Jeff, Male Models, Hashbury...

[muck_a_luck]

Baranduin72 [7:25 AM]: I could not believe that Justin Pootinga thing. V. disgruntled.
almostrussell : Why!! Did you want him??
Baranduin72 : Well, only a little disgruntled, if truth be told. Actually more a combination of highly amused and slightly freaked out that out of 50 guys, we picked the same one...
almostrussell : LMAO!!
almostrussell : He is to die for!!
Baranduin72 : I was looking for a good pic of him for Jeff, but I like the Jeff I found well enough.
Baranduin72 : Actually, would rather have someone more "normal" looking, but hesitant to use any of the amateur models' pics, and certainly not going to use pictures of anyone I know.
Baranduin72 : Though have found a pretty good Novie pic. I need to see if it will scan on the good scanner at work.
Baranduin72 : No, we can drool over the Jeff I found. Looks lickable...
almostrussell : He's very drool worthy too
almostrussell : Gnuhhh!
Baranduin72 : Also, that particular pic is sorta in the spirit...
almostrussell : Yeah, it does match with what you've written
Baranduin72 : Possibly too pretty for two tours in 'Nam...
almostrussell : Hmmm, I guess there must have been pretty boys in the army. Maybe one or two?
almostrussell : Just got lucky that one of them was Jeff
almostrussell : What happened to him being a Denzel-a-like, though?
Baranduin72 : See, is it a cop out? Having had the thought, I think it sorta is. But on the other hand, exactly how much am I gonna vest in this? I'm already trying to figure out how to realistically write a vet. How the Hell am I gonna pull off a black man, too? In a way that isn't just stupidly superficial? Without research or a good advisor, it's probably safer to stick closer to things I know. Disaffected middle class white boy...
almostrussell : You would really have to put yourself in his shoes, to look at the prejudices of that time through his eyes, so would be a tough one to pull off. DMCWB sounds good to me!
Baranduin72 : I would love Karlise to write.
almostrussell : Could she be pesuaded?
Baranduin72 : I wonder if now that there is some stuff there to look at, if she could get in the spirit.
Baranduin72 : Do a male character and possibly a Mary Sue.
almostrussell : Would be interesting, and she would be very welcome
Baranduin72 : You got any more stuff waiting around to be posted in the next, say, 10 business days?
Baranduin72 : If you do, I'd prolly like to wait for you before bugging K again.
almostrussell : Yep! I do! While I was in Starbucks the other day, did a load of outline stuff for Hashbury. Would give me the incentive to polish it up, and also do those chats we need to do
Baranduin72 : That would be awesome, so that she could see how that's done, and see if she's interested. Also, could bug Mel again as well.
almostrussell : Yep!! All good!

Baranduin72 [8:02 AM]: Hid the 50 top male models bookmark in my Laurel K. folder.
Baranduin72 : Not that I need to hide bookmarks. But my "Other" folder is overly full. "Other" being code for "you'll have a heart attack right before you turn gay..." [A/N: Uisgich quipped once that she told her SM that if he looked at her websites he would have a heart attack right before he turned gay – what *he* says might happen if he read slash]
almostrussell : LMAO again!!
