There Is Some AwesomeSauce Out There!

Sometimes I run across blogs, and I’m all like “Sahweet,” and the blogs all like “Dude, tell people about me.” and I’m all like “Yayah! For Sure!” and then nothing happens.

Well, I think I’ve gathered enough AwesomeSauce to make a go around here, so let's begin.

If you are dying for Alice In Wonderland to come out, and you want to live inside Tim Burton’s mind, then check out this site; Tim Burton Collective News As for me, I’m obsessed with the man, creatively speaking, and between him and Danny Elfman, I’m not sure who has more awesomesauce. BTW, first concert ever; Oingo Boingo on Halloween Night!

Now let me share my most beloved Tim Burton piece; It is a clip, a poem, written by Tim Burton, recited by Vincent Price, fashioned in the style of Edgar Allen Poe... *swoooon* What is a girl to do...



Next up; Fanfiction virgins. Never really read a fanfiction or just found the whole thing confusing, irritating, just not your bag baby? Well, I’m going to link you direct to one particular story, that I really think you will like and guess what? She has removed it from fanfiction, and uploaded it to a blog. Real simple, and easy to read. The story is Emancipation Proclomation, and it is about a young girl, a slave in modern times, and her journey through life, love and sorrow. Very well written and I triple dog dare you to read a few chapters without crying. All joking aside, you will be swept up in this tale of mafia, human trafficking, and two people, drawn together by love. Click story for link. (Just a little note, I love author's blogs, because there is much more information there, like photos, playlists, interviews.. Much more entertaining, and I encourage you to start looking at Author's blogs, if they have the full story uploaded, rather than Twilighted.net, etc..)

So you say fanfiction sucks ass, and you want the real thing. Like a real book! No problemo. A group of talented ladies, who came together like a band of super heroes, has started their very own book blog. Way awesomesauce, I don’t even have words. The Blog is called; Bewitched Bookworms and you can find book reviews, of all genres, there, neatly packaged in one beautiful blog. Plus I adore each of these wonderfully talented ladies, so please stop by their new blog and say 'wassup'.

But what’s that you say? You love all things Vampires, Werewolves, and anything that will eat your flesh in the night? Well... than check out Horror Blogger Alliance. A fairly new site, this growing community of horror awesomeness is your all ‘source for horror’. With a fairly large collection of blogs, yours truly included, it also features great posts on the wonderfully seductive world of Horror and things that go bump in the night. A must, if you are a fan of the genre.

A little fact about me. My uncle (who does not have kids) made it a tradition, every Thanksgiving (I know, weird huh) to show me the 'scariest' movie he'd ever seen. (Where were my parents? Geez!). The first horror flick I can recall my uncle showing me, Phantasm. Do you remember that stupid silver ball?

I plan to collect AwesomeSauce, as I find it, so you can always email me links, if you have blogs you'd like me to check out.

Time For Some True Blood News Baby!!

Over at Vampire News I spotted that the folks who brought you Twilight and Philosophy, now bring you True Blood and Philosophy; We Want To Think Bad Things With You.

Now True Blood and Philosophy calls on the minds of some of history's great thinkers to perform some philosophical bloodletting on such topics as Sookie and the metaphysics of mindreading; Maryann and sacrificial religion; werewolves, shapeshifters and personal identity; vampire politics, evil, desire, and much more.

Should you desire this book, for some reason, you can pre-order it at Amazon.com

Next up, over at Trueblood-News.com The Debate over Bill’s fate, or as I affectionately call it. Kill Bill!

Alan Ball’s response;

"Stephen Moyer will not be marginalized. The characters of Bill and Sookie may go through some rough patches that may last longer than team Sookie/Bill might like but Bill and Sookie have a connection that will never die in the TV world. I know in the book world that Charlaine had to be talked out of killing Bill in the last book but I’m saying in our world Sookie and Bill have a connection that will not die."

Honolulu Girl’s response to Alan Ball; 

"Damn you Alan Ball! Bill can suck it! First off, do something with his hair. That helmet of dark fur you have on his head, bugs the fuck out of me, and I’m sure PETA at any moment, will protest your studio until you stop using dead animals for wigs. I say that respectively."

