You don't have to love Absinthe (I think it's lost it's luster since it was legalized in the States, and I read Madonna & Demi Moore drank it at a party, which makes it less "cool" to me), but with my "Moulin Rouge!" screen name, I might as well have a MR! channel. So, these are just slide shows of people I like. I spend hours working of them and choosing great songs, which I hate having to replace. And I always try to make em my own, so check out after the credits, cause I fill up time for the whole song. (I would have 35 videos, but 13 were taken down due to copyright laws and content, all my Bettie Page videos, full body shots, were removed due to "inappropiate content." I also removed a couple myself. YouTube isn't as much fun as it used to be. I'm very sorry about this. But never fear. I am a creative soul, and can still post Bettie themed shows, just without the fun shots.
About Me:
 
I'm a college girl in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, majoring in performing and playwriting. I am also a member of a very unique performance troupe here in Brew City, but I will add more on that later. (I'll be performing under a stage name and persona.) I have been visiting YouTube since January 2006, but finally joined a few weeks later. So, my fav colors are purple and black, which I set my scheme to. There is also that whole Bettie Page background in with the colors, and that is cause she is an idol of mine. (I have a few) I am also a huge fan of the great Theda Bara, the original vamp. I base my look on her, or at least try to. I could be described as dark and negative, not a happy person. But I'm not depressed. Far from it. More the "moody artist," as I've been called. I laugh easily, have a sense of humor, and am a relatively sweet person. I'm artsy and creative. I'm just into different things, and I hate normal. Tis boring, don't you think? I'm weird, and proud. I love music, dancing, movies (old ones), art, books, writing, and other crap I dont feel like listing. I dislike a bit too, mainstream stuffs, really sunny days, bright things, Twitter and social networking sites in general really, and more that I once again do not feel like listing.
Country:
United States
Occupation:
Student/Performer/Writer/Dramaturg
Movies:
MOVIES: Moulin Rouge! (fav movie), Babyface, A Fool There Was, Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror, The Notorious Bettie Page, the Thin Man series, Queen Of The Damned, Cabaret, Life Of Brian, Monty Python and The Holy Grail, Airplane, Clue, LOTR, POTC, and silents! Silent movies are the best. I have so many I love I can't list them all. Movies just aren't as good as they used to be. SHOWS (in no order): SNL, The Mighty Boosh, Monty Python's Flying Circus , Late Night With Conan O' Brien, Spongebob Squarepants, The Beverly Hillbillies, I Dream Of Jeannie, I Love Lucy, Gilligan's Island, Fairly Odd Parents, Family Guy (not as good as it used to be though), Chappelle's Show, The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, Laverne and Shirley, Mama's Family, Sabrina, The Teenage Witch, The Wayans Bros., and Freakazoid. (Oh, and my fav actresses are Theda Bara, Clara Bow, Myrna Loy, Barbara Stanwyck, and Louise Brooks. As for fav actors, my two favorite are Errol Flynn and Vincent Price. For modern people, I like Kate Winslet and Nicole Kidman for actresses, and Ben Barnes and Jesse Eisenberg for actors.
Music:
Evanescence, Taking Back Sunday, Flyleaf, Lady Gaga (I find her oddly inspirational), Queen Of The Damned Soundtrack, The Academy Is..., both Moulin Rouge! soundtracks, the Cabaret soundtrack, classic striptease/burlesque music, anything I can Charleston to, anything I can cancan to, Panic! At The Disco, Cobra Starship, Wicked Wisdom, Cage The Elephant, AFI, Natasha Bedingfield, No Doubt, Spice Girls, The All-American Rejects, The Killers, MCR, Three Days Grace, Gym Class Heroes, and I need to update this list to add more. My fav song changes from The Wreckoning by BoomKat or I'm So Sick by Flyleaf.
Books:
I love reading about scandal, sex, and the lives of fascinating people. I read many historical books and biographies. I also will read some of the classics, but I like pulp and guilty pleasure books. I especially love books from/about the Victorian Age, as that is my favorite time period (more specifc, I love the Romantic Age). And of course, The Roarin' 20s is always entertaining. My favorite poem is Rudyard Kipling's "The Vampire." I am currently doing research for "As You Like It" by William Shakespeare, for a play I'll be working on in fall (as dramaturg), but not reading anything else currently.

thesparklingdiamond is not happy that YT will make us change our channel designs in less than 2 months. I worked so hard on this design, and I really do not care for the new one.
