The Obscene Amount of Pretty Picspam

[caz963]

It occurred to me a while ago that I may just be in the slightest bit of a rut when it comes to my fangirling choices. I tend to go for the “not-conventionally-handsome but hot-as-hell” types, which is nothing to complain about – but I worry about these things, so I thought that, in the interests of clarity, and of making sure that my choices are valid, I should attempt to make a serious study of said not-conventionally-handsome-but-hot-as-hell types.

Just for my own peace of mind, you understand.

Then, on hearing that two of my dearest friends have been having rather a crappy time of it lately, I thought – what better way to help cheer them up than by doing a picspam of obscene amounts of prettiness!

So I made a list, drew an organisational chart with arrows and everything - and drew a venn diagram. Because I’m a geek scientific like that. And – what a surprise! – look what happened. *g*

Dedicated to zinke and hooloovoo_42. kiss_me_cassie egged me on, so if you spontaneously combust, you can blame her, okay?

Without further ado – I bring you David and Brad (in various guises) – two amazingly talented actors who also happen to be able to turn sensible women into puddles of lust.



By the way - the majority of the WW and S60 caps are pretty dark, compared to the DW ones - but then the TWW ones are much older. It's not your eyes or screen, it's just the way they are - sorry.

Let’s start off gently, shall we?

They both have rather crazy hair at times





They have the best puppy-dog eyes in the business





They’re amusing drunks





They both have lovely hands





(let your imaginations run riot, ladies, you know you want to!)

They're both very good at ... er... *melts*





They both have a Donna!





(Is there anyone reading this that doesn’t know that a)David and Catherine are huge fans of TWW and b) When asked what other TV show she’d liked to have been in, Catherine said “West Wing or Studio 60”, to which David commented, “ah, that’s because you wanted to be Bradley Whitford’s girlfriend”?)

They’re both quite… bendy ;-)





They both seem to have a bit of an oral fixation





When it comes to suffering, they can break our hearts and look utterly beautiful while they do it









The "don't fuck with me" faces are pretty hot











They get hostile when hostility is called for





They’re both huggers









They both have a smile that can light up a room





… and dimples to die for





Their smirks have been known to cause fangirl implosion at fifty paces









They both have an utterly irresistible grin





They both look hot in specs







- and cool in shades





… and can induce fangirl death by looking over the top of said glasses





They have a nice line in “come hither” looks (although I have to admit that I think David wins hands down on this one – go here if you need further proof!)









The way they look at "their women" has reduced us to puddles of fangirly goo on many an occasion





They could win trophies for snogging













While in some cases, their fashion sense can leave a lot to be desired –





It’s not really like we’re paying much attention to the clothes, are we?

*stares at the freckles*

At their best though – they can both work a pair of jeans





Not bad for a man in his jim-jams





Or in a tux





And I think, in the interest of completeness, I should include “The Tony Bennett thing” from the end of the evening





They both look really good in a nice suit.





Or, indeed – out of one!





I hope that's given everyone something to... er... think about!

Caps are from various places, including screenmusings, jems, Sonic Biro, The Medusa Cascade and Demon-cry.net and the BBC DW website.

And also enabled by various LJ friends including chloris67, coloneljack, dana_cz, crossmymind and others. If I’ve used something of yours and not credited you, I apologise; let me know, and I’ll fix it.

sensible women

Hey! Who you calling 'sensible'?!? *g*

I find it weird that their hostile faces are so eerily similar.

And now I am off to find a corner in which I can safely melt into a puddle of goo.

[hooloovoo_42]

*iz goo*

Totally!

That's all!

This post has been brought to you from beyond the grave, cos I is ded of teh pretty.

THIS is really something I needed this afternoon. SO MUCH. Thank you!

[snowydragon1776.livejournal.com]

This is awesome. They are both very handsome.

[lurkmuch.livejournal.com]

My goodness, but that's a lot of prettiness! This has certainly brightened my whole day...

Oh wow

Im interested. Is it Josh who is attractive or is it Brad? And I understand it is DT who is attractive but is that why The Doctor is attractive?

I know the point isnt serious discussion, (and i can only do this cos it is the third time I have looked at the pictures) but some of those things are just Josh. Or just The Doctor. Where is the attractive coming from?

I was trying to explain my DT problem to someone who didnt know who he was (they were from another country) and they said they needed to see a picture and i heard myself say "well you might not be able to tell he is attractive just by looking at him" Doh! "i mean...it would be best if you could see him move about." Cos really, he isnt what we conventionally find attractive. A sensible part of my brain acknowledges that. Although I've never found those chiseled leading men types particularly compelling.

So i love Josh,( I love Josh like I loved John Carter from ER) but i dont really care for BW. I mean yeah he is good looking and i was impressed that Danny wasnt Josh in a way some actors dont seem to be able to manage. But i didnt really care about Danny. So what is it that I find attractive?

Where I would watch DT read the phone book out (I saw LA without a map, that was as equally interesting as the phone book would be) i dont love the doctor like i love Josh. I only really cared about Peter Carlise because he looked like David Tennant (and licked his fingers a lot). So what is it I find attractive?

Throughout my devotion to John Carter I never wanted to see Noah Wyle do anything else. I wasn't him I was interested in. As my Grannie would say about men when all you knew about them was that they were good looking "he could gan hyam and the kick the cat hinnie". Why am I interested in David Tennant? Like interested enough to sit through the Quatermass experiment? What is it he brings to the way he animates a character that is compelling to me? Is it just that he is a pretty man? Or does something of his character shine through and is that what is attractive? Is it because he seems like a lovely bloke in the stuff he does as himself?

That is waffly. I have been undoing a tangled ball of yarn for two days and am very tired. My apologies.

This is fun.

In the interests of scientific enquiry i have some questions:
1) Ten is hot in specs, peter carlise is hot in specs, is Chris from learners hot in specs?

2) Would Ten be hot if played, to the same script, by:
a) Martin Clunes?
b) Rupert Penry-Jones?
c) Richard Armitage?
d) Bill Bailey?
e) Daniel Craig?

this is science we owe it to ourselves to contemplate the evidence :o)

Wandered over here from tennant_report and just wanted to say thank you. This is genius.

[sykira]

Woah, you pic spammed comparative Josh and Ten? I think I love you. I can't believe I almost missed this, i am going to friend you, I hope that's okay.

So much insight and genius in this, I especially loved their hostile / storm expressions and puppy dog eyes!

I LOLed at them both having a Donna! It's probably good for DT's ego that you didn't use a cap of BW from XF though, cause yeah, ::HOT:: and very much built!
