(♠ Louis purses his lips, stretches his legs, drums his nails thoughtfully on the desk before setting his responses down)

ONE SONG: Edith Piaf, Hymne à l’Amour 

TWO MOVIES: The Pianist, Spirited Away

THREE TV SHOWS: I confess that commercials limit my enjoyment of television, they’re an assault on the senses, but at any rate, I’ll choose shows I access through commercial-free means: Frasier, Poker Night in America, and Married w/ Children. There are moments when I completely understand Al Bundy, particularly under the onslaught of Peggy Bundy’s insatiable demand for physical affection *sighs*

FOUR ANIMALS: cats, cicadas (such music they make), horses, and Lestat. Oh, I can’t choose Lestat? The case could be made that he is an animal. I could provide second opinions on that. Alright, lions. *smirks*

FIVE FOODS: Coffee, tea, the scent of freshly baked bread, bananas are aesthetically pleasing, the sound of pistachio shells being cracked open.

(♛ Lestat here, darlings! Always happy to inform you of a few more of my favorite things *air kiss*)

one song: “You May Be Right” – Billy Joel, “You may be right/I may be crazy/Ho!/But it just may be a lunatic you’re looking for.” I relate to this song on a deeply spiritual level, mes petits.

two movies: The War of the Roses, (trust me on this, it is a beautiful unfurling of a divorcing couple that cannot seem to leave eachother), Dances with Wolves (will always be deeply moving).

three tv shows: ER (yes, it’s old, but so am I), Oz, the Daily Show (where else would I get my current events?)

four animals: dogs, dogs, dogs, dogs, okay, alright…. mastiffs, dalmations, german shepherds, irish setters *grins*

five foods: Seeing as I chose victim types the last time I did this… foods that I never got to try, and look intriguing to me by their smell, appearance, and/or texture: rocky road ice cream, vegan meat-substitutes like seitan, sushi (so artfully prepared, more sculpture than food), modern wedding cake with fondant icing, watermelon.

… and actually I enjoy her choices so I’ll just edit them *u*

1. New Orleans Saints football, well tbh I only really know of Drew Brees and I approve of their uniforms very much, so I’ll say instead, NOLA in general (flora, fauna, cemeteries, ghost tours, adult beverages, French cuisine, the Garden District, the French Quarter, the architecture, the music, the people, okay I’ll stop), and I plan to make a big post about my last visit, it will happen, I PROMISE. And definitely going again w/ some fandom ppl WHICH WILL ALSO HAPPEN. 

2. Vampire Chronicles fandom – OF COURSE DUH

3. creepy/horror films & stories – OF COURSE DUH

4. Gardening and cooking: I do not have a green thumb and can barely manage making egg-based meals, so I’ll just say I appreciate other people’s gardening immensely and there’s nothing like a home-cooked meal from your family/friends ❤

5. Books/Libraries – OF COURSE DUH but for travel, I do love the convenience of my e-reader.

(♛ Lestat here, darlings!)

One Song: Just ONE? Johnny Cash’s cover of Hurt is sometimes too much for me, but it remains an absolute favorite. ‘What have I become, my sweetest friend?/Everyone I know goes away in the end…’

Two Movies: (I’ll skip the easy answer here, you know which movie I mean, and choose instead) American Beauty, and American Psycho. An appropriate pairing. 

Three TV shows: SO many to choose from, I’ll go with the timeless classics: The Munsters, the Addams Family, Get Smart. These are classics, and I only regret I missed the era that they were made. Those first two have better family dynamics than many of the more recent TV series. Get Smart had enough technology (a shoe-phone before cellphones!), charm, and fashion to keep me riveted. 

Four People: I am a people-person so this is intensely difficult. I’ll choose one rockstar: David Bowie, one lover: Louis (mon coeur), the intrepid journalist who helped reunite me w/ mon coeur, Daniel Molloy, and I should pick a chick, shouldn’t I? So… my Mommie Dearest, Gabrielle.  

Five foods: Well. I am a picky eater but I guess: Drug dealers, pedophiles, serial killers, human traffickers, and jaywalkers (ok, not really that last one *smirks*)

Got tagged by redversaillesrose

(♛ Lestat here, darlings. Mun was tagged but I felt like answering these, so I am dictating these answers.)

1. Why did you choose your URL?

She chose it because she clearly wants her Interview w/ the Vampire. It’s actually a little twist on the old MTV slogan, “I want my MTV.” Currently she prefers her interviews to be with the one that wasn’t initially interviewed, c’est moi, mes amis.

2. What is your middle name?

I do have a middle name, Christophe Marie. The mun’s middle name is Dorothy. How very Wizard of Oz. 

3. If you could own a fairytale/fictional pet, what would it be?

I AM a fairytale pet! Hm… so many to choose from, and I don’t even know the full index of them all. I would say a beautiful little lady fairy, with endowments that would be fun to watch bounce *ahem*… a small winged dragon that I could take to the air with me. That is one thing Mojo (or any other dogs so far) unfortunately did not enjoy.

4. Favourite colour?

RED. GOLD. Gem tones in general. Creamy white. I must have several gray velvet blazers in my wardrobe at all times. 

5. Favourite song?

The great Bon Jovi’s ‘Livin’ on a Prayer’ is a close second to Springsteen’s ‘Secret Garden.’ 

Honorable mentions: Queen’s ‘We Will Rock You’, Chamillionaire – ‘Ridin’ ft. Krayzie Bone’

6. What are your top 3 fandoms?

I am just getting into Superwholock… just kidding just kidding, put your holy water and sharpened stakes down! Vampire Chronicles. It is my fandom, after all. Is there a Sam Spade fandom? A Blade Runner fandom? I shall start them.

7. Why do you enjoy Tumblr?

The drama in the coven The beautiful tribute artwork of myself, my loved ones, the written declarations of love to us! Who can resist that kind of production? I do also get alot out of the fashion, the pop culture, and the photography. Especially photography of sunrises, sunsets, vistas in the daylight *siiiigh.*

8) Tag 9 of your tumblr crushes (they have to do all 8 questions too) ((if you want to of course))
