On this date in 1897, Thomas edison patented the Kinetoscope, the first movie projector. (via Wikipedia) Just a little over a hundred years ago, there was, not only no such thing as television, but no such thing as movies even. Although the science fiction of the day imagined space travel, television and its impact on society were just too freaky to be conceived of in advance.
Obscuria has wonderful text to go with their product line. Obscuria describes my favorite mask from their site: “After Lady Synthestruct polishes off her pint of nightly brandy from the steam powered liquor atomizer, she passes through the richly colored sitting room and makes way towards the hangar, where a patchwork hot air balloon awaits for mysterious Victorian adventure. A brass riveted rust colored leather Steampunk mask, with black leather accents. Two brass and mesh cylinders protrude about one inch out of the mask and are curiously decadent. Dual straps with brass buckles finish off the design, with a slightly padded nose bridge inside of the mask for added comfort.” As an added plus, Obscuria manages to have a personal feel while still offering same day shipping on these masks.
I actually saw some of this shoot in one of the recent issues of Marquis magazine in the Big in America section Blue Blood’s Amelia G and Forrest Black put together. I hadn’t realized the whole sets of Vampirabat are now posted in the Blue Blood VIP members area. Vampirabat is a really classic gothic vampire beauty. Worth viewing every shot of her.
It is all well and good for video game characters when they are popular and their games are flying off the shelves, but what happens after the joysticks are running someone else and the screens go dark? Ms. PacMan turned to prostitution. Frogger dissected. And how about that poor elf Questor whose evil parents took all his gold pieces? The Questor Elf Porn Scandal video goes in-depth into these issues, but the most important questions it asks are “What is that, an arrow?” and “Did you ever bang that Valkyrie chick?”
The elf girls of WhoreLore are certainly slicker than Vivian Winters on Geek Girls Online. I am torn because I appreciate the Whore Lore production values, but I wish for the sincerity of someone like Vivian Winters on GGO. Here is the geeky bio Vivian Winters has on Geek Girls Online:

Mini Bio: I’ve been running Dungeons and Dragons campaigns on and off for five years. My current campaign is set in an entirely homebrew setting with lots of political intrigue and backstabbing. When I’m not planning new adventures, I spend my time playing video games, hanging out with friends, doing classwork, and reading (or writing!) erotica.
Bianca Dagger and Dakota Brookes are both elves. Bianca Dagger and Dakota Brookes are both taking off their elven garb and making sweet lesbian elf love together. You can check out the free elf sex gallery here and here.
There is more serious sounding description for this Birth of Destruction episode: “The path is hallowed in the souls of others and from within the despair emerges a character capable of vanquishing those who thrive for harmony. Can this entity overthrow the powers of virtue, or will her sexual appetite get the best of her? There’s no telling what’ll happen when the storms collide, when the flesh melts.” But what more do you really need to know than two elf chicks together?
Creature from the Black Lagoon is a 1954 monster film directed by Jack Arnold, and starring Richard Carlson, Julia Adams, Richard Denning, Antonio Moreno, and Whit Bissell. The eponymous creature was played by Ben Chapman on land and Ricou Browning in underwater scenes. The film was released in the United States on 5 March 1954.
Creature from the Black Lagoon was filmed and originally released in 3-D requiring polarized 3-D glasses, and subsequently reissued in the 1970s in the inferior anaglyph format (this version was released on home video by MCA Videocassette, Inc. in 1981). It is considered a classic of the 1950s, and generated two sequels, Revenge of the Creature and The Creature Walks Among Us, each a year apart. Revenge of the Creature was also filmed and released in 3-D, in hopes of reviving the format.
The movie has an enduring legacy in both media and the general public. A musical based on the movie opened at Universal Studios Hollywood in late June of 2009. It has also been widely referenced, in part due to its groundbreaking character, in other media. In fact, many movies featuring monsters put a Gill-man likeness in the background as a homage. More directly, the Gill-man appeared in the Robot Chicken episode “Shoe,” voiced by Seth Green. He tells a guy that he prefers to be called the “African American Lagoon.” Its likeness also was used for the film The Monster Squad. However, due to licensing issues with Universal, the creature is referred to as “Gill-Man.” Ben Chapman introduced the creature in costume with Abbott and Costello on live television on an episode of The Colgate Comedy Hour. Even earlier, in The Seven Year Itch, the film is referenced when Tom Ewell and Marilyn Monroe come out of a theatre showing Creature from the Black Lagoon. Monroe expresses some sympathy for the creature, saying that it was not really bad and “just wanted to be loved”. The creature plays a brief cameo emerging from lake Springfield in the Simpsons in the 10th episode of Season 16.
