Yo tentopet!

[telophase]

We have achieved cardboard stand-up thingy!



We have also achieved crappy phone photo!

(For those going "Huh?", tentopet is Amy Reeder Hadley, writer and artist of Fool's Gold, which is out this month, and the cardboard stand-up thingy is two characters from her book.)

that icon grabs my head every time you use it. I am, apparently, a sucker for the shakey-shakey.

And at the moment, the icon shakey is synchronized with "Bittersweet symphony" on the radio, which makes it even better.

issue at hand: what is that icon from?

heh, it'd help if I had read the icon description. disregard...

No prob. XD

Heehee. :D It's from the Bollywood extravaganza Asoka, a pseudohistorical biopic about the 3rd century BC conqueror Ashoka. And this being Bollywood, which cannot make a movie without having singing and dancing in it, a 3rd century BC nightclub where the above woman is shimmying.

as much as I absolutely hate musicals, and by extension, Bollywood movies, this one is strangely appealing. If all the songs were set to shimmying girls, I might go for it.

hmm.

The songs are sort of shoehorned in to where there might naturally be singing - a nightclub, a village festival, etc. You don't get the main characters suddenly leaping into singing about their feelings or whatnot.

The first song is set to a girl in a bandeau top who jumps into water. :D

And it's actually in the closest you get to good place over in the manga ghetto in that store - on the side of the manga section next to Entertainment and Fiction. There's a Bizenghast stand-up thingy too, but it's been exiled to stand on the side next to the bathrooms.

Both of which places are better than the other place they like to put stand-up thingys, which is on the end of the SF shelves that faces the YA book, thus ensuring that the only people who see them are the one's who accidentally back into them when trying to see the bottom shelf of YA.

They also aren't too cluefu; when it comes to teh manga audience - the manga section occupies the two tallest bookshelves in the store. I can't reach the top shelf at all (5'2") - I don't know what the kids who are shorter than me do short of climbing up the shelves.
