Ooh, men in capes. I've gone all gooey.
Why are capes sexy? Why?
Oh leave ol Mel alone!! I know I'm not 15 anymore but Braveheart was what started me off on my Mel Gibson craze which poor Lindsey will remember only too well!!! I even confess that I own a copy of the film - quite significant for someone who owns very few others!!!
ooh! ooh! You missed Frank N. Furter! The best cape swisher on film!
Oh gosh, yes! And the suspenders! SUCH legs! And the ability to lounge stylishly. :)
No no, the trump card is definitely David Bowie as the Goblin King in Labyrinth. How could we forget!!! Just been watching selected scenes from the DVD with Becky tonight and he really has a whole wardrobe of capes in that film!!! Shame about the tight fitting leggings though!!
I thought it would be fitting to paste an image here but I can't seem to do that so you'll have to make do with the link instead.
