girlfriday: Omg. javabeans: So. This looks amazing. In one sense of the word amazing. girlfriday: Like scrape-your-jaw-off-the-floor amazing? Wonder-if-you’re-sober amazing? javabeans: I-guess-the-description-really-was-accurate amazing? girlfriday: I’m not sure WHAT I imagined for alien vampire prince who travels to Earth to become an idol star, but this is definitely BETTER.
