A number of years in the past my proficient, unusual pal – Aurora Florence – was within the course of of making a brief movie about an lovable, weirdo taxidermist who suffers from crippling nervousness and attire her rescued roadkill up in outfits. And likewise it’s a musical with dancing taxidermy. IT’S LIKE IT WAS MADE FOR ME.
She requested if she might borrow Rory (the candy raccoon on the duvet of Furiously Pleased and I used to be completely in besides that Rory is approach too fragile and his fingers preserve falling off (it’s high quality. My dad resculpted them over dinner one evening) so as a substitute I despatched her Rory III, who was made with doll fingers, cardboard, magic and a roadkill raccoon carcass. Rory III was created a few years in the past after I was on ebook tour by my different proficient, unusual pal – Tara Dactyl.
Aurora liked him as a result of one of the best sort of folks can see hidden magic and so Rory III went on trip to have a visitor spot in The Anxious Taxidermist, an award-winning brief that I like a lot it hurts. I can’t present you the entire thing as a result of (fingers crossed) it’ll hopefully be made right into a full characteristic sooner or later, however Aurora did add three of my favourite songs from the musical so as to all respect the BRILLIANT (I don’t use this phrase calmly…critically, you’ll agree) work and in addition see Rory III make his performing debut.
Prepared? This one is a favourite that I can’t cease singing loudly round my home, a lot to Victor’s chagrine. (Tiny Rory III sighting at 45 seconds.)
And this one, which is simply…CHEF’S KISS…and incorporates a Rory III solo at 1:20.
And this one, which isn’t Rorified, however actually makes me cry each time as a result of she completely nailed the fixed battle with our personal heads.
Ow. But additionally…fuck yeah.
All this to say…we will do superb issues…unusual and superb issues….collectively.
She’s at the moment fundraising for her subsequent mission, which sounds incredible. You’ll be able to test it out right here if you wish to get entangled.
And my pal Tara, who created Rory III so a few years in the past? She was not too long ago on a sport present with David Spade the place folks guess which enterprise is actual and which is a joke.
She offered ethically-sourced raccoon carcasses rescued from the dumpsters to be made into crocs. Crocoons.
And they’re completely actual, my mates.
You’ll be able to test her stuff out right here.
All this to say that sisters are getting shit completed.
Bizarre, terribly weird shit.
The finest sort of shit.
Carry on going mates. You could battle. You could get judged. However ultimately our mixed strangeness makes us higher. Or no less than frightens away the folks we don’t wish to speak to.
