Bel Ami Book Club — Chap. 1-3… Um, when does the sexing start again?

SPOILER ALERT!!! If you are not reading or planning to read Bel Ami book or script, then do not read this post or the comments. We are reading Bel Ami together and I want everyone to feel free to discuss openly. You should join us if you haven’t already! Go and catch up!!

This is my fault. I have clearly read way too much fan fiction and the way everyone was talking about this book, I thought all the sex would start right off the bat. Alas, I was wrong. ::sigh::

But that is okay. Because the book is not too bad. I like the build up of showing how down on his luck George Duroy is,

Was I the only one that pictured Duroy exactly like this, except with a mustache?!?

really a man at the bottom until he runs into his old friend and finds this whole other world. It’s almost like this little door is opened, and at this point, Duroy is just kinda peeking through. He has not turned into this guy that I know we can expect later on.

Right now, to me, Duroy is completely likable. Good looking, trying to make it, even sweet when it comes to handling the little girl, Laurine, at the dinner party. I totes had this picture of Rob holding a little girl and planting a little kiss on her forehead and I died! I have a thing for Daddy Rob, and I hope we get to see that in the movie, for sure.

I can’t figure out Madame Foriestier’s game, but inviting a man she barely knows, writing the article, smoking and wearing essentially a night gown? Hmmm… me thinks we may see something between her and Duroy as we read. In fact, I got kind of excited reading this chapter cause I really thought this was gonna be the beginning of it all, but it wasn’t. Just a big fat tease. Boo!

So far, I am having no issue picturing Rob in this role. With the few descriptions we’ve had so far of George, Rob does sound like a really good fit. Especially here in the beginning, when he seems very shy and self-depreciating. Many of the things he says, I can picture Rob’s face exactly. I’m not sure what the ’stache is gonna look like, and as much as I hate to say it, if that part of the book goes away, I wouldn’t be angry. I hate mustaches. Like bunches. But it is not a deal breaker. No way. Not like jorts or man-pris.

And since a book club isn’t a club without some discussion, get on down to the comments and let me know what you think so far. P.S. If you have read ahead (I almost did, but wrote this first!), then don’t talk about future happenings. Let us experience them together all at the same time! :)

Super Special Note…

If you are as excited as me about the movie Bel Ami, then you need to be checking out Bel Ami Film. This is an unofficial, fan-run site for the movie, and these ladies are doing a kick ass job of staying on top of everything about the film. Follow them on Twitter for all the latest! The site is not a spoiler-free zone, but they do a pretty good job of giving fair warning on the tweets, so if you are like me and haven’t read the script, you should be okay!

Saturday Robbie Video Goodness!

Yeah! It’s like all the video makers woke up and decided to make Rob videos again. And all is right in the world once more. I got 5, count them, FIVE for you this beautiful Saturday!! Enjoy starting your weekend off right!

Robert Pattinson // Cry me a river

Although I feel a bit creepy cause EmilyLovesTwilight09 threw some little kid Rob pics in there, overall this one is pretty good. I love the overlay of the biting quote, cause that one gets me all kinds of excited. Oh yeah!

Robler Keeps Us Going as We Count Down the Days!

The countdown continues….

I’m not too sure how much more of this I can handle before March 12, 35 more days of my inpatient waiting and oogling over ever little screen shot and bit of news that comes out about Remember Me. And, lookie, lookie… more screen shots from the movie. I am loving all the different Rob looks as well! Gah, still dying over here.

Why do they look so angry? Is it because Robler refuses to help her get the bike off the wall? Maybe she’s pissed that it’s March and the damn Christmas lights are still up? Or maybe they are both thinking about the time they took their collie to the State Fair to get old timey pictures done? We will never know (at least not until March 12).

I got my hands in my pockets. You got your hands in your pockets. We are two cool dudes with hands in our pockets. What’s next?

I know Robler! I, too, do not believe this little girl is old enough to be tackling Greek myths. Have you read those things? Oh, no wait… Little Ruby is trying to figure out what the hell is up with Robler’s sweatshirt, cause it is fugly. It does look soft though…

Dude, you know chicks dig musicians, right? I mean, seriously…. those veins in your arms are about to burst.

I want to comment on the fact that Rob missed the last button on the shirt, or the fact that he is carrying a murse, or even how disgusting the apartment walls seem to be. But instead, I am distracted by some weird ass poster. What the hell is that?!?

And the countdown continues….

Super awesome source for the pics!

What is the Deal with Details?

So this mystery shoot for Details magazine is out there, and I am kind of dying to know what the hell is going on in these

Oh, are you being a bad boy in the Details shoot? I sooooo hope so! ;)

pics. Three days ago, when we heard about the shoot, we heard it was a bit provocative.

