Nah. It's pretend. You're the one who hated him smoking so much in earlier seasons, right BB?

Correct me. THUD

I love that he's so proud of John over the misdiagnosis!

I know. He grumbles and mumbles about John and what John gets up to or doesn't get up to, but you can see the admiration and caring right there under his rumbles of discontent.

I could have the same concerns. He should not look that pretty considering what state he got himself in. I know this one is in the mind palace and how he sees himself... but yeah.

I´m sure people in RL can take drugs while being dressed up glamorously and remain that way even during "high".
Shortly after Victorian Era, the cocaine was abused mostly among high class society and yes, people were usually nicely dressed up while using.
It´s a cliche that an addict must always wallow in some dark alley and puke just because he had taken something. It´s not a glorification of drug-abuse if you avoid that cliche (and show the awful nightmares pursuing the user in the process).
Also, 7% solution is too weak to do some substantial damage to its user - I´ve read that most cocainists used 40% to 70% solution.

So possibly Sherlock is vindicated.
He is a user, not an addict!

I didn't mean the clothes though... I meant his face. His eyes could have been red, his hair more damp an messy... a lot less dignified... but that's just me...

I did think he looked high in the eyes.

We don't use the word in American English, but he looks knackered. Rode hard and put up wet, as the saying goes.

Has he switched allegiances?
Thought he was a jaguar guy!

ancientsgate · January 5, 2016 12:30 pm

Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz? My friends all drive Porsches; I must make amends.

He owes his allegiance to whomever is paying him for it at the moment. I did have the same thought, however. Whatever kind of expensive car his fine self is sitting in, it's all good, though.

Well, it's not a car ad, they wanted a "Ben looking hot in a car" photoshoot and they probably have a deal with Mercedes. And it's the GQ so cars make sense?! I'd would have prefered a "Ben looking hot in a jacuzzi" photoshoot anyway. But no one from British GQ asked me and half naked men in water is probably not their division.

And now I have a sudden strange feeling I want to be a car in my next life... that car in particular. Rawr!

Just the car seat. Or perhaps the steering wheel, which would probably have the best view.

I presume that's American GQ, since the steering wheel is on the left, but of course not necessarily. Could be Germany? Does anyone know? Hotness, that I DO know.

It says British GQ in the link I posted. The video was posted on instagram by British GQ as well. I don't think the side of the steering wheel mattered for the shooting anyway it's about the person sitting in the car looks pretty good.
