Yay for Raúl! Saw him in CCBB and Loved him. I've heard him in other things and I find him to be incredibly talented.

*shows the Raul love from Pittsburgh*

Someone I know bashed Taboo today!

Emcee, I know what you mean about the weird statement about his marriage. The sentence was just so awkwardly worded that I cringed when I read it.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 8/22/05 at 5:51pm

It just... it's weird. Yes, that's a gay magazine but... I mean... I... huh. It's kind of like "he's married, but *shady whisper* we don't really believe he's tellin' the truth!" *headdesk* It was nice of them to call him honorary on account of his activism and knowledge, though. I once heard him tell a friend of mine that The Normal Heart was the most important thing he's ever done in his life; and he meant it with everything that he was, too.

Beat them senseless, Lari. Just beat them.

YAY! Raul love.
That's a really interesting article.

Aaaaaaaauuuuuuurrrrgggggggggghhhhhhhhh! I feel like kicking myself, because yesterday I ordered 5 cds from B&N, but I somehow forgot the one I wanted the MOST: Tick...Tick...BOOM! I don't know how I did that. *sniff*
They better come soon! I need my Raul fix. I'm excited about hearing Taboo.
<----My sister thinks he looks like Elvis.

Shame on you!! *pat pat* Taboo is fabulous, though.

Funny. My mother thinks the ShowPeople picture makes him look like Elvis. I showed it to her, all excited and she was just like "erm, is he TRYING to look like Elvis? He's so cute, what happened?!"

My sister agrees with your mother, except she thinks Raul is ugly. Oh wait, she's correcting me: "I don't think he's ugly, I just don't think he's that attractive." Okay, whatever.
Oh! This is the wrong thread, but today she just came up to me and said, out of the blue, "Adam looks so cute in a tux." I was like, "I LOVE you!" She makes me smile.

I WILL get TTB as soon as possible, though. I just don't know if I can handle spending any more money.

Whoever mentioned Raul's eyebrows: it's so wierd, isn't it? They're like, blond.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 8/22/05 at 7:47pm

Yeah. It sort of depends on the picture, I guess. That new one I have - they look really light. Whatever, he's gorgeous.

I think Adam looks all wrong in a tux. All wrong. Raul looks like a cute little penguin, though! Adam just looks... confined.

[ElphieDefiesGravity]

Posted: 8/22/05 at 7:56pm

Definitely gorgeous. *sigh*

This is the picture she was talking about:

Idina's arm looks really fat.

Sorry for the threadjacking.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 8/22/05 at 7:58pm

haha. Well, they sure as hell aren't anymore! She was a little chubbier back then, anyway. And Adam *does* look cute.

*envys Idina's arms now*



*and Adam's teeth*


AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH It's the sleeping picture!! I get what you were talking about now!!

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 8/22/05 at 8:06pm

He looks like he... nah, I can't say it.

Posted: 8/22/05 at 8:18pm

^^^*squee!* Did I just squee? I've never done that before. I do love a man with head gear.

He does look like...well, I think I know what you're talking about and I agree.

Oh!Oh! Can you post the one where he looks like a rag doll?!

Off to go swimming! I'll be back later.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 8/22/05 at 8:20pm

Ragdoll Raul, por vous!

[Atrias]

Posted: 8/22/05 at 8:26pm

I am I the only one who thinks his sex appeal improves when he's acting the role of the loving father? It might be a mental problem I have.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 8/22/05 at 8:28pm

I think it's adorable... though I don't know that he's any sexier when he plays a father than he is when he plays a drag queen; it's just a different sort of attraction. I think I'm so attracted to him as Caractacus because of the sweetness of the character, and how innocently and non-ironic he's playing the character. And I won't say that I don't find a man who can dance his butt off really, really sexy.

[Atrias]

Posted: 8/22/05 at 8:35pm

I wonder if Raul will ever have kids...or if he has some I don't know about. Does he? He just seems like he would make such a good dad.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 8/22/05 at 8:43pm

He does not. I think he'd make a wonderful father, though. There's some Chitty interview where he says before this, he didn't even know he liked them!

[insomniak]

Posted: 8/22/05 at 8:45pm

You really do have to be with kids to learn that they're not so bad.

He's cute in Chitty. Very huggable-looking.

[ElphieDefiesGravity]

Posted: 8/22/05 at 9:34pm

I. LOVE. THAT. PICTURE.
I'm sitting here grinning like some sort of idiot. It's just so funny and endearing and adorable and cute.

Speaking of his dancing...I have two favorite "Me Ol' Bamboo" parts: his butt wiggle, and near the end, when Raul is facing out toward the audience and his eyes are sort of really smoldering and intense. Wow. It's just...wow. Intense....yeah.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 8/22/05 at 9:41pm

Seven viewings later, I still can't stop giggling when he comes out in that outfit. There's so much wrong with that picture.

I love the look on his face during that part, Elphie. He can act circles around a lot of people with his eyes alone. They're beautiful - and just pierce right through you. You can tell how responsive he is to his audience, just by watching his eyes.

[ElphieDefiesGravity]

Posted: 8/22/05 at 9:50pm

Ha, I don't giggle during that part. I just sit there and...you guessed it, grin. And bounce. Something about Chitty/Raul makes me bounce. Well, obviously the music has to do with that, but still, it's wierd.
I love the colors in that outfit. It's like he fell into a crayola box or something. And the hair...*snorfle* ahem. Well, let's just say, he makes a lovely strawberry blonde.
