Spring said: Someone mentioned Buffy should come to LA with a husband - which is actually kind of a fun idea. But of course, Spike should have a great girlfriend also by that time.
That was me! And definitely, Spike would have a totally hot girlfriend who adores him! (I'm auditioning next week.)

Totally agree! No Dru or Harmony for Spike. How about that Electric Chick? Oh, wait. Gunn already had that. What a cheater he turned out to be! I can't imagine him and Fred picking up next season unless ahe's secretly stupid. There's always that girl who helps the homeless in that shelter. Didn't W&H fund that place? Spike definitely needs a sweet, sensitive girl who can kick serious butt! Let me audition! HA! Hope they come up with a goodie. Luckily, Joss is good at casting people with chemistry on his shows. I'll cross my fingers.

Alex, I put the tape on and watched about 15 minutes, which were interesting and then came over to play with you guys. So after I watch it, if its worth watching, you can certainly borrow the tape. I'll let you know.

Just an FYI - I can't tell for sure if you know this or not - so forgive me if I am misunderstanding you - but about David's post on the S3 board to Vlad about his "schizophrenia", and Patti's on this board ...
People confusing schizophrenia with multiple personality disorder is a pet peeve of mine - I know more about it than I ever wanted to know, due to family issues.
Anyhow, a schizophrenic is likely to hear voices, and/or have hallucinations, and/or paranoid delusions. They talk to themselves, they shout and mumble, they are sometimes violent and destructive in their quest to do things like rid the house of all supposed listening devices. They act a lot (a LOT) like Spike did in the beginning of Season 7 . . . in fact, JM made me cry and cry my eyes out with his portrayal, as it reminded me so much of a close but very lost family member (God, the disease is soooo devastating, it changes a person so much).
Schizophrenia has nothing to do with multiple personalities, though this is a common mistake because the media perpetuates the confusion. I just always try to speak up when someone seems confused about it - and maybe you aren't. But I just gotta do my thing anyhow; I do this spiel whenever I think I notice this type of confusion.
Thanks for bearing with me.

What is the consensus on what Spike should be allowed to wear on AtS? We don't want to lose the duster, of course, but what about branching out occasionally into other (sexy) clothes? Like a tuxedo? Or a speedo - that's a step up from his usual sock. Or warmup clothes, or him working out with a tank top and shorts (ala the recent pic.)
Do Spike's clothes make him who he is as a character? My opinion is no. After the initial shock, Spike was as mesmerizing as ever - even in the Hawaiian shirt. His nasty hidden smirk after telling Xander and Willow they didn't help Buffy in "Doomed" was classic Spike and the shirt didn't affect the scene at all.
I'd like the trademark black t-shirt and black jeans and duster to remain an integral part of him but I'm okay with a sartorial surprise occasionally.

As a matter of fact, I did take a couple of psyche classes in high school and college and enjoyed them very much. Bad on me for knowingly perpetuating a myth -- just that it is the term the majority of folks associate with the condition and therefore readily know. But you're right, schizophrenia has nothing to do with multiple personalities.

Alexandra -
Yes - I want him to keep the basic black, but want him to branch out as well. I like your suggestions. I am thinking them each over, one by one. Yes, Yes, Yes . . . YES!
ALSO - WHY can't we get rid of that slicked back helmet hair??? As I believe I have mentioned before, I like my Spike with curls.
Geez. I am getting too anxious about next year too soon. I am going to be a total mess by September.
54 Re: Spike in New Outfits 5/29/2003 12:03:53 AM Betsy Buckmaster I like that idea about the speedo, baby! I volunteer to pick out a sexy black one for him that he can model for me at his convenience. Sigh. Oh, and the black duster may need to be replaced if what he said about its rankness at the convention was true.

So I guess that the famous poem is actually incorrect...Roses are red. Violets are blue. I'm schizophrenic and so am I. The last line should read: I have multiple personalities and so do I. Nah. Doesn't pack the same punch. Just kidding. My aunt has dimentia, which totally sucks. So I can kind of relate. Betsy Buckmaster

Patti, Betsy - what a great idea for you two to audition to play the part of Spike's new girlfriend.
Did you hear they had moved the auditions from L.A. to San Antonio? You're in Texas, aren't you Patti? Start driving now. Auditions are being held from now until the end of June, in the basement of The Alamo.
Good Luck!

The basement of the Alamo? Isn't that where they burried the remains of the vampire Amilyn, after he was caught in that adult movie house? David Crenshaw

Oh, I so totally agree with you. I know JM wishes he had straight hair, but I don't think he sees that his angular face is set off with the curls. Stunning.
And Betsy said, ..."black speedo..." to which I reply, "Think about a white one instead. Wet." ;-) Alexandra K.

Yes, I believe you're right! I guess that's why they are having Angel auditions there. The atmosphere is so authentic and all.
(Thanks for the good laugh! Too funny!!) Spring Summers

What about these auditions? Is this on the up and up? Haven't heard anything about auditions. If true, is there an interview or something to read?
Thanks.

No - it is totally a joke. The Alamo has no basement, which was the sort of climactic joke of the movie "Pee Wee's Big Adventure."

//No - it is totally a joke. The Alamo has no basement, which was the sort of climactic joke of the movie "Pee Wee's Big Adventure." //
Hence my joke about Amilyn in the adult movie theater. Amilyn was the vampire better known as "Lefty" in the BtVS movie, Lothos' number two guy. He was played by Paul "Pee-Wee Herman" Reubens, who also got busted for indecent exposure in an adult movie theater. I'm still trying to figure out why anyone would be offended by nudity in an adult movie theater, but anyway ....
