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.

Dallas Dining

The living and the undead are in agreement that this has been one long, cold, dreary winter. I've lived in warmer climates for most of my vampire life and I enjoy green grass and blue skies and ocean. 

I thought going south we'd see warmer weather. It's been a while since I've seen my relations in Dallas, so I took a little trip there and what should happen? It got all grey and it freaking snowed!!!!  

It makes a vampire just want to crawl into a coffin and sleep for another month.

Well, we made the best of it by shopping a bit and scouting out a lovely meal. Bolsa in the Bishop Arts district is a great place for doing just that. Incredible bloody marys are to found there, plus, a trendy unsuspecting crowd. The bloody marys are made with a jalapeno  infused vodka done on the premises.

A few blocks south of there is a tiny candy shop called Dude, Sweet!  I talked the owner into making me specially filled dark chocolates. Can't wait until they arrive in the mail, but I 'm making do with the marzipan stuffed dates and the mushroom toffee.

Marscon Adventure

The bikini contests have been good to me lately but the most exciting news this week came from Minnesota.

A very good friend of mine attended Marscon 2010 which is held each year in Minneapolis. Loretta McKibben, the science guest of honor and longtime feminist, was a guest speaker and she helped to promote our movie, Bikini Vampire Babes. She reports that the BVB trailer was a big hit at Marscon and that everyone enjoyed it and was quite excited about it.  She also said that she never thought she'd be hawking a movie about vampire women in bikinis, but she enjoyed every minute of it.

Thank you Loretta! All of us that are involved with the movie really appreciate your help.

I am aware that Bikinivampirebabes.com is still under construction, but there are people working on it, so check back periodically to see what has been added.

In the meanwhile, look for news of us at some of the upcoming science fiction and fantasy cons that are in the Oklahoma area.

Ciao

Many people have been asking how the movie is going, so I decided I should drop in on editing to see what was happening. I found Stewart, Stan's twin brother doing the editing.

The conversation went something like this

Me:  Hi there. People are always asking when the movie will be out.

Stu:  Hopefully, this fall. Do you want to see some of the scenes?

Me:  Sure, sweetie. I'd love to!

     So, we look at a few scenes.

Stu:  So, hey-- aren't they fun!

Me:  Ummm, is this all you have done???

Stu:  Yeah, you know, I'm only one guy and I have real paying jobs to take care of.

Me:  (I'm thinking, what a whiner, but instead I say)  Is there anything I can do to help?

Stu: Wow, sure. This place is a dump, could you maybe sweep? And oh yeah, if you have time, run the dishes and clean the bathroom. First of all, I could really use a drink out of the frig. And make sure you don't touch the computers!

Me:  Humph. That's not really what I had in mind. (At this point, I'm debating on whether I should juice this guy, but I really need him to edit and I don't typically add men to my clan)

Stu:  You kind of have a funny look on you face.

         You don't have to leave mad.

Me:  I just remembered I have an appointment to get my nails done. Ciao.

        Oh, and hire a housekeeper.

Stu:  Wait, wait, I have this delivery you can make on your way...

Happy Valentines

When I was human, my heart was broken by a dashing young man. He didn't even take notice of me. How heartless!
I always think of him briefly on Valentine's day. He never would have guessed that I would grow up to be such a heart stopper.

But enough of that. Valentine's day is such a fun day to celebrate. All those lovely candy hearts and red, red hearts on cards and ads. Hearts are everywhere!

What's your favorite? Chocolate or the little sugar candy ones? And how about the ones boxed up and dressed to surprise? It's making me a little hungry to tell you the truth. I'm going out to prowl and to see what I can find in the way of a valentine sweet.

Stuck in Oklahoma

Members of my clan live in various place across the world. I call them my blood relatives and it's a great way to travel and have a cozy place to stay.  Of course, I no longer have relatives in Puerto Rico because of a couple of  "vampire hunters"  but that's another story.

This past weekend was a real wash. My relatives were planning a fun Sedona weekend. I couldn't wait to check out the vortex action. Maybe even go up to Flagstaff for some skiing. But on the drive out, I got stuck in an ice and snow storm in Oklahoma.  And It was so cold, it nearly froze my undead blood!

My little car wasn't made for that kind of weather. And no, I wasn't about to change into a bat and fly through sleet. No frost bitten wings for me.

There wasn't much to do but scan the menu while hanging out in the hotel bar. Of course, I chatted with some cute guys, and there were lots of tasty options. So much so that I decided the buffet was the way to go. When they woke up in the morning they probably thought that giant bed bugs had bitten them.
