My Weekly Addiction

Buffy The Vampire Slayer

I’ve mention my love of all things vampire a couple of times before I believe. Of course I consider my self a true vampire fan not a twilight junkie. Don’t get me wrong I like twilight but a I was a fan of the fang long before glittering vampires entered the scene. One of my first flings with the vampires was Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I personally think it’s a pretty good place to start. Admittedly the show revolves around killing the vampires because there the bad guys which is a tad different to what I normally go for but it still kicks ass. Besides it has Angel and Spike who are basically good guys, even if there are a few bumps along the road. We get to see a group of teenage friends band together to fight all thing evil. I can’t tell you the number of times my mind wandered during class to how much more interesting it would be to fight vampires than to sit through long division. The show managed to blend the humorous and romantic with the dark and twisty. The balance between the two opposite made for a great viewing opportunity. I also feel the musical episode deserves a special mention. It was utterly ridiculous in and stupendously fantastic way. It may have been a bit odd but damn once those songs are in your head they fight like hell to stay there.

I’ve got a theory…

…it could be bunnies…

Fangtabulous: Part 2

I figured after expressing my love for fangs I should introduce you to some of my favourite female vamps...

First up is my favourite bloodsucker the utterly fabulous Pam Ravenscroft. She can glamour me any time.

Ok so this isn't strictly a female vamp so much as a town full of them but really who am I to complain Morganville certainly has a unique charm.

Now sparkly vampires may not be my ultimate favourite but I guess I can make a couple of exceptions but which should I choose the Vixen Victoria or the Elegant Esme

Now I saved buffy for last she eased me into the world of vampires and even though she tried to rid the world of them a part of me still loves her.

So many vampires so little blood...

Fangtabulous

Okay so this week I've chosen to dedicate

my posts to Vampires. Now I know the

instant response may be Oh God not

another fang-banging, twilight groupie but

fear not I'm what I like to think I'm not a

fad fan but a true one. My first taste of the

fanged friends/foes came when a family

friends lent me the Buffy dvds. Lets just

say it was a downward spiral from there. I

must admit I did get caught up in the

Twilight Phenomena but as I said my love

for the fanged was around long before

Edward and Bella and I've found my tastes

tend to lean towards the more dark and

twisty antics of the True Blood vamps, trashy

they may be but damn they have one hell

of an appeal. Then again it fits right in with

my taste for tats and leather and all things

dark. Not that I'm morbid but each to their

own right. Whether they be on the big screen,

small screen or in the pages of a book I love

a good fang fix.
