Struttin' Stars, Stripes, Red, White & Blue - Narnia's OTP's








It is the 4th of July in this year of 2017 and in between rounds of Wimbledon, roasting the dogs, carving the watermelon, mowing the yard, singing along with Jimmy Cagney in Yankee Doodle Dandy, or testing out a box of sparklers, come on over here to Narnia and check out our OTP's in red, white and/or blue.  You know we had to do it!

Let's start off with our honorary member of Narnia's OTP's, by default as a compadre of two other couples, let's hear it for Mr. Nialler Horan:







That is one fine looking American flag tank from the young Irishman!  Guess who's coming up next?

Mr. Tommo - Louis Tomlinson:





 Awww, outstanding!  Thank you for your support and acknowledgement, Louis.  :-)   He wears the stripes well, doesn't he?




And this must mean that Harry can't be far behind:




For hailing from across the pond, these 1D boys seem quite glad to show off the red, white and blue.  *thumbs up*




Following fierce Harry is......Mr. Adam Levine!!



















There ya go, if you are American, who doesn't have a patriotic T shirt?   Welllll, apparently Mr. Blake Shelton doesn't...Mr. Shelton's pass is that he rocks the denim and cowboy boots.  Show Adam what you can do, Blake!



 
#Damn ! Yowsa, yes that is his ticket into this OTP post.  ;-)  Now, let's see who else is going to join in...


Aaah yes, here is Mr. Jared Padalecki.



Not really sure what the raising of the can is supposed to symbolize, perhaps Bud Light is American based?  lol

And if we have Jared, then that MUST mean the Mutt to his Jeff is right around the corner...





Ha, that is no Mutt, that is a man in uniform and character, Mr. Jensen Ackles!!   And let's not forget when Jared's SO donned the Captain America -

























Let's have the handsome duo shouting out their patriotism together:





Yes, indeed.  [That is Jensen, btw, just with a case of wig hair because he was wearing one of those fuzzy wigs, lol!] 

Speaking of the red, white and blue, let's go back to these wonderfully supportive Brits.  Mr. Zayn Malik sporting the colors and looking really friendly and cute while doing so...




What a cutie!



And who else would follow Zayn, but the equally lovely Mr. Liam Payne!!  And leave it to Liam to display the U.S.'s colors in an imaginative way...




 














And look at this little nuggito in his star shirt!!!






And how about the whole group for a 1D finale:




The American flag looking mighty fine there with that very non-American crew.  lol.   They do the flag proud.  :-)



Next up, is one fine young man, Mr. Kris Allen...




And just because he is Kris and it's summer and all,







Hey, I'm the driver of this post, I control the radio and the Photo Albums, and I say black denim counts.   LOL !!!


Without further ado, if we have Kris, then we must have Mr. Adam Lambert.  Yes, this was stretching it just a tad but I think it's close enough. 



And that was just a teaser.  Here he is in all his red, white and blue glory.





Wowsa!  Love the glasses.  The blue mic is a great touch, too.

Let's see now....who remains?  And guess who was THE BIGGEST struggle to find in America's birthday colors?  These two renegades, that's who, ha ha.

Mr. Jake Gyllenhaal, with his stretchin-it Texas star T shirt:


































Awwww  never get tired of that one!  Here's sassy Jake in those safari shorts that are driving many on the internet crazy, no doubt Austin may have had a wardrobe-take-home request, huh?




Speaking of.....here is Jake's Other Half, Mr. Austin Nichols, "blowing stuff up".




And let's end it with this one.  This little gem involving our fave guy, Mr. Jake Gyllenhaal the time in 2006 when he was at a 4th of July party given by Matthew McConaughey and guess who else was there?  The picture appeared on I Heart Jake and when it was discovered that Austin was quite visible in the photo, the picture was withdrawn and quickly altered.  Instead of removing Austin completely from the photo, someone "moved" his head behind Jake, where they thought he might be less conspicuous.  LOL!







Little bit of a patch up job performed by a mystery™ person, but we see you two here, ha ha. 

Happy 4th of July, all ye Americans!!!   And Happy Birthday to this still-wonderful home we call the United States.  She shows a lot of wear and tear, but she is still our country.    A big Thank You to all "our boys" for helping to add some !pop! to the red, white and blue.

Cheek to Cheek from Here to Almeria



When this picture first appeared online yesterday, June 26, from an Instagram account that has now gone to that great Social Media Graveyard in the sky, we at Narnia smirked a bit because according to our set watches, it was indeed time for the 4th of July pregame show to start.  And here he is, our guy Jake with some blond dude whose account name was @geregaco.  






However, taking a closer look tonight, we have been alarmed to see that it looks like Mr. Jake has had some kind of Gyllen-calamity.






I don't know, but that looks like a swollen left cheek and dark upper left eyelid to me????   What happened, Jake?!  

Did the Wisdom Tooth Fairy come barreling through the door?
Did Papa have an encounter with one of the kiddo's drones?
Unique combo of lavender pencil and Skoal for that balanced image?
Lost a ping pong match with a yellow jacket?
Did a pinata stick miss its target?

Boy! Nonetheless, this "eye-catching" photo has been followed up today with this dandy gem:




Which seems like a sort-of, kind-of facsimile thereof, and in fact reminds me of this lovely botched, photo shopped job ("waist" not, want not after all!):


Not that Narnia is going to super analyze all of Mgmnt's "offerings", but we felt the added cosmetic inconsistencies were worth making note of.  If indeed these two Almeria pictures in the same restaurant were to have taken place the same day, it would be interesting to know why Jake needed to have a change of pants?  ;-)

No doubt we will be in for more black snakes and sparklers before this 4th of July 2017 is over.  Yea for that!  :-)

Pomp and Parade, Shews and Games...our OTPs' "Salute" to John Adams

Well, kind of a salute.  This 4th of July, as folks partake in the All-American hot dog or hamburger, maybe some BBQ, or tacos? Subs? Deviled eggs?  Whatever the fare may be, here's a look back at how our boys have enjoyed the art of partaking.  Dining.  Devouring.  Chowing down.  Strapping on the ol' feed bag.  Enjoy!














Just look at them all!!!!!  Aren't they wonderful???  I love it!!

Please, everyone be safe this holiday.  Remember, eyes on task.  Eyes on your path.  Think about what you're doing and where you're going.  Look out for your neighbors. Take your time.
Enjoy.  Unwind.  Savor.  Look around.  Let's all be thankful.  And I love these words from Mr. John Adams.





Happy 4th of July, one and all!!  :-)
