3rd time's the charm?

I know, I know. Let's just say that I've accepted the fact that I have hopelessly fallen for him. K? 




Okay this isn't the BEST picture of him... but we can appreciate his super cute hair and expert layering abilities when it comes to his clothes.




I don't even know why I love this so much... but I really do. I think he looks like Edward Scissorhands a little bit. Also... the blue shoes with the otherwise pink outfit? Love it. Dah...





I call this one, "Invisible Fruit Snack." You know that someone has to be holding something out in front of him. Also - let's let our eyes wander to that shirt and boondoggle. There's an interview where the camera follows him into his dressing room and his sister hands him this plastic grocery sack and he just plops down indian-style and starts rummaging through it. It's SO adorable because his sister pretty much just does all his shopping for him, and he's SO thrilled as he's pulling out these little trinkets she's gotten for him to put on that precious necklace. There's a little Lollipop figurine, and some voodoo dolls, and other things, and he just pulls each one out and is so thrilled and looks at the camera with his mouth open - SHOCKED and trying to get the cameraman excited about them and he says something to the effect of, "now these are so great because we can just wear some pants and a simple white t-shirt and just put this with it and it really pulls it together" haha. You know he's quoting his sister because he has no idea - he just likes it because he gets to have toys around his neck all the time!





Yeah. Steamy, I know. The hair? Exquisite. The eyes slash facial expression? charming. The biting of the lip? Irresistible.


 


So... I don't really know how I feel about this one. This is from a shoot after an interview he did in Beijing about a month ago, so this is one of the most recent pictures out there. He cut his luscious locks, and it makes him look younger slash older - but mostly younger. Interpret this as you will, but maybe just focus on some of his other looks.




Okay. We've entered a new medium here. Now... I've spent many, MANY hours on youtube, and I must say, this is one of my FAVORITE interviews I've found. I think the reason I love it so much is because it doesn't just talk about the basics (where did you grow up? Oh, so you're half lebanese and half American? oh. So... why did you write Grace Kelly? Are you gay? You sound a lot like Freddie Mercury, has anyone ever told you that?) and it just talks about the fun stuff like, his eccentric clothing choices he had as a child, and good stuff like that. :)  My favorite moment though, I have to say is around 2:07 because, first of all, giving this hyperactive 10 year old boxing gloves and sitting him on an exercise ball (not unlike Dwight Schrute's beloved exercise ball) is a very bad idea. And he just tries so hard to behave himself for so long, but you just KNOW it's coming. oh man. The first time I saw it I literally burst out laughing because it just fits him. Enjoy! :)

Mika, Take II

Okay, let's face it. ONE measly post about Mika is simply not enough. So here is round two in my ongoing series of creepy-obsessed fan posts.



There are just so many captions I could put with this picture! He's obviously thrilled, but what makes him so happy? Perhaps he went to the zoo. This is an actual quote he said in some interview, and I think that this picture captures his elation quite nicely. "They named a baby penguin after me, and then they let me name the other one. So I named her Humphrey even though it was a girl because I think Humphrey is a lovely name"  



This picture says so much. first of all - it illuminates his inner child. LOVE that. My cousin and I have this theory that he's really just a 12 year old stuck inside an adult's body. That would explain a lot. I love the pictures like this, where he's obviously using his overwhelming charm to get something he wants (probably some candy or a new toy).


On a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being an actual african male lion and 1 being a skinny white boy, how much does he look like a male lion in this one? The mane of hair and african cultural beads really help complete the ensemble.



This one further supports my theory that he is twelve. Look how happy he is!!! On a normal man, a face that happy might mean that he just met a hot girl, or just got the biggest promotion of his life, but no! he's in a room full of cartoons and thousands of lollipops, wearing a rocket t-shirt and PLEASE tell me that's a beaded lizard hanging out of his pocket! Again with the innate sense of style...



A watermelon hat? Who could look this good just staring off into space like a stoned retard wearing a WATERMELON HAT?! Mika. That's who.



He obviously knows where it's at. Nuff said.



Yup. He's playing with his suspenders. Once I saw and actual video where he comes out with them over his shoulders (what a nerdy allusion to one of his songs) and then he just slaps 'em off so they're hanging down there like that. Love it.



Ummm... If there was anyone that could channel Michael Jackson and pull it off? It would be him. Let's just hope he doesn't start hanging out with little children... (side story that has nothing to do with this picture but I was reminded when I thought about Mika and little children) *Ahem* As many of you know, I am not the biggest fan of children in general. Now, I'm not a baby hater, but I'm not the type that says, "oh! A baby! Let me hold it!" when some poor young mother walks in the room holding the thing. I pretty much think, "ew. Stop crying and grow up. You're bugging me." So I saw this interview where Mika is talking about how he goes all around the world and sees all sorts of people and he says, "You know, there are some UGLY kids in the world. Sometimes I just want to go up to someone and say, 'Ma'am, your child looks like a cabbage patch doll.' " Isn't that GREAT?! I KNEW we were meant for each other!



Yeah... I don't really get this. I don't know if he had to go to the bathroom or if he was just trying out that move from "A Charlie Brown Christmas" but either way - a pretty hilarious shot. I play this game where I try to guess which song he's singing in a particular picture based only on his body language and facial expression. For this one, I'm gonna go with the "like" from "why don't you LIKE me?" from Grace Kelly. Anybody with me on that one?

The Love of My LIFE!

M-I-K-A. 4 Letters that together, somehow combine to create one of the most colorful artists - NAY - human beings of all time. My love for him has only grown as I've spent countless hours watching youtube videos of interviews and concerts, reading up on the latest gossip, and scrounging the internet for luscious pictures of his awkwardly skinny body. Maybe the next few pictures will help explain this obsession, and may possibly even convert you to the thriving gospel of Mika.
Yeah... did I mention he's a model? Let's take a moment to soak in the beautiful combination of his daddy's American sperm and his mother's Lebanese egg. Did you know such beauty was possible? Yeah. Now add to that beauty and unique British accent with hints of French tendencies (he didn't learn English til he was 9) and you, my friend, have got the epitome of not-so-masculine beauty.

Mmm... going to the Grammy's and lookin' fine. Mr. JT (aka Justin Timberlake) actually beat Mika out for the award (oh the injustic of the world) but we still can appreciate both artists. :)

Suckin' too hard on his lollipop? i think so. Notice red-trimmed suit? His fashion sense is applaudable.

Yeah... this picture is NOT stretched. He truly is the wonderfully skinny man that you see before you. And yes, that's a bright orange cardigan. Could my heart be palpitating any more passionately? I submit that it could NOT!

Anyway... this is just the first installment of what I'm sure will become a long series of Mika pictures. Let me know what you think!
