Clothes

Blue Banana is fashion with an edge, funky clothes like band/graphic/bubblegum T-shirts, hoodies, corsets and skinnies. With brands varying from Converse all Stars, Hell Bunny, Hello Kitty, Marvel Comics, Newbreed Girl and much more...Though I haven't bought from there yet, I've got my eye on a few things.

New Look has some cute leather jackets and cardigans, the one I'm thinking of is is thick, long, has big buttons, pockets and a hood! I've got a fifteen pound voucher for this shop and it's hard to choose what to get. I already got some pj's with the other fiver, there real cute pink with foxes on. I've been thinking of getting some jeggings, since I've never owned a pair before, if I did get them they'd have to be black and look like skinnies.

Hurrah! I've resonantly bought the black leather looking boots with buckles, at Deichmann :)

The Vampire Diaries fan jewelery have also caught my eye. A year ago there was a competition to win The Twin Fox Ring, which appeases in Vamp Diary The Return: Shadow Soul. The ring allowed Elena to free Stefan from his prison. Which I didn't win, but have found a similar looking ring on eBay nevertheless.



Then the TV show came out (or maybe it came out before hand I don't know) and the crest ring both Damon and Stefan Salvatore weir became available as well. This is silver and is blue lapis lazuli, this ring in the series allows the vampires to walk around in the sun.

Also on eBay are hand made, (vamp diary) fan jewelery, of the vervain heart necklace both Caroline and Elena weir. Plus Tyler's moonstone and Bonnie's amber crystal.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a tv show of seven seasons and is very popular world wide. Joss Whedon is the creater of the cult-hit Buffy the Vampire Slayer and director.

"Into every generation a Slayer is born: one girl in all the world, a chosen one. She alone will wield the strength and skill to fight the vampires, demons, and the forces of darkness; to stop the spread of their evil and the swell of their numbers. She is the Slayer."

It changed peoples look on feminism, as the main character is a girl who kicks monsters butts and doesn't need a knight in shining armour to save her. Most of the other female characters are strong and indepentent as well, like Anya who punished men who wronged women.

It changed the way Lesbian culture was viewed. Willow and Tara are looked as gay icons and were the longest lesbian relationship on tv. Andrew I always thought was gay as well, since of his accsent and personality, though they never mentioned it.

Buffy: (to Giles) "To make you a vampire they have to suck your blood. And then you have to suck their blood. It's like a whole big sucking thing. Mostly they're just gonna kill you. Why am I still talking to you?"

This show is unique and probably has influenced loads of other vampire stories. The vampires look diferent to other vampires, when they change their eyes go yellow, their brow gets all scrunched up, they get fangs and their other teath are also sarrated.

The genre didn't fit into any of the other genre of the time, rather several. Like action, comedy, drama, romance, horror and supernatural. They even have there own language in a way.

Religion isn't exacly mentioned in it, but does show up. Crosses and holy water show up alot. Heaven and hell are both mentioned quite a bit. Gods (Glory) exsisted in it. Willow was jewish...

"Oh come on! Stake through the heart. A little sunlight. It's like falling off a log"

Season one.
Started 1997 and by my opinion was the Cheesiest. Some people think the first few seasons were the best, because each episode had it's own story and the later episodes carried on with a plot for the hall season.

Season one is where the Buffy moves to Sunnydale after burning down her last school's gym. Sunnydale high is known as the Hellmouth and there she meets her new friends Xander and Willow, Plus Giles her watcher, who help her fight evil. In this season they must stop The Master, an ancient ugly looking vampire, from opening the Hellmouth and taking over Sunnydale.

"Yeah, just see him in a relationship. 'Hi, honey. You're in grave danger. I'll see you next month!"




Season two.
Is when I started to got addicted. I loved Angel when he was bad.

In this season, a new slayer Kendra comes to town after Buffy died briefly and came back in the last season and theres new vampires in town as well Spike and Drusilla. Willow starts to practice with witchcraft and gets involved with Oz who got bitten and turned into a werewolf. Xander starts to date Cordelia, most popular girl at school, seacretly. Buffy and Angel develep a ralationship through the season, but after they sleep together Angel looses his soul and once more becomes Angelus and starts to kill.

