Justin Month, Day Eight

Cheeky boy. Lord did I love this little stunt, though. ;)

Quebec City by V

Joey had stayed in the car, stretched out on the mustard-yellow backseat, and Justin was beginning to wish he'd joined him.

Okay, so maybe it really was all Justin's fault, because if he hadn't tried kissing Chris, it'd be fine. Because, it was fine after Chris kissed him, but not now, because apparently Justin had done something stupid and didn't know how to make it right again. Come to think of it, he rarely knew how to make things right again, unless he asked Chris. Convenient, that.

This Justin is confused in the very real way of getting kissed by one's best friend out of the blue tends to leave a person. He's also left to puzzle it out for himself, which takes a while because the world doesn't make sense as a one-man affair and certainly not without the person who tilts it just so. This Justin is interesting because he's better as half of a whole even before he's realized that's what he's (practically) always been.

*blinks* What's the story behind that screencap?

It's from the 2002 Billboard Music Awards in December when Justin had broken his foot about a month before. He went to the awards in a wheelchair with about three girls dressed up in nurses' uniforms and smiled the Flynt smile there and was much too charming in interviews for it to be anything but cute and self-effacing, seeing as how that happened just as the second single from Justified, Cry Me A River, had just been released for which he had to cancel a slew of appearances. He actually did perform that night, with his foot in a padded splint, mostly from a stool with minimal choreography at the end.

He is totally pimped out. :-) That's adorable! How did he manage to break his foot?

He broke it during rehearsals for a performance on Top of the Pops in England. Poor puppy. It couldn't have happened at a worse time, but he pretty much disregarded doctor's orders after spending a couple of weeks at home in Memphis with his mum, looking anything but happy in the few pics from basketball games and the like that surfaced. The Italian Vogue shoot was right around that time, if memory serves. His foot was still in that brace for the TRL appearance December 13th, but when he was photographed golfing on the 4th of January it was off.

I'll stop now, as my memory for this kind of absolutely pointless trivia scares me, too.

LOL, but it comes in darn handy! Thanks for the word. :-)
