Want something fun tonight which doesn’t feel like work. This eliminates options I was considering. Anyone got fun in LA for me now?
Dear friends, I feel like hanging out and being sociable, so contact me on here or text my phone if you have my cell. But I mean actually sociable, like enjoy your company sociable, and not listen to your business pitch or show off sociable.
I make no promises on whether or not I will bring any sort of photographic equipment with me or whether or not I will use it if I do.
Things which would feel a lot like extending the workday include:
— clubs where largely naked women try to impress me (or anyone else)
— parties where everyone feels obliged to have sex in public with nonspecific partners
— clubs where you and I have to try to impress the doorman (or anyone else) to get service, unless you are already 100% VIP there
— any place it would take me more than 30 minutes to get ready to go
— places too loud to converse aloud where we’d have to text on our phones
— anywhere people will feel compelled to ask me if I am shooting tonight and will I shoot them
— locations it would take me more than an hour to get to or more than $25 to park at
Down for a good live band. Down for a late night dining or coffee or yogurt place. Down for a chill bar with a good jukebox. Down for people-watching some place peculiar.
Will bring witty banter, good anecdotes, warm smile, brilliant insights into the world we live in, and bad attitude.

Dana Dark is one of Blue Blood’s online OGs. It was after staying at her beautifully-appointed home in Houston for a week that Blue Blood launched its first membership site. Dana creates beauty and warmth in every little nook and cranny of her home. Like, if there is some tiny square of wall in the bathroom, she will think of the perfect antique frame or something like that to dress it up. There are now twenty-seven photo sets featuring Dana Dark in the Blue Blood VIP area.
I’ve spent more than one holiday with Dana and there is seriously nobody who does up holiday cheer better than she does. She really gets into the festive spirit, she is fabulous at decorating, she cooks, and she is starting her own clothing line. When my guy friends look at photos of Dana, she is always the girl they fantasize about marrying.
Amelia G: What are your favorite holidays?
Dana Dark: For me it would be Halloween, Christmas and Easter but I think holidays in general can help us forget about the worriments of our lives and connect us with others – even if it’s for only a day.
Amelia G: What are your favorite kinds of Halloween treats?
Dana Dark: As I look back of past young Halloween nights, longing of warm caramel popcorn balls and rice crispy treats still haunts me today. Another favorite of mine are homemade, moist, thick, Halloween sugar cookies with vivid icing and spooky sprinkles. Also a must have beloved treat for this season’s spell is a visit to my local Panaderia (a Mexican bakery) for Dia de Muertos Sweet Bread and autumn spiced pastries.

As part of the Halloween festivities, a series called spiderwebs, featuring Natalie Addams shot by Matthew Cooke just posted to the Blue Blood VIP members area. (I actually meant for it to post tomorrow, but I’m a little distracted with the Halloween holiday celebration, so y’all get it a day early.) Natalie Addams busted out the gothic cobwebs beautifully for this. These sexy spooky images are the eighth Blue Blood set of Natalie Addams and mark photographer Matthew Cooke’s first set for Blue Blood. Forrest Black and I have shared a house with him before, but this is his first Blue Blood appearance, although you should expect many more. Let’s make him feel welcome! Although I promise Natalie is delightfully nude on BlueBlood.com, we can’t show you any nudity here on BlueBlood.net, but you can check out a very hot preview in this free Natalie Addams Halloween gallery. Some of Natalie’s other credits include magazine appearances in Marquis, Sonic Seducer, Rue Morgue, Bizarre, Gothic Beauty, Tattoo Savage, DDI, Drum Pro, and Secret. Blue Blood superstar hotties do tend to get immortalized in print. And now, I’d like to share the sensually artistic Natalie’s thoughts on Halloween with you all.
Amelia G: What are your favorite kinds of Halloween treats?
Natalie Addams: Vegan Candies!! peanut chews, pumpkin pie.
Amelia G: How do you like to spend Halloween in general and do you have any special plans for Halloween this year?
Natalie Addams: I love dressing up, and of course halloween seems like it’s everyday to us goths 😉 I usually like to go out and strut my costume on halloween, and see everyone’s costume creations. This year I am in New York filming some amazing zombie footage for the . . .

I’m going to admit that this year, like many Americans, I’ve been too caught up, either following election coverage or avoiding it, to properly celebrate Halloween. Sure, Blue Blood is sponsoring a few Halloween parties, most notably the Release the Bats decade anniversary. And I remembered to freshen up my hair color and play with squash a little. Some years, I get all freaked out about wanting to do too much for Halloween, but this year I haven’t even had my favorite holiday at the front of my brain most of the time. But I’ve been enjoying a bit of vicarious Halloween joy today, checking out the work of people like Dana Dark and Ray Villafane.
More on Dana Dark’s Halloween secrets later, but I want to tell you all about Ray Villafane now. He is an artist who primarily appears to work on sculpture for folks like Sideshow Collectibles and McFarlane Toys. In the unlikely event you are not familiar with those companies, they make collectibles for the horror, science fiction, fantasy, and general monsters and comic books realm.
But, wow . . .

