Take care out there.

Getting ready for New Year's... wish it involved a party dress.

Finished the Christmas Chocolate Orange.

Amber Heard

A reminder of Amber Heard's existence while Aquaman 2 is in cinemas

How very festive

Agahta Christie's Murder Is Easy is even set in summer. Still, has some nice frocks...

Idly wishing I could have gotten a little pink pill for Christmas.

The Church On Ruby Road

Hell yes I want to be Ruby.

Roll on May and that Regency dress...

Happy Holidays!

Or a good day any way.

Billie Eilish - Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas

Billie Eilish - Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas

Two days?!?!

More like now actaully.

Midwinter

The light comes back.

blink

Did Star Trek: TNG adapt Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches 30 years ago? Hm.

Ooh new Zoe Kravitz perfume ad

One week?

One week?! When did that happen?!

The Return Of The King premiered twenty years ago. it's like in the old stories...

The Goblin Song

It's Christmas music, after all! And streaming proceeds go to Children In Need. Not Children To Feed.

More What If...? More Captain Carter! No sign yet of more zombies, hopefully.

Andre Braugher

Wednesday 13!

And that's magic!

Daily bunny no.2332 has nothing up his sleeve

Will Quinn

Two weeks

Two weeks? When did that happen?

Spice Up Your Life

And having said I liked Posh Spice back in the day, I can now admit I want to be Baby.

Bi-generation

Bi-generation, huh? I see what you did there, Doctor Who.

Christmas Mice bonus

And looking that up, I discovered that the Dickensian mice in The Muppet Christmas Carol went on to star in a Christmas special with Robert Downey Jr.

Christmastime Mice

Currently helping deal with buildup to Christmas, including letters to Santa. And among the polar bears nd penguins (wrong pole!) helping in the various letters and stickers, there are more mice than I'd have expected. I guess from "The Night Before Christmas"?

But of course because Heroine has the Time Mice who were very happy to help Santa, here are just a few and who they could be...

Writer and Worker making sure a parcel is properly wrapped

Hero bravely clambering over a row of presents to secure the bows on the wrapping

And of course Cookies is so happy to help in her new Santa hat!

Mayfair Witches

Mayfair Witches follows Interview With The Vampire onto TVs here. It's a much more normal genre show.

Goodbye pandas, only ones in the UK, have a good flight home.

Three weeks? When did that happen?

Fairytale Of New York

It was Christmas Eve, babe... in the drunk tank...

FURIOSA

FURIOSA trailer

December!

And World AIDS Day.

Happy St. Andrew's Day

As you can perhaps tell, November has been a bit busy.

Shane MacGowan

The Sandman

The Sandman began in comics 35 years ago. The TV series is back in production.

Not that I have much shopping left to do. Ha! Good thing too, looks like snow.

And now looming Christmas.

Ahhh.

Doctor Who: The Star Beast

A trans hero, with reminders of how to be supportive, and a pronoun check for someone else.

“Homophobia and transphobia happens when it’s something you’ve never seen before, you can temper that reaction and change it when you introduce these images to people happily, and calmly, and normally when their young. Then it just becomes normal. It is normal!”

Russell T Davies

Scream VII ruined by people being opposed to genocide.

Happy Thanksgiving!

And/or Doctor Who anniversary.

Dada dada DAAA dada!

The Last Dinner Party

I want to be at least two of The Last Dinner Party.

Annnnd Netflix takes other shows off. :/

Scott Pilgrim Takes OFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Loki was certainly a TV show.

Trans Rights TARDIS

LGBTQ TARDIS pins

As worn by David Tennant!

Madame Web

What if one of those Sony Spider-Man villain movies might actually be... fun? Madame Web.

Ditto.

Likewise.

Really rather tired.

And more of Interview With The Vampire ASAP.

Now give us Coyote Vs. Acme.

The Marvels

The Marvels was great fun. Carol, Kamala and Monica bounce off each other in fun ways, some of it is incredibly silly in good ways, and it also has some upfront girly moments.

