Casual Fridays

Jake has his smocks

but  Austin is more of a sporty sweater (set?)* fella

A twitpic of Austin and a fan popped up this week with him in a spring short sleeve cardigan

Funny how Austin always seems so attentive in those with complete strangers yet with others...

 

*Hey Austy - did you get it at the Alfred Dunner shop at Macy's? 

Shawl'n for it

Somewhere in Utah, ok Park City, after numerous sighting, some one captured the Squatch in one of his favorite environments. (Anything to do with film)

It is not known if he was lured with  movie popcorn or "just a hey can I get a picture", but he stopped and stared at the camera.

Something familiar when looking at his coverings.

 Perhaps it is the sweater he seems to have shawl'n for

Who else shawls for it?

 Guess this one button'd  up.

Thanks to PG for finding the Sudance Kid.

Go Tell about the Mountain

Jake is getting his mountain man on.

Popping up in NYC the last two days, Jake has been out dining with friends and family and looking every inch of a globe trekker at the moment

First with Chris

Then with Maggie

With the weather in NYC the last few days and Jake wearing those warm wooly sweaters and that massive amount of thick hair he has Jake will have no problem being ready for shooting Iceland.

But before he goes, it is off Toronto on Sunday for his chat with Denis about Enemy.

We'd say stay warm Jake but you've go that covered.

Sweater up

It's that time of year again when people break out the sweaters and celebrate.

And Austin is doing just that in a Nordic snowflake knit number with some of the Donovan boyz at Showtime's Holiday Party.

But can it even compare to this stunner he wore to one of the OTH holiday parties?

 Total sweater-iffic!

And kudos to the Ray Donovan crew who scored a Writers Guild Award nomination!

 Happy Austin Friday!

OMG Cooking Klatch - If you have some great recipes for main and side dishes come and share.  We will be collecting the recipes and putting them together in a post.

Sweater Set

As it has happened before, it looks like embargoes that had been on some Jake pictures have ended and more have become available to share as the year is nearing the end.

With the seasons changing, how about a sweater to take off the chill? (or maybe cause a few)

Remember the cozy grandpa sweater in 2006?
Now some more to add to that set.

"Where can I get some
reception around here?"

We're walking....

We're walking....

Got it!

Better reception? Easier to chat? Or hungry?

Today is World AIDS Day.

The theme for World AIDS Day 2011 is "Getting to Zero."

After 30 years of the global fight against HIV/AIDS, this year the focus is on achieving 3 targets:

Zero new HIV infections
Zero discrimination
Zero AIDS-related deaths

It is estimated that 33.3 million people have HIV worldwide. Despite advances in HIV treatment and in laws designed to protect those living with HIV; many people do not know the facts about how to protect themselves and others from HIV or about the stigma and discrimination that remain a reality for many people living with HIV. World AIDS Day is an important reminder to individuals and governments that HIV has not gone away – there is still a vital need to raise money, increase awareness, fight prejudice and improve education.

What can you do?

Sweater Set

Today is Sweater Day, commemorating what would have been Mr. Roger's 80th birthday. Fred Rogers came into homes of children from 1968 until the early 1990's everyday, changing into his zip up cardigan (handmade for him by his mother) and his sneakers asking as he did everyday if you would be his neighbor. Mr. Rogers was so beloved that once he had his car stolen in Pittsburgh and when it was publicized what happened, the car reappear with a note that said, "if we knew it was yours, we wouldn't have taken it". Mr. Rogers was so iconic that Eddie Murphy spoofed him on Saturday Night Live in Mr. Robertson's Neighborhood. And even Eddy knew he needed a sweater.

Sweaters, Jumpers, Pullovers, Button ups, Fair Isles.....

Everyone needs a sweater, mom's remind you take one , grandma's used to make some really funky looking ones that you had to wear when she came to visit, grandpa's kept cardigans in business, Bill Cosby took on the 80's in them as Cliff Huxtable, Bridget Jone's found her Mr. Darcy while they both were wearing bad holiday ones, crew necks are de rigueur for prepster wear and Old Navy created a whole campaign around "here take my sweater".


Jake and Austin are no different. Jake loves those grandpa cardigans something fierce and can pull them off. On some days they look like he is wearing a hug when he's in them. Austin goes for the quirky prepster in his blue crew neck, and is the the boho hipster boy with his elbow sticking out from fraying holes. Recently Jake is embracing v-necks and Austin? Austin is being swallowed up by a chunkyDolce & Gabana that looks Cliff Huxtable meets George Clinton, and making it look good.


An ugly sweaters have taken a life of their own, springing up as hot new parties. Totally can imagine Austin getting into it showing up in something so hideous that only Jake would find it hot and even then that's a stretch.

Who needs the bad holiday sweater to find The One, it seems like they both have found his Darcy,without them. Now if Jake just gets Austin to appreciate how incredible cashmere ones feel. Well, maybe it'll just be a review.

The Jake we all love.
Welcome back.
We've missed that smile.