Charlaine Harris’s response to Alan Ball;

"I understand that Alan was commenting on the differences between the future of the series and the plot of the books at Paleyfest, and remarked that I’d been “talked out of” killing Bill. That’s leaving an inaccurate impression with many readers, my moderators have told me.

Unfortunately, in a conversation with Alan some months ago I did tell him that when I was finishing DEAD AND GONE I did consider the possibility that Bill might die in the fairy assault on the field hospital. I did not realize that Alan might remember and repeat my words. During the course of the Sookie series, I’ve considered killing off several characters who haven’t bitten the dust yet and may never. That’s one of the choices a fiction writer considers with every book. And you’ll notice that in the end, I decided that Bill had more story to tell.

So please don’t give Alan’s words any more weight than they’re due, or blow them out of proportion. It never occurred to me that he might repeat a casual remark of mine about a possibility that never came to pass.”

Honolulu Girl’s response to Charlaine Harris’s response to Alan Ball; *whew* 

“Charlaine, just say it. Alan wasn’t stoned enough when you two smoked out in the van, near the Walmart on Canal Blvd, but you thought he was, and you revealed all your inner secrets, including the one where you kill Bill, and the other, your fascination with Greek men. It happens, but I got your back. You kill Bill, if you need to! I support you!”

Last I leave you with a fangtastic fanmade Season 3 trailer, because June can’t come fast enough. Source; SMVGrey74 It’s all about Betrayal, Undiscovered Love and... the Werewolves. *ahwooo That was me, howling*

Pimping My New Videos Out For Your Viewing Pleasure!

The first, is a video I just made last night. Basically, I’ve outgrown my new software, but who the fuck do I think I am, Pixar? I’ve asked hubby to upgrade me to the $1,000 bump, but he has refused. Um, er, okay. So anyway... This video is a collection (and a small one at that) of manips. I tried to pick the best ones, and for those that get creeped out by them, I completely understand, but my vagina doesn’t seem to know the difference and is easily fooled, so I happen to enjoy them. 

This next video I made, is about two weeks old, and let me explain. I first chose a song. That song will prompt a theme in my head, then I blend in video that references that theme. That’s how my brain works; Song/Theme/Make Video. I was a little worried about using vintage Burlesque dancing, but damn it’s cool. Those bitches back then... *who are very old right now* were HOT! 

For anyone who wants to know about videos, I use a Mac and do my editing with Final Cut Express. 

Enjoy your weekend!

Wolves Still Don't Turn Me On!

Look, we all like a 'hot' wolf, right? Especially if their penises are 104 degrees. Why that's pratically a bed warmer if he sticks it right between your butt cheeks. Perfect!

So naturally we were drawn to WolfMan when it hit theaters last Friday. After watching it on Valentine's Day, I *coughed* forced asked my newly converted twihoor friend, to write a review. You know I have a thing for homeless men, that look like Benecio Del Toro, so I would not be one to give a fair review.

So here goes my twibestie's post debut. We shall call her, KP!

Hit KP!
__________________________________

Wolves still don’t turn me on….but BDT has a chance!
I know we didn’t really get to discuss The Wolfman, our movie choice for our Valentine’s Day night out with the hubbys so here’s my view (I can’t really call it a review b/c I don’t feel I am qualified to pass judgment, but I am going to anyway). I am or at least I try to be a positive person and although The Wolfman was predictable and a bit of a snore there was one bright spot named Benicio Del Toro (in his non-wolf form) oh, and the popcorn was good. I know your “homeless man on crystal meth” theory with your confession that you would not kick BDT out of your bed and he did look pretty hot in some scenes but I lost interest after he went all wolfie on me. The predictability could be blamed on the movie’s 1941 predecessor which they changed a little so why not surprise us more. After all, they made Lawrence Talbot grow up in America so apparently he did not need to learn an English accent. Why not let Gwen find some crazy gypsy love cure because in the end it lacked substance. Where was the struggle between good and evil? At the very least they could have had an animalistic love scene before she kills him dead in his tracks. I am not saying I expected Gwen to transform so they could have little baby pups and be the wolf version of Twilight, but I wanted more. Since I am undoubtedly comparing this to the Twilight saga (as any Twihard fan would do) for the fun of it, let’s see where Wolfman falls short:

The Wolf Man Twilight / New Moon

Leading Man
Benicio Del Toro as Lawrence Talbot *pant*   
Rob Pattinson as Edward Cullen *drool*

Depth of Character
No emotion / connection other than physical   
Extremely Deep on all facets *still drooling*

Leading Lady
Emily Blunt as Gwen      
Kristen Stewart as Bella

Depth of Character
Her character never really developed and she didn’t have the internet to figure out how to save her man. I did not want to be her.
Yes, we all hate / envy her but even in all of her eye-blinking, stammering, whiney glory, she got HIM! And we all wanted to be her!

