fembuckShallow viewing reading (in addition to the ghey) is one of the reasons I love these books so far.
Dina Meyer (Oh, I know she's too old for the role now. But ten years ago she would have been perfect! Perfect! Sassy, sexy, athletic, green eyes, red curly hair, able to generate heat with a potted plant ... Mm, Dachel Meyorgan):
OR
Christina Hendricks ... and yes I realize that her rack is far far far far far far too amazing for life let alone Rachel, but whatever. WHAT. EVER.
Maggie Q:
OR
Like Mylene Jampanoi:
OR if M. Night Shyamalan was casting it ... she'd probably look like Katie McGrath ...
How could I resist?
... what's that you say? This post is nothing but an excuse to post pictures of Dina Meyer, Maggie Q, Christina Hendricks, Mylene Jampanoi, and Katie McGrath. Well ... uh ... you're right. So what? *picspam picspam picspam*

lol, I know. I lost whatever respect I still had for him after I saw "The Happening". The Avatar casting, has just lowered him to the level where I shake my head when I hear his name and wrinkle my nose like I spell rabbit pellets. The casting for that movie is fucking ridiculous. Jesse McCartney???? I mean, really? I cannot be impossible to find a male and female Inuit actors, and an Asian boy who knows Wushu or something. I mean honestly, I don't even mind if like Zuku (and therefore Azula and Iro, etc.) were white. It's like, just not the whole cast, dude! Not the whole cast!!!

Date: 2009-01-08 05:07 am (UTC)I especially approve of all the Katie McGrath pics where she's all 'look at me, you think I'm all delicate flower virginal right before I throw you to the floor, rip off your clothes and have my way with you!'!
Oh and I have no idea who this Mylene Jampanoi is but she (and all the other women in your picspam) needs to get into my pants RIGHT NOW!!
It's like, just not the whole cast, dude! Not the whole cast!!!
Dude, I knew nothing about Avatar before this flap started but even with the little I know, the whitewashing of the cast sends me into A CAPSLOCKING RAGE! I mean Jesse McCartney? JESSE FUCKING McCARTNEY!?! Playing one of *the* most asian looking characters of the show!?! WTF people! WHAT THE FUCK!?!

Date: 2009-01-08 03:52 am (UTC)Great minds! Dina Meyer is really PERFECT for Rachel. Just everything about her fits perfectly with the character.
mmm Maggie Q looks very interesting
I really like Maggie as a visual image for Ivy. Ivy's described as having "somewhat Oriental features" (that description cracks me up for some reason) and Maggie's half-Chinese/half-white which fits. She got the cinnamon brown, almond eyes, and this kind of timeless grace to her. Not to mention she gorgeous. Plus, after seeing Live Free, Die Hard (or whatever the last Die Hard movie was called), Maggie can be fucking fierce too. Like she was a brawler in that major fight scene she had with Willis, so I could totally picture her working the physical threat of aura!Ivy and manhandling!Ivy (both incarnations of Ivy that I am extremely fond of, lol)

Date: 2009-01-08 11:53 pm (UTC)Oh, I know! It's awesome. Damn, if only it could be. Seriously, I wouldn't give a shit if they aged Rachel a few years so Dina could STILL play her. Dina's aging like a fine wine, ain't nobody gonna complain about that casting.
after seeing that youtube clip you linked, i can totally picture Maggie Q as Ivy now.
She's totally badass in Live Free or Die Hard. There's this absolutely insane fight scene she has with Bruce Willis that will ruin your panties it's so hot. It's Ivy and her bitchy vampiest best. Here's a link to part of it:
http://www.clevver.com/movies/video/21927/live-free-or-die-hard-video-clip-maggie-q.html
i'd've gone to see Mission Impossible 3 in the cinema. as it is, i have to hunt it down now; it's so gay!
The gay in the video I linked to comes from Naked Weapon (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0341495/), I think. It's definitely not from MI:3 (much to my disappointment since I've seen MI:3). I'm going to watch Naked Weapon as soon as possible though.
i don't know Mylene but she looks interesting as well
I've only seen her in Les Filles du botaniste (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0425985/), but she was good in it, and excellent at bringing the gay. She's French though (I'm not even sure if she knows English), so Ivy would have a really sexy accent (which I wouldn't complain about!).
in book 5, Ivy's described as looking like a construction worker's calendar girl lol.
Nice!
I'm about halfway through book 2 now, and it's so incredibly gay. I'm so happy. I just got through the scene where Ivy asked Rachel to be her scion, and omg it was so wrong yet so hot. And I know Nick turns out to be a major douche (though not why) but it cracked me up how he like totally expected Rachel to pick Ivy over him. It's like, "Dude are you her rival, or her publicist. Talk her up more dude, and you'll be sleeping alone tonight." I'm with him though, I'm bewildered as to how Rachel managed to resist. Ivy's confused "No?" after Rachel said it cracked me up too. You know that girl doesn't get turned

