I feel pretty, oh so pretty

[dar_jeeling]

I've just rewatched Some Like It Red and you know, crossdressing is really not one of my kinks. Well, it isn't. It's not. Stop laughing!

Seriously though, I'm mostly just fascinated because there are a few moments when he bats his eyelashes or smiles in a certain way or tilts his head just so that make me think: Woah. Not bad.

Right. I'll get to the interesting part now. Fraser in drag. A...study in caps.







































I can't imagine what you'd do with them, but: Want, take, have.

Why, oh why do I find him strangely attractive? Not in a drop-dread gorgeous way, but in a kind of, huh, that's a handsome woman way. I think picture 6 in particular is screwing with my head.

[dar-jeeling.livejournal.com]

It's weird, isn't it? I think it's the lips because woah, seriously pretty. Or maybe the eyes. I didn't really notice the prettiness of Paul Gross before that episode.. ;)

I think I watched most of that episode through my fingers. It's what I do when I'm so embarressed by what the characters are doing. Ths only cross dressing that really does it for me is The Adventures of Pricilla, Queen of the Desert. Guy Pierce in drag is just so amazingly hot.

You can stop laughing at me now :P

[dar-jeeling.livejournal.com]

Oh, no laughing from me! I have an embarrassment squick the size of...a really freaking huge embarrassment squick. Oddly, this episode didn't trigger it.

Well, okay, the dancing scene did.

[flatlanddan.livejournal.com]

Word.

[godofwine.livejournal.com]

this could just be me, but for such a pretty man, paul gross does not make a very convincing woman.

also, have you seen "eclipse" where they mention the drag episode? oh due south...*loves*

[dar-jeeling.livejournal.com]

I imagine it's very difficult. Maybe if he was younger?

Not yet! I've watched a couple of episodes when they first aired, but you know, never with slash goggles. It's all shiny and new!

[godofwine.livejournal.com]

I think it's because he has a very masculine face. And very wide shoulders.

The beauty of due South is that you don't even really need slash googles. Maybe a pair of Daniel Jackson fake not-prescrition glasses, but I digress. You don't it's there because Paul Gross says it's there. And Paul Gross is god.

[dar-jeeling.livejournal.com]

Hee. It will be totally homoerotic? Something along those lines, right?

[godofwine.livejournal.com]

Um, is there anything in due South that's not homoerotic? Maybe Dief...though he and Fraser are awfully close. Hmm...

[dar-jeeling.livejournal.com]

*blinks*

I am not hearing this, lalalala.

[godofwine.livejournal.com]

You know, Fraser's from the Northwest Territories and of course, he spends so much time alone with his wolf. Boy needs something to entertain himself.

[dar-jeeling.livejournal.com]

Augh! Stop making so much sense!

The eleventh one? With him looking straight at the camera, with the eyeliner and earrings? Guh. Mmmm, he's pretty in make-up.

[everysecondtues.livejournal.com]

Er, and that was me, but for some reason lj logged me out. o_O

[dar-jeeling.livejournal.com]

Word. The earrings are not really my kind of thing, but oh yeah, the make-up suits him.

[enname.livejournal.com]

If I could just get past the atrocious wig... that might help a little bit. I'll go with eversecondtues on number eleven. The earrings are a bit easier to ignore than the wig, and without the wig his face isn't as 'masculine' seeming. Strangely.

Pretty eyebrows there.

[dar-jeeling.livejournal.com]

and without the wig his face isn't as 'masculine' seeming. Strangely.

Yes! That's it exactly. He seems more boyish. Well, or feminine.

Couldn't they afford a nice wig? *sighs*

[enname.livejournal.com]

Perhaps the word you are searching for is androgynous? :P

The wig maximises his jawline, lowers his forehead even more and ... yeah. He needs to accentuate his eyes, his mouth and the fact that he does have a delicate bone structure.

Ha! See me give advice on how Frasier should become a drag queen. :P

Stooopid wig depts.

[dar-jeeling.livejournal.com]

Me just waked up. Stop using the big words!

Yes, okay, androgynous. ;)
This is TV! Shouldn't they have authentic ones?

[enname.livejournal.com]

Do the big words hurt? *pets*

'Girly'

Is that better?

Uh, you do remember how long it took for them to find a decent wig for Rachel Luttrell don't you? And she wears it all the time. For a one off, male I think the rule is 'whatever will fit you big head doofus'.

[dar-jeeling.livejournal.com]

You don't watch SG-1, do you? A whole history of finding the most atrocious wigs imaginable.

[enname.livejournal.com]

Nope and oh dear God. I can only imagine...

Hey, you were the one who decided to all snarky about tv and wigs. :P

[lorem_ipsum]

Hi! Here via bluebrocade. I'd always assumed that their utter failure to make him pass (padded shoulders? wtf?) was deliberate. So of course they picked a wig that was all wrong.

[dar-jeeling.livejournal.com]

That was what I was thinking, too, but then I thought it wouldn't really make sense because well, in the episode it's crucial that he passes as a woman. (Even though it's Due South. I'd totally forgotten how silly that show could be!) I'm guessing the bangs were mostly for covering his eyebrows. Plus, the make-up wasn't bad.

There should be a commentary or behind the scenes or something to reveal the mystery! ;)

[fatuorum.livejournal.com]

You really weren't kidding about Xena. *stares*

[dar-jeeling.livejournal.com]

Actually, I saw this promo pic (http://www.geocities.com/TelevisionCity/Station/6585/play.jpg) before I watched the episode. The shadows make him look even more like her.

[joandarck.livejournal.com]

Wow! He's so pretty in some of those it's just wrong. Here's an idea: can you imagine if he and Lucy Lawless had children? Picture them. Huge, blue-eyed, gender-confusing and beautiful.

(Oh... here via bluebrocade... sorry!)

[dar-jeeling.livejournal.com]

I like the seventh one. It's the smile.
The episode really made me appreciate Paul Gross' prettiness. ;)
