Let no one say that those posts have not been productive - what's a better produce than sparks of happiness and smiles spread the world over? 
(Can't help but grin at the irony - the one who brought us this latest batch of gorgeous hair pictures has a "plethora of hair" at home - even if it's slightly different kind of hair. Hirsute 4th indeed, in many ways...  )
It sounds like our Midsummer Eve bonfires don't require nearly as much planning as your 4th of July fireworks over there. We can just drive (or walk, cycle or row...) from one bonfire to the next, or stay by the closest one until it's time for something else midsummerish - no traffic jams because "everyone" is at their summer cottages or in the countryside. But the bonfires are by lakesides and on hilltops, in nature - no drugstores, no restrooms.  So it's better to go prepared and take some refreshments & snacks to go with.
Many thanks for the pics and especially that beautiful Thorin-smile!  Oh, it's been HOT here for a few days now - the real summer did begin a little over a week after Midsummer Eve - and looking at that smile for too long might give one a heatstroke... *looks for some ice cold drinks and possibly a cold shower*

Oh, this sounds so lovely! And so Middle Earth! Well, of course, there are more local U.S. celebrations, and depending on what the state and local laws are, some folks will have smaller fireworks of their own that they light off (and alas, there are accidents every year...).
*Snigger* about the plethora of hair...yes, somewhere out there is an unsung hero, who invented:
Which has saved many hundreds by letting one just snag their own hair out of a clogged drain - it works, but so disgusting what gets pulled out!  Still, a CLEVER and CHEAP little gadget.
More soon, but I have GOT to go do something *productive*, although:

*Bows deeply* - yes, yes . Perhaps it is best to spread JOY, in a world so often GRAY. So:
Nothing wrong with a little 'shopped Thorin (courtesy of Pryftan who does such nice work on YouTube). To me this is suitably godlike, which Thorin is of course is.

Now that's something I'd pay money to see!  We've still got all the A-roll footage to look forward to, plus all the BOFA BTS, as well as fan art. I think we'll have enough to tide us over for quite some time.
Thorin gazes out at the bonfires the fan-gir-iells have lit in front of the gates of Erebor.
Happy 4th to you too!

...In this thread, that is...
LOL at the cleaning product - but this IS a hair thread so technically we are still on topic. (Over here we use something like this under the shower drain's cover, it's like a little changeable sieve: click)
That fiery godlike Thorin is most impressive - nothing wrong indeed...
This seems to fit summer themes, (bon)fires, and Kim's "If this is to end in fire" pic...

Now that's something I'd pay money to see! We've still got all the A-roll footage to look forward to, plus all the BOFA BTS, as well as fan art. I think we'll have enough to tide us over for quite some time.  . Those *crystallized moments in time* (or rather, because some folks are geeks who just can't resist flipping through EVERY FRAME of certain scenes, and then going back and doing it again, just to make sure every SCINTILLATING DETAIL is permanently burned in your mind. And even then, it's not enough.)
And so, rather than go match those socks and doing other assorted BORING chores...some *precious* fleeting hair moments, like the melting nightshadows of Thorin's hair:
A particularly HAIRY and completely charming moment - IMO worth the cost of the EE alone!
As was this. This get replayed a lot, because in high resolution it's beyond stunning.
*Flowing* hair action!
Twilight hair and the eyes of a saint *THUD*
I'm convinced that Thranduil was so *snarky* because deep down inside, he knew, upon seeing Thorin again, that the rumors were true - that a DWARF had come to claim the crown for "best hair in Middle Earth". Ever.
Here we see 1) Thorin's hair being particularly gloriously *insane* and 2) Thorin more than a little irritated at having his hair sniffed as he was dragged from the throne room. As he complained to Balin, "it's a little weird having elves smell your hair" but since PJ loves elves, he opted to cut the line.

Every time I watch the EE and the dwarves arrive at Laketown, IMO that scene gets more ADORABLE
Even after getting covered in FISH, Thorin just looks AMAZING
Dwarf pile-up - too ADORABLE!
Balin having his own action hair moment!
And the *shimmering honey-gold locks* of Fili - yep, the Durin bloodline is STRONG in the HAIR!!!

Those fleeting, glorious, all-too-brief frames when you just wanna thank whatever gods of fate allowed you to witness a being like Thorin.
Except for *the stick*, the man dwarf is simply living art. OMG, the HAIR

Wwwwwwelllll - in the U.S. we also have little drain traps and whatnot, but LOL hair - much like *dust balls* that magically appear under the bed - I think all hair must have some sort of life of its own, in that it seems to spontaneously generate just about anyplace. So, I was reading where some guy swore by packing a clogged drain with baking soda and then heaving in vinegar, and doing this repeatedly. I can speak from personal experience that this is a lot of fun, because it all bubbles up like some crazed science experiment.
Although if I fished Thorin's hair out of a drain, I'd tenderly wash and dry it and then take it to a jeweler to set in crystal and gold (but seeing as this is a family-friendly site there will be NO speculation on how Thorin's hair could wind up in anyone's drains.  What happens in Erebor, stays in Erebor.)
So moving right along, how about a little golden Fili?
Yep, the Crown Prince has the profile thing goin' on....just LOOK at the sumptuous richness of those thick honey-waves....
Even Bilbo is getting in on the *hair action*!
And - for the *bonfire*:
The face of an ANGEL and the HAIR of a GAWD....

Thank you for that! The perfect ending to a holiday weekend - glorious Sunday night Thorinizing
And now Poldark is on...

OMG, was that episode HOT or WHAT? Wonder if we can handle a "shirtless" thread?
Um, probably NOT *Thud!* Darn those Durins!

But in this picture Fili and Kili are standing protectively in front of Ori and Dori, who both look so frightened...
Definitely an "Awwww, how sweet" moment!

In that first pic, even Ori is rocking some pretty impressive hair!
OK, now I'll have the image of the elves sniffing Thorin's hair as they drag him backwards down the stairs, so thanks for that!
