My Pillow Passion

While bvb suntan lotion with spf 1000 allows us to get around outside during the day, it doesn't mean we don't sleep. I like my beauty rest just like the next gal. 


Books and movies make it seem like vampires can sleep in various unappealing places . Bare, hard coffins are bad enough, but in Dead Until Dark, the author has vampires just diving into the dirt! Do you know what that does to a manicure?

Recently, I came across a site named Sleeplikethedead.com. With a name like that I had to check it out and it turned out to be a site that rates beds, pillows, even dog beds!  I had no idea there were so many types of pillows. I've been so restless lately, I need one that will let me sleep like the dead.

Travel and Movie Update

Minion suggested we take a road trip to visit some blood relations up north. It seemed like a good idea since the summer has been so hot here in the southern U.S. Plus we just get the itch to travel and check out new places for fresh blood.

We made our way up through Illinois where our "relatives" took us out for late night snacking in Chicago. There were lots of tasty ethnic areas of town, good music and lots of fun.

Then we drove as far as Milwaukee before coming home. That Wisconsin cheese was pretty tasty blood clogging stuff.

I was enjoying prowling new places but work on the movie called us back. Stu is now ready for the ADR and the music track is starting to shape up.

By the way, Bree looks absolutely delicious in the movie, but Tom, her manager is another matter. I'm sure you'll agree that  Resa and Jane are pretty tasty looking snacks too. The picture above is of Jane, Resa, Dick and moi.

I get the feeling the movie could be done in a couple of months if all goes well. Maybe I can plan the opening. Hope you can attend as I'm dying to see all of you there. 

Latest Movie News

It  was time to check in on the movie's progress and I found Stu at the studio working hard on editing.

All that green screened stuff has slowed him way down. His comment of   "I'll fix it in the mix" is taking a whole lot more stirring than anticipated. But, it is slowly getting done and the rough cut is almost viewable.

Now, for some music! Talk is that a local band is helping us out and making some original sounds for us. I can't wait! I hope it's sexy.

Maybe I should go find some editing help for Stu. Someone that can work on the movie at nights like a little elf. I'm feeling a touch hungry anyway.

Sleeping Vampire Beauty

Yaaaawn
Stretch
Pop!

I guess I've been out of touch for a bit, huh? Sometimes I just need a good long rest.

Someone once asked if we still sleep in coffins. Hah! What a dead giveaway. That's like asking to get it in the chest isn't it?

Modern innovations have made it possible for modern vampires to get around a lot better than they used to. And talk about modern vampires....there's one under every rock or at least on every other channel on tv.

Have you watched "Ugly Americans"  on the comedy channel?  I can't tell you why I'm so amused by it, but I am. Not only are there demons, zombies and vampires, but all kinds of talking body parts and talking animals and blobs which come out of the caustic, contaminated ponds. 

The demons are my favorite.

Cinco de Mayo Fun

Is Cinco de Mayo celebrated in Mexico? Looks like it began in the 1860's in California and while it does celebrate the Hispanic culture, it's not really a big holiday south of the border.

Oh, well, it's a great time to just get out and enjoy the food and festivities and I like a good party. The always unsuspecting crowd is great for snacking too!

All that lime and salt...it might just sting a little when I nibble on your neck. Of course, if my victim is partying hardy, they won't notice so much. Say, did you see the size of the mosquitos down by the canal?

Various Bits of News

Hey! Go check out the page for the  british movie, "Lesbian Vampire Killers". I love how it is set up like a comic book which flips open and when you scroll over the characters, there's a fun sound bite.


The movie finally popped up in local rentals as "Vampire Killers". What's the matter? Are the distributers in the US afraid of the word lesbians? I watched the movie. The girls were cute and it was good for a couple of laughs, but why do they always want to kill the vampires?

I've also added "The Vampires of Bloody Island" to my list. It's soon to be released in the US but it looks like the vampires explode in that movie! Huh, not sure what to think of that.

Stu called me into the studio this past week to have me check out the progress of our movie. It's actually coming along quite nicely now. I watched the oil wrestling scene with Bree. She was defeating all her opponents until she had some kind of flashback. Personally, I think it had to do with some energy drain prompted by 17 herbs and spices . That can really zap a newbie vampire in no time. You will just have to decide for yourself when you see it.

Conestoga, the science fiction and fantasy convention held in Tulsa, Oklahoma is happening this weekend, April 23-25. Look for our trailer and our postcards featuring me and Bree if you happen to attend.  

Until next time, 

Ciao

That Ugly Jewelry

This past week, spring finally arrived!  It also brought some relations from the Chicago area who showed up at my place. I hadn't seen them in a hundred years! Well, OK, it was only last century, but it seems like a long time so it was great to see them.

One evening we were eating blood orange sorbet and discussing edible options. There's definitely an excess when it comes to beer, beef and butter in the south. Good thing we are already made as we could become blimps eating like that! You just can't believe how much diet really affects  the blood. And then there's the taste. Ugh!

All of that reminds me of Tom, Bree's manager (or whatever he is). He emailed me! Who gave him my address???  Of all the nerve....  And what does he say, but the same old thing. "I'm going to get you, Lizette!"

Yeah, whatever!

Here's an image of him with that ugly jewelry.
