What's funny is

I am collecting things I wanna do when I get home. The Wild West/Steampunk Con @ Old Tucson Studio on the 4th of March, the Tucson



Festival of Books, especially the Juliet Blackwell and Cara Black's workshops.

Good times!

Nothing to say, but a lot of time to say it

Joined this new LJ community - holmesverse - where I get to tell the evil Moftiss how they can redeem Sherlock after they fucked up and introduced Moriarty. They should have the world's greatest detective DETECT Moriarty! Sheesh.

So anyway. The writing challenge was to write a teleplay of The Next Five Minutes after that loser cliff hanger.

On the off chance anyone's reading this, read that. Brilliant!

'Allo Mate!

This is where I (hope) I'm going on March 4th:



I've bought a ticket, but who knows what I'll do that day: I'm too fat, to bothered by other humans, to lazy, too jet lagged. I got a million of 'em.

Onnagata

An entity on LJ (after all, even with names we're still anonymous) edited out information about onnagata in connection with the picture I posted there (previous entry here).

Very odd, her (his?) repeated claims it's not him. Thi translation is from the Urban Dictionary. The key to the mystery may here be:

An onnagata is a Japanese term for a female impersonator.

Onnagata also refers to male kabuki characters who played female parts.
From the medieval period to the 19th century in Japan, various men practised shudo, which is age-structured homosexuality. Because of this, many onnagata moonlighted as prostitutes.

Today, shonen-ai and yaoi are existing types of male homosexuality.
Nanshoku, or "the love of the samurai", may center on a relationship between a samurai and an onnagata.

Have I totally lost it?

Does this look like Benedict (Sherlock) Cumberbatch in Kabuki make-up?

It's from Burlesque Fairytales on this site: http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMjA2NTc2OTMy.html

Or am I losing it?

Humbug!
