It looks like Jake preferred keeping his shirt on, while Austin was rocking the shirt-free look this weekend.
BUT -- OMG was clamoring for a side by side shirtless shot. You asked and we delivered.
Please note: OMG is not responsible of any incidents caused by this picture.
Jake was in SoHo on Saturday and seen talking to critically acclaimed director Noah Baumbach. Boston on Friday? New York on Saturday? Where will he be by Monday?
But The Question of the Day: Could Jake & Austin be the exception to the "no shoes, no shirt" rule?
Jake in New York Saturday, September 15th
I just love the idea of Jake hanging around with Noah Baumbach. :)
ReplyDeleteShirtless Austin in two successive posts: excellent idea! But how about pairing it up with a pic from the Jake - "I wear my bathing suit very low too" collection? Do you think these might be hazardous to our health (self-combustion anybody)?
Well Frenchy do you think OMG could handle it?
ReplyDeleteWell Frenchy do you think OMG could handle it?
ReplyDeleteWell, I guess we're a tough enough bunch aren't we? ;)
I love this picture of Austin, hot and because of the ring sweet at the same time. Regardless of whether it is an old ring of Jake's or a new one, I do think it has a lot of meaning for him. And great song, I've never heard it before.
ReplyDeleteThere's a definite increase in temperature where I'm sat.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing better would be those two together at the same time holding each other. Am I too demanding?
Special K, you're too good.
I don't want to start a flame war or anything but do any of you think that Austin waxes?
ReplyDeleteHaaaaa... they would make cute babies wouldn't they? Maybe I should have added a waiver of liability with my request.
ReplyDeleteI don't want to start a flame war or anything but do any of you think that Austin waxes?
I don't know why trilobyte but I'm under the impression that Austin is naturally less hairy than Jake. Probably because all the blond or blondy-like guys in my family have less hair than the darker ones.
Based on Austin's lack of heavy facial and arm hair, I think he is not a very hairy guy. So it is possible the look is natural, but I wouldn't be suprised if he doesn't have sparse chest hair and waxes it
ReplyDeleteAnd now I think I'm going to have to put down my laptop because it is just getting too hot to handle.
Great photo frenchy, I saw that story on the internet earlier this week.
ReplyDeleteYeah Destiny they look so sweet. I'd been thinking of what I could use as an avatar for some time now. When I saw these two and read their story my heart melted instantly. :)
ReplyDeleteI was reading Perez (yuck, shouldn't go there) and someone on there defending Jake's straightness was saying that he is no longer friends with Austin and that Austin was in Austin.
ReplyDeleteIt amuses me that these people who don't like Austin are forced to follow him up around the internet just so they can prove he's not anywhere near Jake.
^^^ That's WFT resident troll.
ReplyDeleteI could never understand why people who think Jake is straight are so determined to prove that he is no longer friends with Austin. If he's straight, then why would it be an issue?
ReplyDeleteAnyway, back to the ring. There's no doubt in my mind that the ring has something to do with Jake. I found two web articles that were interesting about rings worn on chains:
From wikipedia:
"In the United Kingdom and the United States in past generations, women wore wedding bands much more commonly than men did. Today, both partners often wear wedding rings, though for work-related reasons, personal comfort or safety a spouse may remove it from time to time. Others may object to the idea of precious metals, or dislike the idea of declaring their legal status through jewelry. Either partner may also wear a wedding ring on a chain around the neck, thus conveying the socially equivalent message to wearing it on a finger."
wikipedia article
From "Symbol of Love":
"The English Civil War is one of the most important periods in our history, and it forms the backdrop for the musical, "SYMBOL OF LOVE". It is a powerful story of the love between two young people, Martha Fairchild, the daughter of Lord Fairchild, a wealthy landowner and a loyal servant of King Charles and the Royalist cause, and James Fenton, the son of a village carpenter, who is soon to join the New Model Army and fight against the oppression of the King, and once more bring peace to the land.The story unfolds through the eyes of Lizzie, a frail old woman, nearing the end of her life. Jeremiah Murphy, a larger than life character leads us on a journey of intrigue, deceipt and betrayel, as the lives of the two young people are torn apart by the evil Lord Stirling, and the division created by their opposing backgrounds. At the heart of the story is a gold ring on a chain, the "Symbol of Love". Has it got the power to reunite Martha and James? Only time will tell."
Symbol of Love
Well we know Austin doesn't have an aversion to wearing rings on his fingers which is usually why people put their own rings on a chain.
ReplyDeleteSo if it is Austin's own ring (however he obtained it) then he is wearing it on a chain to somewhat hide it.
Or it is someone else's ring he has which he is wearing for a reason - tribute, show of love, show of gratitude and so on.
I do think Austin's chain he was wearing in the photoshoot contained the blue ring but possibly gave him the idea to hide a ring by wearing it around his neck.
I think it might be a fairly recent acquisition though. He wasn't wearing a chain in the DUI mugshot.
I also think the blue ring had become too noticeable and too linked to Jake/Toothy lore and that is why he stopped wearing it.
Is it just me or does Jake look just a little bit pregnant here?
ReplyDeleteMaybe there isn't a surrogate after all ;)
From the blogger who posted the shirtless Austin pics:
ReplyDelete"The girls from Boston had an up-close and personal with John from Cincinnati yesterday (Austin Nichol)"
You're not holding out on us, are you, Special?
