Hopefully it's just me who finds these absolutely harmless pictures so very fantasy-appealing...

besleybean · February 2, 2013 7:43 pm

Huh?

SusiGo · February 2, 2013 7:44 pm

I understand the appeal of no. 2, but what about no. 1?

tobeornot221b · February 2, 2013 7:48 pm

No. 1 is radically opposed to my own very reasonable dressing gown - that's why!

Sherlock's long legs backlit behind the dressing gown-- like a lady who forgot to put on her slip, lol. And John's expression, looking up at him, and the newspaper headline says SUMMO BOY. lololol Love the domesticity, the bromance, etc. I even love that Sherlock is pacing and dressed for bed while John looks so pulled-together and dressed to go out. Hmm.

We dyed in the wool lovers of domestic Johnlock can find what turns on our fire in lots and lots of unlikely spots-- and this one isn't even that unlikely. I have spares of my rose-colored slash glasses, if anyone needs them. But they come with a warning: once you put them on, not only will you not want to take them off again, you might not be able to.

the translucency of the dressing gown really teases my fantasy...even though he´s having trousers underneath

SusiGo · February 2, 2013 7:51 pm

Thank you very much for the explanation. I was too stupid to understand the pic. Now everything's clear and transparent - in every sense of the word.

Mrs.Wenceslas · February 2, 2013 7:58 pm

well, we all have something..

Yuk!

SusiGo · February 2, 2013 8:01 pm

Isn't it funny that they both like to work with riding crops? Although I prefer Sherlock's approach.

Mrs.Wenceslas · February 2, 2013 8:03 pm

I would combine both approaches. the whip in Sherlock´s hand but no corpse....

Sherlock employs the only good use of a whip.

Horses would back your opinion!

Just for the sake of correctness: Sherlock uses a riding crop and Irene a whip. That's not the same, it it?

And to distract from the gruesome subject with something more … aesthetically pleasing:

Strictly not. But thinking about it, Irene's item IS strictly a crop!

Mrs.Wenceslas · February 2, 2013 8:14 pm

scientific research, that´s right!

besleybean · February 2, 2013 8:15 pm

I am certain it is the same one used in PINK and SCANDAL.

Mrs.Wenceslas · February 2, 2013 8:17 pm

but I think that Irene used the riding crop as well then? what a debate again !

besleybean · February 2, 2013 8:19 pm

Yeah.
It's the same thing.
They just CALL it 2 different things!
I mean Irene's Twitter name could just refer to the fact that she whips people...but with a crop...she doesn't crop people!
