Fan vid comments on HP, SV, and guys in drag

[Dina Lerret]

My latest 'obsession' for the past few weeks is the movie, Sorority
Boys (Amazon.com reviews pretty much sum it up).  The movie is *very*
cheezy but I actually liked it because of fanon--well, actors wearing
falsies to give them a bra size of 40-42C (factoid from the press kit)
also caught my attention. ;-)  It's mainly the Smallville folks who
had fun with the fact Michael Rosenbaum dressed in drag again (first
time was in Sweet November as Jason Isaacs', who also donned dress and
make-up, 'partner'):

Sorority Boys archive showing there really isn't much SB fanfic out
there but gotta have fun with the fact it's a *pink* archive with
sparkly heels)

Anyway, there's a fic called "Sex and Candy" which does provide some
basis for the following vid:

Sex and Candy by Marcy Playground)

I'll give kudos on her combining two different fanon 'universes' and
making some scenes work, especially the hotel scene at 'night' because
that's a daytime shot for Adina, but it's understandable there was
quite a bit of awkward editing too.  Regardless, it was fairly easy to
follow the vid's 'storyline' of Clark Kent either choosing the
transvestite, Adam (AKA Adina), who looks like Lex Luthor, or pick the
real deal.

Earlier today, I was reading some HP LJ newsletters and one of the
discussion topics was fan jealousy.  I can get jealous but not in the
sense of lashing out at another fan; it's more jealousy that '*damn*,
I wish I could be just as good'. {g}  The following vid is a case of
'*damn*, I wish I thought of that song and got my paws on it first':

Another Adam (AKA Adina) vid done to The Look by Roxette and it's got
some good editing going on, except towards the second half where it
felt like the vid was 'losing steam' (i.e. editing not matching song
pacing).  The first segment is a photo shoot that's from the DVD's
included music video/documentary--for the sadists, it's got a few
scenes of the actors being waxed for hair removal. ;-)  Based on the
green wax color, I'm guessing they used Nad's--Beavis and Butthead
moment: "uh, uh, huh-huh huh-huh, she said 'nads."

While I'm still referencing http://www.squidge.org/xandragirl/Vids.htm
 (space to keep comma from link), there's an HP slash vid with some
editing that *keeps* a good pace.  This is a nicely edited vid. 
Unfortunately, my maturity level is non-existent and I started
cracking up due to song choice of Pat Benatar's Love is a Battlefield.
:-\

Same vidder where one was an *awesome* song choice and the other left
me... err, IMO.

As for the song I ended up vidding to for Sorority Boys, it was Escape
Club's Wild Wild West... and {drum roll} it's *another* Adina vid.  I
first saw Sorority Boys on a Friday, but by Saturday afternoon, I
ditched my first song choice (I forgot what it was), spent about five
hours on Amazon.com sampling songs, and finally ended up with Wild
Wild West.
First version was the result of a day and a half of editing and second
version I spent an additional day:

Third version is still in the works to air at ZebraCon's vid show. 
Oh, and my vid has the 'daytime' Adina bed scene I referenced earlier.

Gosh, that's gotta be like my uber kink is guys that look like gals. 
One of my favorite groups is

gender 'lines' are crossed for HP characters.
