I rather enjoyed doing this little squirrel by Vivid Stash. The tartan is called Stash Tartan and is registed in The Scottish Register of Tartans.

Who needs red squirrels when we can have tartan squirrels 😉

I am going to have nightmares from these ABBA avatars tonight. Did I hear someone say "uncanny valley"?

@Da01nSidhe The Uncanny Canyon wants a word.

alexanderhay, to Eurovision
@alexanderhay@mastodon.social avatar

Another year, another Eurovision. Here follows an increasingly inebriated series of shit-posts as I cover the most contentious contest in years.

Switzerland was a fluffy bore.

The host is plugging the Eurovision album and DVD, but you're not allowed to play the Dutch track. Your hi-fi will explode.

The runestone gag was tepid.

Will we be 'raving' about Slovenia's 'Raiven'? At the moment, it looks like she's playing Twister with her dancers, some of whom have turned up in their y-fronts.

And so, Croatia, with a song about 'Lasagna'. He'd better be painted in orange and hate Mondays.

alexanderhay,
@alexanderhay@mastodon.social avatar

Croatia's effort is like Rammstein having a fight with some New Romantics.

alexanderhay,
@alexanderhay@mastodon.social avatar

That's a lot of doilies.

alexanderhay,
@alexanderhay@mastodon.social avatar

Ooh, that was good! Croatia is precisely the sort of act that gets fucked over by the juries, though.

alexanderhay,
@alexanderhay@mastodon.social avatar

Georgia sounds and looks a lot like a sort of gestalt of every generic mid-tempo Eurovision power ballad.

Slimane is, apparently, huge in France. But he looks of average height here.

alexanderhay,
@alexanderhay@mastodon.social avatar

High drama, as Slimane serenades the cameraman.

alexanderhay,
@alexanderhay@mastodon.social avatar

Now he's singing at his microphone, but at a distance.

alexanderhay,
@alexanderhay@mastodon.social avatar

Slimane was technically very good, but that alone doesn't win zip.

@alexanderhay@mastodon.social avatar

And finally, Austria. Dressed for both a disco and a blizzard. OK, but nothing you haven't heard or seen before.

alexanderhay,
@alexanderhay@mastodon.social avatar

And that's it for this year's song contest/international incident. How are you all voting? I have a witch to crown.

alexanderhay,
@alexanderhay@mastodon.social avatar

It's all over now, bar the voting and the jury scandal.

alexanderhay,
@alexanderhay@mastodon.social avatar

Is it possible to desecrate your own corpse while still alive? The 'Abbatars' seem to prove it is possible. Good to see Conchita Wurst back, through. A legitimate star, like Abba themselves.

alexanderhay,
@alexanderhay@mastodon.social avatar

Here comes the Jury Vote, and the booing.

alexanderhay,
@alexanderhay@mastodon.social avatar

Here comes the public vote...

alexanderhay,
@alexanderhay@mastodon.social avatar

I wonder what the Netherlands would have got? Anyway, night-night!

@alexanderhay@mastodon.social avatar

One question - if is found not to have broken any law, does this not mean he's been cheated?

alexanderhay,
@alexanderhay@mastodon.social avatar

@Loukas @lorrden That depends on whether they act in good faith or not.

alexanderhay,
@alexanderhay@mastodon.social avatar

@lorrden Trusting the police by default is never a good idea. The EBU were just looking for excuses. The convenient absence of evidence would have any such case laughed out of court. This was a stitch up.

alexanderhay,
@alexanderhay@mastodon.social avatar

@Loukas @lorrden It's hardly self-interest to behave like this. The entire fiasco has backfired on the EBU disastrously.

alexanderhay,
@alexanderhay@mastodon.social avatar

@Loukas @lorrden I don't think their 'self-interest' is all that reliable. They have proven themselves both craven and incompetent.
