~There's A Place That I Know :: It's Not Pretty There and Few Have Ever Gone...~

I broke down and put in a custom request at etsy for my Margot Lois Lane doll. Fairly certain that Anissa wasn't able to find one or someone to make it, so I'm doing it myself. I will have this damn doll if it kills me. I know where to get the Chris Superman statue for a good price; I just need her. After fifteen years of looking, it's time I had her. And I've already had someone offer to do the painting for her face if someone will just make her.

*gears up for the first battle of 2010: The Battle For A Lois Lane Doll*

I've heard this phrase one time too often, feeling my jaw tighten at that last. Which is flatly not true. And this comes from a woman who spoke to her face to face. A lot of people don't know much about Margot Kidder other than that she played Lois Lane to Christopher Reeve's Superman. A good portion don't know that she's Canadian by way of Yellowknife in the Northwest Territories, up near the Arctic Circle. They also have no idea of the filmography of this talented Method actress. Good example: do any of you know that she's had 119 appearances total in movie and film? Or that she dated Richard Pryor, Pierre Trudeau, Brian DePalma (who wrote the screenplay to Sisters and made the film for she and Jennifer Salt as a Christmas present), and various other famous men. She was part of the late 60s film movement in Laurel Canyon. She's well-known to most of the older power-players in Hollywood.

If you think you know Margot Kidder, I'd dare to say you're wrong.

You argue the point? Well, this isn't collected from her lips to my typewriter, but this write-up of her does a good job of telling you who she is. Here's my proof.

1.  

Now, ladies and gents, you know a bit more about the amazing woman that plays my favorite spitfire. The biggest crime is that a good portion of her work is unavailable to DVD or even VHS. It truly is a crime that almost no one knows just how talented she really is for just that reason. But sharing it makes me feel better. Thank you, Margot, for being the strong, brave, and unrelenting badass that you are even now. Like I said at Con, I know what you've done and always treasure you for it.

Okay, so I bought the cigarette case. Now I've decided that I want Margot's Rolling Stone cover. For real. That shot is just so pretty.

Yes, I know it makes me a total geek. Just shut up. :P

But look! Isn't that awesome? I mean, it's freaking Rolling Stone!



ETA: God mocks me. After seeing how many copies are on sale, I've decided that I'll purchase one after I get paid on Thursday, but I found something else out as I was searching. rizny, did you know that they have Willie and Phil, Trenchcoat, The Reincarnation of Peter Proud, Heartaches, and Louisiana for sale on eBay? The hitch? Every last damn one is VHS! *epic!wail of disappointment* Why must God mock us like this? *repeated headdesk*

Rob Zombie Casts Margot Kidder in H2

*dies laughing* Margie, I love you. Seriously. This is gonna be fun! ;)

This weekend just blurred by! I can't remember very much from Thursday on. And I'm terribly far behind on everything, but I will say this:

As to the rumors of two deaths by the season finale...

ETA (for the above): I stand corrected! XD So those two losses will take. ...hmmm... Okay, I think I'll be forced to agree with the rest of fandom. But I like my idea better. *crosses arms and pouts*

And then we went to see Watchmen on Saturday night. It's been years since I read the trade and I still remembered some of the details, but the pure gorgeousness on the images kept me pretty breathless throughout.

And I have to just have a moment here to have a little sendoff to one of my favorite shows, although they've done some pretty lousy out-of-character things to their cast this year. A bittersweet goodbye to The L Word after six seasons. Some of the storylines from this season were just barely believable, but they did manage to get the long-awaited Shane and Jenny pairing in there, despite Ilene's twisting their story for the sake of drama. We deserved better and so did they. That said, Jenny Schecter, I shall miss you madly. You were the girl I was best able to identify with and you were never understood as well as you should have been. Thank God for Shane. Rest in peace, darling. I can't imagine my Sunday nights without you and Shane.

And last but not least, I have foreverkooky to thank for this video of twenty-two-year-old Margot on Dick Cavett! Head over to RV and check it out!

Okay, since I keep talking enough that the phone post has cut me off twice, let me finish this and post the pics.

( Cut For EPIC MARGOT!SQUEE )

I dropped a pretty good wad of cash on an outfit and a few seperates from Norma Kamali to choose from when I met Margot. At an hour to go before we leave, I realize that the outfit is waaaaay too formal and the weather has changed, so I can't wear the other two pieces I I brought. And I decided this an hour before we left....

*epic!headdesk*

So, I'm meeting Margot Kidder in street clothes. Dressed like Kala. In a t-shirt that says' I'm Only Wearing Black Until They Make Something Darker' and a spring-green embroidered peasant skirt.

*another epic!headdesk*

*sigh*

And I wanted to look normal. *EPIC!FAIL*

*LOL* And off we go!
