I think I was waiting to crop photos for this post (which I never did), and then forgot about it completely - but now that they were featured on CampBlood, I just had to share one of my "book club" member's craftastic creation: True Blood Paper Doll Cupcake Smackdown!
Confused?
You know I used to be in a book club, and that book club reorganized as a TV watching club ("art film night") watching - True Blood in particular. Each week we'd gather for deep discussions and half naked Ryan Kwanten, cheering of Eric and contemplation of Bill's awful hair.
CampBlood is a website that looks at horror movies and culture, and one of their features is a video blog (or vlog, if you prefer) called "Blood Work" where two hilarious dudes comment on each True Blood episode, and one of said dudes created a line of PAPER DOLLS based on characters of the show.
The paper dolls are fantabulous, and available here. They've even added the long awaited Eric now!
On finale night, Carin brought our group yummy Byerly's cupcakes each decorated with a TB paper doll! She actually colored them by hand when her printer died, how's that for dedication? She mounted each one on a straw like a stick puppet.
To determine which cupcake you got, you drew a "speech bubble" with an excellent quote from the series, and matched them up. We then spent an inordinate amount of time dressing our characters
Well, we dressed SOME of them... like Jason got his boots...
But Sam was just too cute in his "I just shifted back into human form and haven't found my clothes yet" get up:
You can click on the photos for a larger version to read the quotes - which of course we were spouting and impersonating the whole time. More quotes also listed on today's LovingTrueBloodinDallas, and seriously these run through my head all the time as my silent yet hilarious commentary on the world.
She even added an extra character, the "Big-Ass-motha-fucking-Paul-Bunyan-Pig!" and that's the one I got :) He's now chillin' his bacon in my car, and we scream at bad drivers together.
Anyways, as if that wasn't enough, CampBlood also hosted a "cubicle puppet show contest" which Carin entered as well as sent a photo of the "book club" cupcakes, and she was featured on the site today! She didn't win the grand prize, but what an awesome shout out. Carin, you rock! So glad you joined our "book club."
