GOT ME LOOKIN’ SO CRAZY RIGHT NOW

Guys, Crazy in Love is 10 years old today, and it’s time to celebrate with some very appropriate Edith with Googly Eyes. (Also because Laura Carmichael is a self-professed Beyonceholic. She’s one of us!)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CRAZY IN LOVE, ONE OF THE TOP THIRTY SONGS OF OUR TIME, AT LEAST:

“Lie is so unmusical a word.” I love you, Dowager Countess, but I believe Beyonce and Shakira might prove you wrong.

This video is my LIFE right now. More Beyonce / Destiny’s Child / Downton Abbey goodness coming your way soon. I promise. (It’s difficult finding funny meme pairings in episodes dominated by mourning, ok?)

In the meantime, here is a gif guide to 47 of Beyonce’s Best Dance Moves.

IT’S A NEW YEAR, ALL. Here’s to a future onslaught of S3 posts, now that I won’t have to worry about potential spoilers for people living in different parts of the world!

Ok, not Downton-related, but it’s MIRANDA, and I feel like any Brit-Beyonce crossover is relevant enough for this tumblr.

This, my friends, is NYMag’s Sarah Frank dressed AS DOWNTON ABBEYONCE for NYC’s fourth annual HallowMeme costume party a few nights ago. New York, I know that probably half of you is out of power because of le hurricane, but your awesomeness will never fade. (And Sarah, if you’re reading this - you just made my week.)

Downton Abbey Impressions - Downstairs at Downton
by Luke Kempner

Every Downton Abbey fan must watch this and listen to these character impressions. It’s absolutely magical and hysterical and wonderful and amazing. Please spare a few minutes of your time to watch it and spread the word. It really is that good.

WORD. SERIOUSLY. (But WARNING - there are Series 3 spoilers!)

Also, apologies for the inadvertent hiatus recently…without giving too much away, some of the episodes for S3 have been quite ponderous, and it is hard to find moments that can be made light of WITHOUT revealing too much for those not watching on the UK schedule. But I’ll figure it out, I promise.

Now: WATCH. Or bookmark this video link IN YOUR MIND so that you can watch it whenever you’re midway through S3.

“I win ALL the awards, and I wear tiaras to dinner parties. Suck it, peasants.”

Informal Announcement!

Thu, 20 Sep 2012 20:24:56 -0700

As most of you know, Downton Abbey S3 has already commenced in some parts of the world (the UK) (HOORAY). I’ll be updating the tumblr with some images here and there from S3 (probably a few days after the new episodes air), but I promise not to post anything TOO revealing regarding any new characters, major events, etc. (I’m thinking more along the lines of a badass photo of Dame Maggie and Shirley MacLaine being “diva is a female version of a hustla”s side by side — that sort of thing.) I’ll also tag the new stuff with “spoilers” and “downton abbey s3” if you’re on tumblr and want to block those posts temporarily.

HAPPY DOWNTONING!

A musical guest appearance from our good friend JT, because this is just. too. good. The best part is how Mary nods and smiles in affirmation, as if to say “Truth. Matthew IS bringing sexy back. JUST IN TIME FOR THE UK S3 PREMIERE on Sunday.”

(But seriously, who originally made this gif? I need to credit you properly for your brilliance!)

I've seen Downton Abbeyonce mentioned in a few articles and interviews concerning Downtown Abbey, but has Beyonce or anyone from her camp said anything about this awesome blog!?!?!

Sat, 04 Aug 2012 10:23:00 -0700

Not that I know of, but I would probably die if they had! My closest personal contact with Beyonce so far has been via the BarackObama.com mailing list:

…which I thought was pretty cool in and of itself, because TECHNICALLY, she did address me by name. I’d like to think that the highly personal nature of this email means I’m next in line to babysit Blue Ivy, right?

I miss your hilarious Beyonce/Downton Abbey mashups....hope everything's going okay in your life, and if not, hope whatever's going on gets better soon!

Anonymous, you are truly a kind soul. But don’t worry - I simply have had an insanely packed schedule for the past couple of months, leading into an onslaught of final exams - Downton Abbeyonce is but on a brief hiatus! Planning to resume more regular posts later this month, as there are PLENTY of ideas and submissions that still need to make their way up.

Thank you all for your patience (and love of Downton Abbey + Beyonce songs)! Happy summer!
