Though I hear tell that she has balls and was once a boy. (And yes, that IS Karen Walker aka Megan Mullally, from Will and Grace.)
Oh, Karen Walker! I hate you for making me watch Will and Grace, but I love you for being so damned sexy that I actually stop thinking about Brandon Routh/Lee Pace for ten seconds, just to imagine giving you a little kiss goodnight like Grace does.
And then gnawing on your mighty fine ass, like Jack does.
P.S. I am now hunkered down in the writing bunker, trying to get every single story that was ever in my head down on paper before April 6th, my deadline. So if I seemed to have died, Bertha, please don't call the authorities. You can come around and poke me with a stick after I've lobbed my ball of words at Adam Nevill.
Karen Walker? That is an original one!
ReplyDeleteI used to fancy both Will and Grace until it slowly dawned on me what vile characters they actually were. Her in particular. I still have the hots for her (ex) husband, the doctor.
Her voice brings me out in hives. Can't say she tickles my turnips in a faux-lesbionic way. Carla Gugino on the other hand. Swit swooo.
ReplyDeleteNot huge or the Routh m'self but he seems like a nice enough fellow. The rumours that he may have had to boing Mr Singer to be a super kind of man, *wink wink* are interesting LOLZ.
And peanut butter - how can anyone like that. :)
I can't go for Karen - it's the voice! I do have a large number of womancrushes, though, none of whom seem to have anything in common at all.
ReplyDeleteJanine- you're not wrong. I never used to watch W&G because they came across so damned vile. Over time, tho, I have started to kind of admire the fact that a major US sitcom had such vile central characters. Almost as though the writers snuck it by the execs- ha! Look how evil they are and you don't even realise it!
ReplyDeleteBut Karen...Karen is different. She knows she's vile and does. Not. Care. Yeah- I can get on board with that.
And Sefi and Justine- the voice is a marmite/peanut butter thing fo sho. She grew on me, like a wart. My womancrushes are often as mad as my mancrushes, tho, which grow like warts just the same. One second I hate Topher Grace, the next: BAM!
Just sent my proofs to Adam, BTW. How 'bout you guys- you got them in on time? No probs?
I sent mine in the day I got them. Because I am a girly swot.
ReplyDeleteYou apple polisher!
ReplyDeleteHa- what am I saying. I came within a gnat's whisker of doing exactly the same thing, cos it's like ripping off a plaster. If you do it fast, you don't have to feel too much pain or fret too much. But then I got called away two pages from the end, and lost my bottle. Eight million stories then distracted me, and here I am: the bad egg.
P.S. Your story was tough as nails, bebes! Clean, smooth, steely nails- loved it. Plus main character has my almost name! Always like it when that happens.
I'd say I was thinking of you when I wrote it, but it's at least a year old...Thanks! I've yet to read the other SLNs - I'm waiting to finish my stories, because I tend to get overawed by other people's writing and spend hours rocking in a corner moping about how rubbish I am.
ReplyDeleteRocking and moping scheduled for next month!
Dearest CS - I find it funny that you - a sweet natured and clean-living gal (albeit with an acid wit and erotica habit) - could love such a bitchy lush as Karen Walker. It's kind of awesome that you do though. Heck - if I had money and time like KW, I'd be mean and not care and wear excellent outfits. I'd make a wish to have her bosoms as well but i do not needed too - BOOOM!!! hehe.
ReplyDeleteIf the show was called 'Jack and Karen' - i'd like it a lot more. Actually - the thing that puts me off 'Will and Grace' are the characters of 'Will and Grace'. And my helium voiced chick of choice is teh Cheno.
I don't know what proofs are but best of luck to all the lovely authoresses! :)
Sorry I haven't replied in a while- but obvious reasons.
ReplyDeleteJustine- I'd say don't be daft, but I know how you feel. Madelynne Ellis' story is like the better version of mine. I suck, etc. But I do find that reading stories better than mine pushes me to be better.
And Sef- I always find myself liking horrid characters! Especially women who have the guts to be tough onscreen. I like that food critic- Kate Spicer- because she's cold and sour and evoool.
Chenoweth is a sweetheart, though. I like sweethearts, too!
Oh, and proofs are just when the editor/copyeditor has looked over your stuff and made corrections, and then you go over it and check it, too. Far easier with Black Lace than I ever thought it would be- no red pen, no massive alterations. If it needs a bigger fix, ed. usually just emails and sees what we can do. Or at least, that's been my experience so far.