Creature from the Black Lagoon was later made into a pinball game, designed by John Trudeau (AKA “Dr. Flash”), and released in 1992 by Midway (under the Bally brand name). This game has a retro 1950s drive-in theme. It also features such 50s classic songs like Rock Around the Clock, Get a Job, and Summertime Blues. Completing side missions in the pinball game causes the screen to display “Universal Presents… Creature from the Black Lagoon,” and then requires the player to chase after the monster just like in the film. The game sold 7,841 units.
The film has been immortalized in paleontology circles. When Jenny Clack of the University of Cambridge discovered a fossil amphibian in what was once a fetid swamp, she named it Eucritta melanolimnetes, which is Greek for “the creature from the black lagoon.”(via Wikipedia)
Forrest Black and Amelia G photographed beautiful Aiden Starr in their artistic style for the Blue Blood VIP members area. They shot her in gleaming black rubber with a statue of the Creature from the Black Lagoon. Aiden Starr and the Creature from the Black Lagoon were reportedly photographed at famous horror author David J. Schow’s Hollywood Hills home. You had me at Black Lagoon.
Heavy Red has recently released a Victorian Misfit Gown. Of course, all Victorian styles have a touch of steampunk about them. Or perhaps all steampunk has a touch of the Victorian. At any rate, Heavy Red gets a steampunk bonus for featuring their lovely gown model loitering by an old train. After dirigibles, trains are nicely steampunk modes of transportation, even without a steam-powered engine. I wish Heavy Red credited the model and photographer her, but they describe the Victorian Misfit Gown thusly: “The trains all stopped dead in their tracks as she walked by…stunning, breathtaking and with devious intentions. Born of another time, lost in this world, she is a misfit.The Misfit Gown is deep blood red satin, covered with a net and lace overdress. The overdress is adorned with black lace, ribbon and sequins. This fitted A-line dress gives you a glamorous statuesque figure, while not being impossible to wear, accentuating the bust and hemline, while distracting from the hips and tummy. Dress has spaghetti straps and a side zipper. This is a dress that is truly to die for…Shown with our matching sequin strap gloves.”
According to the AMF Korsets site, in addition to costuming things like WhoreLore, they dress performers for various events. Some of the shows on their c.v. include Torture Garden in London, Skin Two Rubberball in London, Fetish Evolution in Essen, Absolute Kink in Amsterdam, Klinik in Amsterdam, Vanilla Gallery in Tokyo, San Franciso Fetish Ball in (unsurprisingly) San Francisco, SMack in New York, and Fetish and Fantasy Ball in Las Vegas. The Las Vegas show is pictured in the thumb here with the hooks in flesh. I must confess that I am a fan of the Hellraiser movies, but I am sort of icked out by most suspension performances. I know it makes no sense, but I just can’t get into the fleshhooks. Hellraiser is about the pleasure of pain and experiencing a body suspension in a controlled safe environment is an impressive extension of the themes I loved in the movies. Just not for me.
Thank you to the alert readers who pointed out that August in WhoreLore is probably wearing something designed by Louis Fleischauer for AMF Korsets. I think the model pictured here is named Sashi and the photograph is by Karen Hsaio.
I’m not sure what WhoreLore means describing the Change episode: “Evil is close and for the Whores, closer than they think. The evil spy reports back to his master only to discover that his true faith will be death.” I am sure that the green leather armor August strips partially out of for the castle orgy is very nice. Hardcore sex ensues. Check out the free orgy gallery here and here.
Speaking of Geek Girls Online, AltPorn.net has a really interesting interview with Athena Hollow. Athena Hollow is the webmistress of GGO. My favorite part of the interview is when interviewer Cutter asks: “Nearly every alt-model we’ve seen lately claims to be highly intelligent, including many that seem to have their own opinions about how to spell the word. Who should we believe and why?” Athena Hollow replies: “Ask them what Einstein’s theory of relativity is. Chances are, if they don’t know, they are blowing smoke up your ass. What it does show, is that brainy girls are very “trendy” these days. Everyone wants a smart girl, or a gamer girl, as they are seen as the “Unicorn” of the female species. Many guys are getting tired of the same blonde bimbo porn that keeps getting reproduced over and over again.”
In this Geek Girls Online vampire-themed shoot, Souxie Tsarina takes a bite out of Miranda Vice. The free gallery gives you a good idea of what the set is like. I could wish for something a bit more erotic, but I am happy to see amateurs sites doing vampire themes. I would like to see more vampire sets on membership sites.
