F4 Day 6: The Other Half

 

What does your significant other think about your Armi-Admiration?

(LittleSallyBoots calls Richard "Armi" and I'm totally copying her.)

 

My husband will mumble sarcastic little things
here or there, which always cracks me up... so I wondered if other

main squeezes do the same thing?  I asked around and here are a few responses.

 

"Oh him. That's sad, my wife's in love with the Guy on the telly".

~ What Mr. Siouxsie Sioux said after catching his wife swooning over Gizzy. 
(Her excuse of watching "Robin Hood" for the kids didn't pull the wool over his eyes!)

(Not Sioux.)

"Well I'm off to the farmer's market.
I heard Thornton will be there with cotton samples."
~Mr. Trudy likes to sneak the word "Thornton" into any
sentence to get his wife's attention.  And it works every time. :)

 

"I wonder if your mate went in the back of my friend's truck?"

~ Said by Mr. Bathsheba when he heard that his friend's army truck
had been used while filming "Ultimate Force."  She was shocked because
she thought her love of RA was a well-kept secret at the time.

 

"Some women like Chippendale's...
my wife prefers buttoned up men with cravats and top hats."
~Mr. Ramones when he tells his friends about his wife's love of "period porn."

"Sir Gay."

~ What Mr. Squid calls Sir Guy of Gisborne.

(Probably makes him feel macho and less-threatened.)

Mr. Squid & Marian can only wish Gisborne was "batting for the other team."

 

"Oh, I see you have another date with your boyfriend."

~Mr. Nat whenever he walks in on me watching "North & South."

He always calls Richard my boyfriend as sarcastically as possible...
usually with some eye-rolling involved.   He didn't recognize him in "The Hobbit"
until I told him afterwards that Richard had played Thorin.  He was stunned and said,

"Your boyfriend was the dwarf leader?  He was great!"

(Yes, indeed, Mr. Nat.)  That was the first nice thing he has ever said about Armi...

perhaps Richard can win over even the most snarky of husbands when all is said and done?


Some husbands like to play pranks...
like Mr. @Rob, who enjoys hiding his wife's large Thorin cardboard cutout
throughout the house so that it surprises her around a corner or in a closet!
Imagine this popping up out of nowhere:

Get your life-size Thorin HERE!

 

 

Some main squeezes are down right sweet....

 

"I guess we're going to see a lot of your handsome man".

~Said Mr. Rose, when his favorite book "The Hobbit" came to the big screen.

He also asks his wife, "How are the gals on C19 these days?"

Click HERE for the C19 fan forum.

There's Mr. Mulubinba who waited with her forever on the

red carpet in New Zealand for an autograph/photo op with Richard.

(You can read about her experience HERE.)

He also gave her an Armitage Apron.  Who wouldn't want one of these!?

So what about YOU, dearest blog reader?

What does your significant other (or insignificant others)
do or say about Richard Armitage?  Please share!

Is there already a nickname for husbands-of-Armitage-fans?
Maybe we should come up with one... have any suggestions?

20th Poll Results: The Main Man's Mane

Question:

Which hair color looks best on Richard Armitage?

208 votes were cast...

Poll Results
in ascending order:

Black: 131 (62%)

Natural brown: 58 (27%)

He should let it go gray: 19 (9%)

Fake gray:

A hint of gray at the temples and stubble:

I agree with the majority and prefer Richard's black hair.

However, I think it would be interesting to see how he'd look if his hairstylist took
a vacation for a few months.  (In other words, how gray would those temples become?) 
By the way, I think it's totally unfair that men look so distinguished with gray hair,

while women just look older.  A few months ago, I plucked a random white hair from
my auburn locks and nearly freaked out.  :)

On the subject of hair, you all have to watch this hilarious
Gisborne video created by Damaris called "The Rightful Hair"
featured on RAfanvids HERE.  So funny! :)

Elvira Sweeney (the person who runs RAfanvids)
gave me special permission to link to videos on her site.

Dr. Seuss, Armitage Style.

In honor of Dr. Seuss' birthday this week,
we bring you a Nat in the Hat special...

One Rich,

two Rich,

red Rich,

 blue Rich.

Black Rich,

blue Rich,

 old Rich,

 new Rich.

This one has a little star.

This one has a little car.

Say, what a lot of Richards there are!

Some are sad,

and some are glad,

and some are very, very bad.

Why are they sad and glad and bad?

I do not know, go ask your dad!

Some are thin

and none are fat

This one has a funny hat!

Here are some who like to run.

They run for fun in the hot, hot sun.

Why do they run around each other?
I do not know, go ask your mother!

Now you have had a little look
at the Armitage version of a Dr. Seuss book!

Photo Friday ~Rugby Delight

I really like the view of the grass in this picture.
It's just so green and pretty that it deserves some attention.

Wait... there are people playing rugby?
Uh-oh! RA down, RA down! He may need a nurse... any volunteers?

Me likey blue polo shirt...

and snug, white rugby shorts.

WitchyWoman, move over... I'm coming to hang out in the gutter.

Note to self: don't ever let husband read this blog.

This Photo Friday was brought to you by SJ.  Thanks for the treat. :)

If you have a PF request, please email me your picture.

Lots of Lovin'

Richard Armitage wants to be admired for more than his looks.

After all, he is so talented, he can pack a thousand words into the smallest expression or gesture.

So his appearance is just an added bonus for his many adoring (hormonal) fans.

Having said that...

Although his talent isn't skin deep, Richard sure does show a lot of skin in his work!

Are we supposed to ignore all that gorgeousness and focus merely on the artistic merit?

It's impossible.  Impossible, I tell you!!!

"Hanky-Panky Week" continues with a look at more bare-chested moments to add to

the Lucas, Gisborne and "Between the Sheets" pictures that have been featured earlier this week.

Warning:
not for children or those prone to fainting.

Exhibit A:  "Cold Feet"

We've seen this recently, but here's another look at this one.

I wonder how many ladies would fake a drowning with this life guard around to give CPR?

Exhibit B: "Ultimate Force"
I wonder what will happen when Ian McIlwain opens the door dressed only in a towel?

This is what happens.  Suddenly she's shirtless too... how surprising!

Coincidence?  I think not.

After all, RA's characters seem to score quite a bit of action...

Even Monet with his goofy hair has a way with the ladies!

John Mulligan seduced his way into Ellie's arms in "Moving On-Drowning But Not Waving."

Sure he was a con-man and charmed his way into her affections... but it is proving my point.

Naughty, naughty John.

And then there's "Sparkhouse."

Sure, it's a marriage of convenience of sorts (for her anyway) but even

shy, awkward John Standring gets some lovin'.

Aw, look... they even lit some candles to set the mood.

Now just to set the record straight, I'm swear I'm not a sex-crazed lunatic! 

I just wanted to prove a point that while our beloved RA claims to dislike all the hype over

his physical features, he sure does show them off often enough!  Not that anyone's complaining. :)

(And with an upcoming love affair in "Spooks" I'm sure we can assume there will be more.)

Now, let's take a look at what I find to be the

most sexy Richard Armitage scene EVER:

*

I'm giggling just thinking about it...

*

*

*

*

*

Jackpot!!!

How's this for a "Thornton Thursday"?

Ah... so great!

(And observe, he is fully dressed.)

While Richard is undeniably attractive showing off what he was blessed with,

I think we can all agree that there is no skin neccessary for him to make a scene unbelievably hot!

Happy swooning. :)

*Just wait until you see what I have in store for "Photo Friday" on this particular week!!!*
