Pick a Side! Team Vampire Lumberjack or Team Werewolf Bootlegger?

 

Author-duo extraordinaire Moira Rogers wants to know which is awesomest, Vampire Lumberjack or Werewolf Bootlegger?  In fact, they are hosting a contest at their website and asking bloggers to weigh in on all the potential awesomeness that could happen with these two characters!  The contest is in honor of Sanctuary Unbound (releasing today) which features said Vampy Lumberjack and A Safe Harbor (releasing July 13^th) featuring a sly Wolfie Bootlegger.  Admittedly, I had to think about this one.  If given the simple choice of Vamp vs. Wolfie, I would probably go Vamp.  To me, Vamps just ooze sex appeal.  I picture perfectly quaffed hotties that stepped right out of GQ.  But when you throw in such unique professions…how does one decide?  Well, when I make life-altering, earth-moving decisions like this one, I often draw from past experiences.  What do I know about lumberjacks?  Often tall, burly, have affinity for plaid flannel, like to treat logs like treadmills, like nature (ick).  Do I find this hot? Eh, maybe.  Okay, what experience do I have with lumberjacks?     …Not much.  In fact, the only thing that comes to mind is Will Ferrell in Step Brothers.  “I have traveled 500 miles to give you my seed! Rawrrrr!”   See video below. 

Don’t get me wrong, I adore Will Ferrell.  But do I want a Will Ferrell lumberjack love scene? Nope.  Moving on.  What comes to mind for Bootleggers? Pinstripe suits, wingtip shoes, Speakeasies, Moonshine, drinking inside or on secret Speakeasy balconies.  Now this I can work with!  What experience do I have with Bootleggers?  Well, Brad Pitt was a bootlegger in Legends of the Fall. 

Yummmm.  It’s kind of hard to separate Bootleggers from Mobsters, so let me brainstorm those as well.  And Warren Beatty (Vintage Warren of course) played Bugsy Seagle. 

Yummmm.  Johnny Depp played John Dillinger (it’s a stretch I know, but I should get bonus points for finding a way to get Johnny Depp in a post about Bootleggers and Lumberjacks!!). 

 Yummmm.  Yep, I think the choice is clear here.  I am Team Werewolf Bootlegger! Bring on the pinstripes!  (No need to remind me of James Gandolfini, Joe Pesci, or any other fug mobster.  I am perfectly happy with my selective memory and extreme shallowness!)
