John Sheppard has this tie. You must read the ad copy, because it's awesome.




from vintage_ads

He picked it up at a small curio/junk shop when he was stationed out in the middle of nowhere and going insane from boredom, because hey, it was cool and when he thought about it, it was pretty swank.

Unfortunately, most women didn't see it that way and anti-tieness was one of the major strikes against Nancy when they got engaged--Nancy even went so far as to tell him that under no circumstances would he wear it around her, with "under no circumstances will you wear it ever" strongly implied. But the drink dumped in his lap, the drink thrown in his face, or Nancy's inclusion of the tie in the prenup failed to shake his faith in the essential swankness of his tie.

So that brings us to now, when the tie becomes a crucial element in his seduction of Rodney McKay. You know that's what happens.

.eta: This possibly gives new meaning to "glowy sex" *muses*

In other news: New Hewlett icon! \o/

And, for those of you still around or just tuned in, model!John and reporter!Rodney improv with siriaeve.

I would totally kiss John if he were wearing that tie. ::nods::

What about one of those bowties (http://www.spinningbowties.com/?gclid=CKCp_aH9j5ICFQZ7IgodhWOt7g) where when you press a button it spins? Would you kiss him then?

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

Absolutely.

You know, I'd even kiss him NAKED.

That is impressive :D

[thegrrrl2002.livejournal.com]

I know, I wouldn't do that for just anyone!! John is special. *g*

You know, I'm pretty sure he wore one of those in First Monday...

I think we would all kiss him if he were wearing that tie, even if it might be more a matter of "in spite of" than "because of" though it makes for a good excuse: He's asking for it! (Now we just have to find him before Rodney does.)

I think Rodney would actually be very concerned about the radium that makes the tie glow in the dark :D Swank he might agree to, but radioactive isotopes just aren't sexy.

Hee - yes! Rodney would want John to take the tie *off* and put it away in a lead-lined box.

And he'd probably be all cute and smug about wearing it, making him even more irresistible.

Of course, Rodney would not let him out of his room in it. Especially since John likes to wear it tied around his waist. With nothing else on.

He's a classy guy, that John Sheppard.
