This is one of the reasons why I love Neil Gaiman so very, very much:
I had an utter fanboy moment when a faintly familiar-looking person came over at the end and introduced himself as Philip Pullman, and I just started gushing foolishly, and he was kind enough not to notice.

Heh. My mother just called me out of my room to show me a production of Jesus Christ Superstar that's showing on Ovation. It appears to be set amongst a group of gay London punks. Unfortunately, neither Judas nor Jesus is remotely attractive of charismatic. Judas has just had a sulk attack because Jesus is being pawed by Mary, and smirking about it. It's understandable--Jesus is sporting a shoulder length blonde curly 'do, and a bland outfit right from Aberzombie or similar. The costumer should be shot--Jesus is gayer than the rest of them put together, but he also doesn't fit the clean-leather-jacket and red t-shirt look, either. He has one facial expression: angsty woe. Even Orlando's managed two: confusion and angry about confusion (deadspiders's joke, not mine). So far there's been one attractive man: Pilate. And he looks like he's a centrefold from a gay magazine. Give me my black Judas in an odd pink pant suit (oh, sorry--it's cerise) and lightly bearded Jesus any day. Not to mention the rawther attractive basso Caiaphas inexplicably sans shirt.


Steph's coming over tomorrow. I should probably clean my room. Or I could continue trawling goff communities. Hey ho, said Anthony Crowley.

Oh, and now that's put me in a bit of a pickle, because now if I ever meet Gaiman, I'll have to fangirl him not just for his brilliance, but for his impeccable taste and style when it comes to his OWN fanning. It's a scary, vicious cycle. :P

What with JCS and 'Godspell', Jesus/Judas is shaping up to be the new OTP. :P

Dude, it's my OTP from way back. I just prefer my Judas/Jesus to have acting ability.

Have you seen 'Godspell' (http://www.livejournal.com/users/deadspiders/22963.html)?

[delirieuse.livejournal.com]

I've only seen a bit of the movie, but I know the music reasonably well.

[deadspiders.livejournal.com]

You should rent it - cements the OTP forever. :P

Uh, you're welcome?

You guys always forget Orlando's third expression - hopelessly in puppy-love. Now, I understand that the eyes are similar to "Confusion", but the eyebrows are lifted instead of knitted.

Honestly. e.e

*giggles* You're so right.
