Pretty sure it was time for another crush anyway :)

I spend rather more time than healthy with Google Image search these days. Can't even remember what I was looking for now, but suddenly found a picture that turned on a little light-up sign in my head: Des

Can we photoshop out the tattoos? I don't mind a couple of small ones, but the rest just don't do a thing for me. They distract from the beauty of the body.

As for the face... not bad at all!

[gregoria44]

Heh! Now tattoos I'm okay with, and sometimes rather in love with, depending on quality, placement and quantity (fussy me, much?!) I quite like Vinnie's body/arm tats, I like the way they follow his body shape, rather than ignoring or disguising it. I really dislike a full sleeve/chest/back of tattoos - it's like being a walking canvas rather than a yummy man body!!

However, this chap also has random work all over his thighs, which I don't approve of at all (bet he's devastated about that ;)

Just after I posted this, I found an amazing shot of his eyes - well, one eye, but the other was obscured with cigarette smoke, and that was kinda depressing, so.

WOO HOO! I love that you 'found' your man, after all this time. Ha!

I am being incredibly slack on all internet fronts (except Candy Crush, natch) so am way behind on Blood Rising. I sincerely hope that my 'old' life returns, in some degree, one day and I can catch up.

And do Google searches for such treasure too...

PS I am sure we have had the Michael Praed convo previously where I declared undying love for him....?

I've got these photos saved on my phone as well, because I can't quite believe that first one (top one on this post) and have to keep looking at it to make sure I didn't dream it.

(I may also prop it up against my monitor as writing inspiration until the phone screen saver cuts to black - but that would sound odd...)

Hmmm, are you telling me I'm being thrown over for a FB game on a regular basis? *sulks* BR chapters are the time equivalent of a round of CC - or less - and hopefully not as frustrating!

Oh, yes, we've most definitely covered the lusciousness of 80s Praed!! If not during the adventures_in topic, then certainly beforehand.

Now I've got the DVDs back from my fellow RH'06 fan, I shall have myself a rewatch of the Hooded Hottie. It's about time.

[Then I shall have me some Harry Lloyd Will Scarlett timez, because beauty is not era dependant, thank goodness!)

Oooh, pretty. And a Kiwi to boot! How very pleasing! ;-)

Oh and slurps to the Michael Praed love. SO DAMNED PRETTY and the green pants... well, don't get me started.

[gregoria44]

Heh! First I realised he was an NZer, I thought, 'oh, Haldoor WILL be pleased!'

He's either from, or lives in, Raglan.

And yes, I looooove that I can't mention Mr. Praed without you and MSB66 dissolving into a collective swoon! :D So, so hairily handsome ♥
