No, but seriously, do you know how amazing Vincent Price is?

image

Not just as an actor, although he was a blast to watch in everything he did.  He’s one of those actors who’s just clearly having a whale of a time, no matter how bad the film is.  He’s just genuinely happy to be there (it makes his villains a particular delight, and he played a LOT of them).

image

But did you know that he was also on the PFLAG board after his daughter came out to him?  And that he was one of the earliest celebrities to speak out against the silence surrounding the AIDS epidemic?

image

Did you know that when his daughter came out to him, he admitted to her that it had been difficult for him during his first two marriages, because his wives had not been pleased to find out that their husband was just as interested in men as they were?

image

That’s right, kids, Vincent Price was BISEXUAL AS FUCK, and it was one of those open Hollywood secrets.  And his wife Coral Browne?  The one he grew old with and wrote cookbooks with and was basically ridiculously sweet with?

Also bisexual as fuck.  They were the queer power couple of Hollywood in the 70s.  His daughter, Victoria, grew up around Rock Hudson and members of the LGBT community.  When she came out, Vincent Price became a board member of PFLAG and was just about the most accepting and awesome dad.

image

Did you know that Vincent Price played Oscar Wilde in a one-man play, and when it was denounced by anti-gay activist Anita Bryant, he dismissed her right back, saying that Oscar Wilde had already come up with a term for her: a Woman of No Importance?  Because Vincent Price was deliciously witty and an awesome person.

image

Let me conclude with a quote from his daughter (from this article, where I got a lot of this information):

‘“In a funny way, and I think I’m going to cry, he understood me at 22 better than I understood myself then,” Price concluded. “Of course, he was in his 70s and lived a hell of a lot longer than I had, and he understood that at the end of the day it’s about who and what and how we love. And I have not been a person who has been very successful at conventional relationships, but loving well and loving deeply has been the most important thing to me.”’

Happy birthday, Vincent Price.  You were a gem of an actor, and an even greater human being.

a list of things one of my circus coaches has said unironically:

  • “he’s vegan, atheist and gay but don’t worry, he’s actually a nice person! the disclaimer was because he’s vegan, not because he’s gay. obviously, my boyfriend would be pretty upset if i was getting at someone for being gay.” 
  • “if i messed up, i‘d be the first to run into traffic. don’t tell the children i said that, jokes like that are never funny. unless i’m making them.” 
  • “this child doesn’t know that paper comes from trees. i mean i know this is a circus school, not a normal school, but you can leave now.” 
  • “not that i’m promoting alcoholism. just alcohol.” 
  • “i wouldn’t care about kylie jenner except she’s promoted this contouring culture and now i can’t walk down the street without seeing fifty women who don’t know where to correctly apply their shading” 
  • “child, you look tragic. oh god, don’t tell your mother i said that” 
  • “i don’t know why they keep paying me to be here. what am i doing? other than looking amazing, that is.”
  • “i got my entire ballet class to play football with a pilates ball today and we broke it, and, long story short: the ballet mistress has murder on the mind.” 
  • “you’ll regret it like i regretted my first shot of absinthe. well, that’s a lie. i never regret anything. especially absinthe.”
  • “have you ever done a handstand hungover? no? don’t.” 
  • “everyone can dance if they believe enough! well, everyone can dance if they work at it all the time and don’t quit, but anyone can move their body roughly in time to the rhythm if they believe enough!”
  • “dating a baker is great in theory, but he keeps baking, and i ate an entire cake last night all to myself. don’t laugh, i don’t know if our relationship will survive if i get fat”
  • “everyone has natural virtues. well. most people have natural virtues.” 
  • “glitter makes everything better. you can quote me on that.” 
  • “i swear to goodness. haha. i swear to goodness? there’s no goodness in me”
  • “if reincarnation is real then i hope i come back as kate bush”
  • “have you ever got a hula hoop to the face? no? would you like one? no? then stop talking”
  • “hello! i know i’m late but the world will end some day and you won’t care about it then.” 
  • “it was very funny when that ball hit you in the face. not that i promote violence! i just promote violence that makes me laugh”

*cracks knuckles*

Lets play a little game of facts. Most of you know I’m film industry. A few of you know that I am, among other things, camera.

Also female.

This makes a difference. Wanna know why? Some of the problem is that the job is still referred to by a lot of people as being a “Camera Man”

Yeah. That’s a thing.

Another issue is that hiring for departments aren’t handled by the production, they’re handled by the Head of that particular Department. What this means in practise is that 9 times out of 10 the camera team consists of the Director of Photography and his 3 mates. There’s an intensely bloke-y culture to anything technical and something as sought after as Camera ESPECIALLY.

What this means is that women in the Camera Department make up less than 2% of the workforce. The actual number, last this was calculated, was actually 1.1%

1.1%. Think on that for a moment. Think how low that number is. Women make up 7% of CEOs and that is plastered everywhere as an abominably low number. Think about how, as a woman, you are more likely to be a CEO of a business than to find work in the Camera Department. Then think about how the Camera Operator is second to the Director of Photography and think how rare it is to find a woman that high up under those circumstances.

Hayley Atwell is absolutely right to trumpet the fact that they have a woman in that position. Fucking power to her. And power to her CamOp because my god, she must have worked so hard to get where she is and put up with so much shit to do so.

i’m all for ghosts who are nervous about their first haunting but i’m also all for ghosts on their millionth haunting who are just showing up for the paycheck at this point

“you’re on big house in the woods duty again charlie” “ugh. let me guess. suburban white family. the dad’s all “this move is good for us”.“ “yep” “listen i’m just gonna slam all the doors really fucking loudly and shout boo”

i’m intrigued by this post. by saying the ghosts r “just showing up for the paycheck” are u implying that ghosts are paid for hauntings? do ghosts have to work for a living? are u implying the existence of ghost capitalism? because honestly if i get to the afterlife and there’s ghost capitalism i’m gonna be so fuckin mad

Nat is someone who values her personal space. Miraak without his mask, she’ll tolerate it to a extent.
 With his Mask, she get’s very uneasy due to not being able to read his face. And he knows it.

nat-thedragonborn hah yeah I can definitely see him do that but only with the mask without it I bet he'd be as flustered as nat or as my dovahkiin siltafiir would fail completely at keeping a straight face in that situation miraak skyrim

@petermorwood

Swords from nails are cute: for how-to reference, here’s a video.

And here are some more ex-nails.

This looks like something Terry would have given the Nac mac Feegle. (NB, must glow blue in the presence of lawyers…)

If you want something bigger, there are plenty of photos of handsome knives made from old US railroad spikes…

This one is so well-finished that it looks incomplete without a proper grip; of course a grip would conceal its origin. YMMV. Swings and roundabouts..

Not just knives…

There are even swords (with extra metal added, of course).

There’s an attractive Middle Earth Elvish look to these.

Man that first one is like swords for mice

Guys, gals and pals,

I seriously need money, for transports and food and all the usual stuff. Without going into details, there’s been some shit regarding my insurance company and now I can’t even afford GOING to work (I mean, I can, at the moment, but not for very long :/ ).

My commission prices are listed on my blog (I need to update them, they’re more a general indication of what to expect than fixed prices) if that interests you. They may vary depending on your request.

If you’re not in need of an artist right now it’s perfectly normal, but I’d still appreciate it if you could reblog this.

Thanks in advance <3
