I thought we were using "Because he's our favorite music meister" or whatever that was.

He looks fabulous in a jeans and a t-shirt too, but I would rather see him in a suit ALL THE TIME.

New thread?! I didn't even know!

And I agree about suits. My friend and I discussed how between Barney and Chuck Bass we just want a man in a suit and won't settle for anything else.

Except Chuck's suits are a little out there. Orange, mint green, purple... very interesting colors, he has.

True but he still rocks them.

I LOVE Barney's really dark suit he wears later on in The Fight - when Robin asks him out. He is SO hot in that suit and with his black eye. Like, immensely hot.

The black eye was hot on its own, honestly. But the suit definitely added.

Any man that has a fight wound is the hottest thing ever to me.

Hey guys. So I thought I'd post this in the OT thread but thought it might be relevant here, sort of. But my friend from school flew to LA to see Neil in The Importance of Being Ernest and I didn't have the heart to tell her her wasn't going to be in it because I'm a coward. But she sent me a text today that read:

Quote:
So NPH wasn't in the play I saw...but his replacement was JAMES MARSTERS.

I'd read about that on a fanfic writer's journal. I honestly don't know who'd I prefer to see in a play. Because I adore both of them.

Though I'm sure it would have been amazing with Neil. Air, you must ask your friend for ALL of the details and give them to us.
