I have just received an email from people representing Sarah LaFleur informing me that the person owning the account @S_lafleur on Twitter whom many Sailor Moon and Ugly Betty fans had been talking to over the past few weeks is in fact an imposter.
I was very surprised by this as the user seems very legit with her replies to fans and also in the recent interview she did with Moonkitty.net (which I have naturally now taken down). This person is obviously very good at what they do and also very dedicated.
I have no idea if this person is just an overenthusiastic fan or is up to something more sinister but I must emphasise how serious identity theft is and ask that if you to are using another person's name (celebrity or not) for your username online you should change it. Misrepresentation can cause emotional pain but also affect professional relationships (this user had been tweeting other actors not just fans!).
I urge you all to block this account and say that if the real Sarah LaFleur is reading this that I am truly sorry for the stress this may be causing you and that your fans still love you and wish for a fast end to this ordeal.
Now for your peace of mind, I am absolutely 100% sure that all the other voice actor interviews are with the real, authentic, voice actors. With every single one I had gotten in touch with the voice actors via their official websites and conducted the interviews with email addresses that matched those on their sites. The interview with "Sarah LaFleur" was done purely on good faith via the Twitter account. She has no official site to compare email addresses and even then (and I'm seriously hitting myself right now for this big red flag) she used someone else's email address and claimed it to be her sister's (which was obviously hers). I should have been more suspicious but I guess I always like to look on the bright side of things and, like the rest of you who had spoken to her, was fooled.
I hope this episode doesn't affect your trust in myself, Moonkitty.net or the real Sarah LaFleur.
Hey guys! Was just answering a Moonie Mailbag question about Sailor Moon ripoffs (see my answer here) and was thinking while I think I listed all the big ones I'm sure I'm missing a few (or even heaps) of others.
So I put this to you: What do you think are the biggest Sailor Moon ripoffs?
Comment on this post. Let's start a discussion! What do you think about Sailor Moon ripoffs? Do you like any?
I asked Tokyopop on Twitter if there was any news on the Sailor Moon manga and this is their reply. Oh, well.
Here are some great new Sailor Moon card scans at Dreaming Moon!
The five main actresses from PGSM have all reunited! There have been reunions in the past but it's been a while since all five have met up. Great photo here! I kind of wish they would invite some of the other actors out like Tux and Luna. That would be really cool. Great, now I feel like rewatching Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon again!
I'll finish on a random Moonie find. Have you ever wanted a Sailor Moon golf cart? lol! Kind of reminds me of all the random Ninja Turtle toys that came out in the 90s.
Now this is some fansubbing that I can support! Miss Dream has started subbing the ANIMAX tv Sailor Moon interviews! Well done guys!
The official site has updated with a new manga chapter. I wonder what will happen once Stars has been animated? Just in time for the anniversary!
Found some great Sailor Moon colouring in pages here!
Here's a preview of the 5th episode of the best Sailor Stars fandub ever!
Finally some big news. I've landed two very cool interviews which I will be posting soon! One with a Sailor Moon singer and one with a Sailor Scout Voice Actress! Stay tuned Sailor Moon fans!
Thought I'd go for a bit of a different Sailor Moon music video this week. Am on a huge DiC vibe right now so thought I'd feature a video with the classic song My Only Love sung by Jennifer Cihi from the epic episode A Crystal Clear Destiny.
I like how this whole video actually summarises the episode the song appeared in and again I love the inclusion of the voices at several points. Really nice touch.
Hey there! Having a good week! Mine's going pretty well! Thank you everyone for all the understanding emails and tweets! I've never seen such an understanding community online before it's absolutely fantastic! I know I've been busy lately and updates have slowed (or maybe that's just in my head as I have so much I want to do) but I just scored a new job which I start in two weeks which has super hours, freeing up my afternoons for site updates once again! Yeah! Also got a few long weekends coming up so will be sure to sit down and do some biggish site updates soon.
Speaking of the site I just realised the other day that Moonkitty.net will be turning 11 years old next month! That's so crazy! Seems just like last week that I had updated to this current layout to celebrate 10 years online! Very humbling though to see that there are Sailor Moon sites that have been online even longer like Serenitatis.com which is turning 13 years old!!! Sailor Moon really is eternal!
The Sailor Moon anime is back in Italy (check out this video) and they've been given the remastered picture! This is looking pretty good for any possible English release getting the new masters as well though it would be hard to use them in the first two seasons as with the edits made and the cool 3D transitions (which I loved!) the audio wouldn't be able to be used with them. S and SuperS though could easily be rereleased with the English dub and new picture quality. Something to think about.
I will be switching the blog posts on Moonkitty.net from Blogger to Wordpress this week so if you're looking at the posts you may see some layout glitches or possibly some broken links. ALL of the posts will be converted so nothing will be lost though it's possible the URL (web address) of some of the posts will change.
Just a heads up.
Once the conversion is complete, making comments should be a lot easier and faster. Any non-blog-post page on Moonkitty.net shouldn't be affected at all. Fingers crossed the transition happens smoothly!!!
Realised my review for the second Japanese DVD Box Set didn't upload properly so just fixed it and uploaded it here.
I know I few of you have been asking for it so hope you find it useful and enjoy the screencaps and photos (I really need to get a digital camera).
In other site news I'm happy to announce my affiliation with ReiHino.net!
Speaking of affiliation I've completely rewritten the Affiliate Application Info Page to be more specific. Plus I added a cute image of a Luna plush! ;)
I have been flat out with work and am in the middle of a 14 day work marathon so have postponed announcing the winner of the PGSM CD + Book competition until around the 18th. I want to do something special for the announcement and just don't have the time right now to do that. Hope you understand!
The Sailor Moon Roundup and Moonie Music Monday combine once again until my work schedule eases up a bit (late March).
I suppose the big news this week was the rumours of Sailor Moon returning to Latin America but as of this writing nothing has been confirmed though official parties are interested in bringing it back.
Thee-Lights.net has some fantastic scans worth checking out! Tuxedo Mirage baby!
A Fruitful Spring has some more PGSM reunion info! Great to see the cast are still friends!
Ayaka502 continues to translate Ayaka's blog for all the English speaking fans. Great work!
BSSMLA (a fantastic site by a great owner) is in the middle of a revision. Can't wait to see what happens!
The Official Site has updated with a new layout for March featuring a cool image of Moon and Mini Moon with braided hair! Actually not sure if I'd seen this image before. Very cool. They've also updated the image page and the character info page.
The Sailor Moon Abridged Movie is online and is pretty funny. Scary how well Sailor Mars' final line suits the scene. lol.
And finally the second Sailor Moon S DVD Box is up for pre order. And speaking of the boxes I just realised my review of the second box didn't upload properly! Will fix it tomorrow morning when I have more time!
