Recount - that HBO movie?

It's Danny Strong's! (Somehow that escaped me.)

TWOP interviews Danny Strong and David Bianculi reviews it.

Oops...wrong thread. Moved to Beep Me.

I know a lot of Buffistas are on LJ, and I know we like to vote. Right now, there's an election going on for the LJ Advisory Board.

Scroll down for a list of candidates and links to their platforms.

(At this point, I don't have any recommendations other than: please don't vote for jameth. He would not make a good Buffista.)

LAistas: I just got a notification from Thrillist that might interest you cupcake lovers:

Eat: Free Cupcakes at Crumbs

Tomorrow at 216 N Larchmont Blvd, Hancock Park; 323.464.8400

To celebrate their latest opening, Crumbs is giving away free 'cakes to their first 1000 customers, from pistachio and carrot to childhood faves like Reese's Pieces and Oreo Cookie -- the perfect meta-dessert after a meal of hamburger-flavored ribs.

F2F fund update:

We've got a little over $1100 in the fund right now. That covers the 4 hour room rental for Prom. (Yay, Prom!) Right now, the room is scheduled for 8:30pm to 12:30pm. If we want to stay in the room longer, the rate is charged every half hour after ($137.50 per half hour).

We still need to cover the hospitality suite, somewhere between $275 and $300 (I'm not sure how taxes are going to beef up the actual cost, the room is $129 per night.) Also, if we want to stock the room with munchies and a limited selection of booze and soda, etc., we could use more of the extremely generous donations I've been receiving.

Donations may be made through Paypal to: dinky40 at charter dot net. If you want to mail a check, send me an e-mail and I'll reply with my snail mail address.

Some of you know I run a few sites with pretty pictures of pretty people, but it's been left untended a bit recently. No more. There's no big recode or redesign, just a rededication:

To getting the content flowing freely to provocateuse.com once again. Stop by and enlarge your collection of pretties--stop by and do the same for mine.

The blonde heroine of the campy television series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," as well as other works by director and writer Josh Whedon, will be the focus of a three-day academic conference held at Henderson State University beginning Friday.

Among the papers: "Buffy and Feminism," "Buffy and Identity," "Gender Stereotypes and the Image of Domesticity in 'Firefly,'" "'Firefly:' The Illusive Safety of Big Damn Heroes" and a Durand favorite by a British scholar, "Hero's Journey, Heroine's Return: Buffy, Eurydice and the Orpheus Myth."

If you are attending the F2F, I am collecting the arrival/departure/contact info/credit card numbers/blood type for the attendees. Please email your info to aimeeconat at yahoo dot com.

Don't forget to include your social security number and mother's maiden name! We need it for, um, planning purposes. Or maybe seating arrangements? I forget, but it's really really important.

Attention F2F attendees:

I've set up a survey to see what kind of food folks want for Prom. Click Here to take survey. I'll leave it up until noon my time on Friday, the 13th, so I can give it to the Great Dane within their 7 day notification period.
