It really, really makes me want to watch all the source material, because that is a collection of awesome women.

Multifandom: Girl for all Seasons

Speaking of awesome fandoms, this has so much. SO MUCH. Including Girl Fight and D.E.B.S. I would like to see more vids about those two fandoms.

Multifandom: One Girl Revolution

Women kicking ass, and writing, and creating things, and hugging, and saving the world, and dancing, and boxing, and shooting things, and, god, this is like every single thing I like about women in my media. It's glorious.

Omg, I was just thinking I wanted someone to vid to "Girl for All Seasons." Yeah, it was totally sweet.

Cool! I'm so glad I found it in time to show it to you while you wanted a vid to that song. I haven't heard it before, but I really love it.

I actually quite love "One Girl Revolution" and now want to write a story to it, particularly the line "Some people see the revolution but most only see the girl".

I like a lot of what Northern State puts out, though they're intensely awesome live. "Iluvitwhenya" and "Oooh Girl" in particular.

Good God, who is the hot brunette in the awesome red dress and cool twisty hair? She was in two of those vids, and I must know more.

I don't know, but she caught my eye, too, and I am dying to know. I intend to sit down sometime this weekend and try to figure it out, because I need more of her in my media consumption!

Okay, as far as I can tell, those are probably scenes from BBC's Merlin, which more than likely makes the hot brunette with the awesome red dress and cool twisty hair Katie McGrath who plays Morgana. I can't find stills of that exact scene, but I think I'm right.

Okay, so right show, wrong woman. It would help if IMDB had actual pictures of the female actors and characters.

Per more research and this photo: http://www.broadcastnow.co.uk/images/michelle_ryan_merlin_resized_150_tcm19-1973148.jpg it is Michelle Ryan who plays Nimueh and is incredibly gorgeous. I think I need to watch this show, between Ryan and McGrath and Angel Coulby, who plays Gwen.

You wouldn't happen to have an alternate link to Girl for all Seasons because I can't get it to load for me.
