Lamasu: Weren't you reading THE LIES OF LOCK LAMORA a couiple of days ago?
Sivan: Yes! I stopped at a particular thrilling part.
Lamasu: Why did you stop then?
Sivan: I discovered your shelf of BL novels.
Lamasu:Hahah! The awesome power of Gay Porn! ^^;;.
Sivan: indeed - Porn has a lot more... more...
Lamasu:?
Sivan: *flails* SEX APPEAL! :D:D:D
Lamasu: ¬_¬.

And she was like that from the age of 12 - I know because I shared a room with the woman in boarding school ... she made me recite all the porn she was reading... MADE ME!!!

Ahem... yeah... ah ... oooh look a... a... THING!... RIGHT THERE BEHIND YOU!!! *hides under sofa*

;_;.

Stormy like WOAH! Carnival tomorrow and apparently it is just going to get worse. It passes just outside our window so I predict we will be upstairs with the Takarazuka, BJDs, Absinthe AND LOTS OF GAY PORN :D:D:D

Woo Hoo!

http://www.k-seven.co.jp/blog_maikaze/

That is Maikaze Rira... MAA-CHAN!!!

IN GLASTONBURY!!!

@_@

SCORE!

I have stealth Takarasienne visiting my town XD.

(you have to scroll down to 12th of October... there are also pictures from the 6ths ... HAHAH! She clearly liked the Glastonbury Tor ^^).

I actually wanted to see something else apart from Lucifer with her... THIS IS A SIGN!

*buys Silver wolf/ Wonderland*

AWESOME :D:D:D

And after I was told I will have to wait for ages - He arrived in the nick of time. I didn't even have time to prepare his Rabbi attire so he is borrowing some of Solomon Clothes...




( DOLL! )

Welcome home Abraham Rottenstein... I'll make a Rabbi out of you soon ^_^.

With a map in hand, a boy on shoulders, giving a lecture about the fall of Communism to another boy...

YUP!

It sums him out pretty neatly ^_^

And as infuriating as the Vulcan Mathematician is - this also captures the essence of why I love him so much :D:D:D.

Back at home guys. It was a gorgeous trip in three amazing cities I promise I will visit again. and now Sivan is here for three weeks *dances* ^_^.

Tons of mail and comments to answer - will do it in due time ...

Now to watch Takarazuka because I didn't for a full week and I am suffering from serious withdrawal symptoms XD.

Just as gorgeous as the last time ^_^

THIS TIME THOUGH....

I found the Golem :D:D:D




Which sadly shrank in the wash ... you'd think laundrettes in this city would know not to wash golems with whites... feh ¬_¬.

And then the chibi Golem and I went to say hi to Rabbi Loew :D:D:D




And then the children went to have a little climb on Kafka... who was weird... because he is Kafka and he CAN!



And now we are in Berlin where the only thing we really achieved this evening was getting lost and finding ourselves at the rather abandoned holocaust memorial... which is a rather bleak and eerie place especially after dark @_@.

But now we have sausages and beer in REALLY BIG JUGS because when you are a tourist you have to cover all stereotypes and cliches.

Tomorrow I storm the Pergamon and molest the Ishtar gates - woo hoo! but now... BED! *snores* ^_^.

One of the greatest tourist regrets of my life is that when I was in Bavaria ten years ago - I felt too self concious to buy one of those tacky souvenir cups with Ludwig II.

So today as I was wondering fan-girlishly around every Hapsburg related site I could cram into one day I did NOT repeat that mistake!




KITSCH!

It makes Golden-Veg soup taste better! :D:D:D

And the London eye might be bigger than Prater's Ferris wheel... however:

"Don't be melodramatic. Look down there. Tell me. Would you really feel any pity if one of those dots stopped moving forever? If I offered you twenty thousand pounds for every dot that stopped, would you really, old man, tell me to keep my money, or would you calculate how many dots you could afford to spare?"

When you can quote something as fucking awesome as that standing in one of its carts... then and ONLY THEN can you say it is equally cool!!!

Lamasu... Hapsburged out XD.

Does anyone know how long it takes a parcel from LUTS to arrive in the UK.

They shipped the doll today which is much faster than I expected and I believe it means it will arrive when I am away. I don't know WHO they use to ship things but I am hoping it is Royal Mail because they keep hold of a parcel for two weeks as opposed to other delivery companies who hold on for one week only.

In an ironic way - I was hoping it would take them longer to ship my order. As it is - I need to know how stressed I need to be whilst on a trip to mainland Europe.

*sobs*

;_;

Do you remember how I told you that I have now got all the Rose of Versailles out of my system?

Well... I hope you also remember I told you I was LYING!!!

BECAUSE I WAS.

I decided to scan that little Naked Andre scene from the manga because they didn't put it in the anime... reasons being, I am guessing, that it would reduce the levels of angst, drama, angst, melodrama, angst, dramalama and ANGST!!! (Yes - this is why I love the series! My name is Lamasu and I am an ANGST WHORE!).

Here it is in all its glorious glory:



So I know... I know ... Andre is only semi-naked - but the look on Oscar's face is priceless :D:D:D

Also - he seems to be wearing Calvin Klein undies... but if you think THAT is anachronistic...

CHECK OUT THE ROCOCO FLARES!



Oh 1970s manga - why? WHY WERE YOU SO AWESOME!!! ^_^.

I still keep a grudge for the lack of Rococo flares in recent Takarazuka productions of BeruBara... true - they had them in the 1970s versions and it is now a new century and all that ... still!