The actors strike is won!

I'm a tad jealous.

Between the fanciest 19th Century outfits in The Gilded Age and getting to be a Ghostbuster in the new movie, Carrie Coon is living my best life.

I aim to please

Working titles for next pair of Elliquiy series:

The Making Of A Showgirl

Sorority Bro

Stranger Things Day

Will Byers disappeared forty years ago today. That poor family went through so much.

Remember, remember

Dressing as Guy Fawkes has become much more a thing thanks to V For Vendetta and the mask and Anonymous going with it.

(Of course if I was going to dress up 1605 style it would be as someone else.)

wait...

it is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a beautiful house. with a beautiful wife

Halloween

With actual trick or treaters!

Doctor Jekyll

The new Hammer's new Doctor Jekyll stars Eddie Izzard, playing female as both Jekyll and Hyde.

The Escape Room movies keep putting redheads from urban fantasy romance TV shows as the nearly final girl. Hoping for Madeline Petsch if they do a third.

Matthew Perry

What would my Halloween costume be?

This year I'd be such a Barbie if I could.

Yes I'd like to look like Rachel Zegler as Snow White why do you ask

Quantum Leap

Quantum Leap is back too, with format changes on both sides.

Gargoyles

Revive Gargoyles, absolutely. Revive Gargoyles in live action, WTF?

Tony Stark, 1970-2023

Tony stark, Iron Man, died in the battle against Thanos. We have uncomfirmed reports of Natasha Romanoff, Black Widow, being lost as well.

And of course I'd by a vampire vixen.

Guess I'll watch Haunted Mansion some point.

Perfect day to rewatch Freaky...

Friday The 13th

Friday The 13th! In October! This is fine.

Do you feel lucky?

Interview With The Vampire

The new Interview With The Vampire TV series is here starting tomorrow.

Eras is coming

Or a perfectly agreeable secretary.

But a perfectly sweet little cheerleader.

I would, on the other hand, be a naughty schoolgirl.

Loki

Loki is back, at strange hours appropirately.

I'd be a nice nurse, I'd just dress like a naughty nurse.

Spoopy

Daily bunny no.2260 is preparing for spooky season

Will Quinn, September 29 so nicely prepared

Only Murders remains silly fabulous. More!

Red

Okay, main fantasy version of a Halloween costume this year, Katherine McNamara as Red Riding Hood, for her "role" in Boyfriend From Hell.

October

Black lips and nails time!

(I wish!)

Wake me up

Before you go go

Growing up, that is.

Not that I have any intention or likelihood of doing so.

I want to be like Lauren Mayberry if I grow up.

And going to be busy in October...

WGA Strong

Barbie Bonus

Barbie back in cinemas with extras!

Autumn

and yes the heating came on

Not busy but tired, so...

Heroine 2.14 gets to the title card

Just in time for one of the betrothed to disappear and it's not the one you might expect.

CHVRCHES

CHVRCHES released The Bones Of What You Believe ten years ago today.

Which of the Pickwick triplets did it?

Which of the Pickwick triplets did it?

Yes The Elysian Kingdom was my favourite episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds until the end.

New Buffyverse! In audio play form.

Next month it's a Friday, two and a half weeks before Halloween!

Office Boys' Club start

Here we go.

All the best.

RAIN

YEAH

The X-Files at 30

I still want to be Scully when I grow up.

The Sandman on disc too!

Yay!

OBC alternate cover

A mild example from a collection of not-OK-then-let-alone-now vintage men's magazine comics...

OBC opening

Chris Lewis took a deep breath, ran a hand through his fair hair, checked his tie, and knocked on the door to Mr. Barton's corner office warily.

He had been with Barton Danning Creative for just over four months, his first really relevant job after graduating, and with the talk of a big contract and whether it would happen, he was very aware that he was last in - and so first out.

