The Haircut

Edit:  Since originally posting this, I have since added the Haircut Redux video to this post as per special request-slash-suggestion-slash-command from Lorraine who feels the longer video will have fewer folks reading the end credits with the pointers to the music source page which she seems to think is more important than the actual video itself and she might be right as the music is by Kaye Elizabeth Phillips (http://www.kayephillips.com).

This morning, I posted a tweet on my twitter (http://twitter.com/meiguolangren) that was echoed on my facebook (http://www.facebook.com/briandavidphillips) that I was about to do something very silly . . . a few folks asked me whatever in the world that silliness would be . . . this photo might be a clue . . .

Lorraine did the honors (as always), stepping into her role of Delilah to my Samson without any sort of hesitancy. This is not the longest my hair has been before cutting so it's not the biggest style change I've seen in that regard (I once had near-waistlength hair cut to a GI buzz on television for a role in for which I appeared on stage in The Biloxi Blues for a mere thirty or so seconds - I was the assistant director and stage manager for the show and a number of the actors, particularly the leading man, were bitching and moaning about getting their hair cut so I told the director I'd go first to shut 'em up and they didn't have much room to moan after my soft curly locks started falling to the floor - by the way, my scene was in almost total darkness and I was mostly nude but unseen so I actually didn't have to have my hair cut but did so as I'm a bit odd that way - it is fun to change things up every once in awhile).

It's been a long while since I did any stage work (although that's my professional training with undergraduate and graduate degrees in theatre) and I do miss it sometimes. Back in the day, more than a few of my training directors, coaches, and teachers said that male actors should keep their hair long as it's a whole lot easier to have it cut for a role than it is to grow it out. Of course, that was back in the day when hair extensions and wigs were pretty damned easy to spot . . . oh, they still are today.

Here's the video we made of the cut for those who wish to see the images. Enjoy . . .

THE HAIRCUT REDUX
Abbreviated Chronological Version

This version of the video is the short and sweet no-fuss-no-mess chronological version of the piece. If you're not reading this at the Life of Brian (which you should as the original post there includes the video embeds for your viewing convenience), the youtube is at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8nNOWn_VLs.

THE HAIRCUT
Long Artistic Non-Linear Version

This version is the original long artistic non-linear rendering. If you're not reading this at the Life of Brian (which you should), the youtube is at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LauJrZpbGM.

Yes, I used different music for both versions of the video. Both songs are original compositions and performances by our favorite musician/composer on the planet, Kaye Elizabeth Phillips (http://www.kayephillips.com). These are relatively early pieces for her but I like them.

When Lorraine held up my braid, I did the whole "no you cut to much" fake panic thing but she wasn't buying it. Kaye can't figure out why in the world I would want to have it cut, but she's used to it. I have been finding today that every once in awhile, I have been moving my hand to the back of my neck to adjust the position of my braid as has been my habit . . . phantom hair, that is.

It will take a while to get used to it . . . but by then I wouldn't be surprised if I've started growing it back.

All the best,
Brian

Inside Scoop and Special Deals for FANS! That means You!

We've been very very busy beavers of late.  As many of you know, my training schedule has really been full of late as has my work editing new DVDs for you.  Well, we've also been a bit busy on other fronts . . . and this is very special.

We're revamping our FACEBOOK FAN PAGES (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Brian-David-Phillips/6286814894) so don't mind the dust as we add new photos, videos, and special features.  Fans are going to be getting special event announcements sooner and even very special deals on upcoming products.

Currently, we've got a number of very special DVD products in the queue for release in the next few months (Phillips Induction, Lifetrance, Psychic Hypnosis, Manifesting Abundance, and more).  Regulars already know that we tend to have pre-release celebrations for new products so that folks can order them at special celebration pricings before the official release when prices go to full retail, which usually means a bargain on top of a bargain.

Facebook Fans (and newsletter subscribers, when that gets online), will receive the pre-release notices earlier than others with access to Fan-Only pricing that saves even more than the general pre-release pricing!