"Can a vampire ever be a good person? Couldn't it happen?"




Season three.

Buffy returns to Sunnydale, after leaving end of last season, because of what she did to Angel. Angel gets resurrected and leaves at the end of the season when he realizes they can't be together (he then gets his own tv series) Giles gets fired from the watchers council after 'fathers love' for Buffy and at the end of the season Buffy also says she no longer wants to work with the council. A new unstable slayer (Faith) comes into town and at first she works with Buffy. But later on goes against the Scooby gang and befriends The Mayor Wilkins who then turnes into a giant snake and tries to kill everyone on graduation day. Faith later goes into a coma.

"A vampire isn't a person at all. It may have the movements, the memories, even the personality of the person it took over, but it's still a demon at the core. There is no halfway."




Season four.
Spike was hilarious with the chip in his head and Anya is quite amusing as well.

In this season Willow and Buffy start collage. Plus Xander joins the workforce and begins dating Anya. Spike returns and gets abducted by a top-secret military installation who put a microchip in his head, that stops him from harming humans. He reluctantly helps the Scooby gang and finds out he can fight demons. Oz leaves town after believing he's to dangerous as a werewolf and Willow falls in love with Tara. Buffy starts to date Riley who she finds out is a member of The Initiative. It seems it's a anti-demon operation, but secretly their making a demon/human/comuper hyprid called Adam.

"A vampire in love with a slayer. It's rather poetic...in a maudlin sort of way."



Season five.
Is one of my favorite seasons, since theres lot of Spike in it. Love the Buffybot as well, was real funny. Though at first with the new sister I was really confused. The end was really sad to.

Dawn is new and suddenly appears as Buffy's sister, although to the characters it feels like she's been there all the time. Glory a exiled hell-god comes into the story searching for the 'key' which would allow her to go back to the hell dimensions and unleash hell on earth. Later on we discover the 'Key' is in human form and is Dawn, though she doesn't know it and concurrently implanting everybody with lifelong memories of her. Riley leaves early in the season and Spike relizes he's in love with Buffy. Buffy's mother Joyce dies of brain aneurysm and Xander proposes to Anya. Then at the end Buffy sacrifices her life to save Dawn's and stopping the Hell dimensions from opening.

"Is Antonio Banderas a vampire?"

"Hey, I don't have a pulse. Cool! Can we eat a doctor so I can get a stethoscope and hear my heart not beating?"



Season six.
Was a good series, I love 'once more, with feeling' the musical episode.

Buffy's friends resurrect Buffy from what they thought was hell but was actually heaven. She falls into deep depression for most of the series. She takes up a job at a fast food place for the money and has a secret abusive ralationship with Spike. Dawn feels alienated. Xander leaves Anya at the altar, after which she goes back to a vengeance demon. Willow gets addicted to magic, which Tara doesn't like and leaves temporarily. They meet a new group of three nerds, all trying to kill Buffy and take over Sunnydale. Warren shows to be the only villain in the group and tries to Kill Buffy with a gun, but Kills Tara instead. This cause's Willow to use black evil magic and kills Warren. She then tries to destroy the world but Giles and Xander stop her. At the end Spike goes to a demon to get him to return his soul for Buffy.




Season seven.

Ended in 2003

It is revealed that Buffy's comeing back to life has messed with the balance of good and evil. This evil hunts down the potential slayers, killing them. Then he raises an army of turok-han vampires. After the watchers coucil is destroyed, Giles and Buffy go looking for the potential slayers and train them at her house. Faith returns to help fight The First Evil and so does the new principal Robin. Everyone flee's Sunnydale humans and demons alike, as the people neer the hellmouth start to act funnily. Angels returns to give an amulat to Buffy who then gives it to Spike. Willow makes all the potential slayers, slayers and together they all fight. Some characters don't survive and Sunnydale defintly doesn't, it's now just a crater.





