VID REC: Man From U.N.C.L.E. - Bedroom Toys

Vidder: Nicole D'Annais.
Musical artist: Duran Duran
Pairing: Napoleon Solo/Illya Kuryakin
Vidder on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] ndannais
Vidder's website: Nicole's Fic

Why this vid kicks ass:

Immediately after finding this vid, I e-mailed a fellow Man from U.N.C.L.E. fangirl with just one word in the subject line: SQUEEEEEEEEEE!

This vid combines many of my favourite aspects of this TV show: two sexy men in jeopardy, intentional and unintentional hilarity, and lots of unintentional and very possibly intentional kink (it was the 1960s!). With a perfect sense of timing, Nicole sets some of the best moments to a delicious Duran Duran song about a man who's just discovered things he never suspected about his lover's tastes. By the end of this vid, you will realize why slashers do not need to resort to photomanips in this fandom, and just how sexy 60s TV could be.

Go to Nicole's youtube account and select Bedroom Toys.

I don't think I've laughed this hard since reading [livejournal.com profile] azdak's Project Pygmalion (granted, that was very very recently, but still). An image may be worth a thousand words, but setting it to music is just priceless. Thanks for the rec!
