Gosh, doesn't Margaret Lockwood icon beautifully! Nice work. And that is a preposterously young James Maxwell. :) A very nice Hattie Jacques, too. Don't see nearly enough of her.

[thisbluespirit]

She does! Thank you. I started out iconing by doing masses of Carry On icons, but I've had to delete them since. I should make some more again, because they're always such fun to do.

And, heh, no, that isn't a preposterously young James Maxwell, this is a preposterously young James Maxwell:




(Sorry, it's just that I feel the need to repost/reblog that every so often just to remind myself of the miracle that is the internet - which just happened to have James Maxwell's college yearbook online.)

[swordznsorcery.livejournal.com]

Jeepers! Yes, that is definitely a young James Maxwell! Dig the bow tie. :)

[thisbluespirit]

:-D It's the sort of bow tie only Eleven would appreciate! But, heh, he is ridiculously young there, because he went to uni at 16, so he's still only about 20 in the yearbook pic. Don't know what they did to him, but he hated academia ever after...

[swordznsorcery.livejournal.com]

Can't be easy being at uni that young. Probably had pushy parents too. They make more allowances now, as there's more younger people going through higher education, but it was very rare then. I imagine he worked very hard as a kid, and later regretted having missed out on things.

Got to admit though, I'm a little envious! And only slightly because I am bow-tie-less. ;)

[thisbluespirit]

That's what I think - and he started in 1945 and graduated in 1949; there must have been students returned from army service, upping the age gap, I'd imagine, too. Apparently his mother died when he was 15 and his father remarried when he was 17, so there was enough going on to cause any teenager to wind up hating that time. But who knows? Maybe he simply didn't want to end up as a college professor like his father. I do hope sometime I find an interview with him - there must be one somewhere, I'm sure!

Aw. Maybe you'll get a bow-tie for Christmas?? ;-)

Oh, very good:) Nice, moody Hattie Jacques:). And you have new people too!!

[thisbluespirit]

Thank you! And, yes, gosh, what happened there? I can't have that! ;-)

These are so, so awesome! I'm loving the quotes, the marvelous OUat icons - and the Missy one! She looks like she is ready to bite someone with Joy, lol!

*HUGS*

[thisbluespirit]

Ha, that is a perfect description of that pic of MIssy! And thank you. ♥
