Maniac Live Web Show — 05/31/2012
This is the best. Everyone needs to listen.
Hoping I can find some way to rip the video because that makes it even better.
Everything is Shake snuggling together on a couch and freaking out interviewers and nothing hurts.
The groupthink mentality of many tumblr fandoms kind of scares me.
Like…
“These are the things we like and these are our favorite characters and our favorite pairings and these are the jokes we think are hilarious and the opinions we agree with, and if you feel differently about any of this, you’re most likely wrong and should just post your views anonymously as ‘confessions’ or ‘unpopular opinions’ so that we can all laugh at you and tell everyone why you’re wrong without having to out yourself as a bad fan.”
Since when was there a correct way to enjoy anything?
Also, the whole concept of defining yourself as a person by the fandoms you associate with is really strange to me.
Reminder: today is the last day to order a custom-drawn shirt from Maniac!
Also, we would love it if anyone who ordered one sends in a photo when they receive it!
Just ordered mine, asked them to do something with harlequin and pierrot clowns. Exciteddddd.
The above article is an update. Her mother went to appeal to keep her out of the psychiatric ward and lost. She will be institutionalized because of her expression of her gender. She will be held until she conforms to male gender and then released to foster care, not her mother who was supporting her.
Please, if you haven’t signed the petition, sign it, reblog it, ask your friends to sign it. We’ve managed to get 40K signatures for a pageant model, we’ve only gotten 11K for a little girl about to have her life ruined. Lets get on the ball and spread the word.
I literally just repeated the f-word until I ran out of breath.
Let me catch my breath. I may go on a cursing spree again as soon as I get it back.
Seriously people…
WHY THE FUCK AREN’T PEOPLE REBLOGGING THIS?
Can not wrap my brain around this. Not one single person reading this has any excuse to skip over this. You’re reading tumblr, you have time.
Turns out that (A)sexual was pirated and leaked onto youtube by an outside source, and the creator of the film isn’t too happy about it.
If you’d like to watch the film now from the video I just posted, I’d really suggest giving something at the filmmaker’s donation page.
Otherwise, the actual release information for the film is here, and according to that you’ll just be waiting a few more days, because it will be officially distributed through various sources on June 5th!
Not sure where you could find a tutorial, I learned how to sew sequins as a combination of taking embellishment classes, and just looking at sequined garments to see how they were made. (repairing drag queen and showgirl costumes for 4 months proved to be very useful in that regard) There are quite a few techniques depending on the desired texture, but the one I’m currently using is sewn on both sides of the sequin so that it’s as flat as possible. I drew a diagram of what I’m doing (which hopefully makes sense….it’s currently 3:30am)…the black is the fabric, the blue is the sequins, and the red is the thread. In the top image, I’ve numbered the sequence of the path the thread will be taking. Let me know if you have any other questions!
