Oh, how I love the Timberlake, let me count the ways. This icon was one of
fashes' and she let me use it. After I saw the "Sexy Back" music video and decided I absolutely *needed* this icon. Because Justin Timberlake is a tricksy motherfucker and that? Is one fucking subversive music video.
Premise: Justin is some kind of spy, going after another (female) spy in a large hotel full of hot lebians. He has this incredibly hot rough (but completely consensual) sex scene with the spy and you never see him and the woman kiss. In fact, the video ends on a 14 second lean in and statics out right before their lips meet.
But here is where it gets really subversive. There's this tiny shot, maybe two seconds long, of Justin slipping into a bathroom. The camera pans over to a urinal. You know how I said the hotel is full of hot lesbians? Well one of them is peeing. Standing up. A hotel full of hot lesbians. What if they weren't women at all? Wouldn't that also be hot? Justin backs out of the bathroom with a vaguely disturbed look on his face.
I also like his representation of women in this video. While you see lots of beautiful women making out, it is not done in such a way that they appear to be putting on a show. In fact, at one point in the video, Justin walks in on a couple and they stop what they are doing and give him dirty looks until he leaves. In his videos in general, all of his dancers wear clothes that actually cover their bodies, and are filmed in such a way as to call attention to the choreography, as opposed to cleavage.
I use this icon when I'm feeling particularly tricksy and subversive myself.
Wow, this icon is. Huh. Like three years old, I think. I'd only been vidding for about a year. I got this idea to vid Jay/Silent Bob to Barry Manilow's "Mandy." I even managed to get hold of most of their movies. I got the idea for this icon, so I made it. The vid never got made but I kept the icon, because it amused me.
I like to use it when I'm navelgazing and pretending to call it meta.
This icon came from a batch of Patrick icons I made for
fashes as a pimping tactic. I had just gotten into bandfandom and was telling her all about how awesome it was and why she needed to join me in my Pete/Patrick lovefest. She was, shall we say, reluctant.
me: the people are whimsical and full of crack!
me: and the lead singer, totally in high school when he was found by the twenty-something year old bassist
her: wait, there's jailbait in this fandom?
her: WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SO.
her: but...but...the jailbait isn't pretty.
her: you know I can't slash him if he's not pretty
her: I'm just going to keep thinking of him as a fat hobbit in my head
Of course, I had to do something immediately to properly communicate to her the hotness inherent in one Patrick Martin Stumph.
I found the videos of Patrick's FUSE performance on youtube (link: 1|2|3). You know the one. Where he's looking all young and pretty and illegal and his voice is hoarse like he spent the half hour before curtain call sucking cock and he's hanging off the mic like he wants more? Yeah, that one. I sent her the link.
her: he's kinda hot hereme: I think I'm going to use this to make Patrick icons
her: YIS
her: to remind me
some minutes later
her: ...okay he's really hot here
one hour later
her: OMG HE'S SO HOT
me: dude.
me: you called him a fat hobbit
me: you know what I'm calling you now, right?
me: PERVY. HOBBIT. FANCIER. (any former LotR/LotRips fen will probably get this reference)
one day later
her: I've had the video on repeat.
her: HOT LIKE BURNING.
three days later
her: THERE'S AN LJ COMMUNITY DEVOTED JUST TO HIS THIGHS
And that is all she wrote.
As for the keywords, "friction in your jeans," I just picked a Fall Out Boy lyric that sounded vaguely porny. I haven't used this icon much yet. I'm sure I'll put it to work soon enough.
Comment and I will ask you to explain three of your icons.

The jailbait is VERY pretty. And was very pretty. And is hot like burning. And stuff.