Date: 2009-01-09 01:17 am (UTC)Amen!
not only that but my nose bled. :P
huh. the youtube description mentioned MI:3 so that's what i thought. i shall have to see if i can find Naked Weapon too.
O.O oh my, how interesting! must see this movie. it amuses me that her alternate name is Lena (love Lena Headey!).
imagine Maggie Q with fangs and her pupils eclipsing the brown and pinning Dina Meyer to the wall... mmmm! Ivy does this in just about every book :D
oh i know! that's why i love this series so much. i've not read fantasy books that are this textually/subtextually gay. yes, i know i'm deprived.
i sure wouldn't turn her down. :D
Maggie Q's Naked Weapon, heh
Date: 2009-01-10 08:33 am (UTC)Naked Weapon (2002) download (hxxp://www.megaupload.com/?d=7Q804NJZ) (change xx to tt)
For your viewing pleasure :D

This is a very, very pleasing image. Very very pleasing. *I'll be in my bunk*
i sure wouldn't turn her down
This equals truth. Just furthers my theory that Rachel is really not that bright, lol. OMG, I wanted to slap her so much when I was reading the scene where she was trapsing all over the crime scene at Kalamack's estate. It's like, "Rachel, dude. You're funny and kickass but sometimes you are really not that smart and hella annoying". Rachel and Ivy really are suited for each other, they're probably the only people who can put up with the others bullshit! They've gotta hook up!
Re: Maggie Q's Naked Weapon, heh
Date: 2009-01-10 10:43 am (UTC)so true! i totally agree! sometimes i wanna smack Rachel upside the head. she herself admits Ivy's kiss is a "pulse-pounding, hell-of-a-kiss" and she likes the blood sharing but she overanalyses everything and doesn't do anything about it. argh! with men, she's like, oh he's dangerous, he's cute, let's bang him *rolls eyes*.
Re: Maggie Q's Naked Weapon, heh
Date: 2009-01-11 08:12 pm (UTC)I know! That scene was so awesome. And totally secured Katt as one of the dreamiest women on film. Best. Girlfriend. Ever.
and some disturbing scenes,
That rape scene was totally unnecessary (and didn't fit the tone of the film at all). I mean, there are so many things wrong with this movie, but this is the only thing that actually really pissed me off about it.

