Thank you for an awesome year!

The magic of the Buffy world is amazing! I remember how many sites from the Buffy universe and Jossx Whedon-verse shared my site when I decided to launch the site on December 2016.  I didn't have Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc and of course, no suscribers - it was way too soon for that!- It's been so awesome how all the Buffy and Whedon groups welcomed my Lorne and Andy posts. It was all based on this site. I'm so thankful and blessed because I always felt so welcomed. Check how far I've come, might be not much but to me it's a lot more than I ever expected Visitors to the site in 12 months 67 followers on Instagram 270 followers on Twitter 270 fans on Facebook 17 suscribers on 2017. Hope you have enjoyed this year with me and hoping you will be with me on the new year ahead. Thanks for all the joy and light you gave me! See you next year.

The (perfect) portrait of Andy.

I'm not the kind of girl to moan about things, I'm not even keen to repeat one things or give lectures about anything. In this corner of mine I consider to go back in time and explain why I do the things I do. Let my heart speak, let those little unresolved things in me out and also thank the Lord and Universe I have come this far and reached this point. One of the most amazing things ever in all this time is when I randomly get the chance to know one of those stories that are now part of the insights of all the cons Andy attended. Those that have become legend. Some of which I have seen some photos of.  And then, I wish I could have been there. All those memories you are so kind to share are now part of me and help me to have a fair view of who Andy was . You know, it's something like whe you are doing a puzzle and you are trying to put together all the pieces and with each one of them it's little part of Andy that you fill in to build the perfect -if that can

Let me Introduce you ...

... to Andy Hallett This is the funny name I chose for this special event, a day to celebrate that 18 years ago Hush was first released (Decemeber 14th). Since the moment I knew and saw Andy was an extra at the episode of Season 4. I admit that I see it now with with a slightly different colour. Season 4 of Buffy is actually one my favourite seasons of Buffy. I always thought her relationship with Angel kind of toxic and purely romantic and intense, but harmful. In this season she finally gets some different love interest and though there are many opinions about if Riley was good or not for Buffy, the truth is that he helped her to go through the tortuous path of forgetting the love of her life because they can't be together... Next December 30th, Saturday, at 1.30pm UK time , we are watching and commenting this episode the site. This would be so much fun and the kickstart will be my Twitter Live (Only Twitter, this time!) showing the exact moment and point whe

New Feauture- Photo of The Month!

Over the past two months I have been going through many photos of Andy thanks to Flickr- how I love that place!- and I have decide that I need to share somewhere my favourite photo of the moment. There are so many I love and I keep changing all the time! I plan to this every month so make sure to check the site regular. ๐Ÿ™‚ I am sure that some of you would have memories on this event or day, so feel free to share anything on the site! This particular one has been a fave of mine from the very first moment I saw it. You know, for any Buffy and Angel fan , like me, this photo is just the zenit of both shows in one wide world.  Yes, I know Faith was on Angel, but Lorne and Faith never got to interact much so this is like they have build something beautiful off-screen.

My friend Dee tributes Lorne

There are many ways to tribute Andy and Lorne. I try to do some over here but I'm always thrilled to find when someone cosplays Lorne these days. My friend Dee does some awesome cosplays, some of which has become legend . She gets the clothes done for her and takes part in many cons. This is a fun and awesome way to tribute Lorne and not let the flame fade. Enjoy some of the photos of her amazing work: I know there are more people there still doing Lorne cospalys these days, so If you want to share yours, you know what to do: drop me a line! Looking forward to get some more cosplays soon. He was so special and unique, it has to be shared, told and known by everyone.

Song of the Month: Pump It Up

I know you have never heard of this song before but this has now become my favourite. Andy's voice in there it’is just awesome! Just for this day, for this month, this video and song might be double at the site but I’m way too excited to have this new song in Youtube (Thanks to Angelo Panetta, I own my life for this!) to forget it easily. So let me get a bit emotional in here, but I would have never thought of this before. Since Andy has “bumped” into my life he has done big impact and still does. This song helps me in my daily life to get through all kind of problems and gives me the light I need when I need it. Have a listen, if you haven’t before, and let me know what you think. More info about the song here . Watch the Video pn Youtube Here  Thanks for visiting, commenting and reading. Ginny xx P.S. Make sure not to miss tomorrow's event: Spin in The Bottle Anniversary Week. All info on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.