Love Story
Girl kills guy / wolf....no real love there, I kept thinking she was going to tell him she loved him as they were gazing in each other’s eyes and then nothing!??? *scratches head*
Girl gets / keeps the guy / vampire (I’m a sap for a happily ever after)

Special Effects
Loved the transformation / shape shifting, but not the end result; the fight scene between father and son was boring and I couldn’t believe how easy it was to kill a wolf…that was like the airplane game you play as a kid where you lift your friend up in the air with your feet….and then launch them to see how far they will go…(not a good idea to play this near the fireplace unless you want to torch said friend)
Shape shifting very cool, loved sparkly-Edward, and the fight scene between Edward and Felix was awesome…I could feel his pain when his face cracked (someone grab me a tissue)!

Wolf
Benicio Del Toro as the Wolfman     
Taylor Lautner as Jacob Black / Wolf

Wolf Transformation
The wolf man was neither hot nor scary and in fact was a little reminiscent of Michael J. Fox’s Teen Wolf; they should have stopped about ¾ of the way in the transformation where he was still a little hot and evil. Jacob’s wolf had its moments of looking scary and vulnerable at the same time (all in the eyes)….I felt sorry for him. Plus he only killed to protect which is honorable.

When all is said and done, it was an “entertaining” movie, but needless to say I will not be standing in line at midnight to get the DVD when it’s released! Although, it would be cool if they cast BDT in Breaking Dawn. I would love to see him as a vampire!
________________________

*Whew* Thanks KP on that recap! Now fucking PETA will hate me for talking shit on wolves. That's cool, I'll take the rap...

So speaking of vampires for Breaking Dawn. Let's take a look at KP's candidate; Benecio Del "homeless man on crystal meth" Toro.



*thinks real hard* I need to pick someone who isn't going to say "Fuck You" when approached by Summit. So it can't be the obvious, like Johnny Depp, or Leo. Hmmm.
Got it! Channing Tatum. I know you what you are saying but he's cross eyed. Yes, he may be, but he's hot and his Vampire power can involve those cross eyes of his. So he gets my vote for Breaking Dawn Vampire.
So how about you? Who would you choose for Breaking Dawn and do not say Wesley Snipes! Or I'll samurai sword your right arm.

Rob Can Give It To Me Right Anytime!

Middle of the week... stomach aches... homework not done... time to vacuum... what's for dinner...

ARGH!

Time for a little R&R with Rob.

I threw this together last night, only because I dedicated the song to Rob. Don't get me wrong, Rob warns me that he can give it to me right, anytime I'm interested in bending over a table, butt side up. It's just, instead of making him a mix tape, er, I mean mix cd for those that don't know what tapes are, I make my boyfriend Rob, videos.

So this is a little mix of something new, something erotic, something Rome and all Rob. No effects... just his hotness, as I would like to call him. Sir Hotness.

UPDATE: Biel fucking trumps my ass on the same day with her fucking own awesomeness!

Mick St. John Gets ‘Lost’ In Hawaii

Hawaii Five-O Bitches!

Alex O’Loughlin and Daniel Day Kim have been cast as the new duo, for the revised Hawaii Five-O. Most of you remember Alex O’Loughlin, as the steamy Vampire on Moonlight (16 episodes from 2007-2008).  Don’t remember? Hmm. Okay, maybe this will jog your memory.

Get it? He’s hot! Sooooo.... Guess this means Mick St. John is moving to the islands. What? He won’t answer, if I call him Mick? (BTW, Moonlight confession. I have only seen a few episodes... *hangs head in shame*)

But hey, let’s not forget Daniel. Um, being a huge Lost fan, I was pleased to see that Daniel landed himself another job, allowing him to remain in Hawaii, to which his kids and wife have become so fond of. 

