Blue Blood Magazine Covergirl Cherry (PICS)

Blue Blood magazine covergirl Cherry Jason is a favorite with me and Forrest Black and we all enjoyed this shoot in her home. We’ve known Cherry for a long time and she is always fun and gorgeous and cool. I should really bust out the film scanner and look for the negatives from our earliest film shoots with her because she is just amazing. Full series in Blue Blood VIP.

Should goths kill emos and eat their flesh?

Should goths kill emos and eat their flesh?

by Amelia G : April 13th, 2010

goth vs emo cannibalism maxim golovatskikh karina barduchianMaxim Golovatskikh might be hot and in a band, but he is a butcher. Well, actually a year ago that was pretty literally true, on multiple levels, but he has been in jail awaiting trial since then. See Maxim Golovatskikh was a goth boy in a band who worked as a butcher to pay his rent in a gothic group house in St Petersburg.

Unfortunately, it was Maxim Golovatskikh’s misfortune to have a cute emo girl get all hot for him. Cute emo Karina Barduchian was so into Maxim Golovatskikh that she kept right on going over to his place, even afer her mother forbade her to see him. The problem was he and his housemates were all goth-identified, but this Karina Barduchian chick was all emo and hanging out at their party pad, just flaunting her vulnerable cute girl killability. It has also been widely reported that she made fun of really uncute goth boy Yuri Mozhnov for being a florist and she was just really emo, ya know.

So, obviously, the only rational thing for Maxim Golovatskikh and Yuri Mozhnov to do was to wait until the festivities wound down and then drown Karina Barduchian in the bathtub. And cook the tastiest parts of her remains and serve them to their unsuspecting housemate Ekaterina Zinovyeva as a hearty breakfast with potatoes.

Now I’m kind of a foodie, so I used to be curious about cannibalism. Sorta grew out of it. Just a phase I guess. There have been certain warrior tribes who ate portions of fallen foes to gain some of their power, but how much mojo can one get from a cute emo girl with a crush on a gothic boi in a band?

Treme Hubig’s New Orleans Pie

Treme Hubig’s New Orleans Pie

by Amelia G : April 12th, 2010

treme  hubigs pie new orleans hbo david simonI love long form cable dramas and The Wire is my favorite of all time. So I’ve been looking forward to HBO’s Treme for quite some time. Treme is a brand new show created by David Simon and Eric Overmyer. David Simon created The Wire and Eric Overmyer wrote a couple episodes. Both of them did some work on it and on Homicide: Life on the Street. Eric Overmyer has also done buckets of work on Law & Order. David Simon is also responsible for Generation Kill, starring bad boy 3000-year-old vampire Alexander Skarsgård. (Okay, I’m a fan of the True Blood long form cable drama as well; like that’s a surprise.)

The first episode of Treme did not disappoint. The show is named after a particularly musically important historic neighborhood in New Orleans and the first episode featured appearances by Elvis Costello and New Orleans native Kermit Ruffins, both playing themselves. I’d probably enjoy the show more if New Orleans music resonated with me more, but the general musical lifestyle does resonate, I’ve spent quite a bit of time in New Orleans, I like the food, and I feel like post-Katrina resilience and during-Katrina failures are really important for the USA to examine as a nation. The folks behind this show are not ones to shy away from difficult or important issues. If Treme is anything like The Wire, and I expect it will be, the show will probably demonstrate a full spectrum of viewpoints on problems and solutions. Just one episode in, they’ve already jumped in with both feet on the issues of corruption on government contracts, the economic peculiarities of New Orleans, and . . .

The New New Deal or Keeping Pot Illegal

The New New Deal or Keeping Pot Illegal

by Amelia G : April 9th, 2010

superna 420 interviewMark Frauenfelder at Boing Boing reports that Humboldt County farmers are sporting bumper stickers saying:

Keep Pot Illegal

For the non-Californians amongst you, Humboldt County is an area in California which is sufficiently north of San Francisco that it might as well be hippie Oregon. And the November ballot here in California is going to have a referendum on whether marijuana should be entirely legalized and not solely legal for those with a prescription. Part of the idea is to tax marijuana to help California’s sagging State coffers.

Kevin Drum at Mother Jones reports that part of the concern is that a black market supports farmer profits and Big Tobacco will just snarf all the market share, should pot be legalized. Sam Quinones at the Los Angeles Times reports that wholesale prices for cultivated cannabis have dropped 25% just since the farmacy legal medical marijuana dispensaries have proliferated. The LA Times says, “Humboldt State economists guess that marijuana accounts for between $500 million and $700 million of the county’s $3.6 billion economy.” Apparently, in harvest season, part time marijuana trimmers seasonal help can make $25 an hour, to supplement their usual work. That is a lot of money in the current economy.</p>

So basically we are going to get what folks got in trade for the last Depression i.e. a bunch of New Deal stuff which only takes care of some people and the government can’t afford and an end to Prohibition so we . . .

Hello Kitty Wine is Real

Hello Kitty Wine is Real

by Amelia G : April 6th, 2010

hello kitty wineI’m still not sure whether the Hello Kitty Beer was an actual Sanrio product. I’m thinking someone I know would have brought some to a party if it were. However, it is absolutely confirmed that there will now be a whole line of Hello Kitty wines.

