How to dress like Sookie Stackhouse from True Blood !

What a great post !

I don’t know about you guys, but I’m super-psyched for Season 3 of the HBO series True Blood. (The many emails we’ve received requesting an article on the show makes me think you probably are, too!) The show always keeps me on the edge of my seat and has something for everyone– action, romance, comedy and of course, plenty of vampires!

For those who are unfamiliar with the premise of the show, it goes like this: vampires have made their existence known to humans worldwide. The series centers on the town of Bon Temps, Louisiana and Sookie Stackhouse, a waitress with telepathic powers.

Even though she’s a small town girl, Sookie (played by Anna Paquin) has an enviable wardrobe for every occasion– whether she’s serving drinks at Merlotte’s or winning the heart of a vampire named Bill.

So to tide you over until the season premiere on June 13th, here’s how to add some Sookie Stackhouse style to your wardrobe:

Terry's tshirt 'beaucoup dien cai dau'= crazy in the head

Speaking of t-shirts we also had found Terry last night wearing a t-shirt that reads 'beaucoup dien cai dau' it goes on to read:

I suffer from occasional loss of mental stability, and become very violent with only slight provocation. The Veterans Administration has determined that both mental and physical harassment of my person may be hazardous to your health and well being. So stay out of my face.

I can only find mention of this phrase at on right wing gun sites.
I'm sure there will be zazzle / cafe press version today!

** NOTE Terry wears the same shirt ealrier in the series - here is is wearing in S2 Ep 4

According to the Urban Dictionary:

boocoo

"boocoo" is the illiterate Americanized version of the French adverb "beaucoup" meaning much or many, that was used in Vietnam.

An expression commonly used in Vietnam was, "boocoo dinky dow", spelled correctly would be "beaucoup dien cai dau" meaning much crazy in the head or perhaps as the Vietnamese may have said, crazy as a kicking rooster, much like the American expression, "mad as a wet hen".
dien = crazy dau = head and captalized Dau = rooster



Also remember in the books Terry is a veteran of the Viet Nam War.

** Terry is also seen wearing this same tshirt earlier in the season here he is in Episode 4.

Appearance on HBO's ‘True Blood' sparks run on Mullet Festival T-shirts

All it takes is one celebrity wearing a piece of clothing to make it cool.

Fish and festivals aren’t the reason people are clamoring to purchase replica Boggy Bayou Mullet Festival T-shirts online. A faded, vintage T-shirt that appeared on HBO’s "True Blood" series has sparked a new trend.

In the third episode of the hit show’s second season, shape-shifter and bar owner Sam Merlotte sported a faded "Third Annual Boggy Bayou Mullet Festival" shirt.

While many CafePress and other design-your-own clothing sites sell the shirts for more than $20, locals have been able to buy the now-hot commodity for 33 years this October.

"I look back now at all those shirts I had and wish I had kept every one of them," said Niceville City Manager Lanny Corbin.

Corbin said he got phone calls and e-mails from friends as soon as they saw the shirt on HBO. A Mullet Festival T-shirt also has appeared on the CBS comedy "How I Met Your Mother."

Fashion & Costuming: Interview with Costume Designer Audrey Fisher

from Fashionably Marketing

This past year, I had the pleasure of working with Audrey Fisher, costume designer for HBO’s True Blood. As someone who loves fashion, I thought costuming would be closely aligned with the ever revolving door of fashion trends and style as they exist now and in the future. What I found was quite the contrary; costume design and fashion are quite different. Fashion is mask, it tells the story that it’s creator want to tell the world, while costume design goes below the surface to tell an inner story.

Audrey, how did you become a costume designer? What was your inspiration or the force that drove the passion?

From a very young age, I was always making costumes for myself, my friends, and my family. My path to costume design, however, was roundabout. In college, I had actually started toward a career in the literary department of theater studies, but in my extremely academic graduate program I found I was still making costumes in my spare time. It was all connected: I was interested in the way costumes could tell stories. Based on some hats I was making for an art class, a director asked me to design the costumes for her production of Medea at a downtown theater. That’s when costumes became my professional passion, with that first off-off-off-broadway show.
