Tall, Dark and Handsome

Flipping through the university's quarterly magazine, my eyes were
immediately drawn to this guy! Hey...I know this guy!
Yep, my oldest. Just look at him...why wouldn't they use him
as a model for some photographs? And yes, he did
say it was staged. He's only been in the library
twice in two years and one was for this photo session.
I used to go there for a quiet place to study.
But then, I lived in the dorms. ha.

    They had to use him as a model. They obviously can't afford professional models. They can't even afford chairs!

    Yes, he is definitely tall, dark and handsome, Betsy. It certainly doesn't look like a staged photo ..he looks so intent!

    hahaha, I guess the library isn't what it used to be for Higher Ed. I know the one at the college I work at is looking to reduce it's collection of books and increase computer and study space. He's a handsome guy, no doubt about it. :)

    That is amazing. Maybe they were just looking for a good looking guy. Has he gotten any other calls to model? LOL. He might have a new calling.

    Finally the library is used for something more than collecting dust
    Agree with the Fox no chairs is a bust
    Are they really that cheap
    Making one sit on the floor to take a peep
    Wow three books at once too
    That takes talent to do..lol

    He is, indeed, tall, dark and handsome!

    Do you have some fond memories of the dorms?

    Silly men ~
    Chairs aren't in the aisles
    To reach the books would be a trial!
    No, there are nice study areas around
    and cushy furniture does abound.

    alaine ~ fond memories? Oh sure...I mean, you can't live in the dorms for four years without some memories! hahaha.

    Yeah, right, like we were SERIOUS... :)

    On the other hand, chairs could be useful in the aisles. Not everyone is as tall as your son.

    If three or more people had commented on "no chairs," I would have written "all of us." Then you'd really be scared that there was some unholy alliance going on, huh? Then you'd be using your chairs at home to barricade your doors!

  17. Betsy BrockJune 23, 2011 at 11:15 PM

    LOL!!! Then I would have been saying "Oh, come on, people!" It's about Taylor, not the lack of chairs! Geesh!" :)

    And here I was, thinking that Taylor was heroically calling attention to the college's budgetary woes...

    ha. No, but if you'd like to contribute to his tuition, he'd appreciate it. ha. Can you believe $700 per credit hour?

    Yes, even in my former high school where I worked, they have systematically removed most of the books from the library as kids use computers and don't read books. I hung out in the library a lot to get away from the dorm closet that I shared with someone else.

    L.D. ~ dorm closet...that's a good way of putting it! With cardboard walls, right?

    That is pretty cool and he surely is handsome! That happened to my son once, he took our Golden in with him to get some Sr. pictures taken and they put him and the dog in the pamplets for a few years! ;D

    And well if you can get them into the library once its better than no time at all.

    Betsy he is very handsome indeed .. and his photo in the university magazine will certainly be a draw card to entice the young female uni students into the library...to do a little more study!!

    Sounds a little like my son who managed a degree without looking at much more than the dust jacket.

    What a nice shot - and it helped himfind the library! Maybe he can pay his bills with a little more modeling.

    He might have a new career in his future. Library time in college was a totally social time for me, but then again, I was an art major!

    Nice picture! All of your boys are handsome! The "no chairs" comments made me laugh, because I will say that one of my first thoughts was why he'd study in that crowded place on the floor. :)

    bothsides ~ yes, and my first thought was that he was way too tall to squish into that spot. Obviously he isn't claustrophobic. ha.