He'd done his best to fit in with the corporate culture, which wasn't all different from a frat house. About a dozen men on one floor and no women would often trend that way. The last woman to work here was Mr. Barton's PA Jessica, and she quit last week, not helped by comment too many from New Projects lead and regular drinks-after-work ringleader Brad Moore or one of his sidekicks like Kyle Wallace or Cook Allen.

Chris went along with the nights out because he didn't want to seem like a square, and the general frat boy behavior to an extent. he wasn't the champion of the rec room pool table, but hey, give it time. There were only, ah, nine guys ahead of him.

Hopefully it hadn't lost them the contract. Probably not, apparently the company involved was pretty old-money... and probably kind of an "old boys' club" too, just in an older bracket.

Mr. Barton called for him to come in. No PA to do that for him right now, after all.

OBC cover

Title maybe too long but hey

OBC look

But how to be changed into the token girl in the office? A need for someone to be the token girl "temporarily", and a "last in, first out" threat of losing the job...

All of which results in...

Jorgie Porter

And it gets better worse from there.

The Office Boys' Club

One upshot of a recent project is some time at an office doing some admin... and fantasizing about having to follow a suitable dress code.

National Cinema Day

I would have done something for National Cinema Day if there had been something I wanted to do. I may go to a new release at full price this week as a more practical gesture of thanks.

Everybody needs good neighbors

Daily bunny no.2233 is just stopping by

by Will Quinn

September

Wake me up

Wake me up inside

etc.

Taylor Swift: Eras concert movie

Sure to be better views than I got for the actual show, but hey!

The Great

Very sad "Huzzah..." that The Great ends with season three.

Brooke Perry in slinky dresses

I fell for flouncy prom dress Brooke Perry, but would happily be slinky evening dress Brooke too. Having recently completed Co-ed without ever putting my character in one, I admit this oversight.

If I had to choose one I'd go flouncy, as I've demonstrated, but I can want this too.

So that was August.

And now Lauren Mayberry without CHVRCHES for balance. Also hmm.

Blerg.

Too dang hot

India is on the moon

Sreedhara Panicker Somanath, the chair of the Indian Space Research Organisation, after the Vikram lander touched down near the lunar south pole.

Ahsoka

Always-in light alien contacts mostly make actors look blind. Seems like something they could fix in this day and age.

Katherine McNamara

Katherine McNamara at the premiere of The Scorch Trials is one of my favourite hair and dress combinations.

The Mandalorian, WandaVision, Loki and more on disc

This bit in physical media!

And other episode and other shows too!

Only More-ders?

Only Murders in the Building EP John Hoffman Expects The Show To Have "A Good, Long Life"

That's okay, Adobe Acrobat Reader, I didn't want to read the thing I tried to open...

Early CHVRCHES without Lauren on vocals. Hmmmm.

75 Days To Halloween

75 Days To Halloween

Halloween

Halloween

Scott Pilgrim Takes Off

Oh yes.

Planet Of The Bass

There is nothing to be sad!

Cruel Summer

Cruel Summer season one is on free TV here!

All Allans.

NSYNC being escaped Allans refers back to NSYNC Fan Barbie. or the video for It's Gonna Be Me. Or...

New Dracula movie not coming to cinemas here :(

Hip-hop at 50

Hip-hop day one was August 11th 1973, at a house party MCed by DJ Kool Herc.

The Winter King

The Winter King, a new "grounded" King Arthur series based on novels by the writer of Sharpe, so there should still be some sword fighting and bodice ripping, even if there aren't fancy costumes. Starring Fitz from Agents Of SHIELD.

CHVRCHES are up to something. Yay!

Only Murders In The Building season 3

Meryl Streep is in the house!

And Paul Rudd isn't any more.

Bunny!

Bunny! At the post office!

(Not very in focus as I didn't want to intrude.)

I look forward to studios learning lessons from Barbie, probably not the ones about gender equity of course.

My toy story

I still have a lot of my old toys in the family attic. No Barbies, of course. But at least Princess Leia, though only in small action figure format as that was how Star Wars was.

