dancers and fandom

[burntcopper]

Things to do when walking to the station : laugh at the city types who couldn't be bothered to wear different shoes for the walk. Amazingly, expensive lace-ups aren't very good on packed snow. SKID, MONKEYBOY, SKID. In shoe news, yesterday I finally remembered about my bloody great work boots (which i mostly use for operation: christmas tree), which means I don't have to borrow mum's one-size-too-small wellies anymore. Figured out this morning that they're not incredibly scuffed, it's mostly mud.

Due to having Legally Blonde ST on repeat, am experiencing ridiculous perkiness. And bugging a bit on finding out that Chris Ellis-Stanton is playing Kyle the UPS guy (also Dewey the ex and the lead Frat boy). (cynicalcylon, we're talking Legs McBlondie from Anything Goes at Wimbledon, and miniosiris, he was Steve Lomas in The Stripper - any good?) Where the fuck did those muscles come from? Feeling a bit peeved that he wasn't dancing and singing as much as he could be (sadly not a big name yet, so i guess i should be content and just wait for him to get lead west end), but definitely feeling a bit vindicated that everyone else is now objectifying him as much as I do. :cough: Oh well, he's now officially added to Heather's list of dancers she's fixated on : Brick Shithouse, Matthew Cutler from SCD and Chris Ellis-Stanton.

HMM. Legally Blonde is on the GILT cheap tickets list. Volunteers?

Question for those've you who've been watching normally rather'n mainlining three seasons in two weeks. From about mid-way through S4, you can see definite seeds of Dean/Castiel, which ramp up to 'Will you two please get a room!' later in the season (yes, prophet episode of hysterical, I'm looking at you). I know that people were slashing Dean/Castiel during S4, but can anyone who was in the fandom then tell me when fandom started slashing them in a major way? Was it from the very beginning in the traditional 'they are pretty. we are slashers. They don't need to share the same air space for us to slash them.' way, or a bit later?

Being Human : slightly painful where they were trying to force the humour in one bit (it's fairly obvious), being a bit heavy-handed with one aspect of the villain motivation, one bit they aim to tear your heart and succeed, and the slash is happily present. We're voting that the OT3 becomes an OT4. Also, continuity of background extras for the win!

Dammit. once again, Spotify disillusions me by showing me that a composer/singer may have a couple of v. awesome songs but the rest of their output is incredibly MOR.

So when we met in town and I told you about getting wellies ready to wear to work, and you told me I was becoming female, you meant "sensible".

this is the only time your species is technically wearing impractical shoes.

(most of the people at my work are just wearing hiking boots all day)

Amazingly, expensive lace-ups aren't very good on packed snow.

I, personally, love watching the women with their knee-high, waterproof boots that would be perfectly practical if not for the four inch spike heel. They sink in snow, slide on ice, and provide viewing entertainment for the whole family.


re: Dean/Castiel, I think my slasher's instincts sat up and took notice at the end of the second ep when they were in Bobby's kitchen and Cas threatened to send Dean back to hell. Misha and Jensen have some serious chemistry and that scene practically sparked with it.

I didn't actually start slashing them/reading about them until later in the season, though. I don't know, I think I might have been waiting for confirmation that Misha was staying on until I got serious. I just knew that the moment I started to get overly attached he would be killed in some horrible fashion, thank you Kripke.

I think the end of the Halloween ep when they were on the park benches watching the kids play was the first 'aww' moment, and, like you say, the latter part of the season was pretty much constant UST.

oh my god. just watched 5x03, aka Cas tries to lose his virginity. The writers kept leaving pauses whenever Dean would mention it. Giant. Fucking. Pauses. The bastards.

So Legally Blonde is worth it? We're looking at doing London trip (to actual London) for my long weekend in Feb (dates... 12th?ish) and are looking at shows.

I think it was reading Dean/Cas slash that got me into actually, you know, watching Supernatural for the first time. And I mainlined in three weekd so it's useless for me answering your question. Although if you come across anything you'd recommend reading...

Just so you remember, I love Misha Collins.

did you see my post on it? IT IS GLORIOUS. AND FAB. AND WONDROUS. Plus, er, no-one in the theatre could stop grinning throughout. There's a couple of times we were laughing so hard we couldn't breathe. (soundtrack is on spotify)

also, go to http://www.getintolondontheatre.co.uk - they're doing cheap tickets.

[akadougal.livejournal.com]

Ooooh. No tickets for Feb but ooooh. Is it only in previews or something? Nice tickets.

Yes, I read your review. Sounds fun. Dave fancies Hairspray (yuck) but am trying to talk him out of it.

Now that is a very interesting site! Pity they don’t accept these damn Theatre Tokens I’ve got, but you can’t have everything… I’ve been trying to decide between Wicked and Priscilla for ages. Now I might be able to do both.

[burntcopper.livejournal.com]

Theatre tokens last forever. they can wait. also, Priscilla? check any stalls tickets against theatremonkey.com to see if they're under the overhang. if they're under the overhang, take dress circle - the divas and the bit where Felicia is sitting on the giant shoe take place quite high up, and the screens aren't good enough to see what's going on.

Far too many females wearing high heels round here, on pavements that're like glass! I cringe everytime I see 'em. Usually just before the silly people fall down...
