I like the letter Z by Erte.

As Intermittent Court Limner, I do occasionally accept requests for avatar images. However, since I only work on them at Marc's parties, as you might imagine delivery time can vary wildly.

Eh? I just edited this message to make it more clear or at least funnier (I hope), and now the system says it's too short???

Edit: Ah. I was quoting, not editing. Well, since I can't easily delete it, I guess I'll leave it as-is. Now.

I've been googling, and, yes, I see what you mean. I'm more partial to the Erté alphabet though. The "M" is particularly striking.

Cheers,

SiX? Is that right?

I thought you might be partial to the M, whereas I have my eye on the T. Hey, current retail is only US$8650.00! They all have different prices... apparently the L is the current big ticket.

Excellent value. I'm going to buy the lot and wallpaper my Orrery Room with them.

Cheers,
Marc

Nobody ever notices you sitting quietly in the corner, sketching away on your InfoPad, do they?

The crowd at your party never noticed me when I showed up with a film crew to do a remake of Venus in Furs

I'm often overlooked. Occasionally someone tries to buy me a drink, and then gets confused when I ask for a pot of single-estate organic Darjeeling.

I used a cloaking mechanism (based in the appropriately-named "Cloak Room").

Now, 999, I can go to bed and hunt the marked in the East of Eden.

Marc (of Cain)

EDIT: Oh, crap and bugger. Neko beat me to 999 (the Beast Downunder). Oh well, there goes the first millennium. I'm still going to bed though. Always remember, ma chérie, you are loved.

ONE

THOUSAND

POSTS !!!!

holy cow y'all !! amazing. my mind is boggled and the cockles of my heart are warmed. and (yes marc) i feel loved (it's quite delicious). thanks everybody for playing.

this calls for some sort of commemorative toast and a celebration : champagne all around ! (and toast of course. jam or butter ? both ?)

In an interesting juxtaposition, he writes, "New York publishers were afraid that...the Z might offend someone."

*sigh* i get that a lot, and not just from New York publishers. they just don't understand, i have to be taken at the second degree.

but that was for the best ; the extras seem so natural and unrehearsed.

if i ever forget, i can just come and stroll around this thread to remind myself.

Hey -- for those of us too lazy to google -- can we have a link to the Erte alphabet? The human one posted previously was very cool!
Oh, and yes, the Z posted here is really great!

slayda · 08-05-2008, 01:27 PM

I'm just wondering what Ms Z Erte is hanging her beads on.

Steven Lyle Jordan · 08-05-2008, 01:29 PM

Okay, I just had to visit a 1000-post thread... just to say I'd been here! Incredible, guys.
