2011-05-19T16:31:00.000-07:00

I'm still reading for the sequel to Backstage Passes. Backstage Passes is a bit of a who's who of cool fiction, with work from Poppy Z. Brite, Nancy A. Collins, John Shirley, Will Judy, Shariann Lewitt, Cecilia Tan, Andrew Greenberg, William Spencer-Hale, Althea Morin, Sèphera Girón, Thomas S. Roche, and more.

Bloody Tattooed Halloween Jen Vixen (PICS)

2011-05-07T10:35:00.000-07:00

Forrest Black and I always enjoy shooting gooey sets. I am always a huge fan of making a giant mess. I got vanilla-flavored for this, but Halloween Jen Vixen is one of the few people who doesn't like the taste of vanilla. It was fun anyway and she looks totally hot. This is her 14th Blue Blood VIP appearance. Whole series, of course, in the Blue Blood VIP.

So Marquis readers have already had a taste of what Nina looks like with her beautiful big eyes and a giant headgear bondage bit in her mouth. Blue Blood VIP members get to see the whole series.

Is it wrong to kiss and tell?

2010-10-07T10:13:00.000-07:00

Is it wrong to kiss and tell? by Amelia G : October 7th, 2010 Is it wrong to kiss and tell? Does it make a difference if you tell just one person or millions of people of just three people but one of them tells millions?This week, the internet is all aflutter over the Karen Owen Powerpoint presentation. If you are not up on your Duke sex scandal news, a recent graduate of that esteemed

Time Warner, this is why you suck, Part II

2010-10-04T10:44:00.000-07:00

Earlier today, I posted: Hollywood is beautiful when it rains. First comfy lazy day in forever. Coffee, 2 hrs work, hike, pizza, Mad Men, Rubicon, salt bath, nap :-) A peaceful mood can change so fast. My day was going really fantabulous and I was feeling genuinely relaxed for the first time in a long time. So Time Warner phoned a line they shouldn't even have (it's like the Batphone for need

Yolanda Skull Armor (PICS)

2010-10-03T23:51:00.000-07:00

This series Forrest Black and I shot of Yolanda is sort of a companion piece to the most recent Erotic Fandom update. The skull armor Yolanda is wearing here, as well as the chainmail skirt, is also from Retail Slut. Her hair is courtesy of the fine folks at Diva Luxe. I'm happy I feel like we managed to capture Yolanda's sleek elegance well. Whole series of all 33 Yolanda Blue Blood

Vampire Time with a Pink Floyd Soundtrack

2010-10-03T06:21:00.000-07:00

Sometimes I feel like I am living on vampire time with a Pink Floyd soundtrack. I'm working on decluttering and an intrinsic part of the process is finding, sorting, and often tossing all the detritus of paths not followed or opportunities missed. Like I'll find an email scrawled on a cocktail napkin. And the email will be for someone I genuinely meant to work with on something, a photo shoot for

Backstage Passes Gets Good Press from Pop My Cherry and Blog Critic

2010-10-02T03:52:00.000-07:00

Backstage Passes Gets Good Press from Pop My Cherry and Blog Critic by Amelia G : September 24th, 2010 My Backstage Passes anthology has been receiving some more nice press this week, so I thought I’d share. Backstage Passes: An Anthology of Rock and Roll Erotica from the Pages of Blue Blood is currently the featured book review on BlogCritic.com. FC Etier, writing for Blog Critic, explains that

Fedora Soft Mohawk (PICS)

2010-10-02T03:46:00.000-07:00

For the past two years, Fedora has been tripping around the country, shooting pictures and having pictures shot of her. On one of her jaunts through Los Angeles, Forrest Black and I had the pleasure of shooting this fun series with her. I feel like this shoot really shows off both her playful fun personality and her impressive flexibility. Whole series in the Blue Blood VIP or Barely Evil!

Spiders from Mars (PICS)

2010-10-02T03:43:00.000-07:00

With the silver makeup and futuristic glam armor from Retail Slut in this outfit, I like to think of this series Forrest Black and I shot as the Spiders from Mars shoot. I love metal clothing. I decided I kind of liked this image from the nude portion of the shoot as the one shot I could share though, so y'all will have to sign up for Erotic Fandom or Blue Blood VIP to see the metal spider top.

