Celebrate! Celebrate! Dance to the mu-sic! Oh, Lord, does that song date me! But 500 is definitely worth celebrating! Congrats all! =I'm= not stopping you Laura, just go with The Madness! =I= want to join in! Move over, honey! Cheryl: Was waiting for my daily fix, and there you were! Many a fervid thanks I send your way!

Its raining men hallejuia it raining men oh yeah. go walk out the door don't look around cause your not comin' anymore. I WILL SURVIVE!!!!!! Rock me gently rock me slowly take it easy don't you know that I have never been loved like this before. do you think Colin likes Disco?

disco...I think I'm going to be ill...

No Cheryl you can't be ill, shall I give you some wine, indeed you look ill. Oh well I tried. I happen to like Disco thank you.

do you think Colin likes Disco? Oh, Laura, you can be assured he does...check out Dutch Girls (from Kathleen Elder by loan, if you local video store doesn't have it), and see our boy as a youth doin' the disco thang.... Cheryl; Oh honey! There's nothing subtle about that! For which I am profoundly grateful! ;-) You bad girl, you beat me to it! Anne; I do believe that "doing the Bingley Thing' is destined to become a part of P&Pspeaque. I have officially opened the Dom perignon and I have poured 500 glasses come and get it!!!!! Laura, pass me glass; in fact, pass me two (one to pour over my head so that I'm wet, the other to quaff.) (This entry is sponsored by Kathleen's Video Rentals. Our motto; 'We take an eager interest in fulfilling your video fantasies.')

Mari -- I do appreciate your giving me a motto! (I do not believe I have ever had one before.) And, for what do we live but to fantasize w/ our P&P2 friends and laugh at the nonbelievers. (Bad paraphrase, I know, I know.) And Laura, I'll just take a glass of that Dom Perignon. Thank you. Let the celebration continue.

ROTFLOL! and ROTFLOL! Uh huh, uh huh! Laura!!! Gotta love it. Your recall is bettah than mine. Afraid I was of the Disco era, too. Mostly cringed whenever I remembered that, but the other nite Travolta was on again in Saturday Night Fever, and (tho it's dated) DANG he was fine! I'll take a glass of the (non-alky) bubbly--know you've got some for me! Me? I'm going with the Madness, doing a little dance, getting down tonight...

Okay, okay. Not saying the sunlight thru his shirt =isn't= erotic, just that, in comparison to other WET, Less Clothed scenes, it's quite tame, and more subtle in that it's not 'in your face.' Gee, just seem to be digging myself in deeper. I quit. Gotta go do some Dancing, Dancing...Celebrate, Celebrate...dance to the mu-sic!

I knew someone out there had to like disco. What is the world coming to when there is no Bee Gees around.

there you all are! for some reason, i temporarily lost this part of the drool conference, as well as the JN drool. the two don't seem to come up when i hit the drool conference button (only lists 'rupert graves' on down_. so i had to look you all up in 'forgotten' . (can someone please tell me what's wrong?) welcome to the newcomers! (i'm winter, and that's not my real name. i'm incognito at the moment due to some complications with my real name being used over the internet). anyway, i got both darcy's story AND the making of P&P in the mail within 2 days of each other this past week! the drooling ceases to end! i especially like the interview with colin firth (making of P&P) as well as the cast photos of everyone without costume/make-up. had no idea that the actresses who play mrs. gardiner and georgiana darcy are real-life mother and daughter!

Laura: What is the world coming to when there is no Bee Gees around. Why, it will be a much more genteel and refined place, of course!

I offer this token in an effort raise the thoughts of our disco-indoctrinated sisters to a higher plain...the drool plain...;-)

Thank you Cheryl - what a nice drool object - slobber, slobber!! And thank you for getting us out of that disco - Ugh!! Colin likes jazz, doesn't he??

The truth about this disco-indoctrinated sistah, is that I was never really into it. Oh, liked the occasional song--some lyrics couldn't help but stick, but classical was more my thing, yes, an element of the more refined society we so aspire to inhabit. Oooo Cheryl, never saw that one of CF! Drool-worthy, indeed! BTB, was this the topic where a possible LBS was discussed?

Why, it will be a much more genteel and refined place, of course! AMEN, Cheryl!

Winter, you must have hit the "forget" button by mistake. The way it's supposed to work is that you should not be seeing the remember button now. After you hit it, it is supposed to "rebecome" the forget button. But mine sticks. Another pesky bug.

The biggest problem I have with disco is its association to the seventies and everythink icky in it. Some of the music taken by itself was not that bad. I used to love "Last Dance." Donna Summer?

