Tipping My Velvet to Sofia Coppola

So, the buzz is that Sofia Coppola is going to direct a film version of "Tipping the Velvet," a well-written, yet luridly trashy Victorian lesbian novel by Sarah Waters. I'm very excited...Victorian pulp mixed with the angst and disillusionment of life that is Sofia Coppola's trademark could be a very intriguing mixture. And it probably wouldn't make me feel quite as guilty about liking the novel as the BBC's TV adaptation, which was a rollicking good time, but I had to shower the schlock off afterwards. Plus, it'll be fun to see how Coppola deals with the pivotal "servants disobeying the mistress by playing with the mistress' leather dildo" scene. I think that scene should be the make-it-or-break-it audition tape. Yup.