Season eight comics.

The end of Buffy (tv show) isn't really the end since they go on in comic/graphic novels. The Buffy comics are very gripping like the tv show, with all the slayers (thousands) fighting a war against this masked guy called 'Twilight' who you later find out is Angel. Harmony has made humans against slayers, making them hide from the world. She gets her own reality tv show called 'Harmony Bites'. Theres also lots of other little things happening...like Dawn changeing first into a giant, then into a centaur and lastly into a porcelain doll, because of her boyfriend.



Characters.

Sarah Michelle Gellar plays the main character Buffy Summers. Who was a cheerleader, but then was chosen as the slayer.

Her first relationship was with Angel, who just happens to be a vampire with a soul, though she doesn't know it at first. It was a forbidden love, as she should of killed him. He turned into Angelus when he expirenced pure happyness, Angelus is a monstress killer. He gets his soul from gypsys as a curse. Angel gets his own tv show, whenn he leaves this one.

Her second lover was Riley, who is a secret military monster hunter, she met at collage.

Then theres Spike, also known as William the Bloody, because of his bloody poetry. He used to kill his prey with a railway spike hence the name Spike. Was originally a very evil vampire like Angel, Darla and Drusilla who he hanged out with, their called the Fanged Four. He was known for killing two slayers, his bleached blonde hair and leather duster. He proves to Buffy he loves her by getting a soul and sacrifing him self to save the world.

Drusilla is quite wicked and speaks in poetry. At first she is ill and needs Spike to look after her, but later she gets back her strength. She loves Spike very much, but so does she 'like' Angelus. She wairs gothic old fashioned dresses.



Giles is Buffy's Watcher, sent from the watchers council in England to train her. He is typicaly English and works in the school Libary.

Willow Rosenburg is a shy, nerdy girl who then becomes a witch and later finds out she's a lesbian.

Tara loves Willow and is also a witch, though she thinks Willow uses magic to much. She sweet and senctive.

In season two Willow goes out with Oz. A werewolf who plays gigs at 'The Bronze', a nightclub they always hang out at. He's a laid-back kind of guy.

In season one Willow has a massive crush on Xander Harris. He is said to be the observer of the 'Scooby Club' and has many crushs/lovers. In season one he falls in love with Buffy, but she doesn't like him in that way.



Anya was a vengeance demon, who granted women wishs and then later became a human. She has a relationship with Xander and was going to marry him. She is obsessed over money and is terrified of bunnies. A very funny character who says things before thinking.

Andrew is a geek, who is skilled at summoning demons and used to be in the 'Trio' with Jonathan and Warren, then later joined the good side.

There's ment to be only one slayer, but when Buffy died briefly another was called and then she died bring Faith into the story. Faith is a rogue slayer, who's from a rough background and makes the wrong decisions quite a bit.

Dawn (also known as 'the key') is Buffy's sister who joins in season five and it changes peoples minds as it seems she's always been there. Some fans found her annoying and thought she talked too much, I think she's alright.

Harmony is firstly a dumb blonde who is the school builly. Then after graduation she turns into a vampire and dates Spike, she still is girly and not that evil. She loves unicorns.

Cordelia is Harmony's friend and has a real attitude, she also is kinda bitchy. Later she finds out about demons/vampires and hangs out with the scooby gang, secretly going of for a snog with Xander.




Buffy the Vampire Slayer The Movie.
Before the tv series there was a movie done in 1992. Staring actress Kristy Swanson. It is the most cheesiest thing I've ever seen, the vampires are so fake, they have pointy ears and walk around snarling and take such a long time to die when stabed in the heart.

The story is about Buffy who's a cheerleader, going to a school at Los Angeles. She is popular and only cares about boys, friends and fashion. One day a strange guy called Merrick who is a watcher aproaches her and says she is the slayer, but Buffy refuses to believe it. But has to because of the weird dreams of other slayers. In the story she has to kill the local king vampire called Lothos who says he's killed loads of other slayers.



