Subject: Coco Before Chanel: A review of sorts
Security: Public

Really really did not like "Coco Before Chanel." Audrey Tautou is gorgeous and I could have looked at her all day, but I found her character's motivations unfathomable, and I had no sense at all where Chanel's great talent and style came from, nor was there any sense of the force in design she would one day become.

This was nothing but an overblown romance that somehow reduced everything she did to being about some guy. Nauseating. I HATED it.

Beautiful, yes. But blech.

I wish someone would make the Chanel film that is in my head. Because this is DEFINITELY not it.

I can't handle the crowds on Black Friday, and besides, my holiday shopping, such as it is, is done. (We're buying for the kids only this year, due to the financial problems of one of my brothers).

So my sisters in law and I are going to see "Coco Before Chanel," while my brothers and their sons do their manly, boy-ly thing without us. And then this evening, [info]not_yet_defined is doing a marathon of 101-102 and 512-513 over at [info]qaf_marathons, so that's what I'll be doing when I get home!

See you then!

Security: Public
Tags:ficcage

First, Happy Thanksgiving to all!

A couple of new fandom friends don't know the origin of the name of the current celebration in [info]qaf_drabbles , "Gusmas," so I thought I'd explain.

Once upon a time, four fangirls wrote a story together, and the unbelievable [info]url_girl illustrated it. (Well, we didn't write it, exactly -- it was divinely inspired, so it might be better said we channeled it.)

It was the story of Assbaby!Jesus (Gus for short), and of course, it's his birth we celebrate during the Solstikwanzanukkamas Season, which runs from Thanksgiving to New Year's Day.

Be warned if you choose to read this fic; you're sure to end up on the bus to the hot place if you do.

I bring you some Thanksgiving fare - Brian and Justin style. To everyone celebrating, have a great holiday and to all others enjoy your Thursday!


Thanksgiving by Myrna - when Myrna gets it right, she gets it so very right and the end of this story makes me melt...just melt.

So, I've been working on Directions today.... it's so good to feel the fic flowing again. :)

I am going to try to finish it this weekend and send it for beta, although I may need next weekend to get it done. I should probably wait until after the Thanksgiving weekend to post it, shouldn't I?

In other news, I have bunnies for a Xena/Gabrielle fic, a Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer fic, and a Michael/Ben fic, and NO ONE but me really wants to read any of those things. It makes me sad, yo.

Although I also have a Drew/Emmett bunny and I know at least Travis likes to read those!

How is it possible I have no QAF Thanksgiving icons? I have every other freaking holiday!

Anyone help a fangirl out? Are there any Thanksgiving icons floating around you feel like sharing?

Love,

Xie

Never, ever go on vacation, especially a really good one.

The crash when you get back to real life is a bitch.
