an homage to freckles

[salixbabylon]

Some people tan. Some people *start off* with gorgeously dark skin.

Some of us burn and peel and have our gloriously pasty Northern European/Computer Geek skin go all splotchy. After years of loathing my own, here is my homage to the irregular colorations, the dabs of random pigment, THE FRECKLES:






































And no, I did *not* forget Jensen. I just couldn't focus enough to select less than two dozen pictures of his gorgeous freckles. For now, we'll let these guys have their moment.

I love your selections. I am very enamored of Karl and Ewan. I am concerned though with the freckle mole on the center of Ewan's forehead. It seems to get aggravated with the sun. If you saw him in the motorcycle documentary Long Way Round. I think he should have it removed the way that Karl had his removed from his eyebrow area.

These men are absolutely fabulous.

Hehe! Well, Ewan's doctors agreed with you - he had the mole removed, I think last autumn. :)

I'm glad you enjoyed the boys! It was a fun project.

Good I'm glad to hear he had it removed. I haven't seen him in anything in a while. Wasn't he gonna be in something with Hugh Jackman and Michelle Williams that had to do with a sex club that was supposed to come out right about the time that Heath Ledger passed away?

I'm Mrs. Paranoid about freckles/moles because I have had a few basal cell carcinomas removed and have my dermatologist give me the once over twice a year.

He was indeed - "Deception." The movie kind of flopped. I didn't see it, but I think it's on video now.

I'm a little paranoid, myself, with my geek-pale skin (which is why I freaked out about the makeup girls making Jensen get a tan). I'm glad you're taking care of yourself and doing well. :)

I ADORE freckles. Delicious picspam, mmmmm.

[salixbabylon.livejournal.com]

I never really paid them much attention until everyone started going nuts over Jensen's. YUmmy! :)

Freckles can be so sexy!!! *happy sigh*

Thank you for the lovely start to my day, honey! *squishes*

[salixbabylon.livejournal.com]

I hadn't even noticed how nice they were before - what a lovely surprise. Glad you enjoyed! :)

Oh God, YES! - What a magnificent tribute! Here's to less than perfect skin! (Actually makes me want to lick them all!)

[salixbabylon.livejournal.com]

Hehehe! Lick away, darlin'. These guys make spots look sexy. :)

I LOVE the Ewan shoulder/arm/chest freckles!! YAY!! I have stolen all of these!

[salixbabylon.livejournal.com]

Believe it or not, I never really noticed Ewan's body freckles before. Funny how fandom can change your focus. :)

Enjoy!

zooniverse suggested David Tennant, too. I don't have any pics of him, but you might want to add him to your list. :)

[ladykatiewench.livejournal.com]

Thanks!! I'll keep an eye out!

[zooniverse.livejournal.com]

You missed out Tennant, he's ridiculously freckly, bless him.

I reckon he's a closet ginge

[salixbabylon.livejournal.com]

I don't have any pics of him saved... But thanks for the heads-up! :)

Ewan has lots of freckles... *plays connect the dots on his bod*

[salixbabylon.livejournal.com]

I never noticed that he had so many until I started looking! :)

*drools . . . especially Karl*

[salixbabylon.livejournal.com]

I know - he's so hot! I had forgotten. ;)

OMg - see what happens when I don't get to go online for days at a time because of stupid RL?

I miss stuff like this!

*writhes*

Obviously, you got a lot of my favourites here.

*ogles wildly*

Went to see Long Way Down in high def last night and man, it was WEIRD seeing Ewan without the mole, up on the big screen like that. I got used to it pretty fast, though.

Actually, what was weird was seeing Ewan on screen as Ewan. He was hilarious. He's so goofy and adorable. A little cliched at times. Just like a real person;)

[salixbabylon.livejournal.com]

I still haven't seen LWD. Do you have it? Maybe next time I visit, we can watch it together.

A little cliched at times. Just like a real person;)

*snort* So very true. Some of us think we're a little bit funnier than we actually are. ;)

[heartofslash.livejournal.com]

I haven't seen the whole thing. I have the book. It's okay. I watched a lot of the trip online as it happened, so I didn't get the DVD. But the movie did entice me. I'd like to see more. I will probably buy it at some point.

It wasn't so much the thinking we're funnier than we are than thinking we're deeper than we are. And we ALL think that ;)
