An interesting Bertie reference

[erynn999.livejournal.com]

I saw a reference from someone yesterday to a novel/movie Breakfast on Pluto, about an Irish trans woman. I'd never heard of it before and so I went looking for a little info, and what should I find but this gem:

Pussy's politician lover in the novel becomes a glam rock musician played by Gavin Friday with whom Kitten may or may not have had a sexual relationship, and Pussy's lover Bertie Wooster becomes magician Bertie Vaughan (Stephen Rea), with whom Kitten has an unrequited flirtation. Liam Neeson plays the priest that Braden believes is her biological father, a character renamed Father Liam, although a number of reviews erroneously call him Father Bernard, as in the book.

And I wondered why Jeeves hadn't stepped in and scooped up the young master for his own already.

I don't . . . . I can't . . . bwuuh??

I don't know if I'm more confused that Bertie went on to become a stage musician (specializing in making silver cow creamers disappear, perhaps?) or that there's a character named Pussy and one named Kitten in the same book.

*looks at Wikipedia* Okay, they're the same person . . . that makes more sense. Sort of.

Yeah, the paragraph was concerning differences between the book and the movie. Still, much brain-breaking to go around.

I read that as "pussy lover Bertie Wooster."

And then I was like, "BOY do they have the wrong Bertie Wooster."
