Gareth David-Lloyd: Pie status

[tencrush]

I said I'd get a few conventions out of the way before doing a pie update, so here it is. It is actually just an excuse to post some pictures for great justice and all that. (Picture credits in the titles, peeps.)

Polaris Toronto, a week and a bit ago. Let's start with pressing pie matters:



I can't quite work out what's going on in this one, is that a bulge? Or is that the shirt? Answers on a postcard, please, fabric or tum?? I just can't decide. What I can see is that he hasn't been taking my advice to heart regarding not putting things in his pockets because it draws the eye away from his cock. *squints* Unless that is his cock. In which case I haven't said a word and congratulations, young man.

Onwards!



THAT'S MORE LIKE IT! Two shining examples of how, if they can't quite see it, to keep the audience at least thinking about your cock. Put a wee doggy on it. Make sure the doggy looks happy and pleased to be near it. A stellar plan, well thought through, well executed. Kudos, Gareth.




I was meant to be taling about pie, but, again, I can't quite make my mind up. I think we're still heading in the right direction, but I can't be sure.


On to ComicCon, last Thursday:



Again, there's a strange fabricy thing going on here that I can't quite put my finger on. In this case I'm pretty sure it's fabric. Also, yes, that's John Barrowman's mother. Maybe we could ask her? And, yet again, unless your cock is shaped like a packet of fags, Gareth, I'm thinking that's probably a packet of fags. STOP IT!




This one's a bit clearer on the pie front, and I'm thinking this is definitely a positive development. Also, I note the tan thing has been taken on board, and damn, it does suit him. The pasty Welshness wasn't helping matters in any way. Good job, boy!




Chin status: Good, going well. Designer stubble, still, so it's hard to tell, but again I think we're going places. Good, fine places. Also, maybe I've just put this smiley picture in for no real reason. It's cute. Mmmm.

PIE STATUS AS OF JULY 2008: Still undecided, but the tan is doing it for me. I'm going, hesitantly, with a positive progession.

ETA: From the pictures and video I've been looking at re. pie, I'm getting the distinct impression that in the past few months Gareth has fallen into the trap that so many young men have fallen into before him. He does seem to be going to the gym regularly now, but he seems to be concentrating on building up muscle. He's gone way broader on top than he used to be and he's suddenly way more defined in the chest and shoulders, but he doesn't seem to be getting enough aerobic exercise to get rid of the gut. Hire a personal trainer, boy!


Last note of non-connected noteworthyness, this is griggharris' signed picture:



IT IRKS ME, that NOBODY at the BBC has, in the past year, taken it upon themselves to edit the shadows of the other cast member's coats out of these individual promo shots that they cut out of the group shot. IT'S LAZY AND STUPID AND WOULD ONLY TAKE TEN MINUTES IN PHOTOSHOP FFS! GRRRRRRRRRRRR!

This was kind of moderately amusing the first time you did it but now? Dear god! The man is hardly clinically obese is he?

So any chance of you posting a picture of yourself so that we can assess for scientific purposes the state of your chin, arms, arse, abs etc. Seems only fair.

Hear, hear.

I don't know what all the fuss is about. He's barely changed over the last year. Most of the time people say he's bigger or thinner etc it's just because of the clothes he's wearing or the way he's standing.

Thank God I'm not famous.

Here you go. Assess away.

I have to say that I still find this whole "pie" thing more than a tad repetitive and bizarre. As I said it was vaguely funny the first time you did it but I'm afraid the law of diminishing returns means that it is now somewhat dull. I mean write whatever the hell you want on your own journal but you do cross post this nonsense absolutely everywhere.

I am equally bewildered by the number of responses from women you get each time you do this. Are there no normal looking men where all these people live? Are you living in a sparkly land of wonder populated by male models with washboard stomachs you can bounce pennies off?

I also think if you were posting this kind of thing in relation to Eve Myles or any femle actress you'd have been absolutely crucified long ago for focusing to such a worrying extent on someone's weight.

Having said that kudos for putting your money where your mouth is and posting a photo of yourself.

But of course I wouldn't dream of critiquing it. I don't have any body issues and a, prefectly secure within myself so I don't feel the need to criticise anyone else.

It is getting old, I'm well aware of that. Which is why I said it was a picspam masquesrading as pie report. And I don't crosspost anything anywhere apart from torchwoodcoffee.

And no, nobody lives in that world, I think your sense of humour just differs from mine and that's no biggie. We don't want Gareth all washboardy, we just want an excuse to inspect pictures of him far more than would normally be deemed normal.

Fear not, I will be focussing in future on the far more pressing matter of Gareth Pocketwatch. In which I analyse what he's got in his pockets. Until I pass out.