Jon Hamm, who plays leading man Don Draper on AMC’s Mad Men, hosted NBC’s Saturday Night Live last night. It’s kind of peculiar because, although he is a completely plausible womanizer on the show, I’ve never personally found his character on Mad Men particularly sexy. He is extremely compelling and I can relate to some of what he appears to be going through, but he just never struck me as a flavor I’d like. Appearing on SNL really showcased what an incredibly good actor he is. And, curiously, seeing more range made Jon Hamm the actor seem that much hotter.
This was seriously the funniest and best episode of SNL in ages. Even the monologue was laugh-out-loud funny, although probably mostly only if you have been watching Mad Men. Some of the highlights of the show included a mash-up of Mad Men and SNL’s recurring 2 A-Holes characters played by Kristen Wiig and Jason Sudeikis. Elisabeth Moss, who plays copywriter Peggy Olsen on Mad Men, and John Slattery, who plays partner Roger Sterling, also guested for this sketch. Will Forte also played a hilarious adult trick-or-treater knocking on neighbor Jon Hamm’s door for candy and a bit of legal certification on Halloween.
And then there was Don Draper’s Guide to picking up women. This is really funny and really good advice.

So apparently the great state of Kentucky wants to get into the gambling biz. Times are tough all over and I totally understand being open to new opportunities in these difficult economic times. Adult trade journal XBiz reported yesteray that Kentucky “Gov. Beshear was elected on a platform that included bringing gambling to the state.” Okay, so far, no problem, right.
Well, Kentucky filed suit to seize 141 gambling domains, including, according to The Washington Post, some very active huge money-making concerns such as UltimateBet.com and FullTiltPoker.com. Kentucky Judge Thomas Wingate is presiding over this legal fiasco. Registrars eNom and GoDaddy have apparently complied with Kentucky’s request and handed over those gambling casino domains registered with them. Most other US-based registrars are bizarrely expected to follow, although, as a domain-consumer, I’m certainly noting which registrars roll over first and easiest on this.
Now I understand that some people feel gambling is immoral and they believe in legislating morality. If Kentucky totally outlawed gambling and had technology initiatives to block gambling sites from being viewed in Kentucky, I would think that was their right. I would also think it was the right of their residents to pick up and move to some place more pleasant like California. It is, however, legal for residents of Kentucky to gamble online with real money. In fact, although U.S. banks have been legally barred from processing online gambling payments for a couple years now, Washington state is the only one which made it illegal for residents to place online bets for actual cash money. Basically, the law would be akin to making it 100% legal to buy drugs and 100% illegal to sell them. The results, naturally, are that a lot . . .

I know that having posting code beneath every gallery photo on BlueBlood.net means people will sometimes use the posting code to, ya know, post pics. We’ve got code for posting to LJ and other HTML spaces and we’ve got BBCode for posting to forums and related structures.
I guess it is kind of viral where one person sees a posted pic and they post to two friends and they post to two friends and so on. I expect people to have discussions about the images. I expect some people to like some images more than others.
But sometimes people get really bananas with the posting and sometimes people seem to just really flip the fuck out over pictures.
Whether you love or hate a photograph, you should only love or hate it soooooo much before it becomes pathology.

Both the Hollywood movie industry press and the porn industry press have been falling all over themselves trying to explain why it is somehow a different piece of crossover news that award-winning writer/director Steven Soderbergh cast award-winning pornstar Sasha Grey in his upcoming Marc Cuban-financed film The Girlfriend Experience. She plays the role of, in case the title was no tip-off, a high-end callgirl of the variety who provides what enthusiasts refer to as the total girlfriend experience.
Pundits trying to explain how Steven Soderbergh casting Sasha Grey is more ground-breaking than Jenna Jameson’s career explain that lots of pornstars have been able to crossover to horror, but The Girlfriend Experience is legit. They are wrong on a few fronts. First of all, why exactly do horror movies not count? Have they not looked at box office receipts for the past few years? Secondly, Jenna Jameson and Sasha Grey are both successful and it is not a contest of some sort, just because they are both famous, both beautiful, and have both had sex on camera. Acting like the two should face off somehow reminds me of playground debates over who would win in a fight between Superman and Batman. (Obviously Superman, unless Batman got the jump on him with kryptonite, which is admittedly likely with Batman’s penchant for science gadgets.) Jenna Jameson loudly proclaimed that she would “never spread [her] legs” for the adult industry again, before going on to mainstream crossover fare like, uhm, Zombie Strippers where she strutted her acting chops in the role of, uhm, a zombie stripper. When Kobé Tai played a stripper/escort in Very Bad Things, the role was not on the face of it particularly different, and the world did not appear to tilt on . . .