Hari Nef

And can we have a Hari Nef romcom? Or action movie? Or as Doctor Who?

While also kind of wanting the maid uniform among other wardrobe choices.

Barbie

Yes, finally!

I love the message, and wish t wasn't so necessary.

August

Busy and warm?

Paul Reubens

Ride that little red bicycle.

Cardi B F Yeah

Throw a drink at the artist? Microphone to the face.

Busy weekends too? Yeesh.

Oh, apparently aliens haev been here for ninety years. Oh well.

I went to see an entirely different movie.

Was a Star Trek musical a good idea? Hm.

Agh no spoilers

Barbie was sold out

For the remotely helpful screenings anyway.

Still no Barbie...

And now I have seen Oppenheimer. Like I didn't have enough reasons to resent being in the closet.

Quantum Leap 2022

The new Quantum Leap is now on Paramount+. With a non-binary regular and an episode about trans rights in sports in the first season.

Still no.

The Marvels trailer

The Marvels has a villain as well as a predicament.

Barbie

No I haven't seen it yet.

...

...

...

...

Entering busy time. :/

A Masquerade RP title

A Masquerade, for AngelsSonata.

Billie Eilish, What Was I Made For?

Billie Eilish, What Was I Made For? featuring Billie as a vintage styled wee girl playing with doll clothes of some of her other looks.

It's not a fight between Barbie and Oppenheimer but Barbie is winning on tie-in song.

Barbie promotional tour

And also glad we got so much of the Barbie promotional tour.

Margot Robbie understood the assignment.

Oppenheimer premiere

While also glad the strike was announced after the start of the Oppenheimer premiere, bumped up a bit just in case so we got some red carpet looks.

Matt Damon, Emily Blunt, Cillian Murphy, Florence Pugh

SAG strike

Support!

Taylor Swift, I Can See You

I Can See You (Taylor's Version)

Taylor Swift, action heist filmmaker.

Hayley Atwell!

Presales only, try again later, boo.

Puppy Love trailer

Lucy Hale, Grant Gustin, cute dogs, it's a whole thing.

The very real possibility of seeing Taylor Swift next year

June 2024. Multiple days in a 67000 capacity stadium. Supported by Paramore. Tickets Monday. Wish me luck.

Nurses

And of course that makes me want to wear a vintage style nurse's uniform.

Barbara Windsor, Carry On Doctor (1967)

The NHS at 75

Happy 75th anniversary to the National Health Service, by which I was born.

USA!

Thank you for such American cultural exports as cheerleaders!

Dianna Agron in Glee

Happy 4th of July!

to all who celebrate!

Netflix does, in fact, bite.

Brooke Perry in that black dress

A cleaned up picture for reference.

Undercover Co-Ed conclusion

After almost four years, the end of Undercover Co-Ed on Elliquiy! Featuring Brooke Perry as me.

July

At least it's not as hot so far.

Happy Canada Day!

June

Well, that certainly was a month.

The Supreme Court continuing to be evil and shitty, I see.

Only Murders In The Building 3

August 8!

Also wanting bat wing sunglasses as seen on one of the wee Goths at Pride.

Elton John at Glastonbury

I hope you don't mind...

The Rainbow

"On June 25, 1978, the rainbow flag, representing gay pride, was flown for the first time during the San Francisco Gay Freedom Day Parade."

Pride

I walked, a reasonably brisk hour once the march got moving. Thousands of people, lots of trans inclusive banners and placards. I saw a PRIDEMONTH T-shirt too!

I love the Michael Keaton Batman movies but have no desire to see the new one.

Asset-stripping streaming channels. Ugh.

Midsummer

And, I hope, a break in the weather.

Miss Piggy believes in you

From the Muppets official Hellsite account

Juneteenth

And have a good Juneteenth!

Father's Day

Happy Father's Day for those who celebrate, and a good day for those who don't.

