Wherever He Is - Happy Birthday to Austin Nichols

 

Aaaah yes, it's April 24 and the birthday of one of Narnia's faves, Mr. Austin Nichols.  Methodical Muser nor myself expected anything less than the usual social media shenanigans such as a now-once-in-a-blue-moon alleged random sighting of his real-life husband Jake Gyllenhaal.  In New York City, no less.  LOL!  

The *yawn* sudden glut of "Gyllenholland" with actor Tom Holland being oh-so-willing to participate in a new pandering interview.  And other assorted stand-in bromances.  

Let's face it, after 13 years of following these two men and their birthdays, these annual practices are long overdue to go into a time capsule.  Whatever, Mara.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And even though Austin pokes his head out of the gopher hole once in awhile, he's been disguised by a series of deards, photo manipulations,  herky-jerky Tik Toks and videos, and repetitive placement on his bro-in-law's Instagram.  So, what we see is usually not reflective of who or where Austin really is any longer.

And while that probably paints a dismissive picture for long-time followers, the fact that this contrivance still comes around with every special observance, it tells us that Jake and Austin are still somewhere together with their own school busload of offspring. 

So, Happy Birthday, Austin.  We know and we still remember and so therefore, we still stan. 😍

Incoming!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

No. 12 - little did he know what lay ahead!

 

Austin, cut that cake!

LOLLLL!!  Kills me every time I see it.

Yep, this is Jake's old man.

Happy Birthday, Austin.

Sunday Musings: Pop-Ups, Pop-Ups Everywhere!

Louis Tomlinson to his ginormous fandom of Louies after revealing he was indeed alive and well.

 

 

 

Social media would seem to indicate the answer would be a big bellowing yes!  lol.  Louis popped up in Tulum, Mexico.  Seems Louis didn't mind being spotted as this kind of visibility in an airport seems fairly controlled,

 Louis was looking like a prince in travel leisure wear, wasn't he?  Guitar in hand and mountainous bodyguard flanking one side, strolling through the airport, all the while sending his fans into a frenzy with his emergence.  Lucky folks who were able to catch a glimpse of Louis T!  

The timing was interesting, wasn't it?  Right on the heels of The Day That Was, when John and Edward Grimes, aka Zedward (@planetzedward on twitter), went on a twitter spree, naming names and calling Syco out onto the carpet.  It was a glorious sight to behold. [language warning!]

and yes, the tweets are still up.

 

Those two tweets are but a mere drip from their tea gusher.  That tea was spilled allllll over Aisle 13.  There is more to this story, more heroes involved, especially one who has been bringing the situation to light for much longer than this by the name of singer Rebecca Ferguson, but for now, we highlighted Jedward's because their words were timed with a Louis appearance.  

• And another prairie dog pop-up occurred not too long ago.  

 

Aahhh yes, guess who?  Mr. Jake!  Jake Gyllenhaal has emerged so to speak, not "live", but in a new spot for Cartier.  Talking watches, while admiring the watch on his wrist and looking quite healthy and sharp while doing so.

Yep, it's really me!!  Here I am!

Does anybody really know what time it is??

You know.....I am a father. 😉

 

 

 

LOL!  I couldn't resist.  Just Narnia's own playground and not CBS Sunday Morning's.  But if you would like to see Jake in all his softspoken-ness and see what he really said, here you go right here!

• In the scary post of the week, here's a recent Instagram post of Jensen Ackles'.  Is the "wild man" hirsuteness for his role in Amazon Prime's The Boys or is it also a part of Jensen trying the 2012-2014 Jake image transformation?

Who could forget this era?

and,

• We also had a sighting of two of our NFL faves hanging out at The Masters, #15 Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs' TE #87, Travis Kelce.

 

They sure love their golf!  😀

 

• Let's cut to this Shevine moment as Narnia blows smoke at the whole circus train of "Blake and Stefani".  Narnia looks for the reeeeeeal sparks, and it isn't with those two.  This was the fire right here.

 

Aaaah yes.  Timelines don't lie and high profile "het" marriages which need an assortment of celebrity endorsements and "wedding" participation are signs that there's more in the bottom of that pot than is visible at the top.

• And what a gift which occurred this past week, but some interaction between Louis Tomlinson and Liam Payne.  We're thankful for all the little things and these kinds of moments actually seem big because they're so few and far between.

 

This was great to see, wasn't it?  Thank you, guys!

I know this was brief, but hang in there with us.  My day of freedom is within sight now.  😉

Everyone have a nice week!

Easter 2021: Narnia's Faves - Hope Will Always Spring Eternal

 

Judy Garland and Peter Lawford

 

 

It doesn't get any better than Judy and Peter, does it?  Happy Easter to everyone and blessed last day of Passover.  

And may this Spring season bring a feeling of renewal and hope for all.  Narnia thought we would share this day with you in the form of a light-hearted seasonal card.  Here are many of our faves helping to spread the varied ambience of this day, in alllll kinds of fun ways. 😉

 

Austin Nichols (on the left)

 

Now while we acknowledge the birthday tiara doesn't quite qualify for an Easter hat, the party horn and cheerful colors seem to be the right thing to get us off to a celebratory start.  And if that's Austin, then that means, we must follow with the infamous gotta-post photo of his guy, Jake with his congratulatory Easter bunny. 😉

And how about Blake coming through as the Easter chick?

 

Blake Shelton

 

This was too perfect - Adam bringing the food,

 

Adam Levine

 

 

Louis says "I've got the rabbit costume covered!"

 

Louis Tomlinson

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If Louis is going to wear the rabbit ears, well then his guy Harry will strike the pose to go along with the ears because they work as a team that way.  😊

Harry Styles

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And let's have an honorary member - here's fave Eric Hosmer, first baseman for the San Diego Padres.  Look at him rocking the passionate purple.  Yowsa! 🔥🔥

Eric Hosmer

 

 

And Niall Horan said that we needed wicker, although in our post today, it's in the form of a picnic basket, lol.  [Narnia must remember this photo when we do a summer pic-a-nic post, complete with Yogi Bear and BooBoo🐻😄 ]

 

Niall Horan

 

 

Can't beat Nialler in a white dinner jacket, can you?  And what about Zayn Malik?  We could not resist this one - Zayn's putting the challenge to Blake, I dare say!

 

Zayn Malik

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And we must follow with his guy, Liam.  Liam is bringing the spirit of Spring and talk about a guy who has been putting the petal to the mettle!  That's Liam.

 

Liam Payne

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There are no bunnies or chicks or spring flowers when it comes to these two, but they're bringing warmth.  Cannot have enough warmth.  Here are Kevin and Austin - look at these two.  What a beautiful, loving picture!

 

Austin P. McKenzie and Kevin McHale

 

 

We'll have Jared and Jensen join in with their children in two beautiful photos.  First, Jared with Tom, Shep and Odette when she was still a baby.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and Jensen with JJ, Arrow and Zeppelin,

And Adam Lambert contributes his chapeau,

And speaking of fashion,  Travis tells Austin and Adam that he'll hop on that train,

Travis Kelce

 

We have everyone...oh wait, got one more!  Now here's someone who is really getting a bang out of getting into the spring spirit,

 

Josh Duhamel

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The outstanding slideshow is located here on popsugar and it is a roll worth checking out.  Josh has a son and likely was inspired by him as Axel was about one and a half years old at the time.

What a perfect wrap-up to our Easter and Spring celebration for 2021.  Thank you, men!  

And we hope everyone had a lovely Sunday today, finding hope in the renewal of life which resurfaces in the return of the robins, the return of green grass and the bloom of a hyacinth.
