Day 6

Biology - Anathomy of Richard Armitage's feet

From Wikipedia
"The foot (plural feet) is an anatomical structure found in many vertebrates. It is the terminal portion of a limb which bears weight and allows locomotion."

From Curing chronic pain HERE
"The human foot contains 3 arches, 20 muscles, 24 ligaments, 26 bones (your two feet together contain one fourth of all the bones in your body!), 33 joints and 7,800 nerves."

RA foot isn't easy to see. The most famous RA feet-scenes are in Between the Sheets (2003). More about this movie You can read HERE on Traxy Blog. The next movie where we can see RA feet is Cold Feet (2003) and promo photos to this movie made by Andy McCartney from 2002. And of course Cleopatra, where RA is in sandals. And in Spooks Season 9 a bit. Wonder if there is a chance to see some feet in The Hobbit, but probably they will be in the prostetics.

There are mainly three types of feet.

Greek type - Foot with the second toe being the longest.
Egyptian type (the statues of the Pharaohs) - Foot with the first toe and even second being the longest.
Square type (The Polynesian foot) - Foot with even length toes.

Types You can see HERE

Richard has Egyptian type (so now wonder that we call Richard - RA ;D ) with tapered toe (line 1 is only for 2 toes - wide toe version makes line on 3 toes). This type of feet can make dancing difficult, because big toe is longer and is more prone to injuries such as bunions. But this is very elegant foot.

Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket

On his photo from FanstRAvaganza Math post HERE Richard's shoes have 31 cm. So his feet can have 29-30 cm which can makes his shoe's size 44-45 (10-10,5 in english numeration), but they can be a bit longer.
PhotobucketThe most comfortable shoes for him are with tip and wide. As we can see RA is really practical dude and takes care of his feet. As we can see on screen from BTS he has not flat foot.



Photobucket Photobucket

Especially long toes may represent a very artistic or talented individual but can also reflect a “head in the clouds” personality, a daydreamer.
And there is one more interesting element on right foot: mole.

Studies on RA feet in progress.

Welcome on fifth Armitageness' Lessons of Fangirling

Day 5

Art (Music, Collages and Literature) - Richard Armitage Soundtrack with collages

This is only a part of my very early project when I wasn't so good in graph program. Well that was acient program from 1995 and I was using it in 2009. And it was a part of TheRApy. Really helped me. I'm sorry that I don't write more about these songs, but my english isn't so good for more sophisticated description. Have fun with Your own soundtrack with songs which remind You about Our Fav Fellow.

Apollo 440 - Don't Fear The Reaper Feat. Blue Öyster Cult 
from Millenium Fever (1995)

This isn't the original performance. Original is from Blue Oyster Cult. And many of bands have their own version like HIM. More about this song You can read HERE on Wikipedia.

Photobucket Photobucket

Words of this song remind about unhappy love from Guy's part to Marian... in a little twisted meaning.


Sting - Shape Of My Heart 
from Ten Summoner’s Tales (1993)

Photobucket Photobucket

This song is for John Standring specialy that part:
"And if I told you that I loved you
You'd maybe think there's something wrong
I'm not a man with too many faces
The mask I wear is one"
He is real, wonderful man with open heart. Why World isn't full of this kind of guys.

Earth Wind & Fire - Fantasy 
from All 'N All (1977)

Photobucket Photobucket

Happy, optimistic song for Geraldine and Harry. They just taked their ride to the sky.

Sade - Love Is Stronger Than Pride 
from Stronger Than Pride (1988)

Photobucket Photobucket

Beautiful song of Sade which tells story of John and Margaret. I really wish have possibility to make fan vid to this song. Well see maybe I'll find time this year.

The Prodigy - Firestarter 
from Fat Of The Land (1997)

Photobucket

Richard is real firestarter ;D Specially His eyes ;D

Wham – I’m Your Man 
Music from the Edge of Heaven (1986)

Photobucket Photobucket

Naughty song for Gisborne ;D
"I'll be your boy, I'll be your man
I'll be the one who understands
I'll be your first, I'll be your last
I'll be the only one you ask
I'll be your friend, I'll be your toy
I'll be the one who brings you joy
I'll be your hope, I'll be your pearl
I'll take you halfway 'round the world!
I'll make you rich - I'll make you poor
Just don't use the door"

Fleetwood Mac – You Make Loving Fun 
from Rumours (1977)

Photobucket Photobucket
Thanks to Richard's bedtime stories and his audiobooks I survived 2009 year. I was listen to them almost all the time. And probably this saved me. My fav bedtime story is about Flat Stanley. Specially these voices of robbers and squeek of open doors. MASTERPIECE!

Fontella Bass – Rescue Me 
from The New Look (1966)

Photobucket Photobucket

And one for Dr Alec :)

To everybody who wish to make something in graph programs:

Don't worry if you are thinking that you shouldn't make art. Everything what You wish to do will be beautiful, because You are doing it with Your heart :)

Welcome on fourth Armitageness' Lessons of Fangirling

Day 4

History - The most memorable moments in my fangirling.

