vampires

October 7th 2009 06:35

Ahhh, the children of the night, what sweet music they make 

Ive been floating in the wilderness myself of late. Please pardon my absence, I have no excuse but one of abject self-indulgence and inherent laziness. I was a prisoner of my own nightmares, where vampires had me under their hypnotic control, I could do nothing, only whimper in the darkness, gingerly finger at my throbbing neck where two holes had been punctured into my pallid flesh, and at regular intervals through the night their warm lips would press against my skin, and their cold needle-sharp fangs would sink back in causing me to black out and dream of falling into the abyss and loving it.

Im such a drama queen, I know, clutching at straws, offering up such feeble excuses for my slack blog attendance. But enough, I say! Theres no need for half-assed explanations, florid reasoning, tall stories, half-truths, or blatant lies. Im striking back with the force of a stake to the heart! Here there by bloodsuckers! And sexy ones too, cos thats just the type of provocative guy I am.

Vampires, vampires everywhere and oh, the day did shrink, vampires, vampires everywhere, and all that blood to drink! That was my pale reference to Coleridge. I should really be playing with the prose of Bram Stoker methinks, but hes untouchable.

Vampires are all the rage right now. Cinema and television are bleeding the creatures dry as a bone. But then again, vampirism has been mesmerising readers of the supernatural and horror movie lovers for over a hundred years, whilst the mythology of vampires stretches back centuries. My favourite vampire movie might be The Hunger, with that wonderfully sexy and dangerous opening scene set to the Bauhaus classic Bela Lugosis Dead, but perhaps its the raucous comedy A French Vampire in America that features delectable Anne Parillaud strutting around in the nude and sinking her fangs into the mob.

Artists love to play with the conceptual image of the vampire. They exude such a monstrous sensuality, a dark eroticism, a dangerous and elusive air of fetid charm and world-weariness. Vampires are the perfect date; the zipless fuck, as Erica Jong coined.

Ive gathered together my own playground for the children of the night. Vampires never go out of style; they simply slide into the shadows and sheath their fangs back inside their gums. So heres my selection of phantasical vamp artwork from around the world.

All these seductively evil creatures! My favourites being Midnight Roses, the dredlocked vamp, the redheaded vamp, Queen of Vampires (who looks curiously like Brooke Satchwell), that ferocious looking female dripping wet and about to lunge, and the bat-winged man with head hung low. Now if you'll excuse me, I can see the first rays of dawn fast approaching ... and a thirst beginning to quell deep within me.

Miss Universe 2009 alternate finalists

August 28th 2009 04:14

I grew up watching Miss Universe with my father. Hed be illustrating away on his easel and Id be glued to the television my adolescent hormones coursing through my lions. I remember Miss Venezuela winning in 1981. Theyve won the competition six times (the second highest after USA with seven wins). Puerto Rico has won five times, and Sweden three times. Miss Venezuela won last year and, setting a precedent, won again this year. Must be something in the water they drink.

I have a predilection toward the darker complexion and brunette hair colour. My lover is olive-skinned and a brunette. As they say, the darker the berry, the sweeter the juice. Id agree with that. Although they also say blondes have more fun, and as a blond myself, Id have to agree, but my eye will wander in the direction of a dusky jewel more often than a creamy strawberry or platinum bombshell

Paul Newman was not only a fantastic actor, but he was also a great human being. But thats been said a thousand times. His devotion as a husband was the stuff of Hollywood legend. He made a pretty darn good salad dressing. He wasnt too shabby behind the wheel of a racing car. And he was a fabulous humanitarian.

The camera loved him too

I'll be happy when one of her home sex videos gets "leaked" ... She should really try her hand in the adult movie industry, I mean she looks like a porn star.

BTW, love your banner.

on Caipirinha - Brazil's national drink

October 6th 2009 22:12

Patricia, curiously I have a Cachaca 51 muddling stick, but don't own a bottle. I have, I think, a cheaper version, Sagatiba, still tasty. I'm not sure what the best brand is. Best to ask a mixologist (experienced barman).

Cachaca rocks. It's my favourite spirit. I even drink it straight on the rocks with fresh squeezed lime. Delicious.
