Finally, Some Actual Krikki News!

Courtesy of L.Goss, a write-up and some photos of my man Jackson playing with his band, 100 Monkeys. They had a gig in Vancouver and, sweetly enough, some of the Twilight/New Moon cast came out in support. The key item:

As for the others – am told Kristen and Nikki apparently seemed completely smashed, were having a great time, totally inseparable. Had dinner first with Taylor, then walked over to the venue together, and spent most of the show in the front row (short video is below).

Ha, that makes me really happy: date night in Krikkiville. The video is quite short but worth watching for hilarious Nikki-ness!

Happy Birthday Kristen, Part II: Electric Twilightaloo

First, although this isn't a "Twilight" blog per se, I do make it a point to periodically check out the Twilight tag on Lainey Gossip. She's like a funnier, smarter, definitely more coherent Perez Hilton (whom I find so odious I won't even spare him the hyperlink - the douchehound) and actually provides incredible candids on the daily (without the need to write crappy Paint captions on them). In doing so, I found the latest motherlode on my boy and yours, Jackson. Swoon. It's all very, "Aw, honey, did I leave my boots under your bed? No, I remembered them just as I was about to walk out the door. My bad, ma'am... you have a delightful day."

But, this isn't "Krackson Watch", so let's move on to my "secondly"... which is Kristen's birthday. Where were you when this whippersnapper was born? I was being tormented weekly by Mrs. Clark, Worst Grade Five Teacher Ever. It makes me a little sad to know that someone who was born in 1990 is walking around being a grown-up, but there it is.


Anyway, happy birthday KStew, without whom this blog - and our unrelenting girlcrush - would not exist. May your future be brightly lit and filled with fulfilling indie projects as well as high-profile fun fluff!

"I know you don't like the attention, but at least try to look surprised when they all jump out from behind the couch. It's also a costume party, so here's the plan: you can be Shane McCutcheon: The Wonder Years; I'll be Cindy Crawford, If Cindy Crawford Was A Mid-'90s Lesbian. Then we can have cake. Possibly in bed. Okay?"

My Introduction

The world is full some of the best things such as; cats, turkey, Zoë Bell, and internet phenomenons. I recently became aware of one these phenomenons and it was called NikkiStew. I had no idea who Kristen Stewart was until I became aware of Twilight but I've known of Nikki Reed since Thirteen. Even though that movie is not particularly gay it is on most must watch movie lists for young lesbians. Now we come to the point. I noticed the affectionate manner in which KStew and Nikki act with each other awhile back and gave it no thought other than some friends are just like that. I think it can range from people who just enjoy touching each other and seek comfort in affection to what is called a passionate friendship. The latter situation is the kiss of death for us lesbians who tend to fall for straight girls. The blatent nature of their displays was slightly facinating to me but what I found even more facinating was that one day last week i was reading After Ellen and stumbled upon the organized nature of the NikkiStew phenom. For anyone who does not know After Ellen it is one of the best lesbian websites on the net. There is an article there about "K-11", the upcoming gender bender of a movie that KStew and Nikki are starring in togther. Also there was a golden link... golden in my mind. It was the key to the NikkiStew universe. Wow, I forgot how detail oriented lesbians engaging in les/bi speculation can be. I started laughing hysterically and with great joy that I had found something so wonderful. Now, I agree with my good friend Sammy about the name NikkiStew. In fact the whole porno roast thing was pretty much the first thing that popped into my mind when I heard it. I don't want to take away from those who came up with that name but I chose to use Krikki since I think it is a beter representation of the comical side of the issue. Basically, I think what I am trying to do here is blog about people blogging about this bff couple while at the same time blogging about the subject itself from a slightly different perspective than is currently presented. That was my rather lengthy and less sarcastic than usual explanation of why I came up with the idea for this blog. Thanks to Sammy for coming up with her favorite, (and one of mine), pics for the graphic. -B

Inaugaural Krikki Post

So... Nikkistew. It seemed like a cool enough nickname at first, the cutesy amalgamation of Nikki Reed and Kristen Stewart. Until it started to conjure images of a pornographic film featuring Kristen slow-cooking Nikki like a succulent roast, and other less-graphic but still disturbing mental projections. (Personally, I find it to sound vaguely filthy in a way I can't quite put into words; I imagine the filmy scum left on the inside of a pressure cooker after creating some kind of meat-and-veg concoction.)

So, my intrepid co-blogger B. and I decided on "Krikki": it's a fair division (both from first names), and seems to possess a certain pizazz that "Nikkistew" fails to achieve.

For introductions: we are two women eagerly awaiting more news on the mysterious, ambiguous, touchy-feely development between BFFs Kristen Stewart and Nikki Reed. We are both "Twilight" connoisseurs, both book and film, and definitely fans of the aforementioned ladies and their blossoming friendship. This is our space to highlight, analyse, and speculate wildly about the pair - and possibly other things relating to the "Twilight" saga. We will deliver the news to you, where-ever or however we might find it!
