Three Gothic Aristocrats walk into a bar: Count Drunkula, Count Mackula, and Count von Pennies. The first one hails from Ireland... the second is Italian... and the third is a Jew.
Oh, I crack myself up! One could write a book about the bizarre things La Carmina does to amuse herself. Chapter One: She was so excited to be publishing her next book under Penguin that she immediately ordered a plush toy version of the publisher's mascot. ($15 from Penguin USA, reduced to $13 if you enter the coupon code NACCP.) It met her kawaii standards, but was far from sufficiently Gothic. What's a Goth Loli to do?
Turn him into the avian cousin of Bunnicula! She replaced his goofy orange bowtie with a shimmery red and black cape. His flippers got the corset treatment with white nail polish. A few strokes from a bottle of red gave him a bloody beak and hellfire eyes. The final touch - a metal nose (beak? ) stud. Bwa ha ha ha!
Can you think of a good name for the little vampire? Count Waddlesworth, perhaps?
PS - Actress Joanna Lumley recently caused a stir with her words: "The young ones don't do anything nowadays. You must learn to sew. It is pretty shaming if you can't sew." What are your thoughts?