My Tribute, My Therapy

I can't believe it's been a year since all started for me. A year ago I remember I was watching Season 3 of Angel for the first time. Since then, there has not been a day I haven't watched an episode of Angel. I still can't get enough of all of it. All this year has been a wonderful year of discovering an amazing person and incredibly talented man.That man that I discovered a year ago. A year ago when I started this blog and tribute page was almost my birthday. Happy Birthday to me, must have said life. Let me introduce you to someone that will change your life forever. How on time, you damned! Along this year I have cried so many times, I have laugh so hard, I have dreamed so high,I have hoped and done so many things. My mind has always been a beehive of ideas and projects: some have come real and some others are waiting the right moment to see the light. I have met some nice people. I have dreamed sometimes about Andy. Some maybe because I made it h

[EXCLUSIVE] Pump It Up: Andy's last Song! (Never Released)

Remember when I last told you about "Andy's Las Secret" ? There was so much more to tell about this. Some exciting news for all Andy Hallett's fans. I am so excited to share this with you that I can't hardly type in here!! If you have visited my site and followed me a bit over the past months you will know by now that one of the projects in which Andy was involved as an actor (voice actor, to be honest) was never released. This is a project that it never got enough funds to get finished so sadly the acting part of Andy we are going to miss it this time.  Thanks to the musical director of Geppetto's Secret we have this new song, never released and now available for all. He uploaded on Youtube and there it is, for all Andy fans! I'm so excited about this, I am very high on hopes that anything I try it's gonna give some little suprises.... like this. I can't wait to know this song by heart! If you want to know anyth

“Andy was so fun to listen” - Kimberley

"It was back in 2003, my first convention, it was held in Blackpool, and it was huge, or huge for then anyway, probably around 2500 people. Andy was only doing that photoshoot with him in make up on the one day, so poor guy was there for hours doing it.  When I got there it was my first photo shoot so I was nervous, but he was so relaxed and made a comment about the jacket, and well I knew nothing about American sport, but ah well he didnt mind, and we had the photo.  The talks however were the best part. Him, Brody and Mark just bounced off each other. I remember Andy showing his tattoo, and somehow giving away a shoe, just the one shoe!  I remember a story Charisma told, about how Andy came to her place with a pair of shoes for her, cos he was out and thought she would like them. Andy was so fun to listen to, and when he would sing too." Kimberley (England). He was so special and unique, it has to be shared, told and known by everyone.

What smooths my heart ๐Ÿ’š

Nothing smooths more me than following my heart. ๐Ÿ’š What smooths my heart, ease my life, brighten my soul... 1- As weird as it sounds; Country music. Lately I have been following some Country artists. It is weird because I don't have any American roots or family in there (as far as I know). Watch the video here 2- Andy's giggles . I do resist to let go him completely. His giggles make me so good 3- Yesterday I watched again Some time, some place . It warms my heart to see Buffy and Willow's friendship . That's true frienship, one of a kind, as rare as true love. 4- Deep warm hug from lifetime buddy, my husband ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿ’‘ 5- Good movie with some soda and some popcorn ๐Ÿฟ 6- Good music and a good music (took me almost 36 years to find this was so true!)๐Ÿ“—๐ŸŽถ 7- Andy's voice.  Watch the video here 8- A good glass of wine ๐Ÿท 9- Endless hours with my eyes watching the sea waves ๐ŸŒŠ 10- Watching the stars ๐ŸŒ  in the silence of the n

What If This would have happened?๐Ÿ˜ฎ

Season 3, Episode: Tomorrow. Lorne's leaving Angel ๐Ÿ˜ญ If this CD could have come real and we would have these cover versions by Lorne, it could have been a very good start to have a very successful career as a singing demon -in and outside the small screen. And from there, (maybe) Andy's career would have gone through the roof and we'd have (maybe) at least one more record on his own. That'd have been so awesome!๐Ÿ’š That little fact would have change the music. I mean, just little, because Andy would have given a different colour to this whole world. I can even tell you that I, personally, would have payed some attetion -earlier attention- to someone with such a unique voice. ๐Ÿ˜ I still wonder, where are all those songs he did with his friend John Allen- was this his name at all? - ? could we get a little sneak peek of the songs of the never-released Geppetto's Secrect? Does anyone is really hiding (unintentionally, of course) anything from us? Wou

The day everything changed 17 years ago

Yesterday was the 17th Anniversary of Judgement episode's first aired. 17 years ago we would all have the chance to meet our favourite green skinned demon, Lorne . He was introduce into the world of Bufffy and Joss Whedon. That day I'm sure Andy have thought about it while he was around us: how people would feel him warm in his heart though he was meant to be a temporary character, he ended up being a regular and one of the favourite among the fandom (even today, 17 years later!). Yesterday we had a little party over the social networks but since it was a week day I couldn't be online much. However, I took my little break and watched the episode for a millionth time, I made my own little tribute... hoping you like it! I bless this day for the chance you had to show the world your voice. ๐Ÿ’š Later on, we would discover what a unique heart and soul you were. Still miss you but still your light with guiding my path. ๐ŸŒŸ 17 years ago today, this episode was

This Is Me - Song of the Month

Nothing to do with Andy, but if you read me regular, you know that for some reason this song will be connected. Camp Rock is one of my favourite movies. This kind of things didn't happen when I was a kid, or at least, we didn't  get any in my country. Everytime I watch this movie (as well as High School Musical , though I prefer Camp Rock) it would remind me of my dreams when I was a teen, it would remind me of my love for music and everything connected with it. Just like this song would speak to the lethargic artist in me, Andy would remind me of all this and why I used to love the whole thing so much. Just like Andy did and still does, this song speaks all about my dreams and the person I hope I'll be someday. Maybe you feel the same, or maybe not. What I know for sure is Andy is the meaning of light and music that would speak to my heart and soul. What you think about this song and movie? What song reminds you of Andy?. Thanks for your comments! I very

