"My first real crush was Louis Tomlinson." - "That's beautiful, Harry." - SugarScape 13 January 2011 - a day in Larry history
Stuie love @the-larry-way asked me when the beautiful interview was filmed by SugarScape and I went down memory lane and also into Kati @bulletprooflarry's amazing January 2011 Timeline and I got all up in my feels, so I decided to make a whole post about such an important day in Larry history, 13 January 2011:
Harry gets a haircut (tweet)
SugarScape interview and Sugar Magazine photoshoot with “My first real crush was Louis Tomlinson” (video)
SugarScape tweets “Harry and Louis are dancing with each other aahhhhh!” (tweet / post)
look at these babies wrestling their feet 🤣
SugarScape filmed quite few little videos and interviews with One Direction that day and released them over the span of the next few weeks. They posted the first video on the day of the actual photoshoot, 13 January 2011, of Harry and Liam dancing, as linked above.
A day later, they posted a clip from 13 Jan 2011 of Harry juggling:
On 2 Feb 2011, they posted a clip from 13 Jan 2011 of Zayn pronouncing his name:
On 7 Feb 2011, we were gayly blessed with this clip from 13 Jan 2011 of beautifully flamboyant Louis 💖🏳️🌈
On 11 Feb 2011, they posted a clip from 13 Jan 2011 of Liam talking about asking a girl out:
On 17 Feb 2011, we got a clip of Niall from 13 Jan 2011 talking about his celebrity crush:
And finally, on 21 Feb 2011, we were blessed with the cutest clip Harry from 13 Jan 2011 in which he says "his first celebrity crush was Frankie Sandford" (which we all know who she starkly resembled back then [Lou] and about how Harry always kept giving that answer as an easy way out, but to still basically say 'Louis') and then says..
...his "first real crush was Louis Tomlinson" 🥹 SugarScape: "Whoooo? 🤭" Harry: "Louis Tomlinson ☺️" SugarScape: "Louis Tomlinson. How does he feel about you?" Harry: "🙂↕️ Mutual. We've discussed it." (and then I lay down and cry 😭) SugarScape: "Yeah?" Harry: "Yeah. 😌" SugarScape: "That's beautiful, Harry. 🥰" and Harry's face is on the brink of going into his 'I've been committed since I was 16'-mode
Harry was NOT playing with those answers 😌 He said I said what I said! and SugarScape said “that’s beautiful, Harry” and i love that for him.
Stuie @the-larry-way said to me "Honestly it's such a powerful moment. That kind of affirmation so early on is so incredibly important. She could've really crushed his sweet sensitive heart in that moment. It's like she really understood she was talking to a child who was too honest and too vulnerable for his own good and now I'm crying. And my God, it's just.. to me that's a very important moment. Whoever that interviewer is, I hope life is always good and kind to her the way she was kind to this baby who had no idea how hard and cruel the world would be to him because he loves a boy."
And I agree so much. Truly, what a key moment that was caught on camera 🥹 when so many powerful adults back then told them their love was wrong and people would hate and not accept them for it and that they needed to break up, an affirmation like that one went SUCH a long way, i am sure! 🥹
On 23 Feb 2011, SugarScape post the final video from that day, 13 Jan 2011, a behind the scenes of the photoshoot:
aaaand the rest of the timeline for the day:
Louis posts “Secret Video Diary” from X Factor on Twitter, which is about 3 minutes of him searching for Harry (tweet / video)
