Mirror, mirror on the wall...

[kat_lair]

Some while ago, it struck me as fascinating just how many photos of Bandom people there were that featured mirrors in some way or another. I'm sure there is meaningful commentary about the public eye, appearance consciousness of the entertainment industry and exhibitionism somewhere here, but I'm not going to be the one providing it.

Instead, a themed picspam.

Mirror, mirror on the wall...

So there are naturally several legitimate reasons to be staring at one's reflection.

Like putting on make-up. Unsurprisingly, Ryan dominates this category...







Oh GeeWay.




Lol, Halloween?




Checking the hair...

Well, I assume that's what Alex is doing here. Possibly he's inspecting his pores.



Christ, every now and then I forget just how pretty Pete is and then I see a photo and have to swoon anew. More on him later, oh yes.




VickyT is awesome.




Nate checking the do. Also Ryland's face <3




Yes okay, this is a stretch but the mirror is there, look at the bottom left corner. Plus, how could I leave out a photo of Mikey kneeling so prettily? Impossible.




Ryland looks stoned. Vicky looks ready to kick some ass.





Checking out the glad rags... Looking hot, Victoria, looking hot.





Ah, young Ryan and Brendon. Bless. I wrote a drabble based on this photo once *g*





Yes, Gabe. Yes, you are the drunken sailor. Kissy-faces to you too.




Randomly hanging around in dressing rooms and in front of mirrors...




Oh man, this what I call the 'predatory Ways' photo *happy shivers*




Ryland and Alex <3





Wheeeeeeeee!




The glee! It impossible to contain!




Then there are the inevitable self-portraits...




Ryland takes a lot of these. He has a special relationship with his camera.






Oh god, I know. But how could I not include Ryan's twink photo?




Remember that time Pete dressed up as Fever era!Ryan and held a giant tulip in a way that wasn't suggestive at all? No? Well, luckily he took a picture of himself in the mirror...




And remember that time Pete was a sleazy pimp showing off his two pretty (and pretty expensive) twinks? Oh yeah, me too :D





Another good reason for mirrors: parallel universes. Okay, so it's a stretch but it is within the theme of the picspam. Sort of.




Let's finish this picspam with some gorgeous photos featuring gorgeous people. And mirrors.

Gabe's smile. Gabe's hipbones. This is one of my favourite photos of him, hands down.




This is close second but for slightly different reasons. Mainly because I like to wonder what is happening just out of frame there... *g*




Pete seems to like mirrors behind his bed. I approve so hard.



I also like to imagine that's Patrick's hat he's wearing to emote shirtless in bed.




Why so sad, Victoria? Why so sad and so pretty?






Okay, so Ryland is my favourite Cobra for many reasons, some which include woolly hats, and some which have a lot to do with his pretty eyes. Love, love this photo and the angle and how the mirror is used.




And I'm going to finish off with a photo that perfectly summarises my fondness for slutty rentboy exhibitionist!Pete. Unf.





If you have any photos to add to the theme, I would be delighted to see them :)
