A Double Breasted Beauty ;)

I have been a Magpie!

I have taken this fine photo collage from my friends on Facebook! In the run up to Richard's press tour, I was really hoping to see him wearing this particular cut of jacket. It had been mentioned this cut might not be a good one on him as it would accentuate his "behind", but I cant say I have seen any pictures to prove this... besides I don't think that would be such a bad thing if true!

Richard is not slight and lanky, he has a broad frame. For me, double-breasted jackets perfectly accentuate his "V" shape, nipping in at the waist, which I love, because men have them too! They are also incredibly suave and stylish. I particularly love the fit of the Grey suit from The Crucible Premiere - his frame his really shown off beautifully, the way it's streamlined at the waist. I also loved Ilaria's choice of Jacket for the LA Premiere; it was a nice surprise! A traditional print in some really sumptuous colours perfect for Richards complexion. The suit from the DA MAN shoot on the right has a gorgeous and cheeky iridescent shine to it, to match the cheeky look on his face and his piercing blue eyes - they really Ping (I'm not sure if Ilaria styled this shoot but I still thought it a great example of RA in this cut of jacket!

I really hope to see Richard wearing more double breasted numbers, with these splashes of colour, in the future... He looks amazing, Ilaria; more please! :)

A Blogger Reborn! Part 2 - Moving to Wordpress!

Hello all! 

I've loved my time on Blogger but with my new perpective on blogging came a new desire to develop and grow. So I have set up on Wordpress - I will still publish on both sites and depending how it goes, I will move to there permanently...

Please if you are a user of Wordpress do come and find me, and follow me if you like what you see :) 

Thanks! Hope you like the new site! Please follow the link in pink below :) ...

See you there....

An RA Blogger Reborn...

I'm sorry Bloggersphere! I have been away for a while! 

The truth is, I've had plenty of chances to Blog about The Armitage, but after I wrote that post about my experiences of the fandom, I felt a sudden lull in need to express myself. like I'd vented something I needed to vent. In fact, there was plenty I wanted to say, but I was concerned there was a "right" way to say it that I was missing. I have recently realised this really isn't the case. In fact, the more I worry about "how" to say it all, the less it wants to flow from me.

I was feeling this self imposed pressure that every post had to be a well structured eloquent essay, when, frankly, of late I have just wanted to rant the hell out of Richard and his work and how he makes me feel. And I'm realising that this approach is also okay. I really need to loosen up a bit! I guess its a case of me finding my blogging balance too, which takes time, I'm sure.

So yeah, I'm back. And I might be a bit more..."rant"-y then I was before, but then there will equally be times when what I need to say can only be expressed in a methodically written argument. I'm sure even my rants have a structure. And so I begin to rant now... hehehe... 

I guess the question I asked myself was; What do I want my RA blogging to be for me? Do I want it to make me feel restricted because I feel obliged to express things in a coherent well researched argument about every little thing...Or do I want it to be a place where I can come and vent the hell out of my feelings on days when I am feeling fed up with him or annoyed at him (which have happened a lot lately). I think part of me was afraid to address and voice those feelings. 

Well, not anymore. Why should I impose pressure on myself not to express them? That's just silly and unproductive and makes things worse. That's the joy of blogging; you can say what you need to say, and this process is what helps you process and move on from things. My blog can be both things; a place to rant and a place to express well thought out arguments. As long as I am not being inappropriately offensive, or encouraging illegal activity, then really there is no problem here. Get over it, Antigone....

So, prepare yourselves for an onslaught of built up Armitage passion and also rage. I'm letting open the RA Blogging flood gates, baby, fancy coming along for the ride? ;)....
