A Single Pane View of Our OTP's


For most of us, pictures are what we have to see of our fave OTP's. Maybe once in awhile, there could be a convention photo op, a chance encounter while a singer is on tour, or view from afar at a stage door.  But otherwise, we see these young men in gifs and videos, on stage, or on the silver screen. In these small, albeit oftentimes controlled circumstances, what might we perchance catch a glimpse of?  These are some of our own observations...mostly all in fun, all in fondness.

Does Dylan O'Brien ever have a contemplative, pensive moment?
Must he be smiling and smirking every picture?  lol




Niall Horan can be an innocently, open faced book.  Take for example, when an interviewer asked the group about the origin of Rainbow Bonded Bear and Niall turns to look directly at Louis.


 

Let's put it this way - you don't want to be on Nialler's poker team. LOL. We're fondly kidding around.  This kind of openness cannot be found everyday.

It's as if the falling scoop neck gives Adam Lambert an added vulnerability...I love watching Adam while he's talking. Very demonstrative and animated.




The brightness and life in Adam's eyes is what captivates.



 






















Adam Levine minus the gel, minus the pose, minus the crooning. It is a pose and yet he looks open and bare.





How about that?


This was Jensen Ackles during an emotional moment at a convention.




and here: happier, unaware of how displayed his feelings were.




*collects oneself*   That gag reel moment does it to this author every time.  First clue I think I saw which told me J2 were for real.

And because it's  the law, Jared or Jensen must follow the other.

Jared Padalecki - At ease.  Open body language.  Always smiling. Confident.




Knows how and when to be sensitive to others.

 


Austin Nichols - three pics because this is what catches my eye that his head is bent in all three of these pictures while there is conversation going on around him.

















Louis Tomlinson a true warrior and master at communicating in between the lines. Someone who is brave, complex and simply a lovely human being. Niall said in a recent interview that if it hadn't been for Louis, the group would have lost the plot a long time ago. Enough said.






And that's what makes you beautiful.



Kris Allen seems to run a little deep to me. He's known for being very nice. He's a "good guy".  He's sweet and talented.  But I think there's some intense waters flowing in there. Anyone who lays out their soul through their song lyrics is wanting to be heard.







Zayn Malik in a playful moment



Love his matter-of-fact reply here.  Looks like he speaks calmly and yet frankly.  Playful gif and photo, one after another of Zayn.  For one whom so many brooding and serious photos dominate Google Images, there are so many like the above and below engaging.




Speaking of, here's Harry Styles.  Mr. Free Form, someone who couldn't be truer to his last name. An original. Fierce, sweet yet the embodiment of vulnerability.












Blake Shelton - I've been trying to see past the denim, long legs, boots and guitar.  Is it just me or do his eyes seem awfully serious sometimes?  lol!  Like - really serious.  Joke or a dig here?









What lies beneath the denim and guitar?  I have not seen enough to have a frank opinion.   One thing is for sure, Blake sure seems to light up around Adam.


And Mr. Liam Payne whose smile reaches his eyes in an endlessly wonderful loop.  Sometimes the wrong words come out of his mouth, but there's no doubt he has a heart of gold.










He knows he's adorbs too, doesn't he?  ;-)

And then there's Jake Gyllenhaal who is enthusiastic, a total professional when he needs to be on the promo circuit, and looks like he can work himself into a snit.  But it's who he can be, right?  And then turn right around and cradle Boo in his arms or gently hand a crayon to a little toddler.  

Jake's window is through his body language. [But please hold onto stair railings, Jake! #3PointContact]  Love this photo of him - expectancy!




then he can become,



but then,



Fun stuff.  Studying.  Wondering.  Contemplating.  Fascinating.

These are some of the qualities we see (and open to differences) in some photos.  What or who do you see in the narrow windows that we receive?

Fashion Runway with Narnia's OTP's



Earlier in the afternoon, a tweeter shook my timeline with an old vintage snapshot of Austin Nichols.  And I mean, shook.  I'm still in awe.  Let's take a look at this ghost of Austin Past and follow up with some snappy moments from some of our other favorites for a little relief from the camo, backwards ballcaps, black and grey, and beanies....


 

Wheweeee, get back, Austin.  

Remember the days...



Let's not stop here, though.  We've got a few other sharp notes, don't we?  Cue the runway!!

Right off the bat, it's too hard to choose just one on Louis T, let's play two:



Check out the plum:




And Harry; who could ever forget this melon colored suit - blew me away.




and in case you need for him to hold still:






















Mr. Adam Levine rocks a plain black T very well..





and Adam can rock the pink as well.  WoW!!






















We should have these fashion moments more often, shouldn't we? Let's rock this joint with some Liam Payne.  Brace yourself!  This happened not too long ago this year. I'm still trying to recover.




And Liam with the suit.




Zayn is a fashionista, willing to try all kinds of looks.  He certainly has the flair for style.   This jacket is exquisite:



 It's a two-fer for Zayn!







Kris Allen knows how to compliment his physique and has worn many short jackets on stage.  He wears them well.  Short jackets, tank tops, and simple T's, that's Kris.  More than enough.









I know that second pic has made its appearance before, but it's so classic.  The color of the T is perfect.

And on the topic of casual, what about Blake Shelton?  He's country and western all the way.  Boots, denim or vests.  The best. It doesn't get any better.
























Ease and comfort.  This is like a portrait, isn't it?
 




Let us not forget this fashion man - Mr. Jensen Ackles, who knows what the runway is all about.






















No words.   And that deserves another because Mr. Ackles can wear just about anything and stop the presses.  Including his dazzling smile.





Jared must follow Jensen.  It's the law.







Jared and his scarves - love them!!  He also rocks the jacket.






It's about that time for Mr. Jake Gyllenhaal - and there are just too many to choose from.  I don't think anyone wears a suit like Jake.  Just look at this ensemble...



Then there's the cashmere, the sweaters and the soft fleece.  Which one to pick, which one to pick....you know which one I'm going with, right?  I have 1000 bucks in my mad money jar, and I keep pulling out the same $20 bill that I always do.  LOL!!!  But just LOOK at him!!!!  Look!! Fresh haircut and everything.




Awwwwww, the ol' cuddle dud himself.  

*sniff*   Maybe one of these days the class will get to see some different pics of Jake, right?  Just not tonight.  ;-)

Okay, lol.  Okay, let's end this one on a high note, Mr. Adam Lambert, the fashion icon himself.   Roarrrrrr...









BAM!!!   There ya go.   And then -






BAM!  Look at that.  Flash at its best.

Prairie Girl is worn out and has to pack.  Thanks for sharing in this fashion moment.  Funny what one simple tweet can inspire.
