Stake Through the Heart : Milosevic Will Not Retun

In the news: Associated Press (AP) reports that a Serbian man has run a wooden stake through the grave of Serbian former President and War Criminal Slobodan Milosevic, in an attempt to run a stake through his heart. As you see, vampire beliefs still run strong in Serbia. The Socialist party is screaming for revenge. My feeling on this is A) no harm done and B) better safe than sorry....
 

Vampire in a Potato Sack

Talked to the costumer today.  2 layers of chiffon — picture cutting a whole in a black sheet, and you got it.  Fucking lazy costumers.

NO SELF-RESPECTING VAMPIRE QUEEN WOULD WEAR THAT!!!

Which brings me to the subject of Crazy Costumers.  We were lucky on "Proof" — usually it's a race of psychotic gnomes bent on destroying everything in their path.  I finally costumed myself for McB, the costumer was... well... Here's a little dittie I composed to her at the time:

          Costumer chick, you are on crack;
          Pro you are none, you're barely a hack!
          I, too, would have to be on smack
          To put that outfit on my back.

This was when she suggested Lady Macbeth wear a $2 red polyester mini-dress that barely covered "the waterline"....  Miami prostitutes wouldn't have been caught dead in that.  Her idea of what the director meant when he said he thought the Queen of Scotland should be sexy.   Ouch.

So anyway.  Sucks.  I wanted to be a powerful, sexy vampire, not a hag in a black mumu.  Dammit. (>.<)

Vampire Queens

Some of you may remember I was supposed to play Vampire Queen in a promo film, and then it kept being pushed off, and I ended up doing 'Macbeth' and 'Proof' and putting the whole thing out of my mind.

Well, today the director of the film called me with a shoot date.  Apparently, his production chick was supposed to get in touch with me but hadn't, and he was miffed, afraid he had lost me.  I assured him I was still raring to go on the project.  I have costume fittings set for next week and shooting begins on June 27.   Whee!  Keep your fingers crossed that the designer has come up with something über sexy and slinky and dangerous.  I'm hoping for something black and dark green, glittery, corsetted, with a bit of a train... like if Jessica Rabbit were a vampire.  I tell you, sometimes I wonder if I'm not in this business just for the playing dress-up aspect of it all.  Mwahahah.

Wondering how much the script has changed in the meantime.  Last revision I got, I was the Naga Queen (a serpent people), and it had been my idea thousands of years ago to interbreed with humans, thus creating the race of the vampires.  I wish I were allowed to post a part of it here, you'd see what it's like.  Alas, copyright restrictions and privacy stuff, etc.  But I'm supposed to slither into the throne room with eyes that can kill mortal men with a glance.  Tee hee!  And silly Corr's comment was, "Sounds about right."  Elf-boys, what can I say.

Well, off to work on good ol' Luminarium again.  Will BTYL :P

Vampire-smooches,
A