How do you make marshmallows? (PICS)

2010-09-24T19:07:00.000-07:00

My second attempt at making marshmallows has gone so swimmingly much better than my first that I felt words could not do the difference justice. Fortunately, I have a whole lot of photographic equipment I should be using to shoot rockstars and naked people. But there isn't a lot of budget for that sort of thing in the current economy. So here is my marshmallows visual aid. Both batches were made

Have you ever seen a Zedonk?

2010-09-24T01:35:00.000-07:00

Have you ever seen a Zedonk? by Amelia G : September 23rd, 2010 Katherine Dorsett at CNN reported today that the Chestatee Wildlife Preserve, in Bumfuck Dahlonega, Georgia, now features a zedonk. Preserve founder C.W. Wathen says he keeps his donkeys with his zebras because donkeys are extremely calm and they help the zebras chill and not run through fences. Apparently Sarah the Donkey

Rudy Rucker Posts 10th Issue of Free Flurb

2010-09-24T01:33:00.000-07:00

Rudy Rucker Posts 10th Issue of Free Flurbby Amelia G : September 22nd, 2010 If you like cyberpunk sf, you are probably familiar with author and general cool guy Rudy Rucker. What you might not know, or at least I didn’t until now, is that Rudy Rucker edits an online science fiction zine called Flurb. It is free to read and includes many top speculative fiction/science fiction talents.I found

Hollywood Gets a Social Makeover Hosted by Financial Times

2010-09-22T02:15:00.000-07:00

This is why I am all awake and lively at 9am Pacific. There seem to be some technical difficulties, but the panel description sounds really cool and interesting, so I hope the Social Media Week folks can get it all streaming.Hosted by the Financial Times, a global media partner of Social Media Week, this conversation at The Paley Center for Media in Beverly Hills will explore how studios and

Boardwalk Empire (PICS)

2010-09-20T07:04:00.000-07:00

Boardwalk Empireby Amelia G : September 19th, 2010 I’ve been watching a lot of TCM lately. In particular, the gangster movies from the 1930’s really resonate with me. In a way, the world is such a different place now, and, in a way, so many of the issues are so very current. Those movies took on themes of people with good work ethics and limited opportunities, as well as issues of gender

Do you believe bad things happen via coincidence or the Devil?

2010-09-20T07:02:00.000-07:00

Do you believe bad things happen via coincidence or the Devil?by Amelia G : September 17th, 2010 If you’ve been paying attention to the pretty Flash designs floating around the site here, you probably know the Devil movie opens tonight. It is being marketed as being with M. Night Shyamalan’s touch. WGA credits him for the story, but lists a Brian Nelson as the screenwriter. Apparently, M.

Homemade Candy with Skull Flair

Homemade Candy with Skull Flairby Amelia G : September 17th, 2010 Carrie Carolin at Goth Shopaholic just went through the Sur La Table site and selected all the best Halloween cupcake accessories. I would not have even guess that Sur La Table would have spooky kitchenware, but they do.So I’m learning how to make a health food version of Rice Krispies Treats this week. This means I’m learning

What do you think of cyberpanhandling or cyber-begging?

2010-09-20T06:57:00.000-07:00

What do you think of cyberpanhandling or cyber-begging?by Amelia G : September 16th, 2010 We’ve all seen people online begging for PayPal donations or cash in the mail or for people to buy some product from them . . . not because the product is good or because they are working for a charity, but just because they claim to need money. Some say they need money for medical care or to pay a debt

Would you want to wear banana shoes?

2010-09-20T06:55:00.000-07:00

Would you want to wear banana shoes?by Amelia G : September 14th, 2010 The usually more loquacious Cory Doctorow at Boing Boing posted this image of a banana shoe earlier today under the title “Just look at this awesome banana shoe.” The article read, “Just look at it.”The banana shoes are the creation of Israeli designer Kobi Levi. I’d like to tell you all that the years I lived in the Middle

Does your car need eyelashes?

