Humor for Jareth-obsessed GUYS!

[modernwizard]

The stereotypical Laby fan is a lustfully hormonal teenaged girl [or a woman with the hormones of a lustful teenaged girl] who wishes she had a personal Jareth to do naughty activities with. MALE Jareth/Laby fans do exist, however. But they are just overwhelmed by the squealing of the aforementioned girls.

I have proof that guy fans exist because one of them wrote to me: a hilarious document entitled "50 Signs That You Are Obsessed With Labyrinth: Humor for GUYS." I'll post the whole list eventually, but here's my favorite item:

21. Your answering machine message is Laby related. (Mine: “Hello, you’ve reached the Goblin King. Just fear me, love me, do as I say, and leave a message after the beep.”)

30. You have actually tried to learn the choreography for "Dance Magic."

42. You have a MAJOR crush on Jennifer Connelly. [Just don't tell my girlfriend.]

Watch for more when I get my rear in gear and update the Realm.

Thanks for the suggestions! After I posted here, I started a big convo (http://www.livejournal.com/users/jengagne/64435.html) over in my journal.

I ended up ordering some anatomical models (http://www.dickblick.com/zz216/00/) from Dick Blick, which should be arriving today. The proportions aren't anime-style, but I can deal with that... especially since they have more contour detail than the Obitsu bodies I've seen, and they're still very flexible (http://www.dick-blick.com/items/216/00/21600-OD3ww.jpg).

You know, you bought a 1:6 fig that's actually put out by Sideshow Toys, the makers of the 1:6 Buffy characters, including Drusilla, which I reviewed here. (http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/15125/sideshow_collectibles_sinks_fangs_into.html) It's a very flexible 1:6 body. Although collectors of 1:6 figs find it too long in the abdomen and skinny in the arms, I bet it has great fig drawing purposes.

Ah! Makes sense they'd use it for other things too. I got it direct from Sideshow Toys for $12 (hard to beat that price!)

As for the proportion, yes, I agree -- but it's perfectly fine for what I'm trying to do. If I can't deal with adjusting proportions, I shouldn't be drawing anime/manga people, yanno?
