Imagine, if you will, waking up next to this each morning. The drowsy blue eyes, slightly disheveled hair, and yes, the stubble. Sharing a morning cup of coffee. Perhaps deciding to have breakfast in bed. . . . (photos courtesy of RANet)

the armitage effect 
hands down by absolute fav RA pics 🙂 I love him in that blue Spooks light. Stunning!
He has a sort of otherworldly beauty, an angel fallen to earth, in that lighting. Very sexy. I also love scenes where he has to fain sleep. He’s so good at it.
Oh yes, he looks so angelic when he’s pretending to be asleep. 🙂 I love the drowsy eyes picture! And the first photo, absolutely breathtaking!
I cropped something out of that top pic. Or should I say “someone.” 😀 It looked so much better without said someone.
I bet it looks much better without the fake blonde! 🙂
Well, I certainly thought so. Full focus on the gorgeous stubbled one. 😉
Seriously, I just didn’t get the way Freezer Queen was styled for her role. Those very obvious dark roots, the unflattering makeup . . .
Yeah I mean the budget was of course limited, but surely they should have been able to afford a bottle of hairdye to touch up those roots? Grrrr…
Yes, a Caulfield-free zone I like, especially for the lack of sound.
Yes, with Sarah Caulfield it’s see no evil, hear no evil as far as I am concerned.;)
What insane woman would actually sleep with him by her side 😉 I think you could just lay there staring.at him. Maybe that’s why he’s still single- women turn into babbling idiots around him and he feels stalked by them staring 😉
@IWantToBeAPinUp That’s so funny I just said almost the exact same thing in a comment to the previous post! Great minds do think alike right??? 🙂
Indeed they do 😉
Maybe he’s too beautiful for his own good then? 😉
Yes, on the “Field of Dreams theory”, make up the bed with blue sheets, put a bottle of Stoly in the freezer, and wait. I’ll no doubt wait until the end of time, but anticipation is a lovely thing, in and of itself.
Weird query, because I’m now in neutral shifting between English and castiliano: isn’t it “I would fain go Richarding…” meaning “prefer or want to” and “he feigns sleep” meaning “to pretend to”? Please forgive the “duh” moment.
Yeah, it should be “feign,” not “fain.” Sorry, I have been up all night again.
‘s okay. I’m still jet lagged, and my mind seizes on little things …
I know about jet lag. No worries.
Perhaps does he snore ? But having a such intoxicating voice, I am sure his snoring is like a black panther purring !
My husband snores. However, I would much prefer having him here, snores and all, than I would to have no snores–and no Benny.
I don’t care if he snores like a chainsaw. I still want to be right there. (If that were the case, I’d make a recording and talk him into getting checked for apnea before anything untoward happened.)
I suspect both Benny and I have sleep apnea. He says it sounds like I almost stop breathing at time and I tell him the same. That concerns me more than the snoring.
It should. Normally, apnea causes your mind to generate a truly horrible dream image so you wake up to scream and breathe. That’s not good, but it’s dangerous when that doesn’t happen. There are treatments, sometimes as simple as a dental splint that changes the position of the jaw or sleeping in a T-shirt with a tennis ball sewn into a pocket in the middle of the back, and other times as complicated as a machine that helps regulate respiratory rhythm. Not sexy, but at least in my world, you have to be alive and conscious to enjoy sex.
Benny says just recently he’s been waking himself up with the snoring sometimes. Of course, he is also battling that cold. And I have woken up before gasping for air.
I have written articles on sleep apnea and its treatment through the CPAP machine. I just didn’t think I could stand having that Darth Vader mask over my face all night. However, it would be being dead. 😉 And I think some of the newer CPAP equipment is less bulky and claustrophobia-inducing.
