In light of Tuesday's Armitage lovefest post, I thought it only right to point you to this little gem today. I love it so much I want to hug it. It's not long, but it's guaranteed to brighten your day. Thanks to Larissa for the link!

Those devils! JT and FD are rather similar, aren't they? My heart belongs to Thornton, however, and his many coloured cravats.