Summer plans

Daily bunny no.2155 making summer plans

Will Quinn Art

I'm with you, front left bunny.

The Elysian Kingdom

Hey, if you're going to get trapped in a story, make it one with nice outfits!

Christina Chong as La'an as Princess Thalia
with Melissa Navia as Ortega as Sir Adya

And she gets a puppy.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

Fun, inclusive, weird. Probably won't give us another fairytale princess episode this year but you never know.

Cruel Summer 2

Oh, we're going anthology and leaving the twist ending as the ending? Okay. And no more Olivia Holt in 1990s fashion? Aw.

Marvel's Secret Invasion

If I could change shape I'd turn into Emilia Clarke too.

The Boogeyman

Obvious Final Girl to be Sophie Thatcher was good Final Girl.

Jurassic Park at 30

Supposedly all female dinosaurs breeding say Trans Rights!

Bustle or bust

Aww, they cancelled the bizarre Walker: Texas Ranger reboot prequel Independence with Katherine McNamara in fairly practical 19th century dresses.

Hero and Worker Mouse make friends with a dragon.

Or...

The trick is finding a story I can do little and un-interactive. Maybe the one where Andy has to go undercover at a Goth night to catch a vampire. :)

He's Our Hero(ine) summer special

As a thank you to WB, if I can think of an idea for an adventure for Andy. Or possibly the Time Mice.

Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse

It was gorgeous. I was glad I knew it was part two of three. Points for being willing to get banned in some countries for having a Protect Trans Kids poster in one shot.

Get well mouse

Mouse Nurse by Robin Joy Andreae

Get well soon WB!

Love and mice

Not that I have much to say this month.

June

Happy Pride Month!

May

Well, that was a weird month.

Halle Bailey

The Little Mermaid dresses suitably for the premiere.

What would you do...?

A recent play prompt, a riff on what you'd do if you had one day female, where an X-Change sponsorship will give the perfect day to the applicant who gets the most votes.

Obviously for me I'd need a bridegroom to meet at the altar...

priDEMONth

When bad people appropriate snarky queer art and give it a massive boost.

Runaways

And Disney+ also canned some things with no warning at all, including Marvel's Runaways, after giving three days' warning for tjhe likes of The Princess and Rosaline.

Happy birthday Sir Ian McKellen!

Barbie full trailer

What is happening.

Tina Turner

Damn.

I've Goth girled up entirely, just never in public.

World Goth Day

Would that I could embrace this style fully. Goth boy clothes are fun but Goth girl clothes are so much more so.

Release The Bats!

Willow

Oof, damn, that show has some weird choices and some pretty cast members.

Disney+ removing shows

Including Willow, which only ended four months ago.

New Futurama? Huh. Okay.

Mission: Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part 1

Mission: Impossible now with added Hayley Atwell and Pom Klementieff having joined the Black Parade.

Doctor Who Regency episode

Also revealed around Eurovision, some more Doctor Who news, including that this could be my favourite episode next year, whatever it's about.

Jonathan Groff, Millie Gibson and Ncuti Gatwa

Clearly new companion Ruby is my kind of time traveller.

Nice to see Sam Ryder hanging around too, because he seems lovely.

Måneskin

Måneskin's latest single, Gossip, featuring Tom Morello. and the video with the band's various bits pixellated out.

Eurovision

I didn't liek Cha Cha Cha that much.

You can't spell Netflix without NIX

Netflix Netflixed Lockwood & Co.

Brie Larson looking nice at Cannes.

Poker Face

We are now able to watch Ruan Johnson and Natasha Lyonne's Poker Face legally, which is nice.

Beetlejuice(s)

A Beetlejuice sequel, after a mere thirty-five years?

Muppets Mayhem

It seems strange, on reflection, that we never got an electric Mayhem album during their residency at the Muppet Show.

The Coronation Concert

Katy Perry in a Vivienne Westwood gold lamé ballgown, with a timely reminder of how cool the Fourth of July is...
