Congrats to Kristin ( Vampire Pam ) Bauer and new hubby
Kristin Bauer who plays 'Pam the Vampire' on True Blood got married this past weekend to her boyfriend musician, Abri van Straten, on her family’s farm in
You can send here best wishes through her website here
Yes, that's right folks. I hunted down a man, chained him to my radiator, or coffee machine, and now that the Stockholm syndrome has finally kicked in, he has actually submitted to marriage...to me! AND he even seems thrilled about it. Here's how it all happened:
Once upoon a time way back on Dec 18, 2008, I was watching another romantically unfulfilling year draw to a close as I dragged my body off to my nutritionist's office to get a B-12 shot hoping that it could make up for all else that was lacking in my Holiday cheer. I entered the waiting room and sat down on something with pointy corners and said, "Ouch!"
I pulled a CD out from under my butt and then said, "Who's is this?" The lady next to me chirped, "It's mine! Wanna hear it?!"I was't in the mood but she turned it up anyway."
And THAT is why there is a page on my website and a ring on my finger. At that very moment, that man serenading me through the strange ladies laptop, was sitting on the other side of LA wondering why the hell he was still here when his tour was done and his band, The Lemmings, had all gone back to South Africa.
I went home from my B-12 shot, bought his latest CD "Imperceptible Shift in the Light" on iTunes and for the next three weeks my entire family fell in love with his voice while I plotted a kidnapping. My devious plot centered around an email to the band's manager that ever so subtly name dropped this little tiny show about Vampires that maybe you've heard of and oh, I do have a website...all sorts Hollywood shenanigans that felt painfully obvious and embarrassing but what's a girl to do? I blame his accent. It really isn't fair!!!

Loving True Blood in Dallas blog helps solve the True Blood FotS church mystery for Arkansas Gazette
When the Arkansas Gazette starts asking me ' Go Ask Dallas' questions then I guess I know I've reached the big time . HA!
I can finally tell you who it was that asked last weeks " Go Ask Dallas" question. It was a question posed by a reporter from The Arkansas Gazette.
Kyle Brazzel knew right away that the structure shown as the Fellowship of the Sun Church in Episode 6 of True Blood was a building designed by famed architect and Arkansas native, Fay Jones -but which one ?
Because the Sookie Stackhouse book series author, Charlaine Harris is also an Arkansas resident, this was an important source of state pride and something they wanted to report on in for the largest newspaper in Arkansas and they wanted to get it right.
Here is where I posted my answer on the blog last week , and this is also what I sent to Kyle. He very nicely mentioned the blog in yesterday's write up in the Little Rock newspaper!

True Blood Sucker Punch: Episode 7 from Mark Blankenship
Our friend Mark Blankenship's episode 7 review on Huffington Post ( hilarious )
Note: This post contains spoilers
Welcome to Sucker Punch, the only blog post that ranks the gaudiest moments on this week's episode of True Blood.
---
(We begin with an argument already in progress)
Are you serious True Blood? Are you really going to spring Godric on me in the last moment of Episode 7 ("Release Me") and then cut to the credits? Don't you realize that I have to wait an entire week to see what happens next? God! Why are you... it's just... selfish!
Oh... hey everyone. Sorry. True Blood and I are having a lovers' quarrel. I mean, we've been dating for a while, and even though he's not the perfect boyfriend---Don't you roll your eyes at me! You're not!---um, anyway, even though he's not the perfect boyfriend, we usually get along great. But then he pulls this crap, where he teases me with things I love---chocolate covered peanuts, flavored seltzer, the long-awaited emergence of a vampire sheriff---and then hides them for days. It's mean, and I hate it. That's why I acted like I forgot his birthday last year.
You heard me! I was pretending I forgot! How did you like it? Wait... what? You're walking away? Where are you... ? I can't leave! I'm talking to these...
Okay. I'll deal with him in a second. Sorry.
The point is, this week's episode had some character inconsistencies, but in the end, it gave me an hour of zippy entertainment.
Like, I have to applaud when Hoyt seduces Jessica by decorating her hotel room with blood-scented candles and playing "Bleeding Love" by Leona Lewis. "Bleeding Love!" Even if Jessica were human, that's the exact song a softie like Hoyt would play for her. But because it mentions blood, he probably thinks cranking it on the stereo makes him extra smooth. Can't you just imagine a rack of "Bleeding Love" CD singles in the vampire hotel gift shop, and Hoyt buying one with a shy little grin? That's exactly who he is.

