Just for Topical Fun - Wimbledon Ste!

It's Wimbledon time.
It's fun to give people big hair.
Brendan's already had the big hair treatment recently...so here's Retro Wimbledon Ste!

Adventures of TashMan, Foxy and Lash Boy

I love a challenge, me...so when some fellow Brady-lovin folk came up with the idea of superhero trio TashMan, Foxy and Lash Boy, I was only too happy to provide the visuals:

And then having seen them all ready for action like that....

*********************************

It is a quiet morning in Chester and not-so-mild mannered nightclub owner Brendan Brady is enjoying a quick cuppa and gathering his thoughts for the day ahead...

It seems like any other day.  But unknown to Brendan, a dark presence is lurking nearby....(at the Price Slice in fact, somewhat surprisingly...).

Later, the phone rings.  It's Foxy calling, and he has bad news...an evil maniac known as The Razor is plotting to rid the entrie planet of facial hair, starting with the Chester area.  He has set up the nerve-centre for his vile plans at the Price Slice. 

"Sounds like a job for TashMan and Foxy", says Brendan.  But Foxy is unavoidably detained on urgent business, and can not get there... 

TashMan will have to go alone.  Undeterred, Double B nips into the broom cupboard for a quick change...

And before you know it, TashMan is up and away...

Over at the Price Slice, it looks like Foxy was right...

Things are looking even worse inside...The Razor is waiting for TashMan, and he is pretty scary...

TashMan is fearless though, and ready to do battle with this evil tash-hating beast.  The two size each other up for a moment....

...but oh no! TashMan gets momentarily distracted by the mutant creature's hideous appearance...

The Razor seizes on this moment of distraction, blasting TashMan with his Ray-Zor eyes, and knocking him unconscious...

Calamity!  Tashman is out cold, and The Razor is closing in, to shave off his tash (which is the source of all his powers, obviously...)

What will happen next??   Find out next time!




Just kidding!   Surely y'all can guess what's going to happen?...

Yes, of course!  Lash Boy is here, and he's armed and dangerous! (But still managing to have really pretty eyelashes.)   The Razor is quaking with fear...

Luckily, The Razor's weapons are useless against clean-shaven pretty-boys, so it's an easy victory for Lash Boy and his dangerously volumising mascara brush.  It's all over in seconds.   

So...phew! We can all breathe easy again!  The world's facial hair is safe once more and we can sleep soundly in our beds tonight.

And look!  TashMan is just coming round in time for a reviving Super-Snog, complete with fireworks...

Aww!  I do like a happy ending. 

Well, I hope you enjoyed that bit of super-silliness, (which clearly was a valid and productive use of my time...right?!)      ......Till next time.....

Just for fun...Big-haired Brendan!

Found myself wondering if our man could work a wild-haired look together with the sunglasses/tash combo.  What do you reckon?  I kinda like it actually.... 

Seventies porn star?  I didn't say it.

Brendan/Jamil Chess Showdown!

Now it may surprise you to learn that there are in fact other characters in Hollyoaks (yes, really!)  In addition to Double B and his nearest and dearest, I am also rather taken with unlucky-in-love student and chess enthusiast, Jamil.  I enjoy his curious accent and likable low-key manner, but mostly I just gaze in wonder at his magnificent eyebrows.

So then, you can imagine my excitement when the idea of a Jamil/Brendan chess encounter was floated by fellow lounge lizards. Imagine: an epic all-night battle of guile and nerve, full of jaw-twitching, eyebrow-flexing tension...Yep, that would be mighty fine viewing indeed...

Sadly chess does have a somewhat unsexy reputation though, so to get the viewers interested, some punchy advertising might be called for...

                

Yep, we definitely need to see that.  But who would win?  I'd put a tenner on Jamil, but it's really too close to call.

Just For Fun - Retro 'Erotic Fiction' Brendan!

I saw this old book cover and just couldn't resist....
The whole book cover is completely genuine ( it was a real book - people must have actually read it!).  I have changed absolutely nothing, except his face.

It looks like a terrific read, doesn't it?  In fact, I'm off to the library right now to track down a copy......

Note from the Management:

Wow, what a Brendantastic week it's been here at The Brady Lounge!  First, the man himself paid our little blog a visit, and then, having spent our entire life savings on tickets for the fabulous birthday raffle at WeLoveHollyoaks.com, our investment paid off and we won the star prize: Brendan's garment of choice for a spot of breakfast-time threatening.  Yes, that's right; The Brady Lounge is now the proud owner of The Toast-Menacing T-Shirt!

And what better way to celebrate than to don T-shirt and Tash, and recreate that classic moment for the Brady Lounge family album...

Brendan shows us how it's done...

And I do my best to make like the master...

Admittedly my menacing technique needs a little work, but I was definitely feeling the Brady vibe!  So much so in fact, that I got carried away and tried a little toast-brandishing and tash-grooming too....

Nice!  Yep, hours of fun were had!   Don't worry though - that's it, as far as pics of me go. Normal service (pics of BRENDAN!) will be resumed next time!          

Stendan go to Paris!

When Noah suggested a weekend in Paris to Ste, Brendan yakked (and frankly so did we).  Don't worry though - here in the alternative reality that is The Brady Lounge (Extra!), Ste is in Paris with Brendan instead.  How do I know?  He sent Amy a postcard.  I know it's rude to read other people's mail but she left it right there on the table...

Awww!  Sounds like they're having a lovely time.  Doesn't say where they are staying though.  I wonder what kind of hotel Double B would choose?

Natch!  Nice choice Double B!  I've heard it's very nice there; elegant white rooms and luxurious bathrooms.  Shall we drop in and see what they're up to?..

Oh right.  No messing about with dinner and a movie first then?  Let's be fair though; presumably Ste has been putting out for Noah (ick!) but poor Bren hasn't been getting any lately, so no wonder he's in a hurry.  He doesn't strike me as the patient type...

Now we all know that Ste longs for a little romance, and an occasional public display of affection from his man.  (I still get a little misty-eyed when I think about him asking Bren to go out on a proper date with him).  Luckily romantic Paris is the place where such dreams can come true...

Adorable. Yep, they sure are having a dreamy time, there in the city of romance.

Well, sadly that just about wraps up our visit to spy on their weekend away. 
"But hang on!"  I hear you say..."Stephen mentioned a beret in his postcard. Do we not get to see that?"

Well, luckily they took plenty of photos, and Ste (bless him) likes to keep them in an album...

So sweet! 

Well, it's been fun but I must dash now....   Till next time....Au Revoir!



More Boxing Please!

Well, I do like a bit of boxing, me... (I watch 'Fight Club' on Sky Sports on a Saturday night...like Danny Houston!)...so Brendan boxing was pure heaven for me. I'm now hoping for a ring-based rematch, complete with pre-bout swagger, satin shorts and a much hotter opponent.

Ultimate Shippiness...

Things aren't going too well for Stendan at the moment, but I'm keeping the dream alive that one day Bren will stop hitting Stephen and make an honest man of him instead. Altogether now....aww!

Brady Arrested for Murder!

Brady getting cuffed and walked down the stairs from Chez Chez was seriously good viewing.  Cue mugshot:

Just for fun - Mariachi Brendan!

I think Brendan needs to try something new to seduce Stephen...

The First Fix

My first pic.  I made this and enjoyed it so much I decided to make another one...and another.  Seriously, who knew that making silly fake pictures of The Tashed One could be an actual hobby?
