When we saw the exhibit of Moonlight costumes at the FIDM in Los Angeles last summer, MyImmortal laid a sheet of paper next to the boots of Mick's costume in order to get a rough idea of how long they were. Although that was obviously an imperfect measurement tool, the boots appeared to be as long as the 11" sheet of paper, or maybe a fraction of an inch shorter. Assuming that they were exactly 11 inches long, that is a size 11 according to this conversion chart:
http://shoes.about.com/od/fitcomfort/a/men_inches.htm
Now, on the show, Mick looked like he had much bigger boots than that. But don't forget, he also looked bigger all over than Alex does in person (according to those incredibly lucky people who've seen him in person, that is--alas, I never have!). So...either the boots in the costume exhibit were not the ones that Alex actually wore, or he's about a 10 1/2 to an 11 shoe size.
I know, I know...the shoes in that picture do look like they're a lot bigger than a size 11. But I'm just telling you what I saw.
(edited to fix a typo)
Alle dear, as much creedance as I give my own amazing ability to eyeball a shoe size from a 2 by 3 inch picture on a computer screen, well, let's just say I will deign to give even MORE creedance to MyImmortal actually measuring the damn shoes... So gracias mija for the info! And they're still shiny...

I love the dedication to accuracy!
Well, in What's Left Behind, Mick did say his shoe size was 10 1/2, so maybe that was accurate, huh?
I have noticed some shoe styles make his feet look bigger than others, but I would think 10 1/2 or 11 sounds pretty accurate.
Now.....what's the guesstimation on glove/hand size?

There were no gloves to measure, alas!
You know it wasn't me...I was just awestruck and gobsmacked looking at the costumes. It was MyImmortal and her endless quest for more and more knowledge about Moonlight stuff. If only we had some gloves to measure, I'm sure she'd know what size they are...

Not much to add, except: don't you freakin' love my new avi???
My personal designer extraordinaire, Guardian Angel, did it for me.

alle~~I know. I saw that pic today, and haven't stopped obsessing over it. Thank God that GA is such a doll, because I wanted it bad.
I am shamelessly squeeing over my Alex avi.

Love the avi Fleur!

To think when I posted the pic earlier, I randomly clicked on a few files in PB and almost blew past it!

It's all due to you.
I need to give credit to you, mwj, because if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been obsessing over this photo of Alex today!! Thanks so much for posting it and agreeing to let me use it.
You have excellent taste in your photo choosing. I have seen some of the luscious Mick St. John ones you have posted.

Agreeing completely with you msj.
He is beautiful, and I don't mind the shoes either! I like his quirky fashion sense, then again, I didn't mind the cardigan either.....

I'm another one of those who doesn't care what he wears. He'd look good in a trashbag. LOL Didn't mind the cardy, love the quirky flowery shows and his love of hats. You never know what the heck that man will wear when he shows up at various events.
Can't tell you how excited I am to see what he'll wear to the BBM Con.

I am excited for all of you going, Christy! Do come back willing to tell-all!!
And yes, he looks good in everything... but he does have a funky sartorial style and ML wardrobe department did him a world of good... so today, with our pics and comments we have established he is a goofy, funny, funky, beautiful, buff, poetic soul with both shiny AND flowery shoes. Did I miss anything? IS there anything else?