For instance, on May 1, we will be making the announcements for the LIFETRANCE DVD set, a full seminar in hypnosis techniques for past life regression and other lifetrance processes.  This is the product a LOT of folks have been asking for over the years.  While the online shop will have all the particulars regarding the product and a special pre-release special price, Fans will be getting an extra link to a Fan-only price that takes the savings even further.  This is our way to say "thanks for the support" to our fans!

If you're not already a member of our Facebook Fan page, slip on over to http://www.facebook.com/pages/Brian-David-Phillips/6286814894 and signup now!

All the best,

"I'm a T-Shirt Hell T-Shirt Wearing Whore" Contest

The folks at T-Shirt Hell know how to get some great fansigns . . . have a regular contest. Hmmmm. Things have been slow around here on the fansign front of late.

Fansign . . . . . . . handing it to you . . .

A fansign from Dave Jones which he tells me is perhaps courtesy of some anchoring experiments. Thank you, Dave! For those unfamiliar with American Sign Language, that's the ASL sign for "I love you" . . . oh so many years ago, I was cast as a deaf man in the play Children of a Lesser God" and underwent a number of weeks of intensive sign language study . . . it was worth it as we had deaf folks in the round on stage, inches from the players, and a number of folks who specialize in deaf education came to see the performance which was a rare one back then . . . and after the show, a lot of folks were shocked to discover I was not actually a deaf actor but could hear and speak quite well. A number of professionals who worked with the deaf told me that I had hit the role perfectly. Quite the rush. It was the hardest role I ever had. See the rest of the fansigns here.

Hypnotic Hypnotist Fansign . . .. . . from the Con of the Dragon . . .. . . with a plethora of fansignish goodness!

Some of my hypnotist friends went to DragonCon (Sept. 1-4, 2005) in Atlanta and decided to say hello to me in a vey very special way . . . with a fansign!

From left to right Aaron (hypnofocus), David (idav5d, front), Lane (S.LanePierce, rear), and Susan (prismfire). I am told David (my friend and very competent and gentlemanly co-moderator at the Hypnosis Technique Exchange, is the primary culprit for the set. Click on the photo to go the page with the larger version and then browse the rest of that gallery for more. These folks not only sent me their fansign, they then ran around the convention and forced other happy people to hold up the sign. It is a fansign cornucopia! Of course, by showing me all the kool people and nifty events and blathering about them on their own blogs (including tasty tidbits about double handfuls of the articulate, intelligent, and rather hottish Jewel Staite's ass - I so envy you folks who get to see Serenity when it opens as we have not seen a single peep about the movie over here . . . my frustration doth overwhem mineself), they're also letting me know what an incredibly neat event I am missing and that we just don't have incredibly kool cons like that on this side of the Big Blue. Oh, sure, we have some kool events like cosplay but nothing as neat as some of the cons these folks go to. Almost makes me regret living in Asia . . . almost. It was nice to see that David's kids enjoy cosplaying as well. My daughter Kaye has been cosplaying at comic conventions here since she was four years old.

Wow. Good stuff.

Thank you, my friends . . . thou hast fed mine ego most heartily! That is a WONDERFUL set . . . just plain WOW! You folks are just plain grrreeat!

Fansign Hypnosis?

Something new on the fansign front.

Regular readers know I love to receive fansigns. Who doesn't? Regular readers also know I am a hypnotist. Well, one regular reader asked me how come I don't just hypnotize people to send me fansigns. Well, hypnosis doesn't quite work that way . . . but it got me thinking.

So . . . by special request of a regular reader of the Life of Brian webpages . . . I have created a trance induction MP3 recording specifically aimed at fansigns. These recordings are intended to be good fun and not to be taken too seriously.

The files are located in the Experimental Fun Recordings section at the Deep Relaxation Trigger Response Conditioning (DRTRC) webpages.

Listen to either the Fansign or Fansign Extended MP3 recording which induces a trance and then gives you suggestions to create a fansign. Please download the files to your own system and do NOT listen to them streaming from mine (my server sucks so let's not overwork it).

Remember, send in your fansigns to Life of Brian by emailing photos to phillips@nccu.edu.tw. Be sure to include any "message" or "links" you would like included with the post in the gallery.

