Pretty, and question

[beer_good_foamy]

Right, so first, pretty from still_grrr:


And for those of you who don't get the reference (at least I hope that's the reference xlivvielockex was making) and you don't mind watching the last scene of The Sopranos again, here it is.

Then, a question especially for US folks: can someone explain to me the appeal of Mary Kate Olsen, apart from the fact that she used to be jailbait a couple of years ago? She just joined the cast of my current favourite TV series, Weeds, and they're promoting it as if she's the lovechild of Meryl Streep and Dustin Hoffman. I don't get it. She's passably pretty with enough make-up, but judging from her first episode she can't act at all. Why can't smart, ever so slightly anti-establishment TV shows remain like that, without celebrity guests? At least Paris Hilton only got one episode on VM, not ten... ETA: I mean, I get that she has a fanbase, even though I don't get why. I'm just surprised that it's the same fanbase as a very adult dark comedy.

Oh well. The last-episode-but-for-the-epilogue of "Elves, Gremlins and Eskimoes" is almost done. Plus, obviously there had to be a Rock on Faith challenge at facets_of_faith just a couple of days after I posted a few fics about Faith and rock'n'roll... so I guess I'll just have to write another. Hell, there are birthdays coming up and I've never written Faith/Willow before.

Well I'm a US folk and I've got no clue at all... I liked her and Ashley when they did their Olsen and Olsen Mystery Agency show-a-majigger when I was... oh... 10. But since then... no idea

Not sure, she's not nearly as trashy as Paris though. There's a bit more respectibility for her and her sister. No clue on the acting though, as the last I saw of her doing that she was 2. I personally am excited about Weeds regardless, I can't wait for the next season esp since the way they left it off was well... Cruel.

Faith/Willow?

But - but I thought it was Fuffy forever with you.

The Olsen twins are one day younger than me. That's one random piece of knowledge I'm not sure where I got. Huh.

I do not get the appeal though. *shrugs*

Oh drat!! And you were a darling and crossposted them, didn't you?

*sigh* I am so sorry about that. It wasn't at all intentional. If you had any ideas about challenges, I'd be happy to make it up you...

Mary Kate and Ashley

I don't know how they ever got past their first show. They were the ugliest toddlers EVER. Once they got older they were cute enough to attract the tweeners, who don't know good acting from bad, anyway.

*tries not to look too perky/hopeful*

But I *am* still down in the dumps, so not to act entitled (see Deadwood), but if you feel up to some more motivational posters, I could sure use some motivation, as well as inoculation against depression...I'm thinking Shaun Of the Dead?

(And re Faith/Andrew: I can't remember the title or author, but I saw one of those once, set in S7, and it was actually a lot of fun. As long as a writer gets the characters right, just about anything can work.)
