John's beater from Out Of Bounds. Joe Flanigan posed mostly nude?

WG and I have come to a truce on John's car in Out Of Bounds.

I thought I found John's car from Out Of Bounds.

The 1978 Chevy Caprice, which he bought in 1989, just after he graduated high school:


[livejournal.com profile] wildernessguru says, "No way does John drive that. No guy would drive that land yacht."

"Okay," I asked him, "So what does he drive?"

He suggested a Dodge Dart. I told him that John's car has to have a back seat, and the Dart's back seat is way too small. I pointed out that John has had this car forever. It spends most of the story in various states of disrepair. (Mostly the heat's broken. In Canada.) He said, "Whatever, no way would John drive that."

Sigh. It's not like John can afford a muscle car or anything sporty. I kept hunting.

After an evening spent cruising cars in the Lemon-ade Guide, I showed [livejournal.com profile] wildernessguru the following. WG's cool with the 1980 Chevy Caprice Classic although John's obviously wouldn't be black (his is burgundy) or in mint condition like this one:


"More of a beater," he said, but he agreed with this choice.

I said, "You mean like this?"


"Yeah," he said.

We'll not tell him that's another photo of the original car, or that the only difference between the first and second car was the model year. *snickers*

Did you know about Joe Flanigan posing mostly nude for About Face? This is the first I'd heard of the project.

He looks both vulnerable, uncomfortable, and intense. Off-balance. It's a very interesting photo for more reasons than the obvious.

Please respect the power of the word."Did you know about Joe Flanigan posing mostly nude for About Face?"
I'm surprised that the About Face site hasn't gone down under the weight of rabid fangirls trying to see JF in teh altogether!!! Which he isn't1 *pouts*
But, the photographer has produced startling images. All the faces are sharply in focus, but the bodies are kinda receeding. I'm sure JF should be more hairy than that.His shoulders seem to slope very sharply. Has he been airbrushed? But the expression, now that's something else. Vulnerable. Hmm.
Thanks for posting!

Oh, hey, did you want notes on John's costume? Because I do have a costume (though it's not needed for the pic of you're looking for clean lines, and I have a feeling you should just go with what you're picturing and I'll shut up now, no, I'm not a bit excitied about Out Of Bounds art, why do you ask?).

Art for Art's sake. ( Well, no one's *paying* me ...)

Notes would be good. So glad you're not *excited* or anything ... *g*
I have just about finished the "straight" version of my [livejournal.com profile] paintedspires art and the "slashy" version (with Rodney rather than Atlantis as the focus of John's regard) will only require some small changes.
So I will be able to think skating pics shortly.
But ... what would *you* like?
