Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy in BBC Pride and Prejudice » Episode 6
“Every single film since (Pride and Prejudice) there’s been a scene where someone goes,’Well I think you’ve just killed Mr Darcy’. But he is a figure that won’t die. He is wandering somewhere. I can’t control him. I tried to play with it in Bridget Jones. I’ve never resented it: if it wasn’t for him I might be languishing, but part of me thinks I should do this postmodern thing, change my name by deed poll to Mr Darcy. Then people can come up to me and say, ‘But you are not Mr Darcy’ which would be different. I dare say it will be my saving grace when the only employment available to me is opening supermarkets dressed in breeches and a wig.”“I dare say it will be my saving grace when the only employment available to me is opening supermarkets dressed in breeches and a wig.”
I just….or like radio stations start having Win-A-Date-With-Darcy events down at your local used-car dealership.
“Pick up in aisle me.” “Can you squeeze these melons and tell me which ones are ripe?” “Paper, Plastic or how about bagging me?” Oh, Mr. FirthDarcy, don’t speak so soon.

Thank you, sweetcheeks!! Your kindness fills my bosom with Lydia-and-a-countful-of-soilders levels of happiness.
Your photoshop-disaster-thank you:
I really don’t know where these ideas come from most of the time. But don’t all great artists say that, REALLY? Take a cue, Oldenburg. Step aside, Damien Hirst. I’m entitling this one “Deep Thoughts in a Bathtub with Gold Self no. 7”

wahHO! This is hands down one of the nicest tumblr messages I have ever received. Thank you ever so much for your kindness! Each of you rock my wool stockings off. I hope you know that.
Okay, now for the main attraction, photoshop disaster thank yous. Here is an olympic-themed gem to wet your whistle (and then some):
That’s right. English chaps in American mankinis. Why? Because that is how Masterpiece Theatre rolls. God bless the U S of A.

For some people, The Wet Shirt, is the definitive moment in Pride and Prejudice (1995), for others it’s The Look in the Music Room. But this is what did it for me: The Tan Breeches Moment, or that point in which Colin Firth overcame the difficulties of wearing historically accurate trousers in a costume drama and found a way to make the Regency Camel Toe drop dead sexy.
nothing says true love like regency camel toe and a backlit empire waist gown.
You know what tomorrow is, right?

Gettin’ off my high horse to go say hi to Lizzy and—oh hey Wickham on second thought maybe I’ll just ride away to stop myself from punching you in the teeth.
