The (1.6) Million-Dollar Face: article with link to . . .The Armitage Effect!

This article at www.news.com.au focuses on what lengths were gone to in changing “a beautiful man” (the writer’s words, not mine) into the warrior dwarf we all know and love, Thorin Oakenshield.

It’s a good read, but what I found absolutely irresistible was the discovery (and it took Nadia to point this out to me) that it includes some links.

And one of those three links (referencing RA-related Tumblr pages, websites and blogs) is—to The Armitage Effect!

Yes, my post “The Winner: Richard–By a Nose” was linked in a portion of the article discussing that distinctive proboscis we all know and dearly love.

Now, I know there must be a fair number of RA blogs out there, with the number seemingly growing every day. And a fair number of them likely have posts relating to RA’s regal “hooter.” So I am pleased as punch mine was chosen to represent for blogs (the other links were to the venerable RANet and at Tumblr, “My Fickle and Varied Obsession.”)

So read and enjoy and click on the “blog” link within the story and see that post from last June.

I should be asleep but having too much fun!
