TOP for High Cut
by girlfriday
TOP (Into the Gunfire, IRIS) poses for High Cut in a book-nerd-meets-pop-star kind of way, which is to say, kooky and kind of adorable. The hair is still crazy, but it’s strangely growing on me. When he showed up to the Blue Dragon Awards looking like that, I sort of lost my lunch, but maybe it’s all about styling, as he manages to pull it off with flair here.
I pretty much think he should live in his glasses. What? I like my boys outwardly nerdy, and inwardly hot. It’s not new, but it’s a classic for a reason.

definitely weird for me too.
ladies, where do we stand on the nerd outside, hot inside debacle? ...i say yes, but i think TOP does NOT count. because... erm... (dont kill me, i know you're out there die-hards)
because nerdy glasses + aw shucks kinda guy = cute
BUT nerdy glasses + outfits like these = hipster.
HIPSTER! ...like the kind who don't like to be CALLED hipster, but turn anyway when you shout out, "HIPSTER!" .....true story.

hipster yes, but still adorably cute bc his personality is so awkward, shy and conservative. there's like no pictures of him topless! or even just revealing his arms.
please help guide me to any of these photos if they do exist!

as a diehard top fangirl, yes there are VERY VERY few pics of top anywhere near showing some skin, but there are a few shirt lifts from Big Bang's La La La era (usually his wifebeater covers anything worth seeing though),
out of the literally hundrdes of top pics -- here is the only ab shot :( http://i54.tinypic.com/2yoaeee.jpg

The pictures are awesome and smooth! The 1st x....I was really shocked! I mean I thought, "Why would you want to look like a Korean younger Andy Warhol??" but to my surprise after looking at it and pondering. He looks very smoldering. It has an inner fire! He carries it so smoothly.
Me too, girlfriday! I like outwardly nerdy but inwardly cool. However, I still want some intellectual prowess accompanied by witty jokes, and sexy stares. Haha!
Ok javabeans or girlfriday....please tell me where I can get that desktop wallpaper of charming Yoo Ah in? I really, really want it! I mean...ALL of your wallpapers I want them BUT especially this one on YAI!!!!

read on Omona that TOP's hairstyle reminds us to Jay Manuel ( of American Next Top Model ), which is true, IMO.
He and G-Dragon always sport weird hairstyles.
I also didn't like when first time I saw it, but indeed it's growing on me. He has this sharp facial structure, combined with his cool / nerdy / cute / quirky expressions, I think he's the best looking one in Big Bang.
I guess he's one example of the idol singer that really can act. But then we never see him on rom com. Oh I wish somebody casts him in one!

I've always had a soft spot for TOP I have no idea why. I think the hair suits him, reminds me of a coconut covered marshmallow with the darker hair peeking through. He looks really good in suits too, altogether nom nom nom...tasty!

He used to have this of Ed Westwick - ish (Chuck Bass, Gossip Girl) aura about him on their Lollipop MV which i totally dig. ^__^
Now, with that hair, he sorta reminds me of Mr. Jay Manuel from America's Next Top Model (the photo shoot creative director) - I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not, but its definitely interesting.

I love the whole package but mainly because I'm very biased with it comes to TOP. And he didn't touch his eyebrows. If he dyed those babies as well I would have probably hated this style.
I just love how lately he's not as awkward as he used to be in photoshoots. He's actually been displaying a lot of confidence.

T.O.P!!!
For some reason I really love the last picture...it's probably the raised eyebrow/careless yawn combo. And I must say his hair is growing on me too. I think it's because his roots are finally coming in, giving him that edgy bad boy look. Oh, the glasses...le sigh, le swoon, le drool.

The hair's been growing on me, especially since that + glasses makes him look less like Spock. XD

TOP's blonde (white?) hair used to bother me at first and I kept thinking, "Change it back, change it back!" but I definitely like it now, maybe because I've gotten used to it.
I like all these pictures and I have to agree, TOP should keep the glasses. It's strangely sexy and nerdy at the same time.

TOP, the most conservative idol. I don't think he ever even wears t-shirts. Like maybe once in a while for shoots or something. But hey, that doesn't stop him from still making girls swoon.

Did anyone read his interview with 10asia on his new album? It's a very interesting and enjoyable read. Always love 10asia interviews. TOP is such a deep thinker. G-Dragon also.

I think I didn't like the hair before because he decided to kill Barney and wear him as a suit. But without the purple, it's not bad. Though I still think he looks better in black hair.

i was thisclose to fighting w/ my twin over HER tabi and brookeve's TOP, but i controlled myself. i'm actually pretty content with just looking. neither of them can ever take that away from me, or it's on.
i didn't realize that there were THISMANY TOP fans on DB. it's a good thing that everyone lives in their own dimensional universe w/ their own versions of Tabi/TOP/dorkw/glasses/nerdyhipster, or this would be a very very violent world. :D
