I mean, what even is this outfit!? Is it a jumpsuit? It’s a suede jumpsuit, isn’t it!? And where do you get boots like that? Is that a dial on them? Why hasn’t he done up his buckles? AND WHY DID AVON START DRESSING HIMSELF LIKE THIS WHEN HE HAD SUCH SIMPLE BOOTS TO START WTIH AND THE HAIR BOOHOOHOUHUHUh /foetal position
I… have boots sort of like that, ahaha. I was actually going to make this costume at one point, so that’s why I have a lot of good ref pictures of it. But then I decided that it looked too frustrating, and I’m not a sewing wizard anyway. But if it helps, my friend and I decided it was some kind of magical velvet that never gets cat hairs stuck to it.
OH MY GOD
If there was a cat on the Scorpio… can you imagine it… it’d be all over Avon and he’d hate it because he’d spend hours with a sticky roller trying and trying to get the cat hair out of it… he’d end up wearing shiny vinyl or latex or something to prevent the cat hair
oh god it’s probably for the best that didn’t happen
pfffffff, yes. I’ll, uh, be in my cabin.
Apparently, or according to Paul at least, it was thanks to Gareth that he ended up wearing so much leather/those infamous hooker boots:
“I got a call from June asking if I objected to wearing leather, and I said no, not at all. On the way in the cab to a fitting, she said she mentioned to Gareth that she would like him in leather and thigh-length boots, and he had said he didn’t think it was right for Blake, but he knew just the person for whom it would be perfect. I made a mental note to bash Gareth. It was all his fault! As it happened, leather is the most comfortable stuff to wear, and if you’re filming during winter, it’s very warm. If you’re out in Betchworth Quarry in the middle of November, it’s wonderful, and it stretches and it’s comfortable. So in the end I was quite happy. I was, however, a little reluctant to wear the thigh-length boots.”
