Totally To The Max

Observations from a mall: Blue eyeshadow, when used deliberately in an 80's punk-- yet worn with diamonds and thus a street punk from a rich family-- look is not white trash. It matches an outfit. An ensemble, if you will. Blue eyeshadow in one shade worn from lid to brow is white trash. Like Crucial. TTTM. Also, very disconcerting to suddenly see Ioan Gruffold frowning at me from a paper crown on a child's head.

Bought pretties for Pooky's B-day!!! Discovered mucho fabuloso fakey bling store. Must have a Dripping with (fake) Diamonds party.

New BSG *no spoilers just a squee*. I will lick the sweat and blood from him in my dreams for all enternity. Article about it last week's Entertainment Weekly. "best show on tv". "studly costar Jamie Bamber". Pictures galore! *slashes Billy and Apollo for the tasty and nutritious hell of it*

Vogue tells me no amount of exercise will ever get rid of the flappity flappity under my arms. It's genetic. It's surgery or death. Hmmm.

In slightly deeper news, misskittie79 has some interesting thoughts on slash and gender equality.

I am hot. Bring on the porn.

(no subject)

Allow me to rant once again on Wheel of Time author Robert Jordan, dumbfuck extraordinaire. Who forbids all fanfiction, but especially slash (which he still calls K/S. Which either shows his age or that he used to read it). He compares fanfic to someone stealing his ATM and piracy.... To which one must (is compelled, bloody fucking must) point out that a)in Japan they consider fanfic and fanart free advertising and seem to get along just fine side by side b) no one makes him read it and c) he FRAKKIN' STEALS FROM EVERY OTHER FANTASY AUTHOR EVER!!!! The world's biggest thief denounces others for it. Apparently, when Robert Jordan does it, it's clever (and profitable for him judging from the way the last books have dragged on needlessly) and therefore ok. Someone dares to take something he's done and spin their own universe from it, it's *gasp* piracy!

Well I'm a pirate. A pissed off pirate who might mention to Asslick Jordan that a woman can think and still be sexual. They need not be separate. I might also mention that when George Lucas made Star Wars, and studied archetypes, and Wagner's Ring Cycle, and Kurosawa films and a thousand other sources, and used them to create his gloriously cheesy vision, he admitted it. But noooo, Jordan's 'vision' is his and his alone, and if it isn't, well then he's a damn pirate too. A fat sexist one. (...is childish, so?)

He writes the most brain dead stereotypical women outside of het anime (think Meryl from Trigun) and then gets irritated when people then want to pair the men...the only ones with brains. He admits to the presence of lesbians (vaguely) in his books, so one can only assume the talentless hack finds chick on chick hot and thus acceptable. God forbid the men get with equals.

I give him credit for two things. Creating Matrim Cauthon (archetype though he is, and not really created from any one person) and creating Moiraine (ditto). Other than that, he can burn in hell, or be trapped in a small room with several hundred women who beat the shit out him.

**rant over for now**