Big Buffy fan and choose to do this as my English speaking and listening discussion. In between the writing there are quotes from the tv series and have used some help for summing up the plot from wikipedia. Does contain spoilers.

Role-playing

Role-playing pen to paper, is where you play out a story. Users will come up with ideas for the story and you will make your own characters. Users will write a line/paragraph in there characters pov and then the other users will also do the same and it goes on and on. No god modding, don't control other peoples characters.

I'm doing a role-play on Meg Cabot's forum. My story is called Mystical Beings. It's about a group of friends that are not quite human and are very much paranormal. Each are different from one another, yet still close in their friendship. These friends live in a magical world called Gemageia. They attend a boarding school...
These friends could be any magical creatures such as witches, vampires, werewolves, fairies, ghosts, demons, psychics, angels, half breeds....etc

My Characters are.

Name: Anya Summers
Age: 16 years old
Appearance: Small and dainty, green eyes, auburn short spiky hair, pointy ears, delicate emerald wings. Wears forest coloured long skirts and flowing tops, hippy clothes.
Personality: Makes words up or speaks in poetry, she lives in her own little world, is unique and other beings think she's mad.
Species: Fairy

and

Name: William Rush (Will)
Age: 17 years old
Appearance: Tall and slim but muscular, silver eyes, raven short curly hair, pale skin, fangs. Wears dark colours, leather jackets and jeans.
Personality: Doesn't play by the rules, is a bad boy, dark and seductive, handsome and sexy, he's misunderstood for he is quite sweet to the one he loves.
Species: half vampire (mother's side) , half werewolf (father's side)


I start the story of like this:

It was the start of a new year and already William had detention for missing the first few lessons. Now it was lunch and he scoured the ever green school field searching for his friends.

Anya sensed Will was near and looked over her book of 'Romeo and Juliet' to make eye contact with him. "Old English is so beautiful" She said, randomly.


Then there's the role-playing which is like acting, we're doing that at English at the moment. We did do a scene, where we were stuck up a cliff and it was fun with all the drama. Now we're historical people, I'm Joan of Arc and we have to act like we're talking about the modern age, while sitting in heaven.

I was think about sitting with my legs apart, like a man and acting confident. I'd speak in olden language (thy, thus, ye, art thou..) and talk about how I'm glad woman are treated equal to men and are allowed to weir men's attire.

Part Two Halloween costumes

These are other good ideas for costumes that I might do...

I could do Buffy. Blonde wig, leather jacket or trousers, animal print, cross on a necklace and a wooden stake.


Willow from Buffy, she is a nerdy witch. Here she has turned evil. For her I would need dark hair, black contacts, a dark dress and draw the veins in eyeliner faintly than put white powder on top.



Willow. Though here she is a sexy vampire but from another alternate universe. For being her I'll need to wears the vampire brow, yellow contacts, a red wig or dye my hair red, fangs, red lipstick, leather trousers and that leather top which looks hard to find...






Illyria, is from Angel, is an old one thinks her self a god. She has tooken over Winifred (Fred) Burkle body after it got infected. She has blue streaks in her hair and a icy bluish looking face. She wairs a redish superhero like costume which might be hard to make...



Lorne, is from Angel a spin off of Buffy. He is also know as The Host and was born as Krevlornswath of the Deathwok Clan. He is a friendly demon who by singing can tell you about your live. He wears brightly coloured suits.



This prosthetic mask is also from Awen Creations, plus put on green make-up seperetly.

It's Hell

Prom Nights From Hell - Unseen
Story one - Chapter one

It's Hell - Blogger. (Read more here)

Music engulfed the gym hall, where 2009's prom was being held. A mass of sixteen year olds swayed to the slow tune with their partners. Another throng of teens hovered at the back of the gym where refreshments were held. A gentle chime of voices vibrated throughtout the room. Most of whom were eager to dance and have a good time.

I stood at the end of the large table, mounded high with scrumptious food. Which I couldn't even eat.