I love Lost for some many reasons... but here are just a few.

Oops, that’s not Daniel.

Damn it, that’s not Daniel either.

Still not Daniel...

Oh! There he is. That’s Daniel!

Is it just me.... Or are they men really hot on Lost?

So let’s take look at something. Emilie De Ravin is on Lost, but her movie Remember Me, with Rob Pattinson of Twilight, comes out in March. 

Michael Emerson is on Lost, and is married to Carrie Preston, who plays Arlene Fowler on True Blood.

And there is your random True Blood/Twilight Degrees of Separation. Buh bye!

Also, thanks to Susie my hardcore Alex O'Loughlin fan for letting me know! I promise not to make out with him while he's here. K.

Fanfiction; The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

There’s some confusion as to what exactly is happening over at Fanfiction, and I thought I’d take a moment to try and gather as much information for you, the reader/author, as possible.

First off, TOS. TOS refers to Fanfics Terms of Service. You can find them here, TOS.

As a reader/author, read them carefully. You agree to them, when you signed up for your account.

Next, there is community etiquette. This I will reprint, as it pertains to those who upload work, and those that take it upon themselves to police other people’s stories. (As I affectionately call them, FF Popo, or Fanfic 5.0.)

1) Spell check all story and poetry. There is no excuse for not performing this duty. If you do not have a word processor that has the spell checking feature, use a search engine such as Google.com to find one.
2) Proofread all entries for grammar and other aspects of writing before submission. 'Hot off the press' content is often riddled with errors. No one is perfect but it is the duty of the writer to perform to the best of his/her ability.
3) Respect the reviewers. Not all reviews will strictly praise the work. If someone rightfully criticizes a portion of the writing, take it as a compliment that the reviewer has opted to spend his/her valuable time to help improve your writing.

4) Everyone here is an aspiring writer. Respect your fellow members and lend a helping a hand when they need it. Like many things, the path to becoming a better writer is often a two way street.
5) Use proper textual formatting. For example: using only capital letters in the story title, summary, or content is not only incorrect but also a disregard for the language itself.

Last comes the big one, and the kicker. Ratings. This is by far, one of the main reasons for FF to send an email asking for a censored version of the chapter.

(Please note FanFiction.Net does not accept explicit content, Fiction Rating: MA, and the rating is only presented for reference.)

Since there is not an MA, most authors use the M rating, however definition of M, is as follows; 

Suitable for teens, 13 years and older, with some violence, minor coarse language, and minor suggestive adult themes.

So to sum things up, unless FF decides to add an MA rating, which I really wish they would, most stories being asked to be censored or completely valid. Any story still up and running, is violating FF’s guidelines, and hey, we are all guilty as charged for either reading a great Adult story, or *coughing* writing one. 

Now for the options....

If you have been referred to a story that may have been pulled, simply go to the author’s profile. Most likely, if it still exists, it will list where you can find their stories. Many are in the process of having a blog, along side with uploaded stories at either Twilighted, Live Journal, or The Writers Coffee Shop.

The only shame in this, is that our beautiful haven of Fanfic, will now slowly disappear, to which I have grown so fond of, and *sheds a tear* will miss. 

If you head over to The Twilight Awards, they are awesome about updating on all things Fanfic (plus fucking hilarious! Check out their retaliation post. I have fallen in love with them). As their banner reads, they are your source for everything twific and have done a good job in explaining the logic to pulled stories. Plus as an author, they have listed the pros/cons to each site. Hit follow, for sure! 

So to sum things up, Lemons are bad on FF. Really bad! No more contests, relating to how Edward’s first homosexual experience went down, no more bad girl Bella with a whip stories, no more erotica. Period. 

Since I am clearly in violation, I too am looking for a new home for my story, so I will be creating a blog  just for my erotic fairy tales, and uploading to The Writers Coffee Shop. Links will be on this blog, and on my author’s profile. 

BTW, if you truly are passionate about writing. I suggest you join the Writer’s Market. You pay a small fee per month, but you are given access to the literary world.

Oh My Gawd! How Many Times Can I Die?

Thank you VeryRobsessed for putting together the Details/Vogue spread to a nice little juicy video. She also did the slow mo shower video down below.

