Orlando who?

Dear Orlando Bloom:

Hi. Remember me? I know, I know. It's been a while. QUITE a while, actually. I know, I suck. There's really no excuse. If it's any comfort, there's members of my family who haven't heard from me longer than you have. (It's a comfort to me, frankly. There's valid reasons I don't talk to them.)

But listen, we need to talk. We really need to have a little Come-To-Jesus. An intervention, if you will.

And no, it's not about your horrible taste in women. I mean, that horse is not only out of the barn, it went down the road, willingly walked up to the glue factory, got hit with a 2x4 in the head and ended up having tasty sugar-free Jell-O snack cups made out of its hooves. (only 10 calories each. Yum.) You knocked her up, you married her, you have a kid. You're stuck. FOREVER. DON'T CRY FOR ME, ARGENTINA.

We have a problem. A major problem. A problem so major that it made me break LJ silence, with a migraine even. I mean, my mother's latest escapades couldn't make me break silence, but this...

We need to talk about



Oh, don't try to wriggle out of this. This is a HUGE problem. I mean, really? REALLY?



Now, I'm not one of those militant "never wear sweatpants out of the house" type people. Nor am I one of those people who ascribes certain colors to certain levels of masculinity. It takes a manly man to wear some colors.

But seriously, dude. Let's talk.

Those sweatpants are an offense to... well, just about anything and everything. I was going to say God and man, but I'm pretty sure most phylums and species are offended by them too. Definitely invertebrates at the very least.

Now, you always have had a interesting sense of style, but that was always part of your charm. My kryptonite has always been British guys with great hair and bad clothes (see Taylor, John). British guys with great hair and bad clothes made my lady bits dance and sing.

But these photos? My vagina cried out in terror and then was suddenly silenced.

You know why it was silenced? Because after it saw those pictures, it rappelled down my leg, packed a bag and headed to Vegas to be a Craps dealer. Because these pictures prove that God is dead and there is no hope left in the world. Or at least in your fandom. Which used to be my vagina's world. (I know, it was a bit narrowly focused, but cut it some slack. It is just a vagina, after all.)

Remember 2005? That was a good year. A VERY good year. I used to look at pictures of you and drool on myself. Literally.

Let's review:



Good.



Nice, nice.



TASTY. Like my underwear have scorchmarks TASTY. MMMM.

How did we go from THAT to THIS:

::record scratch noise::



NO. JUST STOP. DO NOT PASS GO. DO NOT COLLECT $200. DO NOT EVER PUT YOUR PENIS IN A VAGINA EVER AGAIN. DO NOT PUT YOUR PENIS IN THE SAME AREA CODE AS A VAGINA. EVER.

Or THIS:



The fuck? What the fuck is up with that ironic hipster retro cell phone handset shit?

Or this:



No. Bad movie star. No biscuit.

Just stop this shit now before I drive out to wherever the Hell you are and beat you with a rolled up newspaper.

I'm not saying that you should look the same as you did six years ago. But just because you married a supermodel with a great body and a room temperature IQ does not mean that you can stop trying. Trying specifically defined as bathing. And combing your hair once a week. Or wearing pants with zippers. Or wearing pants, for that matter.

Don't make me come over there. You wouldn't like it. I promise.

Gah! drool factor of negative 2.3. The boy needs to go outside every once & a while to get some color back. Maybe he is trying to be Rob Pattinson or something. Needs a stylist to pick out his clothes every day fer sure.

I love this - a supermodel with a room temperature IQ. He looks so...middle aged and I don't even think he's 30. I shifted my allegiance to Damian Lewis some time ago. I never thought much about red heads but Damian can do a cold smolder. Orlando seems to have totally lost it. Carrying a pink telephone makes me seriously question his sanity.

He just turned 35.

I'm feeling Dwayne Johnson lately. He's closer to my age, smart and Mmmm...

It's red, not pink. The colour is off in those photos. The handset is exactly the shade of the old school phone that we keep around for when the power goes out and cordless phones won't work.
That being said, I have a couple of things to say to Orlando:
WTF with half of a discount store old school phone stuck on your blackberry or iphone or whatever?
And whose "free city" pants are those, anyway? Did they come in some free swag from some event? Just because someone gives it to you, you don't have wear it. Or did you find them in the laundry and think they were yours? (Reminds me of the time when a certain prof I know went around wearing a woman's sleep shirt with pink chickies on it because he couldn't tell it wasn't his).

My guess is the phone is ... one of those plastic sets children play with, maybe? And it broke and he stuck it around his neck and forgot he had it until he was already out and about? Or he lost a bet with the wife and had to carry it around?

Nope

It's a retro cell phone handset. Some people think he's getting paid for toting it around in pap photos. I think it's just because he's a tit.

He better hold on to the headset, because as soon as I see him I'm going to rip it out of his hands and smack him up side the head with it.

I think I see the problem here.

In the first pictures, a stylist gussied him up for the pro photos. In the last ones, he was clearly left on his own with a laundry basket.

So, he is never to be allowed out of the house until a stylist has given him a once-over. Yeah, he doesn't have to look magazine perfect, but if the shrieks of the stylist (followed by the thud of the overwhelemed sytlist hitting the floor in a swoon) fill the house, it should be an alarm to security. They would then tackle his skinny ass and drag him back into the house until the stylist can be revived long enough to pick out an appropriate outfit for him.

Or, a stylist could plan ahead and put tags on all his clothes. Kind of like Grrranimals.

On the bright side (from my point of view anyway) it got us a post from you. It's been too damn long. The kicker is that he can afford to dress presentably - or have someone do it for him. He looks rather like what work did to me this year. Kids'll take it out of you, but he was on that road pre-kid. Tut tut.

You're back! Yay!

But yes, this is something that would make Tim Gunn cry. (And that headset? Ewwwww...)

Maybe Project Runway could help. "Your challenge this week, designers: to dress Orlando Bloom in real clothing. No sweatpants, no jersey fabric, no Snuggies, and if you design pants they must include at least one functional zipper. Plus, you get to design something complementary for your models using the same restrictions. Let's go to Mood!"

HE OWNS NO PANTS THAT FIT. Have you been able to notice that? I mean, I understand, retinas are scorched world-wide by those purple people-eaters. But nothing fits him.

Why is it that so many men just plain can't be trusted to dress themselves? Dude looks like he fell down the basement stairs, landed in the dirty clothes hamper, and just decided to wear what he found there.

For substitute eye candy, can I recommend Benedict Cumberbatch? Google "Sherlock". OOH. He's been in other stuff but I think his natural hair colour is a kind of reddish blonde and it doesn't suit him at all. But for Sherlock he dyed it black and oh my word. He is not allowed to stop colouring his hair ever.
