fashionista/Miller's Crossing question!

[aesc]

I need your help! Venture it only, though, if you are willing to be spoiled for some bits of "Miller's Crossing."


I told dogeared how much I hope that Ronon grows to like his earth clothes, and dogeared suggested the possibility of him wearing them on missions and totally weirding out people who have never heard of The GAP. Then one day, says I, maybe John catches him looking through someone's JCrew catalogue and Ronon's all "What? WHAT? I can get the jeans in tall, okay?"

Now, observe the before/after shots below:



And I ask you, who is responsible for this? The SGC? O'Neill's bizarre sense of humor? Or...



JOHN SHEPPARD: GUERILLA CLOTHESHORSE?

dogeared suggested the possibility that John could be a secret clotheshorse (he has long sparkly curtains), who hides behind a screen of plain black t-shirts and linen Shirts of Hot. Then again, he could be the kind of guy who believes jeans should never cost more than $15 and should be worn into the ground. I honestly can't decide. A possible crux is whether or not John picked out that suit himself.

Thoughts? Opinions? Comments on John reading the newspaper? And what the hell is that a picture of on the back page? It looks like a mutated jellyfish.

Also, David Hewlett has stolen my pants because I very clearly remember having a pair just like these. It would possibly explain something about their fit.



They are very much like a pair of pants I once had, light grey with thin striping, but went missing sometime around when I moved this year and I miss them and would like them back.

IS IT FRIDAY YET PLEASE???

As for John, I have a feeling that's his all purpose suit that he's had for years that he wears to everything that doesn't require a dress uniform.

I am very sad for it seems that Teyla does not accompany them. I want to see if she has better taste than the mist-induced-hallucination version of herself.

I would also like to volunteer for any missions that involve tracking down David Hewlett and stealing his your pants. *nod*

Well, if you're only going to have one, you got to make it count :D

I want to see if she has better taste than the mist-induced-hallucination version of herself.

Unless, of course, it was John's hallucination that was responsible for her dressing that way. (In which case, if I were Teyla, I'd totally beat him.) And also, he took her to the mall. For some reason, this makes me laugh.

Plans are being drawn up!

the possibility that John could be a secret clotheshorse (he has long sparkly curtains), who hides behind a screen of plain black t-shirts and linen Shirts of Hot

Hmm, see, I tend to think of him as someone who knows precisely how damn sexy he is and therefore does not need sexy clothes. So the simple effect of black t-shirts is enough for him most days (he makes the clothes sexy, not the other way round). The crux of the issue for me, though, is with Rodney, who is clearly wearing the last clothes not in his laundry basket. If John is responsible for Ronon's sartorial enhancements, HOW did he let Rodney escape in that outfit?

Eee, reading the paper! ♥ (Mutated jellyfish is my best guess, too. Though zooming in it looks like there's something sticking out the top of it. I can't get the headline beneath it clear enough though.)

Of course, that's offset by the fact the doesn't seem to be aware of the fact that he's almost (almost) as big a dork as Rodney. Oh, John. Six steps forward, half a dozen back.

The crux of the issue for me, though, is with Rodney, who is clearly wearing the last clothes not in his laundry basket. If John is responsible for Ronon's sartorial enhancements, HOW did he let Rodney escape in that outfit?

Well, there is the worry for his sister and all, and possibly John has been trying to convince Rodney to decrease his sartorial deficiency, but Rodney of course is stubborn and uncooperative and refuses to go along. He's probably not brought up the issue with Ronon either, but the trip Earthside would be the perfect opportunity to introduce Ronon to the wonders of the oxford collar. (Top couple of buttons undone, of course.)

*waves hand wildly* I volunteer to go take them off David Hewlett for you!

Let the liberation of the pants begin! \o/

What, pray tell, is a clotheshorse? *baffled*

[aesc.livejournal.com]

A clotheshorse (or clothes horse) is an expandable wooden frame you can hang clothes on to dry (like so (http://content.answers.com/main/content/wp/en/thumb/3/3f/180px-Clotheshorse.jpg)), but these days in the US it's more often used to refer to someone who's obsessed with and so has accumulated a lot of clothes.

[lavvyan.livejournal.com]

Ahhh, now I get it. *g*

Thank you!

[aesc.livejournal.com]

You're welcome! I live for this sort of thing :D

[leupagus.livejournal.com]

I always wondered what those were called! (The wooden clothes-hangy-thingies, not the people who get a lot of clothes.) V. cool. Although for the record? They do not hold as many really heavy sweaters as you might think, resulting in collapse (on the part of the clotheshorse) and despair (on mine).

Before I saw that last picture, I had hoped that maybe they dragged Rodney out of bed and those were his pajama pants, because really, I think I could accept that. But now *heavy sigh* I see that they're not.

[aesc.livejournal.com]

Ha! That's what I thought too. Then I saw that picture and was like "What are MY pants doing on David Hewlett?"

And then I thought, "Lucky asdlkjf pants."

[tex.livejournal.com]

Despite the striped pants of the strange, there's going to be massive hotness this Friday. John and Ronon in suit jackets - nrrrgh.

[aesc.livejournal.com]

Nnnnmph. Oh yis yis.

[slian-martreb.livejournal.com]

Is it just me or is John totally checking out Rodney's ass in that last picture?

Honestly, everytime another picture from this episode is released (or, well, I see one), the level of glee in anticipation just grows and grows and grows...

the level of glee in anticipation just grows and grows and grows...

That I have to wait to see it fills me with no end of vexation and annoyance. Man, do I hate Comcast.

Seriously, I'm not sure if my heart can survive Miller's Crossing. My weekly review for that ep is sure to be full of capslock and exclamation points!! :D

I'm not sure if my heart can survive Miller's Crossing.

I may have to wait to watch it when roommate is out of the house (why couldn't she be gone next week???), because I honestly don't know if I can contain the squee without exploding all over the place.

[mischief5.livejournal.com]

I would also like to volunteer for any missions that involve tracking down David Hewlett Rodney McKay...

...And hooking him up with the guys from "Queer Eye". He's really giving them a bad name. In two galaxies, no less. *giggle*

[kimberweeme.livejournal.com]

Until the pictures of Rodney with his hand in his pocket or running around, I was holding out a vain hope that he left Atlantis in his jimjams. Alas, he is just fashion challenged. 'Tis okay, though, because HOODIE!

Personally, I think John probably saw the suit, thought black is good and went with it. But the idea that he secretly reqs catalogs from trendy clothing suppliers makes me grin and love him even more.

This episode will be so pretty I might just explode. Can it be Friday, please?

...still warm from his arse.

I prefer to think that John has a storage bin somewhere on earth full of vast amounts of clothes and candles that he pulls out for special occasions.