Be a Sister Site

I know there are so many sites, Twitter places, forums and Facebook Pages that can connect with the Buffyverse and Whedonverse. I would need a day with 72 hrs to explore all, shame I can't ! I thought this time I would ask you a little favour. Maybe you own a site, or you know a site (Facebook page, group, Twitter profile, forum etc), so please recommend them this, so we would exchange links and share posts, events or anything they do, I do. Mainly share the love of the Whedonverse. Be a Sister Site is just this. Now it has a very little section, with a couple of links but I would like to be bigger and get more into all this amazing universe, and even make it its own page on the main menu!๐Ÿ’š I'm hoping that you can email me some places and recommendatios . Looking forward to this! ๐Ÿ˜€

Twists of life.

This was the best summer ever... or so I thought so. It would have been a really nice summer if some events never happenned in my country. It did screw up the end of some really nice summer time. I swear it was going great. One of the best summers in many years. Music  is again constant in my laptop and phone - not much of it before my whole world turned upside down. I really feel that, as Giles would say, the Earth is doomed.  Me, for a change, just pretending to send in some light in all people lives, sharing some of that sparkle that Andy brought to mine. I do feel Andy close to me. I have been feeling him all summer long. I do know I am not alone in this new path I've just taken. Yet all the feedback I have received from some you helps to keep fighting to keep the Andy Hallett legacy alive and fresh by this site, and with all your help. Sometimes life gets hard but I keep fighting because I know it's worth everything I do in here. My heart just feel

A year ago today

I can't tell you what I was doing a year ago today. I know I was on my summer holidays trying to rest from the whole stress of work but I can't tell more. But I remember that a year ago today I first watched Buffy, the Vampire Slayer (the whole series) for the first time. I got the whole insights of Spike for the first time (that was the reason I watched some episodes back in the day - together with Dawn). And after that my husband convinced me to give Angel (the Series) a chance. You can tell by what I do now that I am more than glad I did, despite the first 3 episodes I was kind of "WTF is this?". But Doyle's death was heartbreaking and afterwards when Wesley joined I was hoping a good adition but it surprised me so much the whole evolution of him and Cordelia. Then later on, it was almost October when we got into Season 2. But Season 3 was the one I got absoluteky hooked by Lorne. When we started watching Season 4 I was like a kid waiting to

My Summer Hits (Choose your fave one)

When I first  thought of this I was sure it wasn't going to be Despacito (Man, I hate that song!) or any other song that you may have heard a million times this summer, but definitely it was the song that for unexpected reasons has reached my heart and will also remind me of Andy somehow. I never knew of this song nor of the artist before. This lady that I met through Instagram sent me a video of Andy with this song. I looked in Youtube and as she said, it fit Andy so perfectly so I thought I would use it for Andy's birthday video.  Now everytime I listen to that song it would remind me of him and play it non-stop to feel him close to me. Watch Final Song by Mร˜ here This other song is a new song that it was released this summer.  It's one upbit and positive song from one of my favourite singers and after the hectic year I had, I felt I need some of happy upbit to counteract the tears. From the first moment I listen to this song I knew it was the son

What an awesome Lorne Marathon!๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Last month I had the chance to enjoy of the first Lorne marathon, one that I organized through this site, Twitter and Facebook. It was an awesome experience that would love to repeat soon! Two days that we shared our love for Lorne, comment on the episode and also shared our love for Andy. I have to confess it was a very inspiring  weekend and as I mentioned before, I will repeat again soon next month of September. Here are some moments of that weekend... Make sure to suscribe to this site and  get events reminders as well all the blog posts, If you have already did, you must receive my reminders monthly about the events coming up, so stay tune!๐Ÿ™‚ Thanks for checking and reading๐Ÿ˜ƒ See you soon!

“He came across as someone really warm and fun”- Saltygoodness

I came up with this story while googling as usual for a Andy pic. I found some great pix and the story behind them. So this one from a lady named Saltygoodness from her blog. Enjoy the photos and the story. Another little insight of our dear Andy. Originally posted on October 2 2005 – Andy at the Milton Keynes (UK). “Wow! I can't believe it still, but yesterday I met Nick Brendon, Andy Hallett , Kelly Donovan, Adam Busch and William Shatner!!!! I thought I'd blog about it so I wouldn't forget any of it! [I will only share the Andy Hallett one, though] PART 1: Autographs I headed up to the Collectormania event at Milton Keynes, arriving for about 11.30. I wasn't quite sure what to expect, having never been to one of these things before, and discovered when I got there that it wasn't actually a convention, but rather a huge market of sellers with various cult items for sale - figures, posters, comics etc, all in a large space in the centre
