Bit early in the day, isn't it? But use every opportunity to post a nice picture, don't we? So now it's bed appreciation time following hard upon coat celebration.

It's dark, I'm tired... so why early?
But of course you are right: ANY lovely pic of Ben will do - at ANY time.

SusiGo · December 4, 2012 4:20 pm

Let me see what I've got for you. Lovely enough?

Mattlocked · December 4, 2012 4:25 pm

Thank you Susi; I just can't look at this any longer

SusiGo · December 4, 2012 4:27 pm

Just imagine you sitting where Louise is sitting … the clothes … and fumbling again with his hair … *swoon*

Finally returning from work, I always mistakenly believe that relaxation will begin the moment I shut the door behind me.
Not at all! I would have to work through this picture thread subsequently, catching up on everything I've missed over the day.
Girls, you've been so delightfully busy!
Here's just one little cap from Scandal I like very much - despite the WHITE shirt...

SusiGo · December 4, 2012 5:15 pm

Aw, nice. You mean the white-straining-buttons-to-the-limit shirt?

Just so.
Why can't anybody get this guy a shirt that really fits him?

SusiGo · December 4, 2012 5:50 pm

It's just transport. His massive intellect can't be bothered with it.

Oh God yes! These black and white or monochromatic Sherlock pics just put me right over the edge! This one is a Keeper!

Give me any good reason, why anyone should!?

1. For reasons relating to road safety.
Road users - mainly of the female sex - may risk being distracted and causing an accident when seeing him in public wearing a shirt with buttons that are crying for help.

2. For reasons relating to public health. Again, the female sex group is the one at most risk: Injuries from thudding, respiratory distress, profuse perspiration.

3. For economic reasons. Extremely tight-fitting shirts reduce the profits of the textile industry and hence threaten the survival of jobs.

SusiGo · December 4, 2012 7:43 pm

Good heavens, Tobe, that was thorough. Nevertheless I'd like to say that I really, really like these shirts. On him. Just like that.

I guess by now we all have equipped us with the necessary tools (mattress, medication, first aid kit).

No b/w, no tight shirt, but I love these (forgive me, Besleybean, it's just a film )

I don't know why you guys keep reiterating that it's only females in danger. Yowsa, anyone who looked like this would have to carry a big stick to ward off the attentions of either gender, IMO. This is a menace to the general public!

tobeornot221b · December 4, 2012 8:42 pm

Not only females in danger, AG, but all the guys I've been talking to till date usually don't find Benedict attractive.
It's jealousy, of course.

Tantalus · December 4, 2012 9:10 pm

Speaking as a man, I would say this:

1) You can do a lot with make-up. I've seen some pictures of him that were not at all flattering, just as I'm sure we've all fallen victim to ourselves in these days of ever-present cameras and such.

2) He has a warm, inviting face, the kind that would likely cause you to seek him out for help if called upon to seek aid from a complete stranger. But, I wouldn't call him handsome. 'Course, I don't typically go around calling guys handsome, anyway...

I don't know that it's jealousy-- after all, we all like what we like, and if we don't like it, well then we don't like it, and no one can talk us into it. That's okay; that's what makes the world go 'round. Frankly, I don't know many women who find Ben attractive, either. *shrug* I have a couple of friends who are ga-ga about him, as I am, and a couple more who think....well, I won't tell you what they think, but...needless to say, we don't watch Sherlock together!! Poor things. They need their glasses changed.

No, not handsome. I agree. But attractive, IMO. Part of what makes him attractive to me is the coloring combo the universe gave him-- dark hair, pale eyes, always has been my fave. His face (cheekbones, lips, eyes) and lean, tall body combo works for me as well. But I guess what really makes him shine in my eyes is his inner beauty (and how trite does that sound?) I'm a sucker for smart, funny and talented, and he's all three.

tobeornot221b · December 4, 2012 9:22 pm

He's simply a category of his own.