My fav band Clannad published in 2008 book under the title: "Moments in a Lifetime".

Clannad & Bono - In A Lifetime (1985)



There is impossible for us to remember each day of our life, only most memorable moments, feelings, days.
Here are just couple moments in my fangirling time.

In discover Richard Armitage in october 2008. Not really remember which day that was maybe in half of this month. Where and how you can read on my blog more HERE. There is first fan vid and first moment when I saw Our Fav Fellow. From this moment all starting :)

My second very memorable moment when I joined the C19 forum in October 30th and I saw thread about new RA interview for BBC Breakfast Show (27 Oct) WOAH!!! This guy is real! He can speak! What a voice! But about what the heck he is talking about!? ... No matter. That voice rulez! I don't remember how many times I was listen to this interview to understand it. But this was first time for me to see RA in something different than North and South, because before I wasn't interesting in RA only with N&S. So I wasn't even watching different things with him.


PhotobucketJanuary 4th 2010 the day when my first RA autograph arrived! Now I know how all fans of Elvis and The Beatles were feeling. That was so weird! For the first time I was feeling like real fan of somebody ;D My squeee sound was similar to these at the background of Elvis' vid.

Photobucket

PhotobucketOctober 22nd 2010 I wonder how many of You were sitting with open eyes and mouth and saying many many times OMG!!! OMG!!! OMG!!! ;D After that day I have feeling that some things changed forever. and 11 February 2011 Richard in Wellywood and his BEARD! Wonderful photos and vids HERE. Thank You to All :)

Photobucket14 march 2011 8.20PM I was watching Richard in Strike Back on TVP and that was AWESOME!!!! I'm not watching TV, but this was historical moment ;D

Photobucket
August 2nd 2011 Historic Day! My first tickets on the movie with Richard Armitage in the cinema! How was in the cinema on Captain America You can read HERE.


And at the end day Dec 17th 2011 HERE When my heart stopped for a while.

All of You have wonderful moments to remember. Moments in a life time, when there is something worth to remember, when all feelings are positive and You can feel happy. I not remember much from 2009. That was terrible year to me, but being RA fan helped me stay conscious. Specially these BAFTA's photos :)

Welcome on third Armitageness' Lessons of Fangirling

Day 3

Psychology - How to find balance in "being Richard Armitage's fan" or "I don't need to marry him"


or "how not to become a psychofan"

I'm sorry for my english.
Let's start with this song of The Police.



Every breath you take
And every move you make
Every bond you break every step you take
I’ll be watching you

Every single day
And every word you say
Every game you play
every night you stay
I’ll be watching you

Oh, can’t you see
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches
With every step you take
Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
every claim you stake
I’ll be watching you

Since you’ve gone I’ve been lost without a trace
I dream at night I can only see your face
I look around but it’s you I can’t replace
I feel so cold and I long for your embrace
I keep crying baby, baby please
Oh, can’t you see
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches
With every step you take
Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
every claim you stake
I’ll be watching you
Every move you make every step you take
I’ll be watching you
I’ll be watching you

Just imagine to be famous for one day. Not only You should work for Your bread, but You are living under the pressure that everybody is watching Your move. How is possible to be Yourself in this circumstances?
Well Richard is very private person. Should say this is very good for him.

The main problem in "being a fan" of somebody with opposite sex is that ...em... how can I say this... Some of fans have much more bigger expectations, that their Idol can give them.

For past years I was interesting with many things and I was and still I'm a fan of many people, like: Michael Praed, Enya, Roy Dupuis, Louis de Funès, Tommy Lee Jones etc, etc. And I can say: They don't even know that I'm exist. For Idols is important that they have fans. Without fans Idols don't exist.

For more to read see HERE on my blog Article about 1000 true fans.

I remember Lady Gaga from her very first interviews, that she was saying about not having much money, because all what she had got were clothes. But she is really hard working girl, and as I saw through these years she is very carrying about her fans, same Rihanna.
But these all people have THEIR OWN LIFES and not only. They have their own problems, feelings, memories, family, dreams, plans and in this isn't place for fans.

This is the most important what fan should remember. This is the most important in good balance in "being a fan".

Idol is human, person, same as we are, and has these same laws as we have.

I really like to watch fan vids from BAFTAs or photos made by fans or messages about autographs or meetings with Richard. We all can see that Richard only when he has time, he is working for his fans. And this takes time. His time. Not only he should preparing to new movies or resting. He does as much as he can for us.
As I quess everybody is waiting for his letters. This is even more what other stars are doing for fans.

I know that daily dreaming about Richard is very popular in Armitage fandom, but this can't lead to sorrow, that some things can't happen in our life, because we can't just marry Richard. I can't have even possibility to see him live, so this can't lower my fan feelings, that I like his work, movies, etc.