Near by a couple of cheerleaders and jocks were deep in conversation, oblivious to my presence.

I was invisble, no one was conscious of my being. Asides from last year, that was another story. Last year I was the center of attention, I wasn't a cheerleader, but I was popular. I had many admirers, yet I didn't like anyone of them. Since I was in love with Nigel, who didn't seem to share my feelings. He was mysterious and handsome, with bleached blond hair, dangerous grey eyes, he was also very tall and muscular.

I gulped back tears, not like I could cry any way, but I felt the golf ball deep in my throat and the urge to cry. My past was terrible and I wished I could move on.

A girl (who's name I don't know) came strolling over to where I was, staring at the bowl of crisps that lay on the table behind me. Before I could move out of her way, she went straight through me. I gasped at the tingling sensation that spread over my whole body and the girl shivered, wrapping her arms around her self.

The Fire

The Fire, is a short story which I write several years ago and was done for a creative writing essay. The teacher started us of with a theme and the start of the sentence. He then gave us a topic to cover in five paragraphs, 1. Beginning 2. The fire men 3. The owners 4. Climax 5. After marth....



The fire began to consume the building, it was all my fault. I shouldn't have been messing around with the matches. Then i realised i was still standing in front of the house, with the matches in my hand. I looked very guilty. What if someone saw me and reported me to the fire men, when they came or even worse, the police! So i ran and hid in between the trees, watching as the flames grew higher and the house was being demolished.

Someone must have seen and phoned the fire men, because big red fire engines, yes more than one!, there were two! Came thundering down the road, making that really annoying wailing sound. They screeched to a halt outside the house and jumped out, getting the water hoses out and pointing them towards the house.

Anne was the girl who lived in the house. She was vile, horrid person, who stole my bestfriend and every one else i cared about. I had became unpopular, invisible and no one ever looked twice at me. I was jealous, had all ways been jealous and jealousy was the thing that made me set fire to her house.

What was left of the house, was the black, burnt structure. It smelt damp from the fire men having put it out. It also smelt of burnt wood and big thick, foggy clouds of ash and steam which hung over it. Well, what was left of it.

It was dark and no one was around. I came out of my hiding place in the trees. Slowly i walked to the remains of the house. I started to cry. I knew i was jealous of her, but why did i have to set fire to her house? I never wanted to go that far. I didn't mean to, but it was too late, i had already done it. But why was i crying? It was what i wanted! Wasn't it?

Halloween Costume

I know halloween is like a month or so away, however already I've been thinking about costumes. I've got these two great ideas: A vampire from Buffy, Drusilla or Neytiri from Avatar. both need to be bought (I've only got £10 at the moment, though) and both useing threatre make-up, prosthetic masks and yellow contact lences would look awesome with it as well. Plus I would need a gothic dress, vampire teath or a blue navi all in one, braided wig and ears.

Drusilla from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. She is a crazy vampire who's loves Spike.







Vampire brow and teath, both can be found at AwenCreation.co.uk.



Yellow contacts can be worn for Buffy vampires, twilight vamps and to be a Navi.





Neytiri from Avatar. She is native to Pandora and is called a Navi.



This is a feline prosthetic mask, from AwenCreation.co.uk. The make-up would be done separantely...

Accessories Wish list

pop culture plays a big part in our society. People like to follow the coolest trends from music, fashion and movies.

At the mo I'm wishing to get accessories such as:

A black velvet choker, inspired by Alice Cullen from the movie Twilight.

A cross necklace, triggered by watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Black manicure with a white tip, loved Drusilla's nails in Buffy.

Leopard print clothes in bright colours, after reading Stray series by Rachel Vincent.

Checkered shirt in a vivid colour, saw in Cult and fell in love with them, only they didn't have it in my size.

The twin fox ring, was a accessory from the book The Vampire Diaries - The Return Shadow soul and was up for grabs.

Leather jacket, in nearly every book/movie I read or watch the character has a leather jacket and it's kinda made me wanta have one.