Now there are these crazy, very much NOT confirmed details about the Details shoot. Like, these are pretty much rumors from Twitter and can and should not be taken too seriously. But hey, we can all dream, can’t we…

Rob details pic nude model is on her knees-hand on Rob’s stomach & tugging on rob’s unzipped pants lookin up at him & he’s touchin her face. 32 minutes ago from web

Uh… what? Not only will ever banner ever made for fan fiction need to be updated accordingly to include this picture, someone will also to have to supply Rob with some jeans with a zipper. We all know he is a button fly man.

..rob’s hands on model’s boobs, model holding on to his shoulder with back arched, dazzled/ecstacy face. Still not confirmed will c-Feb 23rd about 2 hours ago from web

First off, if this is true, I will never have been more jealous of a model in my life.

Please let Rob's "o" face also be included! PLEASE!

The best part for her? The “ecstacy face” was most likely not a lick of acting. Cause trust, if that man was holding my boobs, well, there would be no need for acting.

rpattz details pic 1)outdoors shower?rob standin nude girl on knees in front of him tuggin on jeans 2)rob sittin on chair nude girl on lap.. about 2 hours ago from web

I’m guessing these are just slightly more descriptive of the background of the first two tweets. Hello? An outdoors shower? Does this mean Rob will be wet while having his pants pulled on by the model? Cause my goodness, if so, I’m gonna need to buy multiples of this magazine and have at least one laminated for “future” use.

Are you ladies as eager as me for this one?!? Of course you are, cause we are all pervs together. C’mon Details… give us some DETAILS!!

Robler is Kicking into Full Gear!

March 12 is sneaking up fast and furious, and before we know it, all of the wait will be over and we’ll be sitting the theaters, watching Remember Me and being able to barely catch our breaths. Personally, I can’t wait! More news is coming out everyday, and these stills just made my Monday. Plus, it’s like they tell little stories all on there own, outside the movie. They speak to me, and I think I’m gonna have to transcribe for you!

I’m kinda disgusted by the drinking of the protein shake outta the blender pitcher, but not as much as I am by Rob AKA Tyler’s lack of socks with black shoes and no shirt under his sweatshirt. What sport are they playing in those shoes any way? They really provide no support for the arch. And is that a male mannequin? If so, why does it have it’s dick in a box?

I always forget to do these things until the last second — FF Recs by @KStew411

It’s terrible. Poor Amber, always having to put up with my late submissions. I need an alarm to go off at like noon on Mondays to remind me to start my rec’s for the week before it’s too late on Monday night. Note to self–set fanfic alarm. I’m stuck in a bit of a fic rut right now. I have over seventy favorites stories, yet lately it seems like none of them are updating. So I am looking for new stories. The problem is, I don’t find many I feel like favoriting. I hate it when I find a story I like but there are so many typos and grammatical errors that I just can’t look past it. That’s happened a lot lately. I also hate it when I get a story and it’s going along and I’m digging it and then, BAM, it becomes a Bella/Jacob story. I hate Bella/Jacob stories. Bella and Jacob is a horrible lie. I am in no way Team Jacob. I do like stories that use Jacob in creative ways, such as casting him as Edward’s best friend or some such, I just can’t support long-term Bella/Jacob happiness in fanfic. Twilight is not about Bella and Jacob. It’s about Edward and Bella. Anyway, on the rec’s. I actually do have a little plan for the next few weeks of what I’m rec’ing. I finally got around to reading a few stories I’ve had on hold forever, and some that I picked up when they just started out have built up enough chapters that I feel good about rec’ing. And in a couple cases, I’ve just gotten sick of waiting for last chapters/epilogues. So I am clearing out the backlog of rec’s. Everything must go!

A Betting Man” by mybluesky

This is one of those stories I picked up when there were just three chapters and I gave it some time to see how it would go. Now fourteen chapters in, this is one of my favorite WIP stories. I get excited when it updates because I can’t wait to see where it goes next. This story gives us a seriously manwhorish Edward. It opens up with Bella and James splitting up–after two months of not putting out, James unceremoniously dumps Bella. While out with her friends, Rosalie and Jacob, shortly thereafter, Jacob overhears a conversation in the men’s room of the club. James has just bet his friend Edward Cullen that Edward can’t get Bella Swan to sleep with him in two weeks. Edward takes the bet.

Ugh! I know, right? So gross.