So for balance is important:
1. Your idol is human being with his own life, problems, feelings, memories, family, dreams, plans and time. As same as You are.

2. And he has right to choose person who can be with him in relationship. One more time - this is His Life. As nobody can't say with whom You can be in relationship.

3. Your idol can don't know that You are existing in person. It's his right.

4. For idol is important that he has fans.

5. Idol is really afraid of psychofans, so don't scare him more.

6. Fan has right to have fun from being a fan: that means meetings with other fans, oggling on photos, making arts, movies, buying things with idol, making things with idol, be happy when idol is in TV or is having an award or has possibility to be more famous or all 3 or more. You can write about Your fan feelings to Your idol, but maybe sending him a bra isn't such a good idea.;D Better pants, but for him.

7. Fan has right to be overexcited when idol is near. but look at point 5.

8. Fan should not be offended when bodyguard of his idol is mean. He is protecting Your idol.

9. Remember that thanks to You, Your idol can see why he is doing this what he is doing. You are making that he can see sense of his work.

10. You are a fan, because You like to be a fan, not because You have to.

For me being a fan should develop, and as I saw the most handsome male on the world I just can concentrate when I see other male bum and enjoy it.

YAY!!!!

Welcome on second Armitageness' Lessons of Fangirling

Day 2

Math - Are Richard Armitage's legs really 3'3" long?

Official Richard Armitage's height is 6'2" (188cm).
By using mathematical method of proportion we are able to know how long are parts in real, when we have only photo. This is method which is using by Lego people to making models of famous buildings.
Theoretically leg's length is from crotch to end of the heel. Skeleton from Wikipedia. Photo of Richard from May 4th 2010 BBC Studio.

Photobucket Photobucket

The point is that we should have proper photo. ;D Not only full body, but with good angle of photo, not so high and not so low. Unfortunatelly we are not so lucky in this. Analysing many of Richard's photos and screens I discovered that only some of them are good to study. Mostly on them Richard is standing with legs not together or a little bend. In Spooks season 8 there is one good scene with boiler suit, but I can't post it. So I decided working on this one.

Photobucket

After print and using ruler.

Photobucket Photobucket

So Richard's legs are 3' long, but You should know that this is only lenght Richard's legs on this photo, so we can't be so sure if this is correct result. So studies in this matter not ending now.

Ok maybe something different.
Proportion of Richard's legs to his body.
lenght of the legs/his height*100%
92cm/188cm*100% = 49%
So Richard's legs ratio to his body is almost 50%!!!!

And this is something really....long!

In this article

Sorokowski "Adaptive preferences for leg length in a potential partner"
You can read full studies HERE in PDF

is that more atractive for women are men with shorter legs, but longer chest. Longer legs are more attractive only for 5%.

In this one on Femininebeauty too HERE.

But I consider that they should make their studies one more time, because they don't know about Richard yet ;D and about his fans ;D I personally like long legs very very much ;D

YAY!!!!

Welcome on first Armitageness' Lessons of Fangirling

Day 1 

Game - Richard Armitage game to download, print and cut.

First Class of Games and a bit of homework.

It's always nice to have something printed with Richard, not only pixels on screen. I hope that some of you are having printed calendar ;D Just imagine that You don't have electricity at home (2012 End of the World), but You can still have fun ;D When I was a kid and on vacation in grandma's house sometimes there was rain and not so pleasant days. We didn't have too much things from our home there, only couple of games and books, because bags were very heavy. So we were making our own games from paper.

This is 

Richard Armitage memo game

I used only some of the promo shoots of Richard. You can make Your own with Richard's photos :) And make how many You wish.

Rules
Deck: 72 cards (standard deck 52 cards)
Players: 1-5
Goal:
To collect the most pairs of cards.
Setup:
Shuffle the cards and lay them on the table, face down, in a pattern (e.g. 4 cards x 13 cards). You can use how many pair of cards You wish.
Gameplay:
Play then proceeds clockwise.
On each turn, a player turns over two cards (one at a time) and keeps them if they match. If they successfully match a pair, that player also gets to take another turn.
When a player turns over two cards that do not match, those cards are turned face down again and it becomes the next player’s turn.
Scoring for 1 player:
Time yourself to see how fast you can find all of the matching pairs. Compete with yourself by trying to get a faster time in a second game.
Scoring for 2 and more players:
Players keep each pair they find. At the end of the game, each pair scores one point.
Winning:
When all the pairs have been found, the player with the most points wins.

Instructions how to make this game:
You have to:
1. Download pictures. They have 1024x768 pixels.
2. You can print it on photo paper or go to the nearest photoprint shop. And make photos 20x30. This is the best size for these pictures. You can make this in size 16x20, that makes square of one card something about 3cmx3cm, but is a little too little :). And remember You should make them on matte photo paper. Matte paper is not vulnerable to being marred by fingerprints. Instructions You can print on plain paper.
3. After print You should cut squares on black lines and voila!
