Greetings and Salutations.
Some titillating news for all you fangbangers in the land down under, the True Blood Convention is coming to our wide brown land! I spotted the news via the Vampire News blog, a good source for all things fanged.
The article by Gabrielle Faust details that the convention will be coming to both Sydney and Melbourne, on the 25th ad 26th of September respectively. Tickets range from $100 dollars for a day pass and $950 for a Platinum pass which gets you a breakfast and evening with the guests (so you may be able to rub up against Alexander Skarsgard for real not on your pillow), seats in the first two rows for panels etc, priority queuing for photo’ and autographs and a professional photo with the guests. Visit here for ticketing and more details.
With that fangtastic news I’m sure you are all reaching for your fans and smelling salts, so now to bring you back down to earth so you can achieve something with your day.
Speaking of rubbing on pillows; for those who have not seen it already here is the perfect present to get any pre-pubescent Twilight fan: a life sized Edward Cullen pillow… Now if they made Eric pillows that would be Ok wouldn’t it?

Whats on for 2010? Scream Queens Season 2 thats what!

Greetings and Salutations.
I’m back! I hope all of you enjoyed the festive season and received many severed body parts wrapped with fancy bows.
One of my highlights from 2009 was the VH1 reality TV series Scream Queens. This hilarious horror hoedown (and there were a number of ‘hoe’s’ trying to get down on the producers I’m sure) put 10 unknown ‘beauties’ through there horror paces to establish who would come out on top of the mound of zombies as the ultimate Scream Queen. The winner received a key role in the Saw film franchises next yawn Saw 6.
The show was hosted by Shawnee Smith (Saw, The Grudge 3, Repo the Genetic Opera), Queen of the Screams (apparently), who had the personality of a dead fish, the enthusiasm of an hepatic liver and the monotone expression of someone who was bordering on catatonia.
Thankfully Shock Til You Drop has revealed Shawnee has been replaced for Season 2 of Scream Queens, can I get a hell yeah! Her replacement is Jaime King (My Bloody Valentine, The Spirit, The Tripper), who will hopefully inject some life into the hosting role. The show has also replaced its feature director James Gunn (Slither, Dawn of the Dead), with Tim Sullivan (2001 Maniacs, Driftwood). However the acting coach all the scream bitches would love to hate John Homa, who gave me many squeals of delight, is coming back for Season 2. For a sneak peek visit to the set by Shock Til You Drop click here.
Lets hope Season 2 brings us more horrific howls of hilarity as Season One did. I will never forget the task given to the hopefuls where they had to play a mummified head in a jar. One bug eyed starlet wanna-be for some reason interpreted that a severed head would ultimately make you special needs and proceeded to play her character significantly brain damaged, much to the delight of her competitors and the chagrin of Madame Shawnee. Didn’t anyone tell her the rules? You never, ever go full retard!

Greetings and Salutations.
If anyone was wondering what to get yours truly for Christmas… in 2010 then here is the ultimate gift for any True Blood fan. Whilst flicking through my RSS feeds the wonderful crew at Vampire News lead me to this delightful item…
That’s right ladies the folks over at DC Direct are creating a line of True Blood busts for you to sit in your room say on your dresser, bedside table or on the pillow next to you, or is that just me? The series will come out in July 2010, so start saving your pennies as they are a reasonable $69.99 (USD).
Now if only some enterprising ‘Adult Company’ would create a blow up version my life would be complete…