IT IS NOT AN EXCUSE!

This is for my own record for posterity ... a comment by comment study of sudden re-infatuation for my own personal study XD.

12.10.09 - 14:24

"is watching 6 hours of vintage Rose of Versailles Encyclopaedia... Takarazuka has changed a lot since the 1970s... wigs no longer look like someone stuck a peroxide badger over Lady Oscar head then shot it dead... also - musumeyaku no longer squeak......... like said peroxide badger... but the fruitcake effect stayed till this day XD."

12.10.09 - 16:16

"Takarazuka Rose of Versailles seem to be like all the Korean Soap operas + all Arabic films in existence all squished into 3 hours of Japanese with fruitcake sparkly frills! AND I AM ENJOYING IT!!! @_@"

12.10.09 - 21:44

"wonders what went on in the heads of the people who made Takarazuka RoV. "All those roses and plastic horses around those ladies some of which dress as men, some of which dress as fruitcakes - all of whome grope each other... STILL not gay enoug...h ... what shall we do... what shall we... I know! PUT MORE GREEN EYE SHADOW ON ANDRE!!!" Perfect ^^;;."

13.10.09 - 20:59

"Finished snorting all of my Zuka BeruBara. I have strawbery shortcakes coming out of my nose and sparkly roses coming out of my arse! I SEE EVERYTHING THROUGH A RAINBOW OF SUGARY COLOURS!!! By all means I should have enough but for some reason ... I WANT MORE!!!"

14.10.09 - 13:34

" finds it strange... upon re-watching Rose of Versailles Anime... to find Andre is not wearing any green eye makeup *shocked!*"

14.10.09 - 18:38

"Andre: "OH OSCAR! One day I will give my life for you! But not before I try to rape you... a couple of times... and then poison you... almost... but then... THEN! (after shagging you of course!) I WILL TOTALLY DIE FOR YOU!!!" Rose of V...ersailles = Totally fucked up AWESOMENESS with sparkly roses! YAY! ♥ ♥ ♥ "

14.10.09 - 21:26

"thinks that 12 episodes of RoV for one day is enough... SO SHE IS READING THE MANGA NOW!!! :D:D:D Skip reading to favourite parts... Especially the part in vol. 7 when Oscar walks in on naked wet Andre! How on earth did I forget they are so wonderful??? Oh wait... I never did! ♥ ♥ ♥ "

14.10.09 - 21:27

"Oscar: "OMIGOD YOU HAVE ABS!!! You didn't use to have those when you were a stable boy... did you? *nosebleed* I ... I will just go and play with your sword... MY! MY SWORD! I wasn't referring to your penis... AAH! *runs*" And this is why Lamasu shouldn't be allowed to read your favourite manga XD."

15.10.09 - 11:00

"My only problem with RoV is that it is so bloody sympathetic to Marie Antoinette... OH COME ON!!! The woman was an idiot a fool and a moron to boot! She was such an air-head I am surprised her head didn't float into the sky after they guillotined the bitch! ¬_¬."

15.10.09 - 20:05

" Raphael just jumped into this room butt-naked screaming: "GIVE ME MORE OSCAR!!!" ... someone has been watching too much Rose of Versailles with his mummy XD."

16.10.09 - 10:05

"My laptop crushed... again... But I have bluebery muffins ... which I am totally going to pretend are Axel von Fersen and TOTALLY going to bite their heads off!!! MUFFIN DA!!! :D:D:D"

16.10.09 - 22:32

" OK... laptop had to be rebuilt ... I spent the whole day rebuilding it ... spent the whole day NOT WATCHING ROSE OF VERSAILLES... I will now watch Rose of Versailles and it will be delightful... until they all die... then it will still be delightful OMGWTFSPOILERBITCH!!! ¬_¬"

17.10.09 - 12:30

"needs a BeruBara wall paper for her laptop... preferably from the manga. It would most definitely make my life A LOT better if I can gaze upon Oscar face every time I stare at the screen... OMFG!!! I AM TURNING INTO ANDRE!!! @_@ ... where is my coc...k gadnamit? Did the Black Knight cut it along with my eye... DON'T ANSWER THAT!!! ;_;"

17.10.09 - 15:09

"Apparently people who don't watch BeruBara can't figure out why I scream "Second place Blueberry Muffin - go back to Strawberry Shortcake! Lemon Tart wants to shag Chocolate Gateau now!" ... also people who actually watch BeruBar...a don't understand... so I should really stop doing that ... right? ^^;;"

17.10.09 - 15:15

"Fall of the Bastille - 1789. First Publication of the Communist Manifesto - 1848. Quoting Carl Marx in an anime about the French Revolution - PRICELESS!!! Most things in life have logic - for everything else - there is JAPAN!!! ♥ ♥ ♥ "

And finally today:

"I know they couldn't fit everything from the manga into the anime but I really wish the almost poisoning scene was in for the sake of ANGST, the getting drunk in the gazebo from the Takarazuka... for the sake of ANGST and the "Wet Andre has... no clothes" from the manga for the sake of NAKED!!! :D:D:D"

And I would love to tell you that I have now gotten all the BeruBara out of my system but I would be totally lying and my mummy told me that lying makes hair grows on the palms of your hands and... oh wait... that is WANKING!

Too late for that then ^^;;.

That my laptop died a death and had to be rebuilt ... AGAIN!

So I rebuilt it.

AND MADE IT FRENCH!



And thus my exciting story comes to conclusion!

THE END!
