Please ignore the lady, she's neither Rachel York nor Christine Andreas, who were brilliant, I think she's one of the early tour cast. BUT LORD. This was my first obsession. Douglas Sills as Percy in the Scarlet Pimpernel. Listen to his "She Was There"... *swoooooon ( Read more... )

So I spent most of last night after work watching and listening to the WWDC Keynote video, whilst I marked and cut cloth for cosplay. So many things that Apple announced yesterday excited me, I turned right back into a gushing apple fangirl. :D ( Read more... )

This is amusing. I found this on Youtube, taken by another fan, but yes, at about 0:14 you can see badapplebettie and... me(!! haha!) giving our presents to Benedict Cumberbatch. You can also see clare_nce and theanniemal and randomerican and crimsonbride around us.
