Crowley is a strong and independent demon who needs no angel. Absolutely not. Obviously.

Why weren't these suits ever photographed together? They're marvelous.

As an acespec person without a foot fetish, I never thought I'd care so much about someone else's socks before.

Good lord the brain rot is real

I was just putting a hair appointment for next week into my calendar when

Coincidence? Assuredly. But damn if it didn't make me go

The only question is, how does one observe "Tartan Day"?

Thoughts? Ideas? Fic prompts?

[jelly-of-many-ships]

Don’t forget to celebrate everyone!!

susanwhynow replied to your post “David Tennant and Alex Hassell in a new ad for…”

yes! that suit and jacket look so massive on him. not a good fit at all. really strange. We now that he kills in a well tailored suit. what went wrong here?

@susanwhynow Exactly what I am wondering. And this is what kills me a little, because we know that David is an incredibly attractive man. We know he has modeled many times previously for other fashion lines/served as a muse for Joshua Kane in most recent memory. Yet the JK suits and the ones from Mithridate were impeccably tailored compared to what we are seeing in the Burberry ad:

I do fully understand that the Burberry ad is meant to be a tie-in/promo for Rivals, which is why the suit is something of a more 1980s style (and/or possible reflection of current men's suit trends, which @daziechane has explained to me are now leaning toward "David Byrne bigger, but less boxy"). But we know David looks unbelievably good in pinstripes...and yet nothing about the styling of this outfit is serving him as well as it could be.

While I am by no means an expert in fashion or advertising, what I think it comes down to is that I've always thought it's about making style effortless. That the clothes should look good because of the person wearing them, rather than the other way around. As if you would see David wearing this all the time because it comes so naturally to him. I'd say that Alex accomplishes that here, because his outfit's tailoring is slightly better and looks like his style.

But that is not the case with David, and what happens is that he looks like he is wearing a costume instead of a normal outfit. It actually gives me the same vibes as when he first played Ten and was wearing Nine (Christopher Eccleston)'s outfit:

I'm not entirely sure that's quite what the Burberry people were going for (or the Rivals people, for that matter), but that is how it looks to me. You would think even slightly more thought would have gone into the styling for a clothing ad campaign--and into dressing a man like David, who is almost impossible to make look bad--but...so it goes...
