amazingly deep thoughts

[hieronymousmosh]

Hello and welcome to my brain considering two photos of Robert Downey Jr in almost the same outfit, and its confusion over finding the RDJ of the second photo to be more attractive.

Is it the hat? The jacket? How do these items outweigh the very evident wrists & bracelets & legs in the first pic? My brain isn't sure! Why is the jean shirt less

... without judging you at all (because my brain agrees with you, what the hell), I believe it's because his crotch is much more prominent in the second pic. Seriously, the sun wants us to look at his crotch!

Also, I'm fairly sure that the orange jacket is so horrible that it kind of short-circuits all top-half fashion judgements (is that a STRING TIE?) and goes through bad, and out the other side into fabulous.

(It's a theory)

It concerns me a *lot* that it might actually be the jacket and not prominent-crotchness in my case. WE'LL JUST SAY IT'S HIS CROTCH. That's less embarrassing.

(YES. STRING TIE. Who dressed this man!?)

I think it's because you can't see the stitching on the denim shirt, in the second pic? Every time I look at the first pic, I get an eyetwitch.

(STRING TIE. NO ONE WHO WEARS A STRING TIE SHOULD BE HOT. AND YET.)

it's the HAT. and the JACKET. and the POSE. nnnnnnnmmr.

also seconding the "oh, hello rdj's crotch!" point.

p.s. i like the tie!

I'm just going to have to be the odd one out here, I don't think it's the crotch in my case. (...what did I just type?) HAT, JACKET and POSE all get YESes, though!

A very in-depth examination! (in our pants) Thank you, madam ;)

i also approve this analysis. (in, naturally, my pants.) (my BRITISH pants.)
