I’m doin’ lunch with Dean (aka Mr. Producer Man) this Wednesday at P.F. Chang’s to finish up the proposal for the Count and to iron out ideas for the show. I’m psyched! I’m really feeling positive about this crazy plan, I’m thinking I’m *this* close to pulling it off. I’ve never gotten so far on any of my other crazy plans, and so far this one is my absolute favorite.

There are also some important issues that Dean and I need to figure out, such as who to approach to sponsor the show. My Uncle Bud had a good idea; keeping the whole thing very German. I like that idea because the first two companies to spring to mind are Lufthansa and of course BMW. That would make me very happy indeed. If Dean okays that, I’m going to head straight out to my local BMW dealership and see if there’s anything they can do for me. If nothing else, I’ll at least get my ceremonial test-drive done of a Z4, X5, and a new 3-series. I saw a Z4 driving home from picking up my brother from school today – it came up behind me in all of its pewtery-goodness. Mmmm. That’s definitely a swoon-worthy roadster. If the Count adopts me, the show gets going, and all of this really takes off, a Z4 will be my first Congratulations present to myself (once I can afford it, of course, and I’m actually in one place long enough to own a car). After all, every good little Princess should have a sports car that screams of style, sophistication, and undeniable power. Now the only question is do I want it in pewter or black… Honestly, I didn’t like black at first, but after driving a black Z4 around for ten days, I got quite attached to it. It’s so sleek looking; dangerous, even. There’s just a different feeling from driving a black car, especially a black BMW. There’s just something about it that’s so different from anything else. In the case of the Z4, it was kind of like driving the Batmobile, in a good way…

I’ve also come to two other decisions regarding the TV Show. The first is, I really want Josh Agle to do the artwork for the title sequence (yeah, like that would happen… but hey, it’s a nice dream). And, in my little dream world, all of this lovely Josh Agle art will be set to an original song by David Bowie. Why David Bowie? Because I realized that when I was really little and I first saw “Labyrinth”, I thought that dress that Jennifer Connelly wore in the whole “As The World Falls Down” sequence was about as close as a girl could get to being a Princess – big poofy dress, dancing with some weird looking guy, and having the world’s biggest hairdo ever. Yup, to me when I was three, that was the perfect image of a Princess. And therefore, wouldn’t it be just too cute to have David Bowie do the theme song? Again, not going to happen, but it’s fun to think about.

Anyway. That’s my update for the moment, I didn’t mean for this to turn into a drool-fest over BMWs again and dream musings, but oh well. It’s my blog, and I can do what I want with it. 🙂
