Parlor Roots--Let's Talk Genealogy

When you visit some of the pages of the Parlor, those pages might have a bonus section at the bottom, before the footer, called ~Parlor Roots~.  I've set this section apart in its own section from the main area of each page it will appear on as I have with occasional factoids and funsies.  These bonus items are set in their own section.  They aren't necessarily a direct part of the discussion on the Mayfair Witches, but can possibly provide an additional perspective on the topic of that particular page.

Updates and New Pages on the Parlor

To the utter relief of the Parlor, Tropical Storm Hilary has come through with destruction surprisingly minimal.

Hurricane...Tropical Storm...EARTHQUAKE??!

This has got to be one of the most bizarre things I've ever heard of.  It's definitely on the same level as a bad joke.  Just this afternoon, as Hilary made her way towards the coast of Southern California, a 5.1 earthquake hit a little over four miles south of Ojai.

The Parlor is in a state of alarm tonight as Hurricane Hilary makes her way toward the coast of Southern California.

AMC September

This article from AMC Networks does not mention Interview With the Vampire, Mayfair Witches or Night Island.  It appears to be an announcement of shows premiering on AMC in September.

Commentaries on the Works of Anne Rice

I've added some additional resources to the Anne Rice Commentaries page.  In addition to books written about Anne Rice and her work, there are several where one chapter or section discusses Anne's work.

Mayfair Family Tree Graphics

I have been focusing on other areas of the Parlor lately.  However, there's a lot to say about the Mayfair Family Tree.  I like to make graphics that are appealing, creative, and help present the topic of the page.  So, I have a couple of new graphics on two of the family tree pages.  Here is an example of one:

Fan Art of the Mayfair Witches

As I said, the previous post will have a Part II that goes deeper into the issue of fan art versus fan fiction.  I had just begun a page on the Parlor dedicated specifically to fan art related to the AMC series when SAG-AFTRA also went on strike in solidarity with the WGA.  In support, the pages on the Parlor about the series are idled.  Which means I had forgotten I had written some words about my approach to fan art versus fan fiction.

The Parlor on Fan Fiction

There are a few things I want to discuss, so this post might be long.  My favorite.

I'm kidding!  Anyway...

Mary Beth Mayfair

I've made a new version of the animated portrait of Mary Beth Mayfair.  It has the floating rose petals and a music clip from the countdown clips for the AMC series.  There is something subtle but different from the first version I made of Mary Beth Mayfair.  Can you guess what it is?

Stella Mayfair "Sings"-Techno Flapper

I was animating Stella Mayfair on cutout.pro, and got curious to see what Stella looked like up close and animated...

...and THIS happened:

Mayfair Funny Pages

For giggles, I decided to redo a brief little short video I made when the Parlor began massive renovations.  I added a little sound, as well.  I also wanted a better image of the Egyptian Keyhole doorway with the signs and sleeping cat on a doormat that says--well, look here:
