Richard Armitage 30 day challenge
30.) your favorite picture
did I actually complete the challenge? all 30 days without skipping any?
woo-hoo!
I didn’t keep to my original plan of blogging everyday, on top of keeping up with my normal two posts a week that weren’t challenge related, but I did try to fill the challenge posts with actual content, instead of just answering the question;
I think it all worked out.
Now I’ll get back to recounting my fan-path, working on completing that A to Z challenge that kind of fizzled out, and just sharing my random Richard Armitage related thoughts.
so stay tuned…

Congrats! You have all my respect : I could never even start the challenge the deciding process is too arduous for me.

I thought I knew all the answers I was going to give but when it came time for certain questions, I changed my answers. it really made me think about what I like and why 🙂

Congrats! I think 30 day challenges are great. Sometimes a little structure to regular blogging is needed, especially when you open a new post window and have no idea how you’re going to fill it 🙂 Can’t wait to see what’s next!

the 30 day challenge was actually opposite for me 😉 I have a structured outline for this blog and although I don’t know exactly how I’m going to write a post until I sit down to do it, I do know what the subject is going to be. sometimes as I’m typing the actual post, things change & I tweak a few bits, but I’ve written it out on paper before hand. with this challenge though, I didn’t really have the time to do that since I was putting out a post everyday. so often times I would be typing it on the fly. there were a few posts that I scraped completely after typing them all out, with pics and everything! and decided to go a different route; those times were frustrating!

Those are the horrid draft posts that linger and never go anywhere. Then a year later during your blog spring cleaning you wonder what the heck happened there 😉

Really? That’s your favorite picture? You didn’t say why. You don’t have to, of course. 😀 the bottom one is one of my favorites, btw. 😀 And congratulations on finishing the challenge!! 😀

I think I mentioned the picture in the “favorite photo shoot” question, I don’t remember but yes, it is my absolute favorite! 🙂
I like that the background and the t-shirt are blue (I like that layered look too), which really brings out the blue in his eyes (my fav color is blue 😉 ) I also like that he looks trim in this pic without being too buff. I like the pose he’s in, with his arms back and chest out a bit but at an angle, it portrays a kind of quiet confidence to me. The look on his face though is what I really love; it’s a little bit challenging but also inquisitive. the raised eyebrows, the full lips, that lovely bump in his nose…as you can tell, I don’t really mind talking about it at all *laughs*
when I saw the bottom picture for the first time, I automatically thought “there’s my number 2” 😉 you’ll notice that the pose and look on his face are very similar to the first one, though he’s looking off camera instead of at it.

Thank you. Now I understand! Don’t agree, but… 😀 I don’t like the shirt. I see what you mean about the expression on his face. He is looking right at you. I like the second one because he looks more mature. The first one is too young for me. 😀

there are a few shots of his younger self that I really like: the BBC interview Robin Hood/Spooks era is a favorite
as is the white background pic from The Golden Hour time period
but I like the more mature shots too 🙂
I’m just equal opportunity: beard vs clean shaven, young vs. older; I almost always prefer shorter hair but there are even some Robin Hood mullet pics that I like too.
LikeLike
I guess it’s because I’m older than he is. I just prefer the photos of him in his 40’s. I admire his younger self, of course (as I do my younger self, LOL), but to drool over? Give me the more recent ones.

I like that Richard is older than me, but when I look at younger pictures of him that I like, I know that’s not him “now”; doesn’t mean the younger self inside of me can’t still appreciate them 😉 it’s all relative 🙂
speaking of age though, were the women he dated before/rumored to have dated older or younger than him?
LikeLike
I think they were the same age. I’m no expert, but I think he dated women who were in drama school with him? Of course, with Mr. Private Private Life, who knows?? ;D You know, Hugh Jackman’s wife is like 15 years older than him? 😀
LikeLike
I always wondered her age (Hugh’s wife) because she does look a good bit older. that’s exactly why I asked though, because it seems that male actors always end up marrying older women; at least the actors I like 😉 (Ewan McGregor, Christian Bale, James McAvoy, etc.)

Add HJ to that list as well! Not sure of RA:s preferences – male, female, older, younger? – but whatever, I’m hoping he”s happy.