2010-09-20T06:53:00.000-07:00

Does your car need eyelashes?by Amelia G : September 13th, 2010 I’m a big fan of flamboyantly gigantic eyelashes. They can be a pain to put on and take off, but they really complete a dramatic makeup look. I love photographing them and I like to wear them from time to time. A downside of the really good fake eyelashes is that they tend to be pricey.

So I don’t know whether I am more

Water Beating on Pale Flesh (PICS)

2010-09-16T12:49:00.000-07:00

I was really pleased at the way Forrest Black and I were photographically able to capture the precise splashes of water on skin with this series. Shooting this gave the bunch of us an awesome excuse reason to stay in the sort of hotel which has marble showers too. Whole series in Blue Blood VIP.

Market: All Access Pass Call for Submissions

2010-09-12T11:07:00.000-07:00

I'm reading for a sequel to my anthology Backstage Passes: An Anthology of Rock and Roll Erotica from the Pages of Blue Blood. Backstage Passes features fiction from Poppy Z. Brite, Nancy A. Collins, Yon Von Faust, Amelia G, Sèphera Girón, Andrew Greenberg, Thomas S. Roche, William Spencer-Hale, John Shirley, Shariann Lewitt, Will Judy, Althea Morin, Cecilia Tan, and more.

Are ray gun vibrators steampunk? by Amelia G : September 12th, 2010 Are ray gun vibrators steampunk? This is the sort of question I lie awake at night contemplating.Steampunk is a sub-genre of science fiction/fantasy/speculative fiction, which builds on the works of H. G. Wells and Jules Verne. Now H. G. Wells and Jules Verne were both geniuses and can be forgiven for imagining future

Steampunk Nicotine Lady Clankington (PICS)

2010-09-10T18:48:00.000-07:00

I'm really happy Blue Blood is able to publish this special Erotic Fandom shoot by yours truly and Forrest Black. It stars Nicotine, making her fourth Blue Blood appearance, wearing couture from our long-time friends at Brute Force Studios, and showing off one of the new line of steampunk rayguns from Lady Clankington. Special thanks to The Death Knight for the kickass steampunk location.

Ice Cube on My Block

2010-09-04T10:34:00.000-07:00

Ice Cube on My Block by Amelia G : September 4th, 2010 My block is generally bracketed by Russian (or possibly Armenian) gangsters in big black cars. They keep the neighborhood safe. Hollywood is probably pretty safe anyway. I occasionally hear gunshots at night, but never anything like an AK. Today, however, LAPD bookends my street instead.Rapper Ice Cube has been set up to shoot a

Machete (PICS)

2010-09-03T11:17:00.000-07:00

Macheteby Amelia G : September 3rd, 2010 There is a sort of school of modern directors who often collaborate and make movies within movies. In the Grindhouse outing by Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez, Robert Rodriguez had a sort of faux trailer, within the movie, for a movie called Machete. Fans kept coming up to him and asking if this was a real movie he was working on. Caught up in

If a two-tailed dog promised you free beer and eternal life . . . by Amelia G : September 3rd, 2010 The Two-Tailed Dog Party in Hungary is making some mighty attractive election promises:Eternal life!Free beer!Tax cuts!Money without work!There’s a 93 percent chance we won’t steal.You will be happy!We will promise anything.In terms of country infrastructure, the Two-Tailed Dog Party favors

The Last Exorcism in Social Media

2010-09-03T04:29:00.000-07:00

The Last Exorcism in Social Media by Amelia G : September 2nd, 2010 I really like Eli Roth as a personality. He has a certain wit and charm and unstoppable DIY willingness to just go for it and stick to it, which I really enjoy. I find him most interesting as a writer and have been following him on Twitter just to read his random thoughts in 140 character installments. As an actor, his

BlogDay2010 – 5 Diverse Possibly Alien Blogs by Amelia G : August 31st, 2010

So today is supposed to be Blog Day 2010. BlogDay founder Nir Ofir has been doing this since 2005. The idea is for bloggers to post links to five disparate blogs which are culturally alien reads. Each BlogDay post August 31, 2010 is supposed to be tagged as BlogDay2010. Bizarrely, this year,

Backstage Passes Gets Good Press from Gram Ponante and AltPorn.Netby Amelia G : August 25th, 2010 My Backstage Passes anthology has been receiving some nice press this week, so I thought I’d share. I’m so used to the speed of internet press at this point, that I am chomping at the bit with the turnaround time for print and for a project which requires more in-depth reading for journalists to

Black Oil Cell Mask (PICS)

2010-08-26T06:56:00.000-07:00

Szandora posted to Blue Blood VIP in a set by your truly and Forrest Black called Black Oil Cell Mask. This is the actual mask Jennifer Lopez wore in the movie The Cell. I was going to tell an anecdote about how Forrest and I came to photograph it on Szandora and on Dahlia Dark. But then it seemed boring and trivial to me, so here is a nice photograph we shot anyway.

