It has been noted before by other White Shirts that a certain mezzo, given the right hair do, suit and stage setting, bears a passing resemblance to Leonardo di Caprio in Titanic.

But did anybody spot the Kate Winslet moment?

I wish I was an ace with photoshop and could make them both appear in the same shot!
Wouldn’t that make a fabulous duet?

HAVE A WONDERFUL WHITE SHIRT WEEKEND!

*LOL* great catch!
also, that first photo… UNFFFFFFFF. (cue title of my last White Shirt Monday)
Indeed! and these acronyms and initialisms continue to flumox me – I have to look them up. I’m obviously leading too sheltered an existence but my horizons are continually broadened by your posts
I aplologize, I have spent too much time with the hipster crowd on Tumblr lately. Not that I would get half of the acronyms there.
No apology needed – it’s always good to learn!
Looking up unf… Hey Anik. I don’t get even half the normal text acronyms myself. Would be totally lost on Tumblr!
(I mean, I even remember only having a black and white TV with rabbit ears antenna on top of it when I was a kid, ya’ know?)
Some of us can pre-date even that Smorgy
I think unfff means the sound of a man being kicked in the crotch ??
Haven’t had a chance recently to test that one out.
Ah, if only VK was cast in both roles in that movie I’d be watching it all the time!
Great captures, Eyes. Trying to think what bit of music to use when they do the fly at the front of the ship pose… The Barcarole from Les contes d’Hoffmann? (She can probably sing both parts) Or even the Dome epais from Lakme?
Oh, I don’t know – the original Titanic theme always goes down well !!!!!
As did the Titanic – boom boom ! (Basil Brush)
For anyone unfortunate enough to be unfamiliar with Mr Brush
I used to have a talking Basil Brush as a child – I loved it! “Dirty Gertie from number thirty ! ” or was that Larry Grayson they were both quite camp!
arrrf…
i gonna camp screen here staring at dat 1st photo…
Star gazing is such a pleasant pastime.
arrrf – I tried looking this one up but all I got was some dog adoption agency (yes, really ) so perhaps it is a gutteral exclamation of extreme admiration???
Like “Ding Dong!!”? 😉
Surely you don’t remember Leslie Phillips in Dr in the House etc. ?
Oh Yes a classic ! That’s how the NHS should be ! Nurses in proper starched uniforms and suave doctors in white coats!
You were born in the wrong era
In reference to the … First photo – do you think anyone could persuade the Wackowskis to remake the Matrix ?
OK. Off I went to Google because I know nothing of this subject. All I found was this and none of it makes sense to me. So, embarrassingly, I need and explanation please!
I was thinking of her in the main role as Neo I remembered wrongly – I thought he wore a smart black suit, but I think VK would look equally cool in a long leather coat doing ultimate Kung foo ! His love interest in the film is the uber cool Trinity more leather and dark glasses – now that’s more like it! Sighh ….😏
…. dashes off to search Google images 👀
back to camping here…
and oh yes, a remake please, VK’s Neo to Trinity’s leather and glasses…
Ah – some images which explain the reference. How’s girl get to sleep having just seen those ??
