I saw this* and then I started missing academia once more and also really, really wanted to move to London. But, you know, life isn’t so bad. Thursday I’ll be baby-sitting the Old Maiden Aunt studio as Lilith’s away, so do pop by West Kilbride if you fancy buying some lovely handpainted yarn and a chat over some tea and knitting.
Via John (and presumably everybody else on the interwebs): Buffy Summers meets Edward Cullen.
“It’s an example of transformative storytelling serving as a visual critique of Edward’s character and generally creepy behavior. Seen through Buffy’s eyes some of the more patriarchal gender roles and sexist Hollywood tropes embedded in the Twilight saga are exposed in hilarious ways.”
As John says, “..I have a sneaking feeling that a Spike meets Edward Cullen remix would [also] be a thing of beauty and a joy forever.”
* I nearly fainted when I saw Jewel Spears Brooker was speaking on “The Fire and the Rose: Eliot and Julian of Norwich”. Phoawr!
Shall text you at some point, as I am developing an interesting plan involving my new bike, trains and heading to WK by a combination of the two for a bite of lunch, a natter and yarn fondling.
I loose at the interwebs these days, so thanks for that vid-pointer. Loved it (no surprise there) … thanks, hon. Oh, and btw, your personal photographer is doing quite a good job these days, his Naomi Watts delusion must be inspiring him ;) (Wish I could bike up as well, btw, miss you too, hon)
@Unblinkered: TBH, if you want to fondle yarn, you might want to wait until Lilith’s back ;)
@DK: No bother, darling. I knew you’d love it :) I’ll pass the compliment on to Dave – he’ll be chuffed. Yes, I miss you a helluva lot. All those lazy afternoons at Dolores .. we should have savoured them a lot more. I might call upon you for some design inspiration, but I’ll mail you about that at some point in the future.
I’ll have a ponder – mainly, I want to roadtest my bike a bit and make the best of the weather. And I figured popping in to see you and Lillith’s workshop was a good excuse for a trip! ;)