Nope it wasn't me. Damn!
ReplyDeleteI would have told you.
I finally got a blogger account, now I just need to find an avatar.
ReplyDeleteThis ring mystery is driving me crazy. If there has been a switch in rings, it could be part of their keeping things on the down low. On the other hand, a new ring could mean a new level of commitment, especially since this looks more like a wedding band than the blue ring. Or we could be totally on the wrong track on this; I wish we would get some new Jausty photos or some real news from Ted.
I'm with Ag here. I also think the blue ring had become too noticeable as a Jake/Toothy token, which would confirm that these guys actually take heed of what's being said about them on the Net. After all they have plenty of time on their hands and if they're like men of their generation the Net is probably one of their main sources - if not their main source of info (Jake reads his news online religiously every day, use e-mail, etc.) I'm not saying they're glued to their computer on a 24/7 basis but I don't quite believe Jake when he says that he rarely reads what is written about him. ;)
ReplyDeleteCorrection above: use = uses
ReplyDeleteI'm very lazy and I know this info has been posted previously but what role is Austin likely to get in "The Informers"? I think people talked about either the vampire or the rock star but I'm not sure.
BTW I ordered the book and I should get it in two or three-weeks' time. It would have been faster at Amazon but I wanted to support my local bookstore.
Frenchy, it hasn't been said what role Austin will be playing in the Informers. It will be interesting to see what he does play.
ReplyDeleteRock star? Kidnapper?
ReplyDelete"Set in 1980s Los Angeles, the script follows seven stories taking course during a week in the life of a movie executive, his wife, his mistress, a rock star, a vampire and a kidnapper.
Thornton will play the movie exec, and Basinger will portray his wife. Routh has been cast as the vampire, while Olsen is a sexually promiscuous girl."

Rock star or kidnapper, not bad... Thanks who'sthat.
ReplyDeleteWow, how cool to see Jake with Noah Baumbach! Would be amazing if they did a movie together. I hope that is what i
ReplyDelete^^ I hope that is what they are talking about in the pics.
ReplyDeleteOh Man (or Men) - can I stand these pics? Shirtless Jake always does me in anyway, and now shirtless Austin too. I had to laugh when I heard the Right Said Fred song, very fitting! ;)
ReplyDeleteI read the book. Austin is too young for the rock star (who's late 30ish/early 40ish) and I hope he's not playing the kidnapper (because he turns out to be a murderer).
ReplyDeleteI think he will play one of the friends in the LA segment.
Thanks 7:38 for the information about the Informers.
ReplyDeleteA name is so much better than a number. Even if it is for one post, one hour, or even a day. Try one on and see if one fits for you.
Here is a picture of Neil Patrick Harris and his boyfriend/partner David Burtka on the red carpet at tonight's Emmy's.
ReplyDeleteNeil Patrick and David at the Emmy's
LOL, I can just see Jake and Austin dancing around to "I'm Too Sexy" in a very silly way.
ReplyDeleteIt's so wonderful to see NPH and his boyfriend on the red carpet--is this a first? I can't recall seeing other gay couples on the red carpet, just sitting side by side during the ceremonies.
OT, I can't seem to get on through to blogger--this is what happens when you share a conmputer and your settings get changed.
Red carpet - Ian McKellen and his toyboy?
ReplyDeleteI am so happy and proud than NPH and Ian brought their partners to the Emmys. They should be very proud also. I am hoping that we will see a certain couple we love together on the red carpet soon. Maaybe at the Oscars.
ReplyDeleteSpecial K, I wish to complain that this post is indecent. Hang on, maybe it's my response to it that's indecent ;-)
ReplyDeleteI won't hold you responsible for distracting me from work while musing on whether Jake or Austin is hotter semi-naked, and how low jeans can be before it is exposure.
(My final decision is that Austin has the hotter bod by a teeny tiny margin just cos I prefer a more slender build, and at times Jake's arms have been a bit too big for my tastes.)

ReplyDelete'Austin Nichols sighting
He attended this weekend's Austin City Limits music festival. Sighting confirmed by multiple friends who were also there, one of whom said he was, at one point, "shirtless and with his shorts so far down that his pines were showin'." No, Jake wasn't there.'
I'm assuming pines means pubes? Anyone else.
Thanks AG!
ReplyDeleteAnd Convinced -- we can not have distractions like that in the workplace can we? So, there is a new post of Austin fully dressed.
Work Safety is our Priority! : )
9:46, That's not much of a sighting considering we saw the photo of Austin at ACL and we saw how wonderfully low those pants were.
ReplyDelete"I'm assuming pines means pubes? Anyone else."
ReplyDeleteHere's the urban dictionary definition
Maybe these bouts of public sex aren't just Jake's fault...
ReplyDeleteHmm. Not allowed into the urban dictionary, please enlighten me :)
ReplyDeleteFrom the Urban Dict:
ReplyDelete"2. pines
The word penis with vowels places switched
forest speak for wang
something made of wood
fur pines are long hard hairy woods
just take the I and put it where the E goes. Then take the E and put it where the I goes:
pInEs
pEnIs"
My work people are correct, that did distract me :) Thx blue.
