Love x 10

Happy Valentine's Day

What better way to celebrate Valentine's Day that a picture of our favorite pair in the picture that kicked it all off.  

It was February 11th  that Jake and Austin were the happy pair courtside at the Lakers.  Hard to believe it's been 10 years.   Yes 10 years!

 Big Blue, grey overcoats, buttons torn off,  a zipper down and that smile! and the lean  all things to love.

 And much love for Austin and big rubba' boots.

 Fella's update:  Jake has been bouncing back and for between Boston and New York as he gets ready to produce and star in the movie Stronger,  about the Boston Marathon bombing.  Filming starts in Boston in April. 

 Austin is back on The Walking Dead and is back on TV tonight.  Fans are hoping the TV version of Spencer does not meet the same fate as his graphic novel counterpart.  It's a wait and season for this season of TWD. 

 

Ode to an Overcoat

 Ohhh grey coat where have you gone?

You  came on the scene and captured our attention (or was it who was wearing)

Classic at first sight

But upon closer inspection finding the quirkiness like your owner

Your too short sleeves

Trying to pass ragged and hemless

Warm and cozy

Thought perfect for every occasion

Popping back up

Where did you come from?

Where did you go?

Fifty Shades....

of Grey....

...Goose

So Jamie Dornan is the leading name for the replacement for Christian Grey in the movie version of the talked about book.

You know he kind of looks like somebody...

 

Who starred with Kirsten

Who's got the Grey thing down

And this too.

 Just sayin'

Button up

Is it a statement maker or a fashion maker?

Dostoevsky said "We all come out from Gogol's 'Overcoat'.", referring to the Nikolai Gogol's famous short story, The Overcoat.

Is Austin making an homage to the story and the film adaptation of Gogol.

Gogol's story takes readers through the mundane and alienating world of a bureaucratic office in St. Petersburg Russia where an awkward, impoverished clerk must scrimp and save in order to afford a badly needed new winter coat. As the story progresses, you enter a fairy-tale world of supernatural revenge, where the clerk's corpse is seen wandering city streets ripping coats off the backs of passersby. Gogol's story is both comic and horrific—at once a scathing social satire, moralistic fable, and psychological study.

Is the raggedy sleeves symbolic of the struggle of the working class or just sleeves too short?

Then again it maybe a fashion statement - because who needs an overcoat in California?

But of course he might have been giving a hint about a personal connection with a movie and overcoats...