I’m in the middle of translating a report about electrocoagulation so is it any wonder I keep coming back to this page all the time? 🙂
OK, not bragging or anything, but under the circumstances, Judit, I can see why this blog would be so tempting. 😉
Yes, I’ve managed to get about 3 sentences done in 3 hours…And I’m not happy with them either. 😦
Hey Angie, your blog is pretty darn tempting anyway with or without electrocoagulation! 🙂
😀 How kind of you to say so.
Electrocoagulation sounds like something that’s happening to my heart when I look at these pics. 🙂
🙂 Mezz, thanks for the good laugh!
I would not “sleep” or “stare”. I would be a little bit more proactive next to him. Those pictures are really, really beautiful.
Glad you enjoyed the photos. I like the idea of being more proactive. He really is like a sexy angel at times. *sigh*
But the poor man would need his rest 😉 It is no doubt tirening driving all of us crazy!
Gracie, you have the right idea!
Being proactive is a lovely thought, but if his alarm clock goes off at five and there’s a driver out front waiting for him by five-thirty to get to the set by six, just how early would being proactive be welcomed? (And you miss the statistical testosterone peak for both males and females that occurs at about 7:00 a.m., worse luck.) But on a day when he wasn’t working…
Good point, Leigh. I would think le weekend would be ideal–a lazy day in bed? 😉
I don’t think it would be a lazy day in bed at all! Quite the opposite! 😉
@Leigh, do women have a testosterone peak in the morning too? Whatever hormone it is I don’t think mine peaks at 7.00 am, that’s for dead sure. 🙂
Note that I said “statistical”. Approximately one-third of humans are not naturally diurnal, and some portion of those will have their testosterone peaks at other times. Yes, both men and women have those peaks, although they may be less noticeable if you’re sound asleep or under stress. The neurophysiology supports reproductive success. Because humans don’t have oestrus (go into heat), it’s important for both men and women to be interested in doing it at the same time and often. This is sometimes cited as a “reason” for female orgasm; it keeps women wanting to do it again.
THanks for this very interesting info, Leigh!:) Are you a doctor?
Not a medical doctor, but my degree combines a lot of psychology and neurophysiology with engineering. Weird, I know, but I busted my behind to get that degree, including doing research. I’m retired now, but if I spot an interesting paper, I’ll read it.
On a side note, it was believed in medieval times a woman could not conceive a child without having an orgasm during the act. So husbands who wanted children had to make sure their wives were properly pleasured.
But weren’t people “sanctioned” by the Church to have sex for strictly procreation purposes only?
The viewpoint on sex by the Church varied somewhat over the years. I’ve done some reading up on the subject. In medieval times, it was acceptable with the church for men to go to prostitutes and otherwise seek sexual release outside of marriage; this was not the case for women. Well, the old double standard. Medical science of the day, such as it was, believed conception could not occur unless the woman had an orgasm. So men were taught to be attentive to that particular need with their wives. Of course, by Victorian times, proper ladies did not enjoy the act; they were supposed to lie back and think of England. That didn’t keep the upper classes from bed hopping on weekends at country houses and fathering/giving birth to children with someone other than their spouse. It all had to be done discretely, naturally.
OMG What a post to wake up to. Love, love, love the pics and the comments! 🙂 He’s so beautiful when he’s “sleeping”; those long lashes, the softness of and hint of vulnerability about his mouth. *sigh*
Maybe you should have added morning stubble to your list of choices in the hirsuteness post angie.
Ah…I really like the shape of his upper lip..*sigh*..Oh God! I need to clean up the computer screen,..again.;)
It’s beatiful, isn’t it? Angie calls it “cupid’s bow” and I think it’s very apt. 🙂
What has always made me laugh is how Richard’s lovely upper lip mimics the shape of Bobbin’s beloved bow. I much prefer Richard’s Cupid’s bow to Forest Boy’s. 😉
I love the delicate quaity of his lips, the way they turn up slightly at the corners; when he expells a breath with his mouth open, they seem to become fuller. And I love it when he puckers them up while drinking or eating. Heck, I just love ’em, period.
Need I tell you I second your thoughts?
Nope. 😉
