I must have been dreaming about PB this morning b/c when my dog woke me up at 4:35, my mind was on this show and I thought of the idea for this thread. I didn't see one so here goes.

Wardrode

- Michael's suit: Still fresh and so clean even after how many days w/o a shower or an iron? Is it too much to ask for a little dirt? And is he not hot, as in going to have heat stroke, in that thing? It's not like his tattoo comes up on his neck. He can undo the top button at least and get rid of the tie. Tie's not really necessary at this point.

- Michael's red shirt: I love that shirt and him in that shirt. I would like for it to reappear.

- Linc's shirt: Just come off already.

- C-Note's tank top: Nice.

- Tweener's sweatshirt: If he could have moved around in the trunk, he really should have taken it off.

- Nika's pink track suit: JLo called. She wants it back. Pepto pink.


Hair

- T-bag: Maybe I'm crazy but I like the blonde.

- Tweener: So glad he cut it.


Makeup

- Tattoo: Wherefore art thou? Even though I'm not a huge fan of the look of this particular tattoo (in season one it just looked like a blob from far away and just too much blue for my tastes), the little bit we see on his wrists is not cutting it.

What red shirt is that, nicepebbles? I only remember seeing one in some behind-the-scenes footage. Do you remember the episode?

Gotta mention this wardrobe specific too - Sara's green shirt. That looked SO good on her when she was talking to Michael's therapist. She definitely needs to wear more green.

Hair: love how they seem to be using Sara's hair as a barometer for how her life is going. Dirty, stringy hair = weak, damaged Sara. Shiny, wavy hair = hopeful, strong Sara.

I am dying for the tattoo to make a reappearance too. I still think this is the most unique aspect of the whole series and I'm sure some new viewers would love at least a glimpse.

This I love. Also, while I wasn't all that crazy about her shirt this week, I think that's the first time she wore something with a pattern.

loves it, nicepebbles!
I think Michael would look great in some casual khakis and a T-shirt; maybe add a hoodie (with the hood up like the real-life WM pics taken by fancams).

Actually good time to bring up the topic of clothes: The guys are wearing overalls. Where did they leave their clothes? If they were in the car, they're gone now. Does that mean they'll be running around in those overalls for awhile?

LMAO! OMG, I was pondering this exact question just last night! (I seriously need to get a life.) I am just hoping they dumped their clothes round the side of the house or something. I mean, sending Tweener off into town with anything they might need in that car would just be unforgiveably stupid (although the writers do seem to like to be making everyone more stupid than strictly necessary this season *eye roll*).

What red shirt is that, nicepebbles? I only remember seeing one in some behind-the-scenes footage. Do you remember the episode?

Well, I'm not nicepebbles, but the red shirt is in a few eppies I think. It is when Michael is dealing with the 'Wall of Weird'. I'm sure there's at least a shot of it in 'Brother's Keeper'.

Hair: love how they seem to be using Sara's hair as a barometer for how her life is going. Ddirty, stringy hair = weak, damaged Sara. Shiny, wavy hair = hopeful, strong Sara.

Very true, and oh-so-noticeable that they are doing this!

Tattoo: Wherefore art thou?

You're not kidding! I know WM doesn't like the 'process' of having it applied, but I see no chance that we're going to see it next episode, which will mean seven episodes without a sniff of the tat (wrist shots do not count). This is just cheating!

Thanks, Mink. I think we only saw it in BK. I have scene shots on him in it on few fans sites.


I just wanted to add my other choices for titles:

- Linc, button up! (Not sure how popular that idea is. lol)

- Linc? GQ is not calling (although they really should)

The breakout plans are really the star of the show. Engineer Scofield planned his brother's breakout for a year. His firm was responsible for remodelling the prison where the brother is imprisoned. Blueprints of the prison and all the escape plans were conceived of as a highly elaborate upper body tattoo. This tattoo supposedly took four months to get tattooed before Scofield purposely got himself sent to prison.

As a theatrical tattoo, this is one of the most impressive ever conceived.

All kidding re: seeing WM shirtless aside, I really do think TPTB need to remember this.

Has anyone ever thought of the characters' underwear choices?

