"Effects" Part 1: Boots

With regards to the lovely Captain Jack Sparrow, we have compiled a post of infinite proportions all about accessories - so infinite that it will have to be a series of posts! Yes, our first series! It is with a heavy heart that we return to this project, because we lost our original draft. We hope to make it better and still retain its awesomeness at the same time.

Now, as we mentioned earlier, we dedicate this series to the man who immortiaized accsessorizing: none other than Captain Jack Sparrow! As he said, "Not without my effects!"(click and go to 0:24) From his bejeweled dredlocks to his classic pirate boots; from his infamous hat to his magical compass - it's undeniable that the good Cap'n knows how to accessorize! Because of his shining example, we have created this series of posts to salute all men whose "effects" greatly "affect" us! Our first entry? Boots!

Of course, it would be a shame not to begin with the man himself - Cap'n Jack!

Check Jack out here - not only does he have the garb and accessories down, but he has mastered the ATTITUDE, which is essential for a complete look! Work it!

Rio thought it would be quite fun to add a childhood memory to the list: Prince Derek from The Swan Princess!

Rio has always wondered how one is supposed to bend in such high boots, but she concedes that said boots are EXTREMELY stylish and hopes that someday, when her prince comes, he will have awesome boots like these.

Returning briefly to the pirate theme . . . Will Turner!!!

Awww, poor Will needs help getting his stylish footwear back! See, that's just how important the right accessories are - women will flock to you and steal them! Great job, Will - brilliant!!! (Rio greatly desires to add a comment about the hotness of Will's bandana, but is forcing herself to refrain until a later entry.)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Vi and I have been discussing the pro's and con's of James Marsden as of late. Poor guy - almost every movie we've seen him in, he either dies, gets dumped, or both! :( Well, maybe being included in our blog will cheer him up. :D

Alright, alright, so the poofy sleeves are a bit much. But the boots are cool! And he appears to have great balance!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Come now, do you really think that Rio could endure a post without mentioning William Moseley?! Perish the thought!

Sure, it's not the greatest shot of Will (aka: Peter), but it's a great shot of his boots! (Kudos to the brilliant mind at http://www.narniaweb.com/ who came up with the caption "Behold his majesty's mighty boots!")~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Vi also cannot survive an entry without making mention of a certain Scottish hottie, who just happens to play a certain infamous, masked man!

Ah, yes, the Phantom's sense of style is undeniable indeed! And he even keeps his boots shiny! SWOON! Lovely lovely lovely! He has all of the perfect accessories here!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Our final focus of the day is none other than Hugh Jackman! (That'd be the hottie on the left!) Vi tells me that Kate and Leopold is a fabulous movie that I simply MUST watch sometime! I have recently introduced her to X-Men (all 3!), so we are both on a bit of a HJ kick! Ha ha - kick! Boots! Hee hee....hee hee....hee...........................hey, laugh! It was funny! :P ;)

Hugh Jackman is amazing and Australian... need I say more?~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Do you understand what we mean now by "awesome effects?!" We hope so, and we hope your...uh..."education" has been....pleasant....... ;) :D Stay tuned for even more effects coming soon!
