Immortals

No, it's ok. I love to talk to fans-- talking to fans is almost the
best part of the job. The best part of course is actually
talking with The Main Man-- or any of The Immortals, or the
cool people they hang out with.
Yeah, it's "like a uniform". But more exactly, it's "the insignia
worn by the retainers of a feudal lord". Indicates role and
status. Not for lower servants like the scullery maids -- for
the ones who are on public display, from Footmen up to the
Lord Chamberlain. So this Immortals shirt I call "The Livery of
the Demi-gods". You get it? Riffing on how religious garb is
called "God's Livery". You know, the cassocks and mitres and
-- what do you call those things that hang down? ... Right,
the "stoles".
You're an English major, aren't you? Right. I can tell. Just like
your friend here-- your husband? Right, I see the ring-- he's a
geek. the penguin on his Linux tee shirt is a bigger giveaway
than your grammar.
I don't know myself how. Or why. I wanted the job, and I got
it, but.... I mean, I set out to get a job like this, getting it was
like my quest. So I researched where they were shooting and
I hung around and made myself useful. But megafans do
that by the hundreds-- so why choose me?
Yeah. Its the fans who make my job easy. Right now I'm
working on a production record for the Immortals main web
site, stills of all the locations that appeared in the series.
Everywhere I go, people come up to me and want to help. In
Tokyo? They show me exactly where a scene was shot. They
pull pictures and autographs out of their wallets as proof.
Then they want their picture taken with me, to prove that!
Talk about Interactive!
