Orange Our OTP's Gorgeous for Halloween?

Who you gonna call for gorg orange and black?  Why, our OTP's, of course!  Happy Halloween from Narnia, everyone!!  Put down the red Twizzler for just a moment and gaze upon our lovely and fierce men in alot of orange and sprinkles of black.  The runway is ready and come on, fellas, show off the orange and black.  :-)

I can't think of a better start than Mr. Kevin McHale.  We have the best of both "color" worlds here.

Super excited to announce my app, +ONE! Ahh DL it now: https://t.co/32y46XYKWV https://t.co/XPBITzEUW7 #TCDisrupt pic.twitter.com/S8MpIvXbsE

And his guy, Austin P. McKenzie with the pin flair and who cares there's a GI watermark, he looks spectacular here!

Niall Horan?  Fine in rust,

Jared Padalecki in an orange plaid and looking a tad rumpled,

So if that's Jared, well, Jensen must follow or there could be a riot. From them!  lol.  Oh and look, Jensen sporting the orange plaid as well!

Now here's an enduring twosome, Moose looking fine in black,

and Hos,

Yeah, you're lookin' good, lookin' good, Hos ;-)  You are both #ForeverRoyal!

Now, here's a twosome. It was tough to select one for Adam as he had several great pics in the pumpkin color.  Here's a bonus - we get Blake as well!

and lookee here, for once in a blue moon, Mr. Shelton was not such a tough challenge, lol!

Mr. Jake in black and white,

and just like Blake Shelton surprised the heck out of us, Austin also did the same.  Here he is in kind of an orange chiffon,

Now, one can't go wrong with Mr. Kris Allen in black, and on top of that - a trench coat.  

and this means that Adam Lambert can't be far behind. Adam has a hot orange jacket, but his photographers make things kind of difficult.  And that's okay because this allows Narnia to cheat just a tad and share joyful Adam in black pinstripe. What a wonderful picture of Adam,

 

And a magical OTP followed by another,

Mr. Harry Styles showing off a sharp orange suit,

and Mr. Louis Tomlinson, also known as King Louis and for good reason.  ;-) Look at him! Young Louis in a cable knit rust!!  It doesn't get much better!

lol, look at the glimpse of Harry in that gif.  Wonder what these boys were laughing at?  ;D

And now?  The two ornery Olympians.  First, Mr. Adam Rippon in portrait black and white, with bonus Gus Kenworthy!

Pardon, while we pause for just a moment to cool off after that photo...

lol.   And now Gus and his boyfriend, Matt Wilkins looking fit in black.  Awwww, what a sweet picture!

And what about Mr. Josh Duhamel, whose heiney is still sizzling a bit from the Golden State Warriors' burn, lol.   Aw, we love Josh and here he is looking splendid in a bright orange T,

and now for Wentworth who's modeling the finest in orange jumpsuit apparel...... I have to say, hehe....this has been one of Narnia's most inspiring posts to compose!

And finally, we conclude with two young men who know how to bring down the house.  Mr. Zayn Malik and Mr. Liam James Payne, aka "Payno" according to Louis.  :-)   Mr. Zayn with quite the orange ensemble,

and sweet Liam!!  Look at him rocking an incredible orange jacket and black turtleneck.  And the warm smile to boot.  Thank you, Liam!

and in his Tony the Tiger, I mean tiger sweatshirt.  ;-)

HAPPY HALLOWEEN, EVERYONE!!  BE SAFE TODAY (and every day, of course)

A Different Kind of Fireworks - Narnia Dispatches Wishes You a Happy Independence Day the OTP Way

America - by Claude McKay
1921

Although she feeds me bread of bitterness,
And sinks into my throat her tiger's tooth,
Stealing my breath of life, I will confess
I love this cultured hell that tests my youth.
Her vigor flows like tides into my blood,
Giving me strength erect against her hate,
Her bigness sweeps my being like a flood.
Yet, as a rebel fronts a king in state,
I stand within her walls with not a shred
Of terror, malice, not a word of jeer.
Darkly I gaze into the days ahead,
And see her might and granite wonders there,
Beneath the touch of Time's unerring hand,
Like priceless treasures sinking in the sand.

