LJ Idol 6.0 Topic Introduction
Oct. 12th, 2009 08:59 am(Since this is the 3rd time I have done the LJ Idol, I have decided to try a slightly different tact. If you care to read the previous editions of this entry they are here and here)
Kathleen David is a rather unique genetic experiment by her parents (but then aren’t we all?) that they have given their stamp of approval to. Her siblings got the same stamp of approval and were collectively known in Southeast Science Fiction fandom as the O’Shea Clan.
Kathleen has proven her skills in many arenas over the years. She has won awards for both her art and her costumes. She is a published author of a Doctor Who short story among other things. She is an Equity Stage Manager with a long list of credits and an MFA from the Yale School of Drama. She is a Master Puppeteer and Puppet Builder. She is a book editor among other jobs that she has had over the years. Her costumes have received both awards for workmanship and for the over all costume. The David Clan is well known at both Farpoint and Shoreleave for coming up with some really insane costumes that leave you will a smile on your face and a chuckle in your heart.
If you read her blog for a period of time, you can get a sense on how much family means to her. She is married to the writer Peter David and has three stepdaughters and one daughter. Recently the story changed greatly by Ariel, the youngest stepdaughter, going off for her first year of college leaving Caroline declaring that she likes her family of four better than her family of three. Caroline likes numbers a lot. Her daily web log has a lot about what the family is up to. But also contains her adventures with Peter and her other friends which can be quite fun indeed.
We hope you enjoy Kathleen’s entries in the LI Idol for 2009/2010 season and will continue to read even outside the entries. We give this blog a serious two thumbs up.
What other reviewers have said about Kathleen David (And she thanks them for their reviews)
Kath O'Shea David is a delightful blogger and even more delightful friend. While always overworked, she manages to always see the bright side of things and is a fantastic friend. She has a slightly dark sense of humor, but balances it with the making of puppets, something cheery and light. A Jim Henson fan, Kath pays homage to him in all of her glorious art work.
Perfectly complemented by her brilliant spouse, Kath is also the alpha female in a troop of lovely ladies, including the youngest slugger on the team who is being raised to be as awesome as her parents. An international and national traveler, Kath is someone welcome at any table for glorious stories and fascinating views on life, as well as a caring and generous heart.
Two thumbs way up.
Proposed Movie Trailer
...fade into looking at rows puppets from a point on the ceiling...
camera pans to Kathleen’s art wall...
...camera pans to the anthology laid on a table, the one which includes Kath’s short stories...
...camera follows to Caroline getting ready for school. A female voice calls from offsite. We can't hear what the voice is saying, but suffice to say it's probably something like "Are you ready?"
...camera pans back to the puppets...maybe something to do with DragonCon and/or Peter...back to the puppets...focuses in on a couple of the more interesting ones...
VOICE: This is only but brief glimpses of an extraordinary woman...
Kathleen O'Shea David. Special Limited Edition, only available in a particular part of Long Island. XYZ pages, with more being added as we speak. (Work in progress, w/ updates posted daily.)
