I'll just...leave this here.

Just found a higher-quality version of my favorite gif and obviously I'm fine. (Source.)



Remember how I said earlier today that Robert should've stuck with the leather pants? ^ Exhibit A, folks.

Ooo...Looks like this was at that same lovely, Munic show in '84, perhaps? How yummy.

[horizon-greene.livejournal.com]

It was indeed! I'm currently writing something set predominately in 1984, and I've decided these leather pants must make an appearance in the story.

[missescookie.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes! The leather trousers must make an appearance and then possibly a bit of a disappearance for a while when he is with his boyfriend??? 😈

[horizon-greene.livejournal.com]

Oh, for sure! Pants don't stay on (or at least, don't stay buttoned/zipped) for long with these two when I'm writing them ;)

That leather clad walk is the hottest thing!!! And his gorgeous face! But I remain of the opinion that the hotness of Robert's clothing and appearance must be ascribed to Severin's work. Robert never looked so good like in those months when they were 'close friends' and Simon was away...

I agree Fuji. I have a Robert hotness period which stretches as from early '82 (young, angry and hot 'Porn' era) all the way up to 1985/86.

For me there have also been the naughty periods, which for me goes way beyond hot. I'm talking ovary blowout. This includes random years where  he just looked really sexual and very naughty: 1982-83 without Simon (naughty example below for your viewing pleasure) and the late nineties, in particular. Can't find a naughty pic for those years at the moment, but heck...one just needs to view that shambles of a concert back in '98 to see a drunk, naughty, horny Robert slobbering all over his boyfriend. God, I love that year.

Love that pic (though admittedly I like the versions where Lol's cropped out a bit more—poor guy)! Totally agreed when it comes to late-'90s Robert. There's no denying that from about '96-'98, he was just very...overtly provocative and sensual in a way I haven't seen before or since. Makes one wonder what was going on behind the scenes to work him into such a state? ;)

[missescookie.livejournal.com]

Ha! Yes, poor Lol. Didn't have time to crop him out of this one.

Uh-huh... I also think that WMS was chock full of sex. He talks about meeting up with in his own words "a sensational dancer" with the words "ot feels good! do it to me!" as the chorus for that song, and then of course the one where he meets a fan and wants to start/continue on with their relationship, but she tells him your really not for me, honey (strange attraction) and Jupiter Crash where he has explained and I quote, "its about a failed sexual encounter...the comet was just an analogy."

I could go on. He was up to some very naughty things back in those days and when asked by a reporter if he got in trouble from the Ms. about all this, he replied that he escaped without too much hardship. Hmm...

Sex sex sexy Robert.

It's true that there have been periods in which Robert looked hotter (1982, 1985-87, the late 90's) , but in the months when he was under Severin's influence he looked hot, like you pointed out, in a more sexual and naughty way and his clothes were definitely different than anything he wore before and after. I'm sure the leather pants, those black or white shirts and all the rest he wore and did in those months, including that make up and the pics with his finger in his mouth and his ass up in the air, were all Severin's doing. After all the name Severin is not casual, what it calls to mind is SM sex, leather, provocation...

[horizon-greene.livejournal.com]

Intriguing theory re: Severin. I think you may be right, both about the clothing (which had never occurred to me) and the "close friends" bit (which I think about frequently and at length!).

[fuji-fujiwara.livejournal.com]

Read my reply to missescookie. Besides, they were close friends indeed, before and during the making of Pornography and the tour (Severin was responsible of "sowing the seed of discontent" between Robert and Simon and was proud of it, he said it himself only a few years ago) and after the boys split up too. Robert was very often in Severin's flat, taking acids with him and sleeping on his floor, and this was declared by Robert. But I wonder about the floor bit. Severin must have had a bed and I don't think he was immune to Robert's appeal or he wouldn't have worked so hard to make him and Simon part.

You mean the late 90's centerfold poses?

He was hotter than hell then-even had a bit of defined deltoid showing through the hockey jerseys. My theory has always been that he was home for a long time during that era. Maybe the Mrs. put her foot down?

Looking forward to your '84-so much turmoil! A time with infinite possibilities!

[missescookie.livejournal.com]

Oh, these poses! 💓Rob was such a ham back then. And those damn jerseys...they were so huge on him, but I just thought he looked so sexy in them. Why?
