Bored...

[elisi]

Look what I got kathyh to make for me! (Original idea by drho.) Isn't it brilliant? Anyone? Bueller? *looks around flist* Anyone besides me who loves 'Invader Zim' (and Dr who)? Ah well... *pets icon*



Oh, before I forget: Happy Birthday priscellie! Hope you're having a brilliant day! *lots of hugs*

Am feeling blah and bored and impatient, waiting for my copy of 'Angel: After the Fall' issue 1 to arrive, and seeing the alternative cover for s8 issue 11, I decided not to rant, and instead post two (mock) icon ideas...

Idea 1.
Image of Maggie Walsh
Text: "You might want to be suited up for this."
Image of Buffy (surrounded by Initiative soldiers).
Text: "Oh. You mean the cammo and stuff? I thought about it but, I mean, it's gonna look all 'Private Benjamin.' Don't worry, I've patrolled in this halter many times."
Image of Buffy from the alt. cover of #11
Text: [honestly I'm not sure... maybe just 'WTF?' Or 'This is canon how?' or 'Maggie finally approves'? I'm sure someone could think of something smart.]

Idea 2
Text: Buffy always knew the importance of wearing the proper clothing for Slaying! [or similar]
Images of Buffy from 'Prophecy Girl', 'Becoming II', 'Graduation Day 2', 'Primeval', 'The Gift', 'Two to Go' and 'Chosen', with the number of the season displayed.
Text: Hurrah! Joss is writing S8!
Image of Buffy from the alt. cover.
Text: Oh dear, where did Buffy go? [Or: 'Who's that girl?' or...]

And that's it - these are just loose ideas, if anyone wants to make them, please change/adapt/mess around with them as much as you like. Text esp really isn't my strong suit... Oh and I have screencaps of all the images mentioned here. (Did I mention about the bored part?)

ETA: The picture *itself* is beautifully drawn btw. Not ragging on Jeanty's talent.


See what beer_good_foamy made?

Finally C (my lovely RL fellow Dr Who fan) lent me this John Barrowman article, that I've scanned for y'all to enjoy! It's a bit small, sorry, but I don't have time to mess around trying to make it bigger... maybe you could d/l it and then zoom in?



Must run!

ETA: Last night's Might Boosh was brilliant! (Noel Fielding has the Best Hair Ever. Fact!) Oh and does anyone else look at the 'Shreddies are knitted by nanas' ads and think of 'Nanageddon'? Also watched 'Rm v/a vu' and Cordy turning up on Angel's doorstep is one of the best scenes ever. (And he's so gorgeous, all wet and towel clad... Mmmmm.)

Oh those icons sound great! The hi-tech outfits are so not Buffy! Where is the style!

John Barrowman! Wheeeee

I've got a feeling these are not the icons you're looking for. :-)

Sort of like this?

I'm looking forward to telling everyone at work that I'm the Sheriff of Stationery village.

I managed to read the Barrowman article at the size it was posted. I think I'm going blind now. ;-)

I think if you uploaded it to Photobucket or something, and then went from there, it would post at a size that was small on the page, but was clickable to a larger size.

Yay, thanks! Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Buffy always knew the importance of wearing the proper clothing for Slaying!.

Buffy was also never afraid to push that fashion envelope sometimes with disastrous results but I wouldn’t count her S8 appearances in the same category as the pink leather trousers or the mom’s curtains minidress let alone the whole Jackie O phase she went through in S3. She’s more Lara Croft than Private Benjamin but without the gratuitous skin exposure and improbable breasts.

Over the years she’s generally gone for less girly styles and has always been able to carry off androgony perfectly well (I though she looked great in her Helpless dungarees). Also until the later parts of S7 she generally fought one foe at a time and only once commanded an army. Girly was probably an ideologically sound choice going up against the entity that created Caleb but the lack of protection not only allowed a near fatal back stabbing but got Amanda and others killed. My Buffy would take that pretty seriously, her fashion choices aren’t just all about her any more.
