Spike's Bitches 41: Thrown together to stand against the forces of darkness
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
(For those playing along at home, the audition notice in question is for Pride and Succubus, which apparently "combines the longing and whimsy of Jane Austen romance with the blood thirst of vampires." I ask you, is that not made for JZ??)
wails and gnashes teeth
That sounds like a lot of fun.
It does indeed sound perfect for JZ!

Hey there, lovely! Have you read Evernight yet? (Claudia Gray) I'm thinking I need to see if it's available at my bookshop today, and hoping that it will be a lovely contrast with Twilight.
Flops into the thread
Hello bitches, whats up?
Killing time on the interwebs before Top Chef. Contemplating starting another blog.
Hey there, lovely! Have you read Evernight yet? (Claudia Gray)
Nope, I haven't. Let me know how it is, once you've read it.
I've decided to treat Twilight (and its sequels) as comedies. That's the only way I can justify keeping them around as the junk-food reads they are. ( Spineless Mary Sue who smells like freesia! Werewolves! Hott vampire boy who loves her so much that he watches her while she sleeps - before they start dating! Oh, and did we mention that he can't go out in the sun because he spaaaaaaarkles?! )
The more I think about the Twilight series, the more I'm convinced that there's something about them that just unhooks your brain while you read them. Because at the time, I just kinda bopped along going lalalalala well these are kind of schlocky and dippy, but I'll keep reading lalalalala; in retrospect, I keep boggling. Spaaaaaaaaarkly vampires!
Jilli, I ended up buying Twilight because of what you posted about it. It really is a fun comedy, even if it isn't meant to be. So far I love the names Bella, for both Bela Lugosi and for the beauty and the Beast reference and as soon as I read the name Edward, I thought Rochester, from Jane Eyre.
Oh, and Tep, if you're around, I heard your theme song today.
Okay, so it's actually the title song of a kids' show on PBS, but when I heard it on one of my parenting podcasts today, I thought of you.
Huh. Boggling seems very much the proper reaction to that... type, I guess, of vampire.
Hi Suzi! Long time no see.
Speaking of corsets, I just tried mine on and it looks like I'll be giving it away. It's the one that I wore to the SF2F, for those that might recall. I simply don't have the chest for it anymore. Bummer. But that means I'll get to buy a new one. Yay!

sj, I hope you purchased it used. IJS.
