Orlando Bloom is yummy. No, seriously - he's a babe and a half. It took me a while to realize this, since in my opinion, that blond elfy hair just does not suit him at all. He is far, far more enticing with his own dark coloring.

Now, Troy looks to me to be a wonderfully wanky cheesefest (Brad Pitt as Achilles? Please!), but I'm definitely not going to miss it, if for nothing else for the sight of Orlando in those long dark curls and that made-for-undoing leather armor and silk chitons and that hot-to-the-touch tan...*sweats profusely*

*ahem* Where was I? Oh yeah...I saw this pic today and have spent more time than I would have thought mesmerized by it. And got inspired to make this wallpaper, to commemorate pretty Paris and his bratty IwantIwantIwant tantrum undying eternal stalker obsession true love.

The text is by H.D., a poetess whose writing was heavily inspired by the ancient Greeks, including Homer and Sappho. In this verse, she describes Paris's first glimpse of Helen on the battlements of Troy, the woman given to him by the Goddess of Love.
