So I am watching Smallville and I gotta tell you -- this is what happens when you only have abstinence programs in school.

Scenes from my living Room:

Me: Wow, he really is a Big Dumb Alien. I mean really.

The Boy: How is he supposed to save the world?

Me: I'm beginning to think that maybe Future Lex has a point.

Later

The Boy: I still think they are married in the eyes of God.

Me: Are you sure? I don't think God will even claim Clark at this point. "Child of God, eh, no. My brother made him!"

The Boy: Yes! Geoff - brother of God. Clark Kent is a child of Geoff.

Me: Yes. Geoff is God's stoner brother who lives in the basement. All he makes are Big Dumb Aliens that blow up their planets. But hey! At least they are pretty.

Invisible Man Pic Post 6: Sex and the Invisible Man: Part A - Getting the Basics Out of the Way

Part 1: The Most Important Thing to Know about "The Invisible Man".
Part 2: A Completely Shallow Look at Darien Fawkes.
Part 3: Here A Hobbes, There a Hobbes....
Part 4: Flowers for Hobbes.
Part 5: When Darien Met Bobby: OMG TEH CUTE!!11!!!.

So last night I decide to finally post "Sex and the Invisible Man" and I look at the pics uploaded and I needed more and as I was converting the caps over to jpeg I realized that... well there are over 100 caps and I need each and every one of them because each illustrates a point about the sexual nature of Darien Fawkes and you must know this.

But also - I have a tendency to be *extremely* longwinded, so I did make an attempt to condense and to also remove any obvious spoilers that might cause someone who has not yet viewed the series run to just not enjoy it as much. This was hard as there are some things where you want to say "THERE! RIGHT THERE!! Did you see that? That's what I'm talking 'bout!" but those scenes and caps contain not only spoilers about Darien as a character, they also contain big ass spoilers for the conclusion or events leading up to the conclusion of the series and you don't need that. Also - it allowed me to cut, like 40 screencaps. Man, I love this show. I might do a Hard Spoiler entry later, but I don't trust some of y'all not to jump ahead.

Remember. No watching "Flowers for Hobbes" until you have watched at least the first 14 episodes. The two eps before FfH are important, but I understand if you have to skip them. Also, they involve really dumb superpowers and are quite possibly the worst episodes out of all of season one so - erm. But then you get to FfH and it is so freaking good that there is no way I can ever pump you up too much for it that you would then watch FfH and be disappointed, because it is just that good. But you have to watch it in order, otherwise you are disrespecting the goodness. Don't Diss the FfH, people. I take that seriously.


So now without further ado, I give you Darien Fawkes and the basic shit you need to know before we talk about the good stuff: ( Read more... )