Kwim on the icky Amy, though what particular icky might you be referring too. BTB, CF is of the disco era, might be the tail end of it, but that's where he grew up, being 36 and all. Thanks Mari.

Disco or otherwise, our reason for celebrating had everything to do with our Drool topic, eh Laura! ;-D Stack shoes, and all!

Mari: Thanks for the compliment for the "Bingley thing", I'm trying to make a positive contribution to this wonderful society! Laura: I also like some disco, but I keep having this Colin tango fantasy everytime I hear Bryan Adams' To Really Love A Woman. Is it getting warmer in here???? Air conditioning in March, "Happy thought indeed!!!"

I cannot imagine our dearest grooving to disco, thank god.

Cheryl where do you get these pics! That one was wonderful. I feel like such an ingenue. Darcy was my first exposure to the man. You seem to have a whole library of him. Valen and Laura-Do you think CF can shake his groove thing?????????

Andrea, you too can have a whole library of Colin! Visit the Friends of Firth, I shamelessly steal from them all the time! ;-)

I don�t know if this is the right topic, but there is a question that I just have to ask, and this is the place where everybody is hanging around. Perhaps it is the right place because in a way it is about drooling. Darcy�s drooling over Lizzy. In a couple of scenes, for example the sweet little walk at Pemberley when Darcy asks Lizzy if he�s allowed to introduce his sister to her - the sun is shining right through Lizzy�s dress. You can see her legs when she�s walking. It�s the same i some other scenes. And I wonder (not if Darcy likes it...) was that proper in that time? Didn�t the girls wear petticoats? I know that someone out there can answer me

]CF shake his groove thing?????? ROTFLOL! (Oooo, someone else knows disco!) Dunno, honey, but shakes =my= groove thing! PS. Our Tall Proud One shakes it pretty finely in Mr. Somebody's Maggot though! Such superior dancing! Such a stately bearing! I am all atwitter, or is that twitter-pated?

Colin definitely shakes his groove thang. No I have not seen Dutch Girls but wouldn't mind seeing it. Kathleen???

Is chat down?

Valen, it is not down at the moment, try again. It just takes a while to get Inn

Laura: No I have not seen Dutch Girls but wouldn't mind seeing it. Kathleen??? Laura -- email me with your address. I'll send it ASAP.

Laura: No I have not seen Dutch Girls but wouldn't mind seeing it. Kathleen??? Laura -- email me with your address. I'll send it ASAP.

Kathleen - me, too, after Laura and anyone else. Actually, mid-April is better for me - I'll be busy or away for part of the time till then. Thanks!

I love all the new pics. Hey Tracy either way would be ok I can tape it or you can. Where do you live?

Guys, let's not talk about violating copyright here. Do it, I don't care. Must make the arrangments in email.

Colin and I are the same age (wow! he's in the same sentence with me!) so the disco thing was prevalent as "we" were teenagers growing up (although I don't know whether disco was as prevalent in England)...couldn't escape some of the music and shaking that groove thang! I'd love to see that movie! I concur with all drooling comments, past, present and future! I get a rush of adrenaline just thinking of, reading about and looking at Colin (especially the latter). I'm happy to share *him* with all of you!

Milady Cheryl, where's my daily fix??? No need for contraband, any smouldering look with do... ;-)

More specificially, Milady Cheryl, my Daily Darcy Fix? I beg you, please consent to my request...

Valen, for your viewing pleasure (sorry, not Darcy!), but very nice all the same!!

One more try!

Valen: Milady Cheryl, my Daily Darcy Fix? Ok, have you seen this one? ;-)

No, and it's lovely. I love that cocked leg pose. {{Cheryl}}

Colin and his brother Jonathan, pictured in the British Cosmo magazine:

Don't remember that picture from P&P - maybe it was a trial for costuming, because he never wore his cravat like that! Here's an ad for the upcoming "Fever Pitch"

And, finally, a detail from the ad.

Inko -- wonderful, just marvelous!!

Odd photo from cosmo - he looks kind of pale and bleary eyed. Fever pitch looks great. Is April 4 the US release date?

I don't no when the release date is for FP ,but he sure does look great!

Those legs just go on forever... :)

Cheryl, that #541. He does look awfully stern.

Wow, Inko! How very different from our Darcy he looks! I like the blue jeans though...April 4 release date, that's just in the UK, right? Anyone heard when it will be released here in the States or on the TV? Anyone know any details about this?

oh, what a cutie!

Did I miss this one?

Who was it who wondered if they would like Mark Strong bald? He's in the red shirt next to CF in # 552. (They don't look much like Darcy and Knightley there, do they?!)