Michael - Tighty whiteys.
Linc - Freeballing or boxer briefs.
Bellick - Faded Christmas themed boxers from seven years ago.

And Sara? Perfectly matched bikini panties and lace bra from Victoria's Secret or Agent Provocateur?

Michael's red shirt was to die for. And I think his ideal underwear choice would be boxer briefs.

I think she is more of a sensible undergarment girl. While the bra and panties might match, they won't be lace. Maybe cotton. Something that she can work long shifts in and that's easy to care for. She's not a lingerie girly-girl.

OK, can somebody link to a screencap of the red shirt. It's driving me crazy now, since I can't remember it and a quick look at Brother's Keeper caps didn't unveil it.

Wait, is this it?

Nothing wrong with the red shirt, but I remember seeing a candid photo of WM in a green t-shirt or something and it was absolutely... oh my god!! So I wouldn't mind seeing Michael in something green 'cause I'm getting sick and tired of that suit. T-Bag's changed clothes c ouple of times since the escape so when is Michael going to change clothes?

Let's hope he doesn't go back to the suit after the overalls...

ETA: Does anyone know which pic in the green t-shirt I'm talking about? Perhaps a link? I haven't seen it for a few or a couple of months and love to see it again.

Michael's spotlessly clean tan suit and white shirt were purchased at the same store where Helen Hunt bought her white tank top for Twister. Helen went rolling in the mud and had barns crashing down around her while her tank stayed pristine clean throughout the entire film. I cannot even walk out of the house in white without it needing to be laundered after about 10 minutes.

And I don't mind Michael staying in his suit for now. I am patient ... I can wait ... errrrr ... I think.

Linc - Freeballing or boxer briefs.
Bellick - Faded Christmas themed boxers from seven years ago.

I think he wears underwear, it would be boxer briefs, but he's been known to freeball when it wasn't necessary. And Bellick? I can totally see it. Now, I have to bleach my eyes.

allhailkingjack: Michael's red shirt was to die for. And I think his ideal underwear choice would be boxer briefs.

I'm with you.

bijoux83: Now, don't go throwing stones at me, but I'm actually kind of meh about that shirt.

DUCK! I kid. Ultimately it doesn't matter what he wears but it's just something about that red shirt.


This green shirt?

Or this green shirt?

I guess I'm in the minority, because I still like Michael's tan suit. It's not quite the revelation it was when he first put it on, of course, but it looks sharp. Additionally, it has magical self-cleaning properties, which is just so important for today's busy con on the run.

Although, now that I'm thinking about the wardrobe, do you suppose that hat that Michael gave Sucre, and which looked so very fine on Sucre, was for him or Linc? All those clothes were supposed to be for the brothers, after all; I'd love to know how they were going to divvy them up. The hoodie, which I think went to Sucre as well, would probably have gone to Linc, while Abruzzi's high-waters would've gone to Michael, but what of the rest?

Count me in the minority also, because I love the suit on Michael. That being said, I only want a change because it seems he's the only one who hasn't changed regular clothes.

Seeing him in that work uniform was a welcome change because he look so damn good in it. Along with his explanation to Jeanette (sp) that ended with getting her juices flowing. I loved that scene. But I digress. Bottom line, I like Michael in anything. Proof - I liked him in the white jumpsuit in the whack shack. I know, I know...I'm strange.

BTW, he was rocking that red shirt. Eventhough I think it's a bit darker than red.

I also like T-Bag's blond hair. And I don't ever want to see Linc's shirt buttoned. The view is just fine.

Yeah, I don't know how long this minority is gonna stay a minority since I like the suit just fine. And I love it with the cap and ergonomical backpack, so endearingly geeky. And, as I said in some other thread not projecting any kind of escaped con vibe so that's good.

The work uniform was very nice, though.

I wonder if WM picked the khaki suit himself because he does seem to have a penchant for khaki pants in many of his candid photos. I don't mind the suit but it'd be nice to have a change...whether it's a red shirt, a green shirt, a tank top, boxer briefs, NO shirt...uh wait, I think I"m getting off track here. ;o)

Seriously though, a tshirt and jeans would be heavenly.
