Dear Vivienne Westwood

I probably don't "get" fashion. I love pretty clothes and I like stylish stuff, and I spend a lot of time guffawing at Go Fug Yourself, but there are things that are considered avant garde that I just think are weird and awful.

Enter Vivienne Westwood, and you know, I wouldn't care at all, except that she is dressing my Jacey - MY JACEY - in her shizz. I mean, look:


Start at 2:33 - Jacey is right after the two boys holding hands.

Okay, so that's bad enough, right?

But then:

He begins at 0:13. He's wearing something resembling a 500-year-old bearskin rug and pushing a shopping cart! Are you even kidding me?? It's too awful!

So, Dear Vivienne Westwood,

STOP.

Gratefully,
Katie Starfish

Joyful, Joyful

Gah, it's been so long since a Jacey Thursday or a Jackspiration! Time for some pics of the boys (and unfortunately, not a great deal in the way of "new" stuff, so if the photogs and advertising companies out there could do something about that for me? Yeah, that'd be swell. Thanks).

Jack and Jacey are happy! In love! Doin' it again! We need happy pics. :)




Honey, you should always, always be smiling. :)







And beautiful Jacey. :)

















Just beautiful. :)

Tempting Tuesday: Starfish422 recs Spork on the LUSTorium

Some weeks ago I was approached by Miztrezboo of the LUSTorium with a request to write a recommendation for some Star Trek fiction.  The blog is branching out to become multi-fandom, an awesome way to remain relevant and to expose readers to new genres they may not otherwise find.

Boo knows how I love the Spock/Kirk fiction, and when she asked me I jumped at the chance to write a recommendation for potential Spork readers!


I Got Ur Back BOO, by TheStupidCupid

The piece was posted today, and you can read it here.   Also, I always have an ongoing spreadsheet of Spork recommendations that I update by email for those who request it. If you're interested, please drop me a private message at my FFn profile!

Deep Dish update

Just popping in to let you know that Chapter 32 of DD is in progress and is about half-done right now.  It will definitely be posted by the end of the week! :)  October was the month from hell and I'm just returning from a trip to Columbus to visit my lobster Bethie (actually sitting in Philadelphia Airport right now).  After this, though, life will be quieter again. I'm back to 3 days a week at work instead of 5 days, which will give me actual writing time now.  Thanks so much for your patience!

Within Our Reach, by starfish422

So I finally, FINALLY, got my Fandom Gives Back piece finished and sent to BeCullen and Melooza, the lovely, generous and patient women whose donation commissioned it. :)  After they read it, they graciously agreed to allow me to share it.  As you may know, it's a Spork/Kirk slash fic based in the Star Trek reboot movie.

It's now posted on FFn and on Archive of Our Own, as well as on the Kirk/Spock Fanfiction Archive. If I ever figure out how to post to LJ, it'll be on there too. :)

Simply beautiful.

Jack and Jacey meet...

...and in Over The Top, it happens today! Edward and Jasper's wedding took place October 23, 2010, and as you know, Jack met Jacey the night before their wedding, at the club in Austin.

When Jacey was just a boy in a club...

and Jack was just a lonely stockbroker...

...there was this. And it was today.

Checking in

Hi. :) I know it's been a few weeks since I posted. I have been working diligently on my Spork fic and it is this close to being finished. Actually, I've promised my girls BeCullen and Melooza that they will have it on Saturday night! So then I'll go back to working on DD. :)

I know I've been just horrible about Jacey Thursday and Saturday Jackspiration. There have been so many serious things taking place in the news recently that it's made me feel almost guilty, somehow, to dedicate blog space to vapid stuff like ogling guys. At the same time, I know we have to have fun and let off steam from time to time as well.

On that note, a verrrry lovely behind-the-scenes video of the recent Details photo shoot that put Chris Fine Pine on the cover. Thanks to @creampuffsteph for sending this along. :)



And there's this.

Even he can't believe how big it is.

Wear Purple on October 20 for Spirit Day

I will be joining with thousands of others across North America on Wednesday October 20, wearing purple in memory of LGBT teens who have taken their own lives due to bullying. You can show support by wearing purple and by adding a special purple NOH8 twibbon to your Twitter profile. Also, colour your twitter and Facebook pictures purple for the day.

You can also help make sure that this movement doesn't become a simple one-off thing, that gets forgotten after the fervor dies down. Let's let this become a galvanizing moment in the gay rights movement. I believe it's particlarly important for straight allies to use the privilege inherent in heterosexuality to be vocal and visible in our support of young LGBT men and women.

Hate is easy. Love takes courage.
