"Hot" Magazine Interview excerpt with Colin Morgan...
Interviewer: is that how you pick up girls?
Bradley: I actually pick up girls with various displays of origami.
Interviewer: You do not.
Bradley: Yes, I do. It's quite a famous tactic here in England. The better you are at origami, the more women you attract.
Interviewer: And you're sure it's not because they recognise you from the show?
Colin: Well, generally they're too distracted by the origami.
Bradley: Yes. My house is origami. I've got a car that I drove here today that is made from origami.
Interviewer: It must be very environmentally friendly.
Bradley: Yeah, big time.
Interviewer: Alright, Colin, coming back to Merlin - do you believe in magic?
Colin: After watching Bradley drive around in his origami car, I believe in everything.
Interviewer: Okay. Do you own anything origami?
Colin: No, I'm an origami wannabe. I've actually started up a support group because some people have a deficiency in their systems where they can't actually fold things. I'm a part of that group, and it seems to affect people from Northern Ireland. Anyone prone to paper cuts shouldn't even enter the origami game. It's a rough industry and certainly if you don't have thick skin, you're going to lose.
Interview: Let us guess, we're your first interview of the day, aren't we?
Colin: Yes!
Interviewer: And this is how you like to start your day?
Bradley: ...I usually start my day with origami.

– Why “I prefer small boobs” isn’t helping (via sociolab) Nothing is more annoying than reading or commenting online about body image issues and having a guy wander in and proclaim that he finds all kinds of women attractive and we don’t even need to wear makeup anyway.  (via feminist-submissive)
