honey, this mirror isn't big enough for the two of us

Good afternoon. It's Tuesday. I have consumed a cup of coffee approximately the size of my head, and yet I'm still not alert. So it goes.

Last week I threatened to post Frank Iero picspam. Pretty much everyone promised me dire threats in return if I did not deliver. Well, you asked for it, and it isn't dial-up friendly:

You know what? Frank looks a little like what would happen if you accidentally washed all your Ian Black and your Gael Garcia Bernal in the same load, on hot, and then ran them in the dryer for a really really long time.

Except he doesn't have any socks stuck to him with static cling. Although now I've mentioned it, I am sure you will provide photos of same.

[shrift]

Wow. That's freakishly apt. I'm now tempted to merge Michael Ian Black's face with Gael Garcia Bernal's just to see what their children would look like.

I won't, because even sad, pathetic Frank fangirls like me need to go to bed sometime.

[jmchau]

again, the BESTEST picspam EVER.

and I agree you are not obsessed or stalkerly, just extremely focused.

[shrift]

Why thank you! And I really could be more insane about Frank; I'm not sending him fan letters pieced together with magazine clippings, after all. I like to think that I just have a very healthy appreciation.

So, the general way this fandom has gone for me is that there has been one pic of each guy--all right, with the exception of a couple of them who just slay me all the fucking time--that just find the guys for me.

I'd been looking for said picture of Frank. I mean, I'd seen plenty I'd liked, but nothing that just cut my stomach out, you know?

Until the first pic in this spam.

Thank you.

[shrift]

I mean, I'd seen plenty I'd liked, but nothing that just cut my stomach out, you know?

I do know what you mean. And that's why I chose that first picture to start, because when I first found it, my gut leapt sideways and I lost my English.

Holy shit, Frank. Holy shit.

For a moment, I thought your icon said "ponce".

Obviously, it doesn't. But still amusing.

[shrift]

Ha! I dare anyone to call Batman a ponce.

[sparklebutch]

I'm picturing Evil!Superman, grinning. Sure of himself.

...Or Spike.

Look, I don't do bandslash or obsessing over pretty boys in makeup, okay?

*stares at pics* Um, I could be lured over to the dark side.

I am woefully ignorant about their music though, sorry. It's not deliberate, I like metal. I did think for a minute that I'd seen an SGA vid set to one of theirs, but then it turned out to be The Chemical Brothers. So.

Can you recommend a couple of songs I should go hunt down to, you know, get a feel for what they're about?

[shrift]

I don't do bandslash myself, but I do often obsess over pretty boys in makeup. I'm just one of those loony fans.

Can you recommend a couple of songs I should go hunt down to, you know, get a feel for what they're about?

It's hard to describe the My Chemical Romance, but they're certainly not easy listening. They're influenced by punk and metal. Can you download from free places like SendSpace? Because I can send you some things to your profile address...

Also, searching YouTube for My Chemical Romance will often bring up their music videos, which are not to be missed.

YOU EVIL ENABLER YOU.

[sarren]

Oh I totally lied about not obsessing about pretty boys in makeup :)

So, I went away to do research. (I am stoopid and did not immediately think of Youtube. I won't make that mistake again).

Turns out I'd heard only a couple of the songs before. But as I have now spent the last couple of days in serious research I have several favourites. So um YES PLEASE, if your generous offer is still open and you have Teenagers, Welcome to the Black Parade, The Sharpest Lives and/or Mama that would be BRILLIANT.

Also, Frank is very pretty.

Pretty boys in makeup are often my raison d'être.

I am stoopid and did not immediately think of Youtube. I won't make that mistake again).

No, dude, I didn't think of YouTube for a long time, either. And then I did, for some reason. And then I found all the videos and interviews. And then I realized, "Oh my god, these guys are SO AWESOME. I LOVE THEM."

If you have a chance to buy their "Life on the Murder Scene" CD/DVD combo, I totally recommend it. Videos, behind-the-scenes of the videos, live performances, AND two hours of footage of them being dorks at the camera.

So um YES PLEASE, if your generous offer is still open and you have Teenagers, Welcome to the Black Parade, The Sharpest Lives and/or Mama that would be BRILLIANT.

It's definitely still open! I'll start sending you stuff when I get home from work this evening.
