Geo RR Martin's recent journal post demonstrates why many passages are scorching hot in his Song of Ice & Fire series. He's again discussing clues provided to readers in order to decipher the identity of players chosen for latest roles to be cast...
And it did not take you very damn long to figure out the second role as well.
The part of Shae, the camp follower that Bronn the sellsword finds before the battle of the Green Fork and delivers to Tyrion Lannister, will be played by the amazing SIBEL KEKILLI.
Shae needs no introduction to any Ice & Fire reader, I would imagine. If you've forgotten her, you obviously weren't paying attention, so get off the internet at once and go and reread the books. There may be a pop quiz.
Sibel Kekilli is a German actress of Turkish descent, who crashed onto the film scene in a big way in 2004 in an award-winning film called HEAD-ON, after being discovered by the casting director while shopping in a mall in Cologne. She's won both the Bambi Prize (the deer) and the Lola Award (cherry cola, L-O-L-A Lola, and if you missed that clue, you obviously haven't been listening to enough Kinks). The Lola is the "German Oscar," and Sibel has actually won it twice. She's also won the Tribeca Award and the Golden Orange Prize.
I want to say a few words about her audition, which I thought was extraordinary. A lot of beautiful young women read for Shae. The scene they were reading was the first meeting between Shae and Tyrion, in his tent on the Green Fork the night before the battle. Shae is a camp follower, a prostitute, and she is, of course, coming on to Tyrion in a big way. There is a LOT of sexual heat in the scene, as written and as played. And all of our Shaes were sexy as hell. Watching them one after another would fog up anyone's glasses.
But there's another dimension to Shae as well. She's not as practiced and hardened at this as a more seasoned pro. There's still a girl next door quality to her, a sense of vulnerability, playfulness, and, yes, innocence. And it's that quality Tyrion responds to, that quality that brings him back to Shae, and drives all that follows. He knows what she is, consciously, but down deep he wants to believe that he has found another Tysha.
All of our Shaes were hot as hell. But only a handful of them captured that other quality, maybe three out of twenty, and Sibel was the standout. It's easy to see why she has won all those awards. Watching those auditions, any red-blooded male would want to take every one of our Shae candidates to bed. But Sibel made you fall in love with her as well.
She's going to be amazing. And I can't believe you figured out who she was so fast!
Mood: impressed<

Tweetosphere report: Not only the common squirrel has discovered Twitter, but also a gay guy working for GoT near the construction crew building Castle Black (somewhere outside Belfast). He's tweeting reports on 'hot riggers' taking their shirts off on schedule. Obviously he has his priorities - we have ours:) Naturally his definitely do not include us in any way. Here's one of his latest tweets..
>paul in belfast: "Got an e-mail today from "Bored local housewife 43. Looking for some hot action!"...I sent her my ironing." 3:18 PM Jul 26th via web<
haha...good one!

I love the idea of a cute red squirrel on Twitter (not the larger American grey species that's currently taking over our British red here in blighty). Actually that red squirrel brings back fond memories for me when I was carrying out conservation work in the North of England, where there's a red squirrel sanctuary. I was working on the beach doing some surveying work, which just happened to be a nudist beach (not that I partook of that particular hobby (not in our climate)but er..... let's just say there were a couple of hardy male souls out there who brought a bit of colour to my cheeks. I won't say any more, but the word squirrel and nuts spring to mind! Oh I did love the scenery that day. Actually I sat down with my rucksack, butties in one hand, flask of tea in the other and admired the view!!!!!I just wish I'd remembered my binoculars!!!!(Well I did say it was cold!
LOL...sounds as tho' it was quite a thorough nature study you conducted that day, Sue;)
You said the American grey squirrel is overtaking the red in the UK...has anyone started to call them 'GI Joes'...history repeating itself. haha
We see squirrels daily..a couple scamper up & down tall trees behind our house - have never seen a red one.
Love the fun tweets...they've forgotten other frequent squirrel activities like scratch,scratch,scratch or nibble, nibble OR their most notorious offense - bird feeder, bird feeder..climb,climb,clumb..swing,swing,swing.
There's a birdfeeder on a tree in front of the large bay window in our living room. DH took a video one day of a furry li'l guy - full body extended, hanging precipitously from the feeder as it swayed back & forth...the entire time the riding critter was scooping seed into it's pouches. Can't help but love them.
Hubby was determined to prevent the acrobat from stealing all the birdseed, so he devised all sorts of imaginative methods without any success. Started to refer to the bandit as Saddam the Squirrel:)
Actually I was supposed to be studying natter-jack toads (well that's may excuse and I'm sticking to it!)
The red squirrels are much smaller and cuter than the American grey which carries a virus which is killing all our natives off over here.
Now if only I could have persuaded Richard to come out of that gloomy sea in his speedos that would have been absolute bliss!!!!
Sue,
How did the American grey get there in the first place? Must be olympic swimmers to get across the pond with their short legs;) haha
Wouldn't be surprised if it was an experiment of some sort that went awry. Almost every year, many trees along the Mid-Atlantic region are infested with gypsey moths(not native to the US) that eventually defoliate the tree. Started as a scientific experiment for the silk industry BUT the insects were accidentally released. This Spring was the first in at least a decade that they didn't appear.
RiCrAr,
We can blame the Victorians for introducing the grey squirrel, darn them!
Glad to say that Richard is all home-grown!I wonder if he's partial to a few nuts? (and I don't mean us!)
Your post reminded me of a recent tweet exchange w/Lucas North. I'd informed him he had strong competition(including link) in the *intense stare* dept. from the user
'commonsquirrel' and he replied *Nuts*..*slow smile*.
Last few hours of voting to determine the hunky of the month:) As if there's any doubt.
Are you worried US fans might hold Porter indefinitely, if he's sent here on assignment? teehee...nice to dream, isn't it.