Tristan Taormino Opens Up – Creating and Sustaining Open Relationships

2010-08-26T06:52:00.000-07:00

Tristan Taormino Opens Up – Creating and Sustaining Open Relationships by Amelia G : August 25th, 2010 I’ve been thinking about fellow Wesleyan alum Tristan Taormino lately because she was the original catalyst for my Backstage Passes anthology. Tristan is very prolific, but one of her most recent projects is the book Opening Up: A Guide to Creating and Sustaining Open Relationships. If you

Halcyon Gets Ready for the Playa (PICS)

2010-08-26T06:50:00.000-07:00

Halcyon Gets Ready for the Playa by Amelia G : August 25th, 2010 Watching Halcyon get ready to go to Burning Man is always enough to make me wish they held it at a four star hotel, instead of the insanely hot desert. I’m addicted to hot baths and cool air. Honestly, I pretty much wilt, if my environment gets too hot for too long, although a dry heat is easier. We all have our crosses to

Facing the Artist: Portraits by John Jonas Gruen

2010-08-26T06:47:00.000-07:00

Facing the Artist: Portraits by John Jonas Gruen by Amelia G : August 25th, 2010 Flavorwire ran a gallery today of portraits John Jonas Gruen shot of his artist peers over the past five decades. Apparently, East Coast artists of his generation spent a lot of time at the beach. Somehow there can be a West Coast notion that the beach is for the superficial and well-adjusted, but that is

True Blood Stars Nude on Rolling Stone Cover (PICS)

2010-08-26T06:36:00.000-07:00

True Blood Stars Nude on Rolling Stone Cover by Amelia G : August 25th, 2010 Rolling Stone is known for its decades of quality photography and occasional envelope-pushing magazine covers. The brilliant Matthew Rolston shot Alexander Skarsgård, Anna Paquin, and Stephen Moyer in a variety of menage-a-trois scenarios. I would say some of the inside photos look surprisingly stiff for someone

Busty Corset Vamp Dahlia Dark (PICS)

2010-08-23T05:36:00.000-07:00

This is beautiful busty vamp Dahlia Dark's 12th appearance in the Blue Blood VIP. Other images Forrest Black and I shot of Dahlia Dark ran in Marquis magazine in print, but Blue Blood VIP members get to see complete shoots.I'd write more about this shoot, but I'm in the middle of cooking a chicken right now. Priorities, priorities.

There is just such a positive sexy free energy shooting in the Pacific NW, especially with a free spirit like Luci. Like me and Forrest Black, she was just passing through town, and we coordinated via email. I want to have this soaking tub in the office. Like now. Whole series in the Blue Blood VIP.

Dear Time Warner Cable ISP, This is why you suck

2010-08-14T14:32:00.000-07:00

Dear Time Warner Cable ISP, This is why you suck. So my On Demand service still does not work since the most recent "upgrade" to the Time Warner On Demand interface. So I got into chat yet again. Of course, this was after it would have been nice to use On Demand. I don't have a lot of times I can take a break in this economy and the whole point of On Demand is for it to be there for the asking

Mathematics (PICS)

2010-08-13T21:03:00.000-07:00

Blue Blood Beauties Do Frontline Assembly

2010-07-30T06:21:00.000-07:00

Blue Blood Beauties Do Frontline Assembly by Amelia G : July 30th, 2010 The new video for Frontline Assembly's Shifting through the Lens is the fetish video industrial bands always flirt with but almost never do. The Shifting Through the Lens vid stars Julie Simone. In the music video, she plays a hot latex-clad video vixen, a domina, a cameraman, and a fetish director. In real life, Julie