Goodness, the Blue Blood VIP members area passed 100,000 images while Sexy Fandom was sort of on hiatus. It seems like only yesterday when I was buying my first copy of Blue Blood magazine at a science fiction convention vendor booth. I guess it was actually sixteen years ago. Where does the time go? 100k is a really impressive number of genuine, artistic, erotic, on-topic, cool photographs of interesting-looking people. I think it is a nice touch that Blue Blood chose to pass the 100k mark with a photo set featuring Blue Blood magazine covergirl Cherry. It is impressive to be able to collaborate with some of the same people for so many years and have those people still be so very hot. Cherry is such a beautiful girl.
I think Ariel is one of the cutest redheads on the web. I think she is from Eastern Europe but speaks a fair amount of English. This Victorian lady costume set was shot by Zbyněk as outtakes from a calendar shoot.
I assume that, if you read Sexy Fandom, you probably already know that Hustler did a Star Trek parody porn movie called This Ain’t Star Trek XXX. The movie features Sasha Grey who also recently appeared in a Steven Soderburgh movie The Girlfriend Experience playing a high end hooker. There is no science fiction in The Girlfriend Experience. I could make a case for it, but I’d just be making debaters points. Anyway, Star Trek and pornography, a match made . . . a lot of places really, if you’ve ever checked out any slash fanfic.
The World of Warcraft, err, World of Whorecraft, err, Whore Lore site features the episode Pirate Booty where a cute elf-eared Mia Rose shows a pirate a good time on the beach: “A quiet day of herb farming is cut short when a beautiful elven priestess witnesses a brutal attack on an unsuspecting warrior. She comes to his aid, but little does she know just how much it will cost her. Mia Rose, our brave priestess does the right thing by saving a poor warrior. Mia gives a hardcore blowjob then climbs on top in her favorite position for the ride of her life.” You can check out the free WhoreLore photo galleries of Mia Rose here or here or here. You can see free WhoreLore video clips from this scene here and here and here. Don’t ever say I never gave you anything free, but I still recommend joining after you check out the freebies because the movies are full size and full length inside.
I don’t care how hot the weather is because I am not going to wear gothic garb in the midday sun and my family has good central air conditioning.
I have been looking for something to wear to play Little Red Riding Hood and the Horny Construction Worker and Heavy Red have been kind enough to create just the thing. The Heavy Red site says: “The limited edition Heavy Red costume Little Dark Red Riding Hood, is so beautiful with its dark elegance. The red and black dress made from weighted matte jersey and rayon hangs beautifully. The black arrow point bodice is adorned with a black bow. The dress is fully lined, has a side zipper, adjustable straps and straps that tie in the back to give you the perfect fit. The dress comes with a matching capelette which is fully lined with black satin. The outfit also includes: -miniature picnic basket. This costume is one you will want to wear over and over, it is truly amazing! Please note: All Halloween Costume Sales are final and only exchangable for size”.
The manufacturers seem to believe it is a Halloween costume, not necessarily intended for other forms of roleplay.
All I had to do was mention that many fanboys at the Comic Con were disgustingly sweaty from the extreme heat and that a lot of people showed up in steampunk costumes. That was all I had to do to induce dozens of people to send me emails with a link to Goths in Hot Weather. GothsInHotWeather is one of those ironic sites where they obsess about something while claiming not to really like it or care about it. Sort of like Perez Hilton. In case this was not painfully apparently already, the site addresses the issue of some gothic attire being a poor fit for overly warm weather. Humorous concept and domain, but it sort of states the obvious.
SexyFandom readers will probably be familiar with BlueBlood.net, the non-adult (but still sexy in the sense of being attractive) side of the Blue Blood empire. BlueBlood.net features cool fashion galleries, stills from interesting TV shows and movies, interviews with offbeat individuals, community forums, and pop culture opinion pieces. I have signed up for the BlueBlood.net banner exchange.
Normally I would not mention a site like Nena Blue because I am disgusted by sites which pretend to be run by women, when they are really run by men. I am also troubled by sites which claim to be doing something terribly new, when they can’t seem to tell the reader what is so new. As far as I can discern, the men behind Nena Blue think it is new to pretend to be run by a woman and to publish good photography. A few of the photo sets they claim are exclusive and original I know I saw the exact same photo sets on other sites years ago.
But all that falls by the wayside when they post an update with a mummy. Sexy mummies are good. Period. Check out the free erotic mummy gallery.
Gothic.net is a site with literary horror fiction and gothic community forums. The site currently features fiction by Thomas S. Roche, Amelia G, Christa Faust, Maria Alexander, Clint Catalyst, and David J. Schow. Gothic.net has a number of features to help similar sites promote. I have signed up for the Gothic.net topsites and the Gothic.net banner exchange.
