Meaningful Acquisitions of Uranium Glass for a Vampire Boys Day Shooting “Undead, but Cool”
The Federal Office for Magical Creatures’ Equal Opportunities and Sects Commissioner and his husband (the monster with whom the unfortunate BAfmW employee is “blessed”) indulged in a quiet evening in front of the television. Horst Lichter’s “Bares für Rares” flickered across the screen. A set of wine glasses and a decanter made of uranium glass, which luminesces under black light, was shown.
At the office, the next fantasy shoots are being planned, under the motto “Undead, but cool”, a Werewolf Vampire Boys Day or Night is being planned in the Gothic chapel at the old cemetery in Bonn. With the help of various props and the support of a competent make-up artist, several male adolescents will be staged among the old graves and in the Gothic chapel.
The unfortunate victim saw the glasses and took a breath to make a constructive suggestion. Always in the service of photography, magic, and fatherland – of course.
Baroque Mirror Made of Uranium Glass
Monster: “No!”
Victim: “But I haven’t said anything yet!”
Monster: “You don’t have to. When you take a breath like that, it gets expensive, and something useless ends up in our house!“
Victim:” It’s not useless.“
Monster:” But expensive!” I knew it! You’re not getting glowing uranium glass wine glasses. Forget it!“
Victim:” Oh, I don’t even want them – calm down!“
Monster (alarmed):” What are you brewing?“
Victim:” I have an idea….“
Monster:” You’re scaring me….“
Victim:” We have those two big baroque frames that I gave to a glazier so he could make semi-transparent mirrors out of them. The glass will be sandblasted from behind, and then he’ll back it with blacklight LED strips to make the glass for the shoots… you know.“
Monster:” I don’t know anything about that!“
Victim:” Did I forget to tell you?“
Monster: *Grrrrrrrr**
Victim:” Oopsie….” It doesn’t matter, you know now. I wonder if we couldn’t use uranium glass for the mirrors instead of LED strips. Lit with our blacklight projectors, the vampire boys in their gothic clothes with UV lenses, white fangs placed appropriately in front, and our large candelabras with many candles….“
Monster (panicked):” What large candelabras with many candles? We don’t have anything like that?“
Victim:” Yes, we do. Eight pieces, one meter high, with five arms. It was a bargain!”
Monster: “Where did you get them?”
Victim: “Barbara recommended them to me.”
Barbara Frommann photographs for the Federal Office for Magical Creatures and is practically an inexhaustible source of good ideas. To the monster’s dismay.
Monster: “She’s getting banned! And you’d better take your Ritalin!“
Victim:” I’ve never taken Ritalin! That makes you dull and dampens creativity.”
Monster: “YOU should take it so MY nerves are spared!”
Luminescent Mirrors in Baroque Frames, Uranium Glass, and a Set of Candelabras are Always Useful.
Addendum: Today, inquiries were made with the German Glass Industry Association and various glass museums about which glassworks could produce suitable mirror glass based on uranium glass for the Sprungbrett BAfmW photo shoots. The initial responses were promising.
