An unexpectedly big day for mermaid news!

Okay, first of all, apparently they're remaking Splash and Channing Tatum's gonna be the merlady/merman/merperson, which -- holy crap. I've chosen my flist wisely, so I know -- I know -- I don't have to explain why this is a very, very good thing.

Please, Jebus, please, let him wear a seashell bra!

And then, OMG, on the literary front: I have just learned that Anne Rice is about to publish a book that will send Lestat to the friggin' lost city of Atlantis, where, I can only presume, he will wow the local populace by using an ancient sea turtle as a percussive instrument while singing a jazzy tune. No joke, this just may be the best thing that has ever happened to me.

Prince Lestat and the Realms of Atlantis, people. It's happening. And if there's a midnight release party at B&N, I will be going. Probably in a full body flounder costume. Mark my words.

CT in a Splash remake. That is amazing! And you know he could pull off that seashell bra.

Gah! If only I were better at photoshop, I'd totally jump the gun on this!

I was very much on board for the whole Magic Mike craze, but still, something felt like it was missing. And now I know what it was: GILLS.

Ahahaha! I love the way your mind works!

But seriously, it's been a full week and I still feel a little light-headed whenever I think about Under-the-Sea!Lestat. Also, I've probably lost ten pounds from laughing so hard. This is too good. TOO GOOD.
