For the outtakes from this shoot visit here.
You Scots just walk around in that gear, don't you!?
And Thom, how could you never have told me about the lipstick!? We could have had such long and beautiful conversations...
These photos are really funny, but seem a little too contrived (for my taste, that is). Photos are usually more revealing when they catch something sort of on the go, in the moment. Viewers see you in three different modes, but not necessarily three different parts of your personality.
A little bit o' Thomas, a little bit o' Bartholomew, a little bit o' Wong, and a whole lotta class. I dig it. HOLLA.
Oh so many sides to the asian man that there is only one side of you I cannot correspond with.... can you guess which one???
ah ha.
i knew it!! veg-sadist!! this calls for serious revision about your pending admission to the stomach society. the hazelnut and i will have to reconsider...
now if i hadn't looked at the outtakes, i would have had NO IDEA that you're secretly harboring a longing to be a woman. that dress...oih. what a disaster. i understand wanting to highlight your shoulders, but something with little angel capsleeves would work so much better...and my dear boy, i understand that you like the lipstick, but really, that color is all wrong for you, espeically with that dress. something paler, perhaps with a bit of shimmer, and definitely more gloss. now lets work on the eyebrows, darling.
(oh yeah. you ARE a nut. maybe cashew was well chosen, perhaps you shall warrant that name after all, grasshopper)
your plaid is cute, but where the heck is your sporan, man?! and you did add a little something to that coffee, (pronounced cough-fey), yes? a wee drop *ahem-3/4 of the cup* of whiskey...
hilarious, and an excellent vignette into a multifaceted personality - the Iron Chef spin, expressing passion for cooking, out there creativity, glorying in the messiness, exuberance, occasional PG rated violence of it; this is not for sissies. And the vulnerable metrosexual reveal, exposed, the darkness of the room, the element of discovery; and the contemplative scot/eurasian shot, drinking the brew (Irn Bru?), at ease with your identity. Very cool.
second thoughts - you could say that Thom is revealing his Iron Chef passions, sensitive metrosexual side, and contemplative side that embraces his full ethnic identity. Less positive spin: Thom is a closet transvestite axe murderer.
cute pictures! i like the last one from the outtakes. and the bloody one with the cleaver - you should watch your fingers :)
poor cauliflower...to be butchered like that. and there's tobasco sauce in the background waiting to suffocate it.
