Favourite of the Week

Okay, so I just stumbled upon this nice picture of Jake Gyllenhaal as Prince of Persia. Hot damn!!! He's just gorgeous. *drools*

He used to be my celeb crush a few years back after seeing Brokeback Mountain. I haven't seen anything with him for a while and the crush has kind of faded. But, dang, I think it's back. And who can blame me? He is super hot!

He just seems so down to earth, and lovable. Not to mention, kissable.

I think I want to be a damsel in distress... Come and rescue me, Jake!

And damn, does he look good in a suit! Yup, the crush is a fact. Damn.

The Clothes Makes the Man?

Clothes has some serious power, people. Some people can put on almost anything and be totally gorgeous, others, not so much. Let's look at an example, shall we?

Let's look at Richard Armitage. I've seen him as Mr Thornton and Guy of Gisborne and he's really handsome in both. As Guy especially, he looks so deliciously bad ass in black leather. And, yes, I have a soft spot for guys in cravat, but you already knew that. So as Mr Thornton I just adore him. He's always got this dark and brooding thing going. I love it! ;)

But in The Vicar of Dubley, not so much. He's just not made for wearing normal clothes! ;)And most definitely not glasses!

Sure, I can fully admit that I see him as his characters. And I can admit that he does look very handsome in a nice suit. But as a normal dude? Nope. Doesn't do it for me. Maybe he's just made to be dark and brooding? :P

Or is it just me?

Never Underestimate the Power of a White Shirt

Seriously, is there anything sexier than a man in a spanking white shirt? If you don't agree, let me give you a few examples:

Rupert Penry-Jones (Persuasion for example)

Jonathan Rhys-Meyers (The Tudors)

Jensen Ackles (Supernatural)

Paul Wesely (Vampire Diaries)

My favourite, Mr Darcy (Colin Firth) in a slightly wet shirt :P

Favourite of the Week

This week I'm giving you one of my, recently discovered, favourite songs. I've probably heard it a million times before, but since my new found fascination with vampires, it just speaks to me! ;)

Vampire Heart by HIM

So, I had actually thought of making a Twilight-fanvid with this song, but a visit to YT showed me that there are a million already. Perhaps I will resolve to write something instead.

The lyrics are marvelous too:
You can't escape the wrath of my heart
Beating to your funeral song
All faith is lust for hell regained
And love dust in the hands of shame
just be brave

Let me bleed you this song
Of my heart deformed
And lead you along this path in the dark
Where I belong
Until I feel your warmth

Hold me like you held onto life
When all fears came alive and entombed me
Love me like you loved the sun
Scorching the blood in my vampire heart

I'll be the thorns on every rose
You've been sent by hope
I am the nightmare waking you up
From the dream of a dream of love

Let me weep you this poem
As Heaven's gates close
And paint you my soul,
Scarred and alone
Waiting for your kiss to take me back home

Hold me like you held onto life
When all fears came alive and emtombed me
Love me like you loved the sun
Scorching the blood in my vampire heart

Nothing more needs to be said. I love it, I adore it, I want my own vampire. Give him to me! ;)

A Dream Come True?

Me and my Mr Darcy, made by a new friend. :) Aren't we cute? :P

There's a New Doctor in Town...

Doctors 1-8

Or in space, rather. I've followed the new series of Doctor Who since they started in 2005. It's, I guess, one of the oldest tv- series out there. It originally aired between 1963 and 1989, but was taken up again by BBC in 2005. I have seen some of the old black and white eppies from those days, but I think I prefer the newer ones. We are now down to the 11th doctor.

The doctor is a Timelord and is travelling through space and time to, well, not really meddle, but help out. He usually travels with a companion or two. The most famous one, at least of the 2005 version, I think is Rose. She was with him for quite some time. He met her in the first season, as the 9th doctor.

The 9th Doctor is played by Christopher Eccelston. It was really my first encounter with the series and I really didn't know what to expect. But I liked what I saw. Looking back, I think he's the darker, moodier of the three I have followed. It must be hard to take a role that has been played by so many before you.

Then came he turned into the 10th Doctor, and David Tennant, and I fell truly in love with the series. I really enjoyed his quick humor and sort of geeky handsomeness. He's still funny and all, but there is something darker lurking beneath the smiling surface, which we also get to see later in the series. Being the last of one's kind cannot be easy, even if you are the Doctor. I kept on wanting him and Rose to get together for real, but it didn't happen and she ended up in another universe. Too sad really.

And now, here he is, the 11th Doctor, played by the youngish Matt Smith, well he's younger than me anyways. ;) And he's already got a good companion in Amy Pond, a fiery Scot. There's only been 3 episodes so far, but I think I like the new doctor. The concept is still the same. But I'm eager to see what will happen with Amy's wedding...

Northern Sky - North & South-video

I've been working on this fanvideo for some time, and is finally finished. I really like how this turned out. I'm reading Gaskell's novel at the moment, so I will return with something on that. I'm currently quite infatuated with the passionate Mr Thornton!