Here’s the other video that’s been floating around. ljpl1



Any in case you forgot... Shower scenes with Rob are fucking hot (in slow motion)! 

Okay, seriously have a good weekend and Happy Valentines Day.

So Much Hotness.. It's Friday Bitches!

I'm not one to post news.... but my GAWD. What a week of hotness.

First off, Last night's Vampire Diaries kicked ass. Kathleen not being in the tomb, was a huge stray from the books, but brilliant! Plus we see, true tender moments between Elena and Damon. *DIED* When she hugs him after he realizes Kathleen has been alive this whole time, I almost squeed really loud and had reached my Damon overload, but quickly caught glimpse of the hubby laying on the couch and my Damon level dropped a few notches enabling me to watch the rest of the show. "Oh sweetness, fuck Kathleen. Come visit me! I'll console you!"

So I give you 'The Ass' courtesy of Our Life On No List. The ladies over there love Damon and provide me with hotness and porn, and there's nothing better than the two.

Damon.... Sweet Jezebel...

Ladies! Can I have the moving clip please?

Next, I must talk about Bel Ami. Can anymore sex come out of France? The country stinks of it, and thus why I must move there. (I speak of the book that the movie is based on).

Now, I saw the recent pics over at Bel Ami, but Lisa at 17Forever had pics posted, that were in a few words... M.E.S.M.E.R.I.Z.I.N.G. (for all you Beautiful Creatures fans) Being extremely busy this week, it was nice to see that beautiful face, I had come to love.

This man haunts my dreams.

Not really, but fuck I wish I could have wet dreams of Rob!

I will try tonight.

For all you dog fans, Taycob turned 18 and I'm sorry. No photos of him, because he is only a three months older than my son. Ewww. Plus as someone pointed out, he has a long neck. I am weiry of men with long necks, but... I guess that might mean?

Then over at RiotGurl and Whyse, there is a post on accents. Ohhhh. Wha...? I was too busy looking at the hot photos, but RiotGurl is very witty and I adore her blog. You must check out her recent post on all things related to the tongue.

James McAvoy

Remember him from Wanted?

I wanted him.

Last... Guess what comes out today?

Three words. Benicio Del Toro. I know some of you are saying he looks like a homeless man on Crystal Meth, but I say to you... I'd fuck him. I'm just saying.

Last, Happy Valentines Day!

If Edgar Allen Poe gave you a card, it would be...

Anne Rice's Angel Time

Lately I've been out of sorts, trying to juggle writing a fanfic, just writing, reading fanfic, just reading... Oh what's a girl to do. There's just not enough time in the day, because of those other pesky tasks. Kids and exercise. Yup. I know. Kids can fend for themselves and how come I don't just starve and lose weight that way.

Well... all kidding aside. What I've been struggling with is far worse. A bad book. Have you ever started reading a book and was determined to finish it, even though it sucked?

That was what I had been going through and it's torture...

It all started with my husband deciding to be the first to read Anne's new book. He actually finished it in record time, but had not one good thing to say about it and just urged me to read it. Why? Because what he likes, and what I like are two different worlds... So I open the book, eager to become immersed in her world of words, and then fall asleep.

On several occasions. Seriously.

The book is soooo boring, I can't even put into words, how boring it is.

The just of the book (no spoilers) is that a young man who has sinned considerably his whole adult life, as a hit man, is given the opportunity to redeem himself and do God's work, lead by an Angel.

The concept is fine, but the problem lies with the actual story itself, in that it is anti-climatic and overall, predictable. The only interesting part of the story is learning of the hit man's life and how he came to be the ruthless killer, that he is now, but that is only a few pages in length. Honestly, it felt that the first third of the book was spent on how much the hit man, Toby, loves the Mission Inn, and then goes into great detail to describe the hotel. *snores*

I assume that this will be the first of several other books in this series and hopefully it will get better.
Anne is an overwhelming detailed author and no doubt can tell a story, it's just that... this story is a bit boring, and anyone that says it is enthralling and captivating, might have been stoned when they read it. I'm just saying.. so as much as I love that woman to tears, I have to say... Anne Rice Fail on Angel Time. Sorry, I didn't love it. I didn't even like it. I just existed with it near my bed for several months, as I struggled to get through it and let me tell you... I paid a shit load for this book because it's signed by Anne, herself. So please understand, I am one of her biggest fans and always will be.