Chad Savage, master of the Sinister Visions Banner Exchange, is an accomplished horror artist, best known for his Halloween and creepy clown art, but who also draws sexier fare such as his Raptor and Larvae series. If you are looking for spooky fonts, he has a free font collection of his original work at Sinister Fonts. Yes, I am biased in favor of his fine work.
As I’m getting back to blogging, I want people to know I am updating the site again. So I have a friend helping me sign up for banner exchanges. The first one I am signing up for is the Sinister Visions Banner Exchange which is run by horror artist Chad Savage. I’m just going to put the new banex codes into posts to start off. Once I am signed up and approved for all of them, then I will put these in rotation on the pages overall. By which I mean, I will get someone else to help me put a rotation in place.
Looks like Blue Blood ran a very sexy gallery from the Torchwood: Children of Earth mini-series, along with a deconstruction of whether the show’s creator has recently gone through a bad break-up and whether it is ever a good idea to give in to demands from an alien junkie. The article also asks the question of whether the nude bits are censored in the DVD version the same as they were on BBC America. I can’t stress enough what a ginormous television I have. I justify it as a business expense, but I just really like high definition television. The answer to the question is that, yes, the viewer can view John Barrowman’s Captain Jack Harkness ass and there is sort of a frontal scene, also un-censored, when Jack is being buried in concrete. Even on my huge TV screen, you really can’t make out much when he is at the bottom of a cell being filled with cement. I am sorry to have to report this, but it is true.
Ani Niow, of One Letter Wonder, says she can’t fathom why she would get placed in the steampunk area at Maker Faire. I think I can fathom it. Victorian women, living in such a repressed society, used to get vapors where they would swoon and be out of it. Doctors could often treat the vapors by putting the women on huge vibrating machines until they felt better. Ani Niow has made a much more compact steam-powered vibrator and she says it is really better to run it off of compressed air, as the steam makes her model get extremely hot to the touch. The guts of the vibrator feature one of the “world’s smallest Tesla turbines created out of brass and Dremel cutoff discs”. She explains the genesis of her creation: “this is it. this is what happens when you’re an engineering student with a minor in sexuality and you find yourself funemployed.”
I know I said that I thought Bound Gods was pitched as sci-fi, but, thinking about it, I expect it was probably Naked Kombat I was thinking of. Naked Kombat is the male-on-make, well, naked combat version of the female-on-female naked combat Ultimate Surrender. Winner gets to do the loser. You know the drill. Nice addition of mud in the Dakota Rivers and Colby Keller scene. Again, penis warning. If you only want to see the ladies do battle, check out Ultimate Surrender instead.
Sexy Fandom was on what you might call hiatus when the Fucking Machines people started the Bound Gods site. At the time they started, the PR about the site seemed to indicate that BoundGods is science fiction-themed. When some of the hottest stuff on there features Rusty Stevens and Drake Jaden as a farmer teaching a littering party punk a lesson, I am not sure I see the sci-fi angle, but I do see the appeal. If you are uncomfortable looking at more than one penis in the same picture with no vulvic matter present, don’t click. If you always got excited when Batman or James Bond got tied up by the villain, then this might be just the site for you. Complete with forced robot love.
Bob Coulter’s work for Crazy Babe is usually a bit gritty for my taste, as he does not present the girls looking as pretty as I prefer, but his style really moves me with his update this week. He has model Narcissa naked in a motel room, apparently hiding out with her hand arm waiting to unload the bullets in her gun into whoever needs killing. There is a sort of noir cyberpunk assassin of the future thing going on here which works. You can even check out a free gallery.
If you do not get the play on words in Sean Abley’s Fangoria blog name Gay of the Dead, I’m not sure you are reading the correct site. If you get it, Sean Abley is the creator of the Socket movie and he is writing a column on a gay view of horror. Some of the entries include depressing information such as that teen idol Wesley Eure from Land of the Lost was fired for being gay. The blog is at its best when Abley’s sense of humor shines through. A favorite entry of mine is when he explains how he justified the Friday the 13th box set as a press freebie he needed for writing for The Advocate: “Jason is the gay horror fan’s Judy Garland. A “special” child forced into the spotlight by a domineering mother. In the beginning controlled by the powers that be with little or no regard for their personal well-being. Then incapable of living life without the crutches—a bolt of lightening to get up in the morning, an ax to the head to get to sleep, a vicious cycle impossible to break. In middle-age driven to the spotlight in a pathological quest for the attention that has become their sustenance. Then a string of “comebacks” even though, in their mind, they never left. And in the end, gone far too soon, leaving the world to wonder where they might have gone had their talent been left unchecked.”
