How To Have a Nonconformist Evolved Intellect

by Amelia G : June 22nd, 2008

Since 1992, Blue Blood has been about encouraging people to think critically and not just go along with the herd. My hair is purple and red at the moment. But the hair color is a signifier, not the endgame. What I mean by this is that all of us who fought the battle to convince the world that someone with primary-colored hair or tattoos could be beautiful or sexy, we can all pat ourselves on the back and go home, if that was all the whole thing was about. That battle is won. But the point is that the physical appearance was supposed to be about being a maverick and living on your own terms, about marching to the beat of your own drummer. If mohawks become trendy, then having one does not necessarily signify that one is a nonconformist. You can still aesthetically enjoy very tall hair, but the most important body part in the battle against conformity is slightly lower — your brain. You need to have an evolved intellect to avoid being a bah bah sheep conformist.

I’m about to tell you all the most important lesson of a liberal arts education and it is not even going to cost you a hundred grand or whatever higher learning is priced at these days. I was less enamored of the lessons I learned in school, while I was paying off the tab, so here is the most crucial stuff for free. My parents certainly deserve most of the credit for my brain, but my education really helped ingrain some of their lessons.

In order to have an intelligent and human approach to the world, you must learn to be analytical and think critically. Some people are born more or less disposed . . .

Does Anyone Know if Blue Blood Superstar Hottie Jennifer from the Nuns is Okay?

by Amelia G : June 21st, 2008

So I was chatting with my pal Anders from the band Anders Manga yesterday. I had just been looking at some snapshots of us partying together at a Hollywood hotspot just off Hollywood Blvd. When I say Hollywood hotspot, in this instance, I mean a place variously called White Lotus, The Ritual Supper Club, the local bus station, etc. where A-listers like Mark Wahlberg can go to bang porn stars cast for the next season of Entourage on HBO. At any rate, I’ll post the pics shortly and add a link, but Anders and I were just talking about this and that and he asked if I had heard from Jennifer of The Nuns recently.

Descended from Welsh royalty and initially known as Jennifer Miro in the earliest 1970’s incarnation of The Nuns as a seminal punk band in San Francisco, Jennifer steered the band in a more gothic direction over time and was variously known as Jennifer Anderson or Tiffany Tarantula or Maitresse Jennifer. The Nuns were huge in San Francisco and opened for bands like The Ramones and The Damned and were even on the bill for the very last Sex Pistols show. Jennifer also had a role in Dr. Caligari, the seminal cinema of transgression film from Stephen Sayadian and Jerry Stahl, who were also responsible for Cafe Flesh. However, Maitresse Jennifer or Mistress Jennifer is probably best known to members of the Blue Blood boards as the Blue Blood hottie who asked all the most interesting questions about love in the kinky tumultuous world of fame, wealth, and rock and roll.

[13:10] Anders Manga: hey have you heard from Jennifer? from nuns?
[13:10] Anders Manga: she vanished?
[13:11] AmeliaG: not in ages. I was in pretty regular contact with her, so I wonder if she got married or sex murdered
[13:11] Anders Manga: i heard her friend in the band was murd…

SuicideGirls Bizarre Sex Site Lawsuit

blueblood.net — Strange tale of a model getting sued by a sex site, raising money to fund her lawsuit against the sex site that she claims duped her, then settling the lawsuit and raising more money to fund her legal defense by getting people to sign up for the sex site again. I want the normality of R Kelly’s lawsuit – this is too hard for me to follow.

I think I like Encyclopedia Dramatica better than Wikipedia. On the rare occasions I look at anything on Wikipedia, I generally get so sad that I can’t make art for days. But I was just shown a mention of myself on Encyclopedia Dramatica and was amused by it. I think it is because Encyclopedia Dramatica admits what it is and Wikipedia pretends to be something it is not. I feel I am being utterly fair and even-handed, but it is still funny.

Blue Blood takes on the “settlement” with conspiracy theories and lulz. If you only read one of the articles, read this one. Amelia G is busting Philip’s nuts harder than a whore in need of crack money.

And the meta-journalism award for funniest title on an article about my legal beat coverage goes to Gram Ponante for:

Report: Altporn world angry that drama is going away

The copyright fight between the photographer Lithium Picnic, his partner, Apnea, and their former employer, the site Suicide Girls, has been settled, Lithium Picnic says.

