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.

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.
