Smart Bitches Trashy Books | All of the romance, none of the bullshit.

I own the first two seasons, but not the third (yet) so you’re definitely not alone!

You and me, babe--separated at birth.

My daughter’s name is Kathryn Alexandria.  The Kathryn part… came from that show. ;)

I hate to call out Raybelle since she never blogs anymore, but she had a love for Vincent that was way creepy.  Had a life size poster of him in her bedroom watching her sleep.  **Shudder**

She knew that show backwards and forwards and inside out.

That Fabio album is one of the funniest things I’ve heard in a long, long time.  I may have to get it for my husband for our anniversary.

coming64--not likely with that background music.

Yeah, don’t worry, there are many of us BatB fans out here. That’s why I loved “Hellboy,” although Ron Perlman was no Vincent in that flick.

I had, as in “paid money for,” a tape of Thorsten Kaye--he of One Life to Live’s Patrick Thornhart--reading Keats and sonnets and ... gah! My heart was older than 12 at the time, but the embarrassment still runs silent and deep.

But the best link you’ve ever provided, ever, is the one to i-mockery.com and the Fabio reading. I think I broke some ribs and the stuff all over my computer monitor will never come off.

I had that cassette too!  And played it over and over and over.  And over and over again.

I had that tape too!  Loved it and wore it out.  I was a HUGE B&B fan, so you are definitely not alone.

This reminds me of a cassette tape I had years ago.  Couldn’t remember the name, just the writer--Lee Blaske.  But found it on Amazon.  Journey of the Vampire--check it out. ;)

all my friends thought I was nucking futs because I was always listening to that Beauty & the Beast tape.

I still have some of the poems from that tape memorized.  And, lucky aural thinker me, I get to hear them in Vincent’s voice.

Loved BatB and wish I had had the tape - meantime I need to work on my husband and see if I can get him to uy me all three DVD’s (seperate from my book fund for the year LOL)

Hee! A couple of popular local morning radio DJs (SF Bay area) found that Fabio album a few years ago and could NOT stop playing clips and riffing to them.

I think they still use the porny background tracks from time to time, and it never fails to crack me up.

Now I know where an Australian comedy show got their Fabio skit from. The comedian had on fake man-titty and an open frilly shirt and would give advice on luurve and romance, and would end the skit with, “Root me, root me”. Cracked me up every time.

I loved that show.  But the way they ended it still pisses me off.  My theory is that they knew there was a rabid fanbase and they didn’t want to get a lot of letters so they wanted to irritate fans.

I had read somewhere that they originally planned to have Vincent go into the “underworld” to bring Catherine back after they killed her, but changed it.

Anyway I loved that show.  Also I have the CD of the soundtrack.

Oh, man...the transcriptions of Fabio’s monologues made my belly jiggle as much as the audio clips did!

“Talk Sex With Sue” on the Oxygen channel used to run (and maybe still does) cheezoid commercials for a couple of clit-zinger oils.  Same background music, I swear.

I love the reviewer on Amazon that said “It’s all such a ghastly car-accident of an album that it transcends into genius.”

OMG! They’re on DVD? YES!! I loved that show!! Thanks!

I had the BATB tape and I listened to it endlessly. And I HATE poetry so that tell you something about my passion for the show. I tried to find it on cd but I had no luck, I thought it didn’t even exist. To the ebay!

Ringing in as another mad fan of B&tB and another who listened obsessively to the tape (it even helped distract me during wisdom teeth removal).

And it is still available on CD:

There was an audiotape? I have the CD, and I still listen to it.
