two hot numbers, one different kind of fantasy
Things have taken a turn for the surreal yet again:
What’s on TV? Oh, the usual sci-fi fantasy, read by women in bed.
When late-night channel surfers encounter two nude women in bed on a public-access show called “Fantasy Bedtime Hour,” many things come to mind. Leprosy is probably not one of them.
But leprosy — and monsters and mud and swords — are what this particular fantasy is all about. The two bedded women aren’t really nude, just artfully posing under the sheets; and they’re not holding a titillating tete-a- tete, but a confounding discussion of a 28-year-old paperback novel called “Lord Foul’s Bane.” Their girl-on-girl action is limited to pondering the meaning of words like “dotard” and “inchoate,” and the program’s live-action sequences involve developmentally disabled horses and 7-foot monsters made out of old pantyhose.
“We thought that if it was risque enough we’d get more viewers, and we’d keep the ones with a sense of humor,” says Julie, who co-hosts “Fantasy Bedtime Hour” with her roommate, Heatherly.
That’s all well and good, but, I can’t help but wonder: why LORD FOUL’S BANE, ladies? Seems like an odd choice for two naked chicks. Those who have read it will probably know what I’m talking about.
Still, what a concept!

This is the greatest thing to hit public access since Dungeon Majesty.

Dungeon Majesty? Wazzat?

Cable access show with four women playing Dungeons and Dragons. There are cheesy stop-motion animations, dramatic close-ups of dice and graph paper, silly segments where they answer viewers’ letters in character, dramatizations of the game action…
You can see some pics and watch a couple of episodes through their website, http://www.dungeonmajesty.com . It’s a stitch.

That sounds extraordinarily glorious.