Indeed, these are truly some of the most trying times for the United States, but the spirit and tenacity of a country cannot be forgotten under the ill-gotten representation of its present "leadership".  So, let's appreciate America's spirit and beauty that can be easy to forget these days. While we at Narnia can show a few teeth ourselves, we would not be here, if we did not still did not care what happens to our OTP's.

Boys of Summer - Narnia Dispatches Edition 2018

It's a hot one so far and the first day of summer hasn't even hit.  But our guys aren't waiting.  They've kicked off the shoes and shed the spring jackets, time to soak up some Vitamin D.  Maybe exchange for a light cotton button down instead, show some calves, run along the beach and WE ARE HERE FOR IT!!  Let's break Blogger whadya say?

Nial "Nialler" Horan is going to kick it off with a few from his recently completed 2018 tour overseas. Simple and cotton does it best.

The casually understated Josh Duhamel with his son, Axl.  Nice shade of green with the henley, eh?  We love pictures of the guys with their children.

And Blake "he makes it so tough on a Narnia author" Shelton. LOL! If Narnia ever does a Cowboys of Narnia post, he's got that one nailed, but anything else?  It's like searching for a needle in a haystack.  Here's Blake from January 2018, w/ the beard cut out.  Nice gams, Blake! ;-)

Adam Levine in the classic white T:

And Louis Tomlinson sporting cuffed blush shorts,

We can't resist a double on Mr. Fashion Statement Louis. Hard to find any fella who wears shorts better than King Louis.

Harry?  He's rewriting the book on spring and summer suits, isn't he?

and behold the mint green,

And who is next?  Why, we have Mr. Gus Kenworthy, hey he's the one who loves to take it off!  We cannot help this; just working with the materials provided. Look at him, what a little cheese:

And Adam Rippon, teal never looked so refreshing!

Now, go to the fridge, get some ice and refresh the drink. If you need to ice the forehead, we'll understand.  We're not done yet because we have the summer stylish Kevin McHale and his boyfriend Austin P. McKenzie coming up.

Not always sure about the no-show socks, but I love the short suit! Narnia gives a thumbs up, Kevin!!  And time for his boyfriend Austin P. McKenzie to flash the white short sleeves and shades when he was in the San Francisco Pride parade as a cast member of When We Rise,

What about our favorite vintage OTP, Adam Lambert and the eternally beautiful Kristopher Allen.  What have they put together for the summer?  Prepare yourself.

Mr. Adam is stoic on the jet ski -

And Kris Allen has got the muscle tanks down pat. There is nothing in this world that can prepare for this vision.

 
Mr. Liam "Payno" Payne, wheweeeee!  Rocking that red polo in a throwback.  Hot damn.

And Zayn in an open blazer from the Balmain spring/summer 2015 collection:

And now, rounding out our Boys of Summer 2018 pictorial, first we have Jared Padalecki and his man, Jensen Ackles.  Jared in light layers while in Rio in 2012:

and Jensen, who knows how to layer and pulls off that Malibu look like nobody else.  What a dazzling, warm smile to go with that blue blazer.

Impossible to choose with Jensen.  He not only knows what to wear and how to layer it, but he carries himself with the professional posture that has paid off from former modeling experience. 

And the other two?  Mr. Austin Nichols in some dandy brown shorts and plaid shirt, on the water of course.

And Jakers, Mr. Jake Gyllenhaal showed that he could rock the red as well, circa pre-camo.  Cargo shorts and polo does a young man proud with the skateboard accessory.  ;-)  

So, while the temperatures continue to sizzle and soar, our young OTP men will continue to prove that linen wrinkles and damp cotton are a more than welcome benefit of the hot summer season.   

 Stay cool!!!