This! OMG, THIS! I just finished book two in it, and after Ivy hits on her in the sancutary after sparring, Rachel goes on this big long rant about how Ivy's actions were about need for her blood, but it WASN'T sexual. And then a little while later, she says that the way Kisten effected her was the SAME as how Ivy affected her, only with him she tried to jump his bones! UGH! It's like everyone in the freaking world can see her attraction to Ivy, except for her. Even freaking Ceri who was a demon puppet for a thousand years figured out Rachel and Ivy's deal within minutes of meeting them. *sigh* This series is gonna be constant frustration for me.
oh he's dangerous, he's cute, let's bang him *rolls eyes*.
I know. So annoying. It's like, Ivy is the ultimate badgirl. If Rachel is turned on by danger, she should be creaming herself around Ivy. Also, if she gets off on being dominant she should also be creaming herself around Ivy, because Ivy submits to her wishes all the time. It's like, Rachel goes on about "maybe being able to handle a submissive vampire (re: Kisten)", but IVY IS SUBMISSIVE WITH HER TOO. Once again, another character even notes that Rachel is the dominant one, and Rachel constantly uses this fact to calm Ivy down. DOUBLE UGH!
I guess I also just don't understand Rachel's internal gay panic. It's like she's 24, not 44. She should be learning new things about herself all the time. Also, she'll seems to be willing to sleep with anything (human, vampire, elf, she even checked out Jenks for Tink's sake!) so I can't concieve of how being attracted to a woman would freak her out. It's like she's a demon familiar, people are trying to kill her all the time, but liking girl kisses is scary for her???? UGH.
Whatever. I'm still gonna keep reading. I'm a glutton for punishment (no wonder I like Ivy so much)
Re: Maggie Q's Naked Weapon, heh
Date: 2009-01-11 11:29 pm (UTC)yes! and that scene in Spain where she and Charlene were talking just before Charlene went into the wall and the bad guys broke in, i was so chanting "Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!" but they didn't. so disappointed, that was a kissing moment for sure.
damn right! i was clenching my fists and swearing!
absolutely! people keep telling her that lol. wait til you get to book 4 and 5. more frustration and sweetly tolerable for now and it's so good for plot bunnies. :D
shit, yeah! she even have thoughts of Ivy and her kiss creeping in while having sex with Kisten! (ok, total spoiler but um you don't mind right?) everyone keeps telling her she loves Ivy. and it's not like Ivy can't attach a strap-on :P not that she'll need one. hmmm Maggie Q with a strap-on... ok, i have thoroughly distracted myself...
Re: Maggie Q's Naked Weapon, heh
Date: 2009-01-12 10:28 pm (UTC)That was so a "kiss! kiss!" moment. Watching this movie was like watching "Alexander" for me, with all of the hugs substituting for actual kissing/sexual content. It was frustrating in that, and it was frustrating here.
wait til you get to book 4 and 5. more frustration and sweetly tolerable for now and it's so good for plot bunnies. :D
I'm enjoying things as they're going now. Do you know if the book coming out in Feburary is the last one in the series? If so I'm gonna have to step up my reading, because I don't want to get spoiled (especially if it's not news on the Ivy/Rachel front) and not finish the series.
But, yeah. These two definitely provide a lot of jumping off spots for fanfic.
she even have thoughts of Ivy and her kiss creeping in while having sex with Kisten! (ok, total spoiler but um you don't mind right?)
DUDE THAT IS SO GAY! Jesus, Rachel. When you're having fantasies about chicks in the middle of sex, that's a SIGN! Don't worry about the spoiler, I knew they were going to do it. Knowing that Rache has thoughts of Ivy will get me through the scene, lol.
and it's not like Ivy can't attach a strap-on :P not that she'll need one. hmmm Maggie Q with a strap-on... ok, i have thoroughly distracted myself...
Yourself and me! Goddamn, woman. Strap-on!Ivy would be the hottest shit ever. You know she has one to! She totally does! And "Maggie Q with a strap-on" has got to be one of the best sentences ever written. I ... I'll be in my bunk.
Goddamn!
Re: Maggie Q's Naked Weapon, heh
Date: 2009-01-13 03:47 am (UTC)No idea. If Kim's gonna finish it, then I hope it's with Rachel and Ivy getting together and Rachel somehow figuring out how to let Ivy keep her soul after she dies.
LOL Amen! I was in my bunk but I think a return trip is required... >.> <.

