Another BcB favorite, TMM, has decided to go film school on us and do a YouTube channel. He needs help though, so we’re helping him reach out to all y’all. He’s looking for the following folks, Midwest and Worldwide:
1 Lead Actor (Asian American/Canadian male in Midwest) 2 Dedicated Supporting Actors (Midwest) 3 Writers / Storyline Editors (All locations) 1 Lead Producer (Midwest) 1 Film/Video Editor (All locations)
Don’t ask me how I find these YouTube “celebrities”, and I’m sorry in advance if this is old hat (cause she was on NBC’s Today Show during the Beijing Olympics). But I had to give Su Fei, aka Anna Sophie Loewenberg, some attention cause she’s a cross between Sarah Jessica Parker and ex-MTV VJ Kennedy (with her Dame Edna glasses). She hosts an internet show called SexyBeijing, at www.sexybeijing.tv (a play on the Sex in the City theme) where she interviews Chinese folks on the street about their sex and love life. Pretty daring consider she’s a White American girl, except she’s speaking Mando (can my Mandarin speakers chime in on how good her accent is?). By the way, she’s single and looking for a Chinese man, as you can see in the video below. Hey, if my Chosen brothers in NYC can date Asian chicks, why can’t the Yellow Man be Chosen in China!?
Here’s a tongue in cheek YouTube “tribute” to Oakland. I can’t tell if these white folx live in Oakland and wanted to do an ironic tribute to Oakland or if they live in SF and wanted to a realistic portrayal of Oakland with an ironic twist. You tell me… And by the way, I WILL cut you if you say Little Star is better than Zachary’s.
aZnHeartThrob is always on the look out for the next ex-Mrs. Throb. And I think I’ve found her: Southern Belle, Michelle Phan, aka Ricebunny.
Ricebunny, you provide the world much needed make-up advice on your own YouTube Page:
You rock Batman t-shirts and play Street Fighter Third Strike and talk about unlocking characters on SFIV. You listen to OM Records artists like Samantha James (you Floridians love you them OM Records loungey ish don’t cha?) and have an oh-so soothing voice with a slight Yiet-na-mee accent that comes out when you use terms like “whispy”. But, alas, you’re ex-wifey material cause you still rock the Ed Hardy look (dammnit girl, purple does not go well with eagle or gold chain!):
Christian Audigier ruins lives.
and the Jesus Love (yes, I went to her MySpace page and found this. I admit it):
Jesus holding Baby Jesus? This somehow reminds me of the always complicated time shifting John Connor plot lines in any of the Terminator films.
Its gonna be hard as hell to write a review of a book like this without spoilers. So let me just say this book has gently nestled its way into my Murakami top 3, just under Wind Up Bird Chronicles and barely inching above Norwegian Wood. This means a lot cause I'm a fanatic over his ish and spend way too much money on multiple copies of his books... If you're a veteran Murakami reader, you'll love how long this book is. More time before the Murakami-withdrawal hits. You'll also like hearing from a female protagonist for the first time. If this is your first Murakami book, I'd read one of his books with less magical realism first, After Dark or Kafka on the Shore then move up to 1Q84 about 3-4 books later. Also, you might wanna buy the digital version (although the US hardcopy is a sight to behold) cause this book be phat!
