Welcome to the Bearded Side, Judiang

For those of you who have not heard, Judiang has given way to the bearded side of Richard Armitage. Welcome to the Bearded Side Judiang! Now in all honesty I, too, was one that never did like the beard. Even when photos of Richard at Comic-Con last year were coming out with his beard in place, I really wasn't all too happy with it, but I loved the stubble.

Now and I put the "blame" on Thorin, and the recent pictures, I have gone and liked Richard with a beard. I think this one may have been from last year but with my new found appreciation of the beard, pardon me while I go drool and *thud* and wanting to kiss his perfectly framed lips.

Okay, I'm back. Now where was I? Oh yes! "Blaming" Thorin for my new found love of the beard. When you are as majestic as Thorin is I guess that to admire him is only natural.

So here I am now loving Richard with stubble beard and also clean shaven. I bet he is happy not having to shave his face and wax his chest. His chest hair is another post I'll get to later.

His Adokableness and Kermit the Frog

What can I say I think the title of the post says it all. Richard, his Adorkableness, is just so adorable, cute and sexy all at the same time. This is from when he did a GO POP interview in Australia last week with Kermit the Frog or " Kermy" as Miss Piggy would say. I must say I am a sucker for both of them.

Munchable Monday #2 :Beer is the Secret to Growing a Beard

According to a newspaper interview Richard said that "Beer, lot's of beer. Beer to grow a beard". I for one think the quote may be tongue and cheek because Richard, to my knowledge at least, drinks just red wine. But if he did drink some beer for help with the beard...more power to him.

GO POP: Full Interview with Richard Armitage

I really don't know who the hosts are, but I think the female host name is Sophie. The guy reminds of Hugh Laurie after an all-weekend frat party binge and Sophie is such a lucky woman that I envy her. She had Richard help her dwarf walk and he helped by putting his hands on her hips. That is a dream for us in the Armitage Army can only dream of. Here we are all lined up for that magic moment with Richard. *sigh*

Unfortunately,Blogger,Google, whoever does not want me to post the video here so I am going to give the link for everyone that wants to watch it here.

Richard Armitage - A Few Mins From the Popcorn Taxi Q&A

I don't think was supposed to have happened,  but a two minute and some seconds video of Richard Armitage's Q & A with Popcorn Taxi was made and was posted sometime on May 3, 2013. Next best thing to being there.

Photos from the Popcorn Taxi Q & A with Richard Armitage

As promised in my previous post some photos of Richard from the Popcorn Taxi Q & A before the encore showing of The Hobbit in Sydney Australia on May 1.

Honestly, I think this is my favorite one.

Blinded by the light...

A funnier moment it looks like

Just behind Richard is a nice close-up of his hand when he is getting his Lego Thorin out of the box.

A professor moment or a grabbing moment? *Naughty Thought* What?! :-D

Must check out the Hugo Boss boots

Alright. *Sighs* I guess he wants me to calm down before I really get started.

A Day Late and a Richard Short

Yesterday was the Popcorn Taxi Q &A with Richard Armitage and I completely forgot about it because of real life, until everything seemed to be starting to calm down a bit. Plus I felt dead on my axles (to be polite). So that is why there was no up to date post about it from me yesterday. I did start a post about a couple of Twitter friends from Australia, Meri and Lady0akenshield, who had a Close Encounter of the Armitage Kind on a Sydney, Australia morning show. Meri even got to stroke the beard. Lucky woman. Tuesday evening but it wasn't going as good as I wanted, so I stopped and thought I would get back to that yesterday as well, but that did not work out  either. Sorry about all of that.

So with that being said, I am going to let y'all know about fedoralady's guest post by Grovergreen on The Armitage Effect. Handsome photos are included ( I will post some on my site, *Cross my heart*) there as well as a very well thought out and written post. Grovergreen did a really good job of taking notes and then writing everything out for the rest of us. Could not have been easy but it was done out of love by her.

You've probably already seen some if not all the photos that have come down the pipe these last couple of day, but just in case you haven't here is one :