Date: 2009-01-08 08:52 pm (UTC)I love how many people were picturing Dina! She really is just perfect for the role though. She looks AMAZING as a redhead, she's got green eyes, she's athletic as fuck, she's fucking fierce, and her delivery of sly lines is always panty-dampeningly awesome.
Hadn't thought of Maggie Q, but damn, those pics up there are insanely convincing.
I'm glad you like the choice. Actually, I was just watching some clips again from Live Free, Die Hard (or whatever that movie is called) and I'm really getting attached to the idea of Ivy. She can be scary as fuck, and she's got that badass ninja stuff working for her, but she can also look angelically beautiful and tender and vulnerable as well.

Good picks. Younger Dina + Maggie/Mylene I would say.
no subject
Date: 2009-01-08 08:21 pm (UTC)lol, I didn't figure anyone would mind! Also, for no other reason than the fact that she is smoking hot, I present you ... Christina Hendricks fabulous as:
Younger Dina
Younger Dina IS my Rachel. Everything just fits (plus, I just like thinking about Dina Meyer in general. It's satisfying, lol)
Maggie/Mylene I would say.
I'm waffling back and forth on these two right now. I can't decide which one I like better for Ivy, although today I seem to be leaning towards Mylene - I like her fierceness.

Date: 2009-01-08 08:46 pm (UTC)I've only seen her in the film "Les Filles Du Botaniste" (a.k.a. The Chinese Botonist's Daughter). But she was quite mesmerizing in it, and she played gay in it and is able to generate lots of chemistry with ladies, which is perfect for Ivy. Plus, she's hot, lol.
ghey and hot vampires
Recipe for success!
and don't even get me started on BoP.
Oh, I know. Love BoP, love it. Dina was the hottest Barbara Gordon on the planet. She was unbelievably sexy as Barbara. BoP is what started my obsession with her.
the people seconding Mylene. She has the edge that would work well for Ivy.
Yeah, I'm leaning toward Mylene myself. Even in pictures she seems kind of dangerous.
[Error: unknown template video=]
Maggie Q can be pretty fucking fierce as well though (ignore the song, concentrate on the gay badassery).
Christina Hendricks is hella fine but she will always be YoSaffBridg from Firefly to me :)
LOL, yeah. I know. I actually made a joke about that but LJ ate it and then I forgot to retype it. Oh, YoSaffBridg, you sexy conniving, flirting with Inara whore! I love you!
Actually, it's really funny, thinking about this list I've posted everyone one of these woman has kissed another on screen! I didn't even realize how gay the list was (Maggie Q I only just learned had through that Youtube clip). Crazy. But it'd make them all awesome for Rachel and Ivy.

It's like, I'm sorry, but everything about Avatar SCREAMS Asian, from the clothes, to the people, to the apparently not so blatant use of the Chinese language in the header as well as the writing form of the world in general.
It's like people trying to make the argument that Goku from Dragonball live action movie is casted fine, because Goku is an alien. We won't even begin with the fact that if you want to follow that shit, then Goku should be like, six years old. Whatevs man, what.evs.
no subject
Date: 2009-01-11 08:15 pm (UTC)Word. To everything said here. The casting for The Avatar movie is ridiculous. And insulting. And so so very stupid. Avatar is hugely popular, people will go see the movie with an ethnic cast. UGH! UGH!

Date: 2009-01-11 08:19 pm (UTC)I know! Like Maggie is pretty in pictures, but on screen she is mesmerizingly gorgeous.
I seriously think I'm going to start reading these books, just so I can picture Maggie Q being a badass vampire, because lately there just hasn't been enough Maggie Q.
I'd recommend the books, I think they are pretty good and Ivy is wicked character (made even more so by picturing Maggie Q all the time)
Oh and I started watching Merlin, so I definitely enjoyed the Katie pictures
Do you like it? I'm completely charmed by that show. Also, if you do read The Hollows series, I totally picture Bradley James (aka Arthur) as Kisten. And there can never be too many Katie McGrath pictures. In fact, I need more! More! This is like that horrible period of time in an actors career where you want them to get more roles so you can see them more, but then a couple years later when it actually happens, you wish they would go back to obscurity because you are over saturated by them. I want more Katie, and yet I don't. *sigh*
