Freak show


I went to see the documentary, I Think We're Alone Now, last night at the film festival and holy shit it was incredible.

It follows Jeff Deane and Kelly McCormick who both stalk 80's pop icon Tiffany.

Deane suffers from Aspergers and therefore naturally lacks in social skills so you do feel a little harsh at times but you soon get over it as the dude is pure comedy gold. He's built a pyramid thing in his lounge which he connects with cords to a converted bike helmet (pictured) which has crystals on it to communicate with Tiffany... hmmm. Tiffany's Playboy shoot was also a personal message to Deane that she loves him.

He insists that he and Tiffany are in love with each other and that they have a strong friendship... yeah that and a restraining order after he once tried to 'gift' her a samurai sword.

In the end though he admitted that his relationship with Tiffany wouldn't work and turned his attention to Alyssa Milano after he realised that Milano had been travelling back in time to sabotage his relationships so they could one day be together.

McCormick takes it to a whole other level though. A hermaphrodite, McCormick has done her (apparently you can take your pick) hair loosely like Tiffany and has pictures of her on every wall - including the kitchen cupboards. You couldn't help but cringe at the poster she had on her wall of two women kissing with the labels on each saying 'Kelly' and 'Tiffany' egrhh but her running demonstration alone was almost worth the price of admission.