Not whines like, “I really want the citrine Hello Kitty diamond ring” or “I really have to have advance access to Capcom’s Monster Hunter Diary: Poka Poka Felyne Village featuring Hello Kitty“. I mean wines, with no H, but with, like, ya know, booze and stuff. I admit that I am not a wine aficionado. It seems out of character, I know, but I prefer beer (or honestly sparkling water.) I’m a total foodie, but I have a middle-brow taste in champagne (Veuve Clicquot Demi-Sac and Moet White Star, thanks for asking.) and I treat wine pretty much like parsley i.e. a garnish I occasionally enjoy something cooked in but would never consume on its own.</p>

Nonetheless, I think a bottle of Hello Kitty Wine would make a pretty bitchin’ party item or housewarming gift. MWC is distributing an assortment of Hello Kitty wine too, so you’ll have what to choose from. Maybe I’d even enjoy the Hello Kitty Brut Rose.

Usually the sorts of brands people passionately fall in love with are also the sort they then have pissy break-ups with (i.e. Starbucks), but Sanrio . . .

Kink.com’s Peter Acworth Speaks at The Economist Innovation Summit

Kink’s Peter Acworth Speaks at The Economist Innovation Summit

by Amelia G : April 7th, 2010

I tend to read The Economist whenever I fly. It is usually available in airports and I find its coverage of pretty much everything that matters, with a particular focus on the economic impact of current events, to be thorough, interesting, and intelligent. The Economist recently held a summit in Berkeley, at the Haas School of Business, called Innovation: Fresh Thinking for the Ideas Economy. I’d think that was pretty awesome to begin with, but The Economist ably demonstrated their blinders-off approach with their selection of speakers.

Peter Acworth, head honcho of Kink.com, was on a panel with Professor Amy Edmondson from Harvard Business School, Judy Estrin, author of Closing the Innovation Gap: Reigniting the Spark of Creativity in a Global Economy, and Kris Halvorsen from Intuit whose business card apparently reads “Chief Innovation Officer”, which is a great title.</p>

The topic of the panel was the concept of successful failure, innovating in crisis, and dealing with failure and risk. One of the biggest issues for the American economy is intellectual property. A lot of people online seem to think that stealing music, photos, video, and suchlike its fine and this presents huge difficulty in the USA where entertainment and other intellectual property product has been our top export for decades. Peter Acworth kicked off saying that he felt his company’s speed at bringing product to market makes them more nimble in adapting to a briskly changing landscape.

Then there was . . .

Blue Blood Hearts Michael Lore’s Tits n’ Ass and Police Fantasy Football

Blue Blood Hearts Michael Lore’s Tits n’ Ass and Police Fantasy Football

by Amelia G : April 5th, 2010

My friend David J. Schow sent me this hilarious article on how a Police Fantasy Football League is the scourge of New Rochelle. Apparently, a bunch of police officers in New Rochelle like to play fantasy football and bet on the games. I’m not intimately familiar with New Rochelle politics, but betting on fantasy football seems like a pretty innocuous way to socialize with co-workers. I would guess the New Rochelle community as a whole would be safer if the local law enforcement folks got to know one another, via a PFFL or something similar, given that most groups work together better if they also have fun together sometimes too.

The outraged peeps at New Rochelle Talk have apparently edited together a Download Page for XXX-Rated Tour of NRPD P.A.C.T. Unit Officers PFFL Web site. According to City of New Rochelle Has “No Comment” on XXX-Rated P.F.F.L. Web Site Published by Current and Former NRPD Officers, if this video delivers as advertised, it will contain, among other things, “an animated image as a “naked” “female” snowman passes by a “male” snowman is aroused, his penis appears and grows so large that he tips over, face first, into the snow” and “A Powerpoint Slide Show of five photos of a transexual.” I tried to watch the video, but it was too boring. Can somebody else please watch it and tell me whether or not this video is a derivative work based in part on some of my photography?

Full disclosure: This is extra-humorous to me because I attended religious school in New Rochelle for a while, when my family lived in Westchester. My brother got in trouble there (at school, not with the law) for doing a successful judo throw on a bully twice his size and age. New Rochelle also had a toy store with Transformers types of toys and a pet store with a cool fish tank section nearby and I liked both of those.

Tits ‘N’ Ass’ Team and the Nude Woman with the Chainsaw Penis

chainsaw.jpgThe single most disturbing team and team web site in the PFFL is Michael Lore’s team Tits ‘N’ Ass which displays an image of a nude woman holding a large chainsaw (right). A Google image search for “nude tattoo chainsaw” returned, as the first result, the same photo on Lore’s team page. The woman in the photo models, acts and performs under the stage name “Spurna” and she is described as a “goth” porn star on several web sites which we will not link to here. The image on Lore’s site were copied from Barely Evil, a goth porn site. They were part of a series of photos taken at the home of David J. Schow a well-known horror writer whose film credits include screenplays for A Nightmare on Elm Street . . .