Never fear–Edward isn’t totally without conscience. He’s just handsome and rich and spoiled. He doesn’t have to work for girls, so he doesn’t take James’s bet seriously, thinking it will be no problem to get one of James’s tarts to sleep with him. But then he meets Bella and realizes she isn’t James’s usual type. As for Bella, she is fully aware of what Edward is doing, thanks to Jacob’s warning, but she decides to play along to both punish him for his arrogance and also because she needs a date to Jake’s wedding in two weeks. So when Edward approaches her she accepts his invitation for a date, thinking if she can tolerate him for two weeks she’ll be set for the wedding. Kind of a thin plot point, but this story is more humor than angst, so I’ll roll with it. Meanwhile she has Rosalie and Jake egging her on, and when Edward’s best friend Emmett joins the fray, Bella sets about toppling Edward’s orderly OCD world. As for Edward, he does have moments of self-loathing, especially as he gets to know Bella and realizes she’s not like the usual skanks he dates. This story is all about the unresolved sexual tension as Bella resists Edward so he won’t win his bet, and Edward begins backing away from Bella because maybe he doesn’t want to win it, either. There are pockets of heaviness, especially in the last chapter where drunk Bella flat-out calls Edward out on his bad behavior toward women. But generally this story is a funny, sassy battle of the sexes. I’ve been enjoying it immensely the last couple of months, and I think you will, too.

There is another one waiting for you after the jump… Read more »

Bel Ami Book Club anyone?

So, my good friend Jen (aka MyRobPattinson) informed all of the Twitter world that Bel Ami is actually a free downloadable book on Google Books. I know, right? I could have read this thing a hella long time ago had a known this.

I’ve been waiting forevs to read this book and was gonna dive right in, but then I thought about it for a second. Maybe you all could take a pause from all the fan fiction and read with me. Why? 1) Cause I am gonna need friends to read it with me, 2) I need other people to read everything with Rob in mind so we can die a little,; and 3) If I don’t have someone making me, then I’ll end up veering back off in FF land and really, I need to read a real book every once and awhile.

Here is my plan, I’m aiming for 3 chapters a week. Then I’ll come on here on Monday and talk about it with you ladies. Now, I’m not looking for the atypical book club type questions. I want to react to not only the story in general, but also what we want to see Rob take to the screen from it.

Next Monday starts the 1st 3 chappys. Click on that link up there and start reading and let’s read a real (non-Twilight) book together, kay?

Hotness with a side of funny!

Today’s Saturday is a wee bit hot with a side of some funny! Little light on videos this week, since YouTube was overrun with videos of Rob on Hope for Haiti. But I hope you dig the ones I did find!

Robert Pattinson – 2010 pt1 // So Bad

This video is so very bad ass. Sexy as hell fo sho! Plus, patty13Mai even got a couple of the EW outtakes in there already. Hot damn! Momma like.

.:Robert Pattinson:.{Ura Fever}{100% HOT}{Dedications in the box!}

I know I posted a vid already that used this song, and honestly it may have been this video. Either way, it’s super sexy and way too short. Nice work missidcullen!

Vampires are basically a sport

Not anything fan made, but this just makes me giggle. I think this may be what TheShagDaddy is like at work with all the other dudes he works with.

EW Rob is Keeping Me Warm Tonight!

Holy shit balls! So, we are in the middle of some nasty ice/snow/rain storm and I’ve been freezing all day. Of course, that was until I looked at these HAWT outtakes of Rob from the last EW shoot. It’s not all the pics, just my faves, but my goodness. If you are in a part of the world where you are just a wee bit chilly, let Rob warm you up. Yum!

Source for these fuckawesome pics: Delaney

Sorry for the quick and dirty. I was slightly worried about my power going out. Still am, a little. But all these pics should satisfy you, at least for today! :)

What Would Stacey & Clinton Do?

Don’t you hate when you hear about a new picture of Rob and you eagerly click the link and then… ::shudder::

Now, I’m not saying he should be dressing like a male model, cause we all know him dressing like a man who is about to be arrested for illegally panhandling at the on ramp of an interstate is a big reason why we love him. But, being the big fan of What Not to Wear, I gotta think that Stacey & Clinton have GOT to be dying to get their hands on the Robster.

So I did a little of the research for them. While I do not ever want to see him on this show cause I dig the hobo ways and I do not want them touching the hair, I wouldn’t mind them tossing some of the outfits I’ve seen right into their little trash can, then setting that can on fire (just to guarantee Rob doesn’t go digging for it later in the dumpster).

I submit to you all..

My 5 worst Rob outfits EVER! Yes, these are the outfits that make me go, “Eh, maybe I wouldn’t do him today.” #shocker

I could have gone and posted far more, but many of them were early in the career and I am trying to give Rob the benefit of the doubt. So, let’s have some fun and link up the outfits you’d like to see Stacey & Clinton burn!
