icarus: (Out Of Bounds 2)

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.

No, indeed.

His top three picks are the ones where the celebrities look the most vulnerable, too. I think I like this photographer....

Where are these top three pics? I couldn't find them on the About Face page itself.

If you look at the list of galleries, there are three of them, each opening with a different pic. One opens with Joe Flanigan, the 1st opens with Kevin Bacon, and the other opens with someone I don't know. All three of those photos are almost... strange.

They ARE. Although for the first one, that's most likely because Kevin Bacon is a bit strange per se. The second one I don't know; he's gorgeous, though, if far less interesting than Joe.

(And now I undestand--I chose the html version of the site first, which leads you directly to the galleries: no preview photo.)

Pretty much everyone there is less interesting than Joe. Or that could be me.

I love these two photos (posted for no reason whatsoever):

Must suppress flailing. Must. Suppress.

But: ♥. So much.

Good lord, his smile in that second photo...I can't help but get a big sappy grin on my face looking at his smile like that. The man might not be as pretty or handsome by the current standards of such things as other actors and models, but he is damn pretty in my book.

And the little hunch to his shoulders like he was caught being a tad naughty. :)
