I really had no idea what I wanted to do for this challenge, but after thinking about it I knew I had to focus it on music one way or another. And I realized since about April I've been getting more and more into pop music, discovering the pop of my childhood (Britney, Backstreet and *Nsync), discovering the pop of the past and really starting to like and understand 'modern' pop music. I particularly found myself drawn to the guys in such a female driven genre, and the more 'dancey'/international side of pop music. This picspam is made up of my favorite 4 men of pop music and I've included one downloadable track for each!

Please remember, this is only a link post. Leave all discussion to your own journals. Also, we ask that you please mention if there are any spoilers for unaired episodes in the linked posts.

Hope you enjoyed the show! Have a great night!

I get really freaked out about some of those drawings! If I drew that Crazy Fish or that Crazy Snake in my sketchbook today I would post them on the internet.

I might upload the whole episode, there's a bit with me pretending to be a bee, and a really cool Paddington Bear short. Also there's more of that red headed girl acting CRAZY.

Wizards of Waverly Place is probably my favorite show on Disney right now. The cast and the story and specially the writing, it's just pure hilarity. And two of my favorite characters on the show are brother and sister Alex & Justin Russo. Now, of course, if you're a normal viewer of the show, you'd just laugh and coo at the brohter/sister relationship they have on screen where they annoy and bicker each other to no end. But if you're anything like me, there's ALWAYS going to be some undertone where you want them to get together! Just cause together they'd look pretty awesome. So here is a picspam of Justin/Alex moments in these 5 episodes I picked, that makes me think...why do they have to be brother's and sisters?

I've loved Sanctuary since it first started (well on television anyway, I was unfortunately unaware of the webisodes until after the series started). It is one of my favorite shows, but I have never done a picspam for it. This most recent episode "Pavor Nocturnus" really gave me the inspiration for a picspam.

Sorry this is so late, but this picspam was in fact meant for this challenge. I've never picspammed Lost before, even though I've been a fan of it for a while now. I just recently watched the episode "Jughead" and simply had to picspam it. So here you go! This (obviously) includes spoilers for season five of Lost.

Just got a text from a mate in the queue going completely mental. Shame on all those whiny gits who doubted our boys! I am super-spazz happy, because this means I'm probably going to hear it in Birmingham and Rotterdam! And I thought it would be hard to top Sheffield, Liverpool *strokes setlist* and Dublin!

Please commence spaffing...

Teasing little shits! *spanks*

Whether you're in the mood for a creative challenge or you're short on time or attention span, this semi-addictive community is perfect for those who find flash fiction way long. Once you get the hang of it, you won't be able to stop. The prince turned into a frog. The girl ran home to mother. Tough to write. Easy to read. It's a double threesome of fun.

dailyfoodie
Delicious, ambitious, and occasionally nutritious dishes make for an eclectic, all-you-can-eat feast. Whether you're searching for recipes for your next dinner party or you're jonesing for a late-night brownie fix, your cravings are sure to be well sated. A warm and inclusive community that welcomes all orientations, from carnivores to vegans, from gourmands to junk-food junkies. Guaranteed bias-free, food-positive, and pan-epicurian.

I've never really done a "WATCH THIS SHOW" type picspam, and The Thick of It definitely deserves all the love I can drum up for it. It's like The West Wing! Except... not. And it has some very creative swearing.



Yeah, it’s all just gone really HBO.
