Whose Hands Are These?

Lots of friendly banter going on tonight on Twitter with one of the Twilight stars talking about having a manicure with acrylic nails and not being used to them. Believe me it’s not who you think. Details under the cut.

So what played out was a series of Tweets with none other than Billy Burke. Here’s how the sequence went down:

“Life in The “Shreve”: Work days- go to set, put on makeup, leather pants, more rings than Liberace, try to function wearing acrylic nails…”

“Days off- walk to casino, sit @ poker table, try not to lose money while deflecting stares, questions & comments about wearing acrylic nails”

“I’d post a pic but… ya know, don’t really wanna give too much away. But maybe. Stay tuned…”

“If i put up a pic of me with the nails, can i get some of ya’ll to help me with somethin? A lil’ booster project for what’s coming in June?” (we responded “name it” as did several other Twilight site operators, or words to that effect.)

“What a lovely response. You’re all lovely. Speaking of lovely, a pic of lovely manicure work done right here in lovely Shreve, comin’ up…”



no, that’s not a chick’s hand. it is indeed, mine.”

“So… as I’ve mentioned before, I’m droppin’ an album in June. U will ALL be getting a free download of one of the 1st singles if u want one”

“all u gotta do is sign up at my new website (coming soon). What I’d like to do before then is welcome in some new followers…”

“and ya know, give this thing a good ol’ grass roots fighting chance… If we can get to a million or so and give away let’s say…”

“…a few hundred thousand singles, we got a good shot at shakin’ up the labels and the suits. Sound like fun?”

” promise it won’t be what’s expected. I realize the bad taste it can leave in your mouth when an actor decides to take a musical ego trip..”

“Anyway to re-cap: web address coming very soon, album release (tentatively) June 22, recruits and recruiters much appreciated. Much Love -bb”
