Let's be honest - I mostly sewed this FibreMood Lara sweatshirt as a vessel for some htv I accidentally cut WAY too big over the summer! 🙈

Despite some awful instructions, I'll def sew this again - I love the oversized fit & the big kangaroo pocket!

A white woman with brown hair is standing outside wearing an oversized black sweatshirt with "The Vampire Lestat" scrawled on the chest in white vinyl.

A white woman with long brown hair is taking a selfie with her face partially seen, but her back is visible in a mirror. She’s wearing a black sweatshirt with a looming man’s face in white vinyl on the back.

THANK GOD Mayfair is largely ignored. Fuck their attempts to Marvel superhero the Talamasca agents.

And ooooh! 👀 Upcoming series Lestat nods??

One of the great things about Talamasca: The Secret Order, is how you can come to the show as a completely new viewer who has not watched either Interview with the Vampire (or is it The Vampire Lestat now?) or Mayfair Witches but it ties together with almost perfect precision to IWTV. As for Mayfair...well, given the fans and the critics views on this show it’s hardly surprising that it's not much spoken about in this series but WTV is.

If you're looking for some Lestat nods to tie into the upcoming third season of IWTV then don't worry, the series makes sure to include some.

A largely positive review of The Talamasca! (Though the site could use a sub-editor)

I managed to pause the Vampire vs Vampire video right at Sam’s disgust over Edward Cullen 😌

Same state, but I’m not comfortable saying more specifically in public, as I’m sure you can understand!

The ones Lestat is wearing are these: maisondefashion.com/products/cou...

If you read my blog post, I’m not going for a direct 1:1 replica, I’m more going for something close to what he’d wear, and I already had the pleather fabric

If you are worried
about cognitive harms
you should be concerned
that tests have “found
protein powders and shakes
contain high levels of lead,”
and if you are worried
about cognitive harms
you should also be concerned
about how many times
you have contracted Covid.

Oh dear! I forget sometimes that not everyone grew up in Amish country!

(It’s a great line though)

Awww thank you so much! 🥹🥰 Yeah we had a blast doing this shoot!

Melissa Fehr @melissafehrtrade.bsky.social · 1d

Haha no, but he is my usual photographer for the blog so it was a fair assumption!

Melissa Fehr @melissafehrtrade.bsky.social · 1d

Actually not at all?

I already got my giggles out earlier when in another pose my photographer told me I looked like I was taking a shit 🫣

Enjoy my best/worst lip synching to Lestat's "All Fall Down", thanks to a basic editing in Premiere Pro video I watched.

“MANY looks” so long as they’re all blond and frizzy 😝

I may have to give her a trim and style… can I even use regular hair products on a cheap synthetic wig?

@realaguss.bsky.social I bought her. 🤭