For those who don't know, the fansign base post which explains what fansigns are and how to send them in for this site is here. You can also see all of the past fansign posts by going to the category index here.

If you're curious about other sites with fansigns, then you can find many via a Google search here.

Or, you can take a look at some of these galleries with fansigns (most of these are not safe for work):

• 15 Times Write on Your Body
• Miss Money
• Teen Planet
• Dix Trix
• Nice Ass Girls
• Daily Topless Fansigns
• Daily Topless Fan Signs
• Cupfart
• Forever Camgirls
• Bra and Panties
• Bubblegum Teens
• Teen Queens
• Crowfax

Have fun. And . . . remember, send in your fansigns by emailing them to phillips@nccu.edu.tw. If you wish a linkback, I would be more than happy to include it. If not, then I won't. If you would like an autostereoscopic fansign in return, then I'll send one of those too. If you like, you send me one and I'll send you one. Use real photos though with real writing on the cards or body . . . the autogenerators (here and here) are fun, but not the same as the real deal.

Enjoy.

Fansign

The links in the Life of Brian Fansigns category section have been updated.

For those who are unfamiliar with the term, a fansign is a sign by a fan (fan+sign=fansign). Often, the person holds up a sign or note with a message to the person receiving the fansign. Other times, the fan sign is done as a name via bodypaint. See here and here for some searches of related terms that might be helpful. They range from perfectly tame to rather risque. For the Life of Brian site, anything is pretty much acceptable . . . fans are fans and we love 'em.

I will continue to post fansigns here and in the fansigns gallery.

Feel free to contribute your own . . . yep, that's me . . . beggin' for fansigns. Pretty soon, I'm just going to have to start making my own.

Fansigns

We've had a few submissions to the Life of Brian FanSigns, feel free to send yours in as well.

Please be sure when you send in a fansign to email it to phillips@nccu.edu.tw. I do appreciate them - see http://briandavidphillips.typepad.com/brian/2004/03/fansigns.html for the basic information as well as the gallery link - it would be nice to have some from people I actually know as well as from regular readers of the blog - although I've certainly enjoyed the ones I have received for my blog so far. :-)

No, contrary to what seems to be popular belief . . . fansigns don't have to be nude and in fact for a number of folks I know, I'd strongly discourage any nude or even semi-nude photos anytime soon - that includes me. :-) Please keep the pubic fansigns at the G, PG-13, or R level with any naughty bits strategically or otherwise covered if you're going for risque. Adult-rated pieces will not be posted to the public folder and will only go to the private folders. Most folks just hold a sign up or something with a message.

Mostly, you should just have fun with it.

Thank you for the support.

FanSigns

Send in your FanSign photo for the Life of Brian FANSIGNS Gallery!

There is now a FanSigns album for Life of Brian in my Fotki folder. Just email your photo and message to me at phillips@nccu.edu.tw and I will upload your FanSign to the album.

The album is for various FanSigns or images of the like. FanSigns are self-portrait images with the name of the person you're fan-signing on a sign or bodypainted on the person. Fan Signs for this album need to have a sign or bodypaint of "Brian David Phillips" or "American Werewolf" or "Meiguolangren" or some variaton in English or Chinese - with or without a message. Just email your image to phillips@nccu.edu.tw and I will put it here (feel free to attach a note - not-very-nice notes will not be posted although naughty-and-nice ones will be). Multiple signs are okay. Have fun with it. I decide which images to put up, so make 'em good ones.

Adult-rated pieces will not be posted to the public folder and will only go to the private folders. The private album is password protected so you need to send a fansign to get access to the rest of that album (when your fansign goes up, I will email you the password).

If you are unfamiliar with fansigns, just do a websearch with the keywords fan sign, fansign or fansigns.

The comments to your fansign will point back to your webpage, profile, or email (IF you request it), otherwise, they will be kept confidential. If you have a fansign gallery, I will send a fansign to you when you send one to me.

Most folks just hold a sign up or something with a message. Mostly, you should just have fun with it. More information can be found here.