Vampires in stories and novels from Cleveland Plain Dealer
From Cleveland Plain Dealer-LOVE LOVE book lists. Note #3 and the Dallas hotel name change!
"The Vampyre" (1819): John Polidori's story introducing literature's first great vampire, Lord Ruthven.
"Varney the Vampire" (1847): Featuring vampire Sir Francis Varney, James Malcolm Rymer's penny dreadful was the first vampire novel in English. 
"Carmilla" (1872): The title vampire of Irish writer Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu's story is a woman.
"Dracula" (1897): One of the greatest horror novels of all time, although the name Vlad never appears in the book and Bram Stoker's count looked nothing like Bela Lugosi.
"I Am Legend" (1954): Fantasy legend Richard Matheson consulted scientists and doctors for this novel that provides logical reasons for vampire legends and myths.
"Progeny of the Adder" (1964): Leslie H. Whitten's novel combined a "Dragnet"-like police procedural with the hunt for a vampire terrorizing Washington, D.C.
" 'Salem's Lot" (1975): Stephen King thought if one vampire was scary in "Dracula," a whole town of them would be terrifying for this novel.
"Interview With the Vampire" (1976): Anne Rice creates a literary sensation with the first of her many vampire novels (although the second, "The Vampire Lestat," may be the best of them).
"They Thirst" (1981): Another horrormeister, Robert McCammon, hit the best-seller lists with this novel about a Los Angeles police detective trying to stop a vampire assault.
"The Historian" (2005): Not technically a horror novel, but this book by Elizabeth Kostova created a publishing sensation by blending the folklore around Vlad the Impaler and Stoker's Dracula.
Vampire facts you probably don't know
Did you know . . .
. . . that before German director F.W. Murnau killed the vampire Orlock (Max
Schreck) with the rising sun in his 1922 silent-screen masterpiece, "Nosferatu," sunlight NEVER was fatal to vampires in any myths, legends or even Bram Stoker's 1897 novel "Dracula" -- but after "Nosferatu," it became a near-universal aspect of vampire lore and literature?
. . . that Max Schreck's last name means terror or fright in German, and it was his real name?
. . . that only one actor to play Dracula in a major film, TV or stage production was really named Vlad (Jack Palance -- born Vladimir "Walter Jack" Palahanuik -- in the 1974 TV movie)?
. . . that writer-producer Alan Ball discovered the Sookie Stackhouse novels, the inspiration for his series "True Blood," because he arrived early for a dentist's appointment and decided to kill time at a nearby Barnes & Noble store?
. . . that producer Dan Curtis intended to drive a stake through the heart of "Dark Shadows" vampire Barnabas Collins after actor Jonathan Frid's three-month contract was up, but changed his plans when Barnabas started getting too much fan mail?
. . . that writer Anne Rice loudly protested the idea of Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise starring in director Neil Jordan's film version of her "Interview With the Vampire," saying it was like casting Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer to play vampires Louis and Lestat? (She reversed course after seeing the film.)
. . . that "The Night Stalker," which introduced Darren McGavin as reporter Carl Kolchak in 1972, set the ratings record for TV movies, pulling a staggering 54 share (percentage of TV sets in use during the 90 minutes it aired)?
. . . that Christopher Lee owns the record for playing Dracula on the big screen (nine films as the count and two more with Dracula connections, including the documentary "In Search of Dracula," in which he appeared as the historical Vlad the Impaler)?
. . . that Christopher Lee and Rudolf Martin share the distinction of being the only actors to play both Vlad the Impaler and Count Dracula (Martin in the TV movie "Dark Prince: The True Story of Dracula" and a memorable episode of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer")?
. . . that "nosferatu" is not Romanian (or any other known language) for undead? (Bram Stoker picked up someone else's mistake for "Dracula," and the best etymological guess is that it comes from the Greek word nosphoros for "plague carrier.")
Inspired by: True Blood
I finally got Maud addicted to True Blood. I'm telling you, it took about 6 months of convincing for that to happen, but she got conned into it on my birthday and now she's hooked. So I'm sure she won't mind me doing another post about True Blood. Season 2 just started about 6 weeks ago, and there are a whole new bunch of hair, makeup, and wardrobe ensembles that I'm dying to try. I rounded up a few of my favorites for you guys.
I'm not really feeling the dress here (it's bandana print?!), but I'm in love with the hair! It reminds of that stiff, Grace Kelly inspired swoop that Kate Winslet did for the Oscars, but I love it so much more here. I think the softness of the curls at the bottom balances out the structure at the crown perfectly, and the flowers pinning back the side are just too cute. The red lip keeps it a little retro, but the dramatic liner stops it from looking costumey.

‘True Blood’ improves the drama and the sex
from Kansas City.com
SAN DIEGO | Let the record show that Hollywood’s vampire obsession reached its inevitable point of convergence at the Comic-Con International show last weekend.
During a panel with the cast of HBO’s “True Blood,” a young woman in the audience asked the show’s producer, Alan Ball, if “we could expect a half-human, half-vampire baby on the show.”
To his everlasting credit, Ball looked like he didn’t know what she was talking about. Then the audience called out, “Twilight! Twilight!”
Someone on the dais explained to Ball that it was a reference to 
“No,” he declared. Loud cheers followed.
Well, you can’t blame a girl for asking.
After a mostly blood-soaked first season, “True Blood’s” second season has provided the sexual release viewers were expecting all along. This, in turn, has raised the stakes for everybody involved in the fangbangers-in-the-bayou drama ... and made the show a lot more interesting.
Indeed, judging from all the nuttiness going on in Season 2, a hybrid Dracu-baby is one of the few options Ball seems to have ruled out.
'True Blood,' win Television Television Critics Assocation Outstanding New Program award
The 200-plus members of the Television Critics Assocation celebrated its 25th anniversary of award-giving by handing them to shows including Battlestar Galactica (Program of the Year), True Blood (Outstanding New Program), and The Big Bang Theory (Outstanding Achievement in Comedy).
