Darcy v. Hipsters

Gentle readers, I submit for your consideration a short list of things that hipster fashion has tried to replicate, but that fail miserably to make today’s men as delicious as Darcy.

Skinny Pants

Darcy: Darcy’s thighs are like Christmas hams. Delicious Christmas hams. (Or large, holiday-appropriate kosher meat products of your choosing.) I’ll bet he could scissor a hippo in half with those suckers. And his calves? Don’t get me started. In short, skinny pants only serve to accentuate his manliness.

Hipster: Sticks in a tube. That’s what your legs look like. Knobby little sticks in a tube. Ugh. And why are you wearing them sagged? You look like an old man in long johns.

Popped Collars

Darcy: Behold the way the upright collar frames and enhances the sinews of his masculine neck! Mind you, the only reason his collar works is because it’s designed that way. It’s not like it came folded down and he popped it up in an effort to…what, make himself look bigger so he can scare away other men trying to vie for a woman’s attention?

Hipster: No, seriously. Put your collar down. Trust me, it looks stupid. Put it down, or it’s not the only thing around here that’s going to get popped. I’m not kidding.

Longish, Tousled Hair

Darcy: The tousling makes one want to smooth his curly locks. With one’s fingers. Just run them through a little bit to… hold still, now. There. Um, as long as I’m over here with my hands in your hair, you wanna make out or something? Hey, me too!

Hipster: Let’s talk about that thing you’re doing to your head. It’s an insult to both of us. I can’t determine your gender without seeing you naked, and I’m about 99% sure it’s not worth the effort (see also: skinny pants).

No offense to fashion designers trying to make a buck off of impressionable youth, but you just can't improve upon perfection. Or try to replicate it in a totally different era. The Babes in Pemberly Woods want to know: In what other ways was the Fashion of Darcy superior to comparable "modern" styles?

Maureen Dowd gets it....Obama v. Darcy

Maureen Dowd gets it.

DARCY NIPPLE VIEW!

Colin Firth hasn't given Gwyn Cready a cover blurb yet---but I will. Seducing Mr. Darcy is hot, adorable, and irresistable. Rip it's wet, white shirt off and have your way with it by the pond out front of Pemberly.

Reminds us a bit of Thursday Next's plotline---which we've loved for years. But is still a great read!
Take a peek: see how Flip meets Darcy. Then go out and buy the book!

To Elizabeth it appeared, that had her family made an agreement to expose themselves as much as they could during the evening,

Less a DarcyWar and more a public service announcement: Gentlemen, if you're lucky enough to win Elizabeth's heart and waltz her down the aisle.....don't muck it up!

Enquiring minds want to remind you.

Darcy V. Darth THE MUSICAL!

Mamma Mia

Friends---my most recent ETSY.COM purchase. Front and back. LUZ!
AND
True story folks. The other day I woke up and in the haze between sleep and wakefulness experienced the delicious feeling of being in love. "Hmmm" I thought, " I don't remember falling in love....that's funny." Then I remembered. I saw Mamma Mia the night before and was still basking in the delight.

This blogger's best nightmare is a Firth (complete with wet white shirt) / Brosnan sammich---and readers, she got one in Mamma Mia. AND AND AND, Merryl is amazing. Now, the movie's a train wreck, it's true. The plot is ridiculous---but the movie is like a summer fling. Love it and roll that way.

Darcy V. Obama

Now that Clinton's out of the way the only thing Obama has to worry about is DD (darling Darcy). Darcy's oratory is minimal and veiled. He dreams of doing things, but is too restrained to do them. Obama on the other hand peels off oratory that melts not just the heart of the favoured Bennet girl, but of the entire new world- and parts of Europe. Hell the SF gate's got a man-crush on him so hard they're referring to him as a lightworker

Enlightened, probably. But what lights up my heart like Darcy. Damn near nuttin.

In a talk dirty to me world, Obama's got the goods. But if we want to really rock out with our caucus out we can't overlook the power of the strong silent. So----tall, dark and yummy or strong and slient.

This Obama-girl is tormented by the choice.
Can we decide?
Yes We CAN!


Darcy: I believe you spoke with my aunt last night, and it has taught me to hope as I'd scarcely allowed myself before. If your feelings are still what they were last April, tell me so at once. My affections and wishes have not changed, but one word from you will silence me forever. If, however, your feelings have changed, I will have to tell you: you have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love, I love, I love you. I never wish to be parted from you from this day on.

Obama: We have been told we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics who will only grow louder and more dissonant in the weeks to come. We've been asked to pause for a reality check. We've been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope. But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope.
