Nice!

[heron61]

That's both an awesome looking outfit and an excellent picture of you.

[thawrecka]

Excellent look.

[selkie]

....Oh goddamn though.

*runs away*

[muccamukk]

Oh man, I'd play harpsichord with you any day.

[minoanmiss]

OMG you look so HANDSOME

[sovay]

Nice!

Thank you!

[sovay]

Nightwing made the shirt, the waistcoast came from coraline, and spatch took the picture. Thank you!

[sovay]

Excellent look.

Thank you! Someday I may even learn to tie a cravat properly and not be wearing jeans.

[sovay]

*runs away*

YOU BROUGHT THIS ON YOURSELF.

[sovay]

Oh man, I'd play harpsichord with you any day.

You may have just won the comments.

Thank you!

Thank you! My relationship with my self-image is complicated (whose isn't: much of it i my case is my body and chronic illness) and I am doing my best to get it to take a hint.

[mrissa]

yes good

[selkie]

While I accept that it is my fate to be reduced to “*squeaky noise*” in this circumstance, I must also point out you could’ve just stood there in those excellent clothes and instead you went for it down to the mantel-propping and I have actually died.

Also, perfect caption.

[sartorias]

AWESOME shirt and you wear it and the weskit with such an air!

[davidgillon]

You look gorgeous! (My actual reaction, aloud, was "Oh my god!")

[selkie]

*comments again juuuuuust to point upward at all them other folks with, you know, sight*

Child: "Oh, no! Oh my God! Her hair, she cut her hair!"
Parent: "No, nononono, nope..."

[dhampyresa]

You look quite dashing!

I am paying attention to the statistics.

Child: "Oh, no! Oh my God! Her hair, she cut her hair!"
Parent: "No, nononono, nope..."

The value of braids from different angles! I'll have it down tonight.

[sovay]

Thank you!

Aw! Thank you.

Thank you! It's the best one I own.

"PUSH THE BUTTON, MAX!"

Hee. It's from a Tweet I adore. I don't find "Fire Up the Harpsichord, Bartholomew" a less plausible name for a tune than "Smash the Windows," "Haste to the Wedding, or "Cuckolds All Awry."

[sovay]

Such a lovely pic!

Thank you! (And for the harpsichord, too!)

[sovay]

yes good

Thank you.

It just makes me happy.

[nineweaving]

O thou swell!

Nine

[sovay]

O thou swell!

Thankee!

[thisbluespirit]

Aw, that is an excellent pos and an excellent waistcoat and shirt! ♥

[sovay]

Aw, that is an excellent pos and an excellent waistcoat and shirt!

Thank you!

It has become very clear that I need to expand my waistcoat collection.

[ashlyme]

The shirt! The waistcoat! The pose! Can I have a t-shirt with FIRE UP THE HARPSICHORD, BARTHOLOMEW? I promise it'll be printed in the fanciest of scripts!

[selkie]

Isn’t it rather dazzling for a concept photo? Rakish, even.
*wanders off to print glittery t-shirts*

[asakiyume]

Absolutely stunning. That shirt is marvelous, and you can definitely wear this outfit!

It deserves nothing less!

*hugs*

Thank you! I love the shirt so much.

If the background were a bit less less obviously twenty-first-century living room, I'd say you could share it as a teaser!

(You work with the mantelpiece you have, not with the tumbledown manor house you wish you had . . .)

[selkie]

No one wanted that manor house. Some people just have friends willing to throw a couple thousand pounds at its continued not sinking into the swamp.

...don't lean on the mantel maybe though.

[ashlyme]

*hugs* Is your waistcoat grey or green, or somewhere between the two? I can't tell with this screen.

[ashlyme]

Also every time you post a photo (Regency dandy, cord-clad boffin, swirling coat detective) I just want to write fanfiction for your Doctor. *deep blush*

It's sort of pewter-colored; there's actually a sheen on the material that is not really visible in this photo. I plan to get better ones by sunlight sometime.

[ashlyme]

*hugs* Just had to say that.

[ashlyme]

Ahh! I couldn't even see that pattern properly until I saw the picture on my computer, and it looks like a dark sagey-green here. This screen needs a wipedown.

(Pewter as an Element?)

I should think so! An ancient and versatile metal.
