Meme: 30 Days of Hanson - Day 16

[armanya]

I decided to do two today and get caught up to the same day as everyone else since I missed a day at the start of the week.

Day 16: A picture where all 3 of them look really good

ONE picture?! I can't follow rules, I think you guessed that by now.. Inevitable picspam (I just love it when you can gawk at them without being distracted by the fact that one of them looks silly in the pic lol):

Ok I could spam the whole popeater thing cause... they're all so pretty and their outfits are gorgeous and... yeah. :D


Except, Taylor really looks like my (female) cousin here, which freaks me out a tad bit! 

etc. etc. etc. Got bored of picspam now, gonna go write! Toodles!!!

Jessica Harp! There's a name I haven't heard literally in years. I remember when H.net was really promoting her and tried to whip the fans into a frenzy over supporting her. Actually, that was one of the first times I saw their business/promotion side applied to others, and the fact they could leverage H.net for that (I had thought this was way ahead of the cuve for "social network marketing"), and being impressed that they could throw their heft and name behind her and fans started checking her out. So it didn't seem that much a stretch to me when they started 3CG Records!

My previous GettyImages search failed, but I tried again and found at least two photos from the event I spoke about! December 2003, after Tay was with Natalie and turns out Michelle would marry the next year. The ones I saw were much larger and higher-res, and there were 5 or 6 of Michelle and Taylor sitting together on the couch, and their body language seemed to be painting a particular story - but who knows. (I remember when Hansonhouse forum poster quipping at the time, "Oh, there's Tay, Michelle and Michelle's vagina. Geez that dress is down a little low and up a little high." Here's the two I could find from GettyImages:

Love the misidentification of Tay as Isaac. And Ben Jelen's (those lips!) all like "I want some of that" about Taylor.

"UNITED STATES - DECEMBER 10: Michelle Branch and musician Isaac Hanson get together as recording artist Ben Jelen watches at a Maxim magazine party at Marquee, a new club on 10th Ave. Branch adorns the mag's January cover. Date created: 10 Dec 2003"

Ohhh yes that one! I only have one picture from that and it's of only Taylor and Ben.

But yeah, I remember them being snuggly - and I remember thinking he looks so... ok, well, firstly, wasted lol. (Sorry it's just so really weird when you see pics of any of Hanson drunk cause it's so rare!) But apart from that he seems so relaxed! He really just seems to be himself. And his clothes look good!

Btw, wasn't there actually a rumour about Taylor and Ben Jelen too? Or was that just a story I read. Now I can't remember.

But I have to say Tay and Ben look as good together as Tay and Michelle do hahahah.

I do have to say though, when Tay and Nat first started dating it was obvious they were in love. But I also think that Tay and Michelle had some obvious chemistry that surpassed what he had/has with Nat.

Yeah, lol, the two most common comments on those pics seemed to be that everyone thought he looked either wasted or that him (and her) had that post-fucking "glow" about them. His clothes look great, yeah. I love that shade of purple on him, like its collar too, and the brown leather looks good.

Yeah, there were Ben Jelen rumors, and these went outside the Hanson community and started cropping up on gay forum/rumor boards. (And why do I lurk these, you might ask, lol? Because of the whipsmart 'tude, the fact they break news pretty quickly, and the fact that, um, they're all into hot guys? Count me in! I really never have the interest to post, but I'm an enthusiastic lurker!) I kept reading this persistent one about Ben loving to be rimmed by Taylor, lol. (Take this thread on Tay for instance of what's out there, a lot of pages to wade through, but post 138 on this page is one I kept seeing.) But you know rumours, one person can be posting these all over the place without a shread of truth and it's spreading by that poster's own hand. Doesn't mean anything, except possibly inspiring fanfic/slash plots!

I totally have wanted to write some dedicated slash with Tay and Ben Jelen though. Ben's so pretty! I'm thinking of a "flashback" type speculating what happened when they got together. :)

Love this Ben shot:

Oh wow I've never lurked around forums like that but whoah. I know the gay scene is rife with rumours (which is why I normally stay out of it) but there was a really true post in there pointing out that if guys get a guy that's conceived as straight to bend over for him, he will probably boast about it. I do have to agree with there being some truth in that!

And honestly, to me, there are too many extramarital / Taylor being with guys rumours for me to not start to believe they hold a shred of truth.

I have to say though, the rumours that Taylor cried and was heartbroken on his last night as a single man always makes me feel so sorry for him. I really hope they are not true but I can imagine with all the other shit going on in his life at that point, if he really did not want to marry Nat, things can't have been easy for him.

Also, I think their privacy about their lives is almost their curse sometimes - if they were more open there would be less room for hurtful rumours...
