Mini Bio: As you can tell from the profile details above, I’m seriously lacking in the computer/tech nerdiness. ^_^ But I guess I make up for it in a broad interest in other nerdy or nerdyesque interests. D&D, anime/manga, comic books, video games and fantasy novels. My other interests include art history, Brit comedies, piercings and my cats.

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.

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.

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.

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.”

The queer horror site is a free resource for people who identify as both part of the GLBT community and as horror fans. The site’s web design is a bit out of date, but I think this site’s mission makes that unimportant. The basic concept is that anyone with a marginalized sexuality has experienced some form of horror in his or her real life, yet a lot of horror further marginalizes and demonizes homosexuals and trans people. I would tend to agree with this assessment. It puts the lotion on its skin, anybody? Yet there are also appealing queer characters in horror literature and being gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgendered does not mean you cannot enjoy the genre. The point of QueerHorror.com is essentially to tell others they are not alone. Which is pretty much the best thing any web site can do.
