Apart from the hair colour...there's nothing left to be desired.

I know. But the face is lovely and I'm such a fan of Christopher Tietjens.

That's something Ben and you have in common.

I do wonder why so many directors-producers-whoevers keep doing that to him, pouring the bleach on that beautiful hair. His natural auburn is gorgeous (or what I think is his natural color, anyway-- brown with red highlights), shiny and curly and soft-looking. This just looks all dried out and contrived. I feel the same way about when they made Sherlock too black, as they did in The Blind Banker, for instance-- all that fakey black junk poured on his hair. Were they trying to make him look all weird and mysterious and bat-like? Who can understand the minds of a bunch of male show runners.....

Maybe they are afraid if he looks too good that the screen might explode or too many fangirls would collapse or ...

He is wonderful in that pic and I'm a Christopher fan, too!

Well, with PE it's no wonder as CT is always described as being blonde and pale. Please take a look at the face and forget about the hair colour for once. Maybe you should work as a hair consultant, AG.

Tobe, apparently you did not see my earlier post. You simply must remove the image of Pilot Sherlock from your signature. It is preventing me from getting anything done.

Thank you for your support.

And, veecee, I'm seriously worried about you. Tobe, this is not good. This poor woman has a problem. Bit not good.

Yes, vecee, I read your post, but - where else should I put poor pilot Sherlock? In the fridge? You do NOT want this!

What? Did you say something? I must have been distracted.

SusiGo · October 19, 2012 8:12 pm

This is going to be difficult, communication-wise.

Looks as if he hasn't been at home since yesterday.

I guess you've all seen this, but

Ooh, gossip!

Edit: sorry, we cross posted!

Yes, I just noticed.

SusiGo · October 19, 2012 8:19 pm

What are you thinking? It's just his favorite suit. And shirt. And tie.
