Welcome to a new media segment I'm going to call "Might I Suggest a Mash-up?" (as you may have noticed).
This weeks mash-up? Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Betty Draper...
Ever noticed how similar they look? Well, who's to say that Buffy's slaying predecessor wasn't a fussy, tight-lipped woman from the 50s/60s? I mean, slayers aren't known for having the longest life expectancy. It could have happened.
So here's the show: Betty Draper moves away (already happened), when she meets an older, wiser gent who tells her that she's got a destiny (a spin-off show)in which she's a rockin' vampire slayer (maybe FOX is jonesin' to get into the vampire market?).
Your mission: recommend songs for the soundtrack. Anything from the 50s/60s and even the 90s and today that could add some style to the show. Mash-ups preferred!!
My Mission: to recommend some research to you. If you're interested in vampire/history mash-ups, check out the new book "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" by Seth Grahame-Smith, author of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. (I know I will!)

and is it a coincidence that their names are "B-vowel-double consonant-y"??? I think not.
And if I were to make a playlist for them, I imagine it would be half 50's/early 60's music, half of my true blood vampire mix. lol. Maybe a little "If You Want Blood" by AC/DC. Because I think both betty and buffy want blood. lol.
interestingly, If You Want Blood was on your vampire mix. And I totally don't remember betty moving away. Maybe I need to rewatch some of the last episodes once the start of the new season is closer.
