Her lips were red, her looks were free,
Her locks were yellow as gold:
Her skin was as white as leprosy,
The Night-mare LIFE-IN-DEATH was she,
Who thicks man’s blood with cold.
Anne Rice – Interview With The Vampire (via rhapsodyenmauve)
OMG yes! I had a few 1700′s style (or 70′s 1700′s revival…) shirts as a teen, and the tugging motion of pulling those laces from the jacket sleeves is very familiar! Though I didn’t wear leather, I had a ugly burgundy velvet jacket. And I drove a bicycle, not a sports car. (This was mainly David Bowie’s fault, I didn’t read VC until I was 18…) That motion/gif reminds me of listening to glam rock from my walkman and feeling like the most bad ass under-appreciated 14 year old hot mess in town.
Ugly burgundy velvet jacket is also VC. There’s definitely some David Bowie in Lestat (fashion, looks, attitude, musical prowess, etc!). Especially Jareth!Bowie.
Goblin King vs. Brat Prince? I always thought these two moments were worth comparing and now you’ve given me an adequate excuse to do it! They’re both pining for the affections of a brunette… they both use a kid to try to hold onto their brunette… So many comparisons…
Lestat (and Jareth!) is kinda the most bad ass under-appreciated 1421200+ year old hot mess in town.
I love how in all the books, regardless of whose talking Louis is described as ‘the pretty one’. Vampires in Anne Rice novels are all described as being beautiful in some way, death making them so. But in a supernatural world populated by Beauties, characters need to spend pages gushing about Louis looks. His utter bafflement at this and the other characters gushing make me laugh every time its brought up.
omg you must’ve looked wickedly cool. It’s an excellent combo. The girlier the lace, the grungier the leather, the better.
Re: it being an iconic moment: Oh I agree! It’s one of his most iconic moments in the movie, for sure, specifically bc it relates to fashion and a little bit about just being comfortable; bc when sleeves are bunched up like that it limits your range of motion, not good for driving but i digress. AND because we can see his hands are back to normal, he’s definitely feeling better already, and ready for another adventure… with Daniel this time!
Filed under: #gif #laces out #one of my fave moments in the movie for sure #delicately pulling the lace out of his sleeves #he knows its filthy #but its very dignified #like when he dusts himself off in front of the #children of darkness #refined and dapper even in filthy old lace #and that has to be Daniel’s leather jacket #bc hes not wearing it in the previous shot #and then he is #so i bet it was in the backseat or smtg #lestat #lestat de lioncourt #the vampire lestat
Wreck This Journal page of mine that I’m most fond of. I used a shimmery orange watercolor to smear my fingerprints down the page, then traced my hands atop and added all the elements to mimic a favorite vampire of mine.
( i-want-my-iwtv , I will be drawing more of the Brat Prince soon!)
