T2 R1 Nerd Culture Challenge: I See What You Did There

This is the challenge:"Since 2005, one website has been grabbing your (and my) nerdy little eyeballs like few others, making you laugh, making you cry, making you ask “WTF?”: the great time suck of your late-afternoon work/study sessions, YouTube. You’ve seen the cartoons, the cute cats, the mashups, and the webseries. Your challenge now is to make something inspired by your favorite YouTube video.

A few restrictions before we start, because I know you Nerd Warriors are sneaky Petes.

    * No basic instructional videos. I don’t want you to justify a pair of socks because you watched a Judy’s Magic Cast-On How-To.
    * No clips of TV shows or movies, unless they’re more popular on YouTube than they ever were on their original medium. Be prepared to defend the increased popularity.
    * Music videos are okay with me, as are TV commercials that were clearly designed to be viral sensations."


TEAM:   Bite Me

RAV HANDLE:   akarateka

CRAFT:   Knitting

Queen of The Damned is just about my favorite vampire movie because of its stylistic qualities.   In that way, it differs from the other movies from Anne Rice's works.  Slow and moody in spots because vampires have a lot of time and thus they can take their time.    The movie got cult status after the death of its star, Aaliyah.  Plus Stuart Townsend is to die for :D.

Anne Rice wrote in the book "He found rings and cuff links of gold. Now he was beautiful, as he had once been in other garments long ago. .."

Those gold cuffs really drew my attention.  Alas, no gold to work into a project so gold colored yarn made these cuffs.   I can wear them as a symbol of this movie. 

I don't have a tripod so I put my hands in front of the camera to take a picture of both.