So what am I reading next? Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl.

A Little True Blood News

It's February! Only four more months till SEASON 3!!! *starts sweating* I can't wait! I'm so nervous. I must block that day ahead of time, and there will be no allowance for any emergency, unless it involves a broken bone. Blood, NO, broken bone, YES, then I'll remove myself from the TV.

Alcide's little sister has been cast, and frankly I don't know who she is. Apparently she had a role on Heroes, but after the writer's strike, I stopped watching that show. Too many twists.. speaking of? Who watched the premier of Lost last night! Are we excited to finally get some freaking answers?

Anyhoo, Dawn Olivieri will play Janice Herveaux. Debbie Pelt is still yet to be cast, and that will be the big one. At least according to the books, that character should be pivotal for about two seasons. So I'm curious to see who they have in mind.

What the fuck am I going to do with this? Why can't you make a regular doll, so I can battle him against my Edward Cullen doll? Huh? I can't play with this piece of shit! I can't even move his fucking legs. No why? Cause they're aren't any!! That's why! Who fucking thought of this? Why would anyone just want a stump. A stump! A stump, I say! Now, go back. Fabricate a real Eric Northman doll... Go, begone!

The Story of O; The Bible to Erotica

(Today's book cover will be all white, no picture)

I was first introduced to the elusive literature by Anne Rice, herself, hidden within the words of her own erotic story, Exit to Eden. In her novel, the book is noted by the main character to be among an array of books, more notably, that of sexual context. My curiosity had peaked, and I began to do some research on the book.

What I encountered, was not at all what I had expected. Published in 1954, quietly in both French and English by Paris-based Olympia Press, the story did not stir much attention, until the next year, when it won the Prix De Deux Magots, a prestigious French Literary prize, awarded to new work that is both unconventional and unusual. 

The book then began to take upon it, a life of it’s own, when the identity of it’s author was challenged. Certainly for it’s time, the work was assumed to have been written by a man, for no women, in that era, had dared to write such elicit tales of sexual encounters. We must remember, that both in England and America, censorship was taking precedence, over both literally, visual, and musical works. 

The Story of O, is one that seems to be told by a third person, and observer. As the reader, you are only given what is assumed, by the interpreter, and never delves deep within each characters mind. Frustrating at times, we can only wonder. 

O, a beautiful Parisian photographer, is asked by her lover Rene to visit a location, to which is not revealed to her, until they are upon it’s gate. Chateau Roissy, as it is called, appears to be a hidden training compound of sorts, where O is stripped of her identity, and of the outside world. 

Within, she is sexually abused, forced into submission, and whipped daily, all with her lover’s knowledge and consent. Though, we can only assume, that O has been made aware of what Rene’s intention were to begin with, and because of her undying devotion to him, unknowingly to the reader, has submitted her body, before she has entered Roissy. 

Once her training is complete, we learn, that she is now apart of something so secretive, and sinister in nature. She is a submissive. Secretly collared by not a necklace, but a ring that can not be removed, symbolically announcing to those that know the symbol, her new identity. 

Through this dark tale, of love, we follow O, as she is handed off by her lover, but once again, to his step brother, Sir Stephen, as he is named in the story. This is where the tale, takes unusual and unexpected turns, again leaving the reader frustrated, but curious to why one would subject her body to such cruelness. 

In the end, the chapters have been removed, leaving the audience, those who have invested in this brilliant masterpiece, as sense of dread, and despair. We never do really understand O’s feelings, nor what has happened to her, except for written words of two simplified outcomes. 

I must say, I had a hard time at first, adjusting to being an outsider, but in the end, I was in awe of the words that I had read. Truly an artistic masterpiece, and considered to be the bible of Erotica, for nothing by a women, had ever been written, it is one, that any who enjoys literature should read.

Interestingly the author, Anne Desclos, finally admitted to her identity, a few years before her death, in 1998. The story was written, for her then lover, Jean Paulhan, as a series of short stories (love letters), as she pursued her challenge to prove to Jean, that women were capable of writing erotica. For more information.

Now, speaking of Erotica... My video.

 

 

Thank you Lisa, for first posting this video~