SuicideGirls vs Lithium Picnic Lawsuit Settled

by Amelia G : June 15th, 2008

So I guess this is just weird sex trial coverage week at BlueBlood.net. First Max Hardcore gets convicted, then Ira Isaacs gets a stay, and then R. Kelly got acquitted. Now it appears that notoriously litigious, Hot Topic-esque, altporn, membership site SuicideGirls (aka SG) has settled their most recent lawsuit. It is hard to keep track of all their legal scuffles, but this was the one against their former contractor fetish photographer Philip Warner and his collaborator altmodel Apnea.

The initial dispute between SuicideGirls and Apnea appeared to arise because she modeled with a girl named Katie for a forthcoming site, which had offered her and Katie disproportionately large sums of money for a simple nude photo shoot. Even though this new site had not launched yet and most planned sites never do launch, SG was particularly bent out of shape about the Apnea and Katie photos because Katie had also reportedly worked as SG’s accountant. This presumably meant that she was privy to very proprietary information. SG went so ballistic over this that they not only took away Apnea’s complimentary site membership, but they put a stop payment on a check they had already written to her.

The dispute between comically psycho-competitive SuicideGirls and their staff photographer Philip Warner appeared to arise when Philip posted on the internet that he was going to be adding community features to his own web site, basically making it a lot more like SG. According to AltPorn.net’s exclusive interview with Apnea, SG handed Philip a new and more exclusionary contract one day after he announced his web site intentions. He refused to sign the new more controlling contract, so one day later SG made a public break with him. . . .

Leaving Teenage Girls with Ephebophile R Kelly is the Real Crime

by Amelia G : June 14th, 2008

Yesterday, R. Kelly was acquitted of charges for child pornography which have been pending for nearly six years now. If I believed he were innocent, I would think it was a real travesty to have such horrible accusations hanging over his head for so long. Now, the extremely witty Josh Levin over at Slate and the highly respected Bill Wyman over at Hitsville have both been covering the R. Kelly trial and associated tribulations with exceptional thoroughness and panache. If you want to know way too much about R&B singer and producer R. Kelly and his penchant for underage girls, I definitely recommend the work of both of these writers. I’m going to try to break it down for y’all here though.

First of all, I think the irony police need to be called. This week Max Hardcore was handed a criminal conviction for making videos of adult women dressed youthfully and engaging in consensual extreme sex acts, most likely including watersports (not the jet-ski kind), videos for which Max Hardcore had full documentation that the women were legally adult and consented to appearing on video and having said video distributed. The same week R. Kelly got excused for making videos of allegedly underage women engaging in arguably consensual extreme acts, definitely including watersports (not the jet-ski kind), videos for which R. Kelly could produce no documentation that the women were not underage or had consented to have their image recorded and shared in this way.

I feel sorry for R. Kelly. I truly do. I suspect he is not competent to handle his own affairs, yet, being rich, he is surrounded by people who apparently regularly take him for as much money as they can carry away. Even the star witness for the prosecution stated . . .

You are in a mall when the zombies attack. You have:

1. one weapon, real or fictional.
2. one song, real or fictional, blasting on the speakers.
3. one famous person, real or fictional, to fight alongside you

Here are my answers:

1. One slutty outfit that Adam Monroe really really really likes.
2. It’s So Easy by GNR, Ministry/Skold extended remix because I want to scream, “turn around, bitch, I’ve got a use for you!” before zombie-smashing
3. Adam Monroe (yes, you are a dork like me if you get the reference)

If someone is interested in you romantically and/or sexually, does that make you like them less?

If you are looking for more friends, does it upset you off if someone expresses that they are looking for something else and might have a sexual or romantic interest in you?

If you do not want more people in your life, do you find an expression of sexual or romantic interest to be an intrusion?

If you are oriented towards one-night-stands or brief relationships, do you automatically stop having affection or interest grow for someone once they express sexual or romantic interest in you?

If you are oriented towards long-term relationships or marriage, do you start evaluating someone along more exacting life partner criteria once they express sexual or romantic interest in you?

Basically, do you like someone hot for you less?

Max Hardcore and Ira Isaacs and Obscenity

by Amelia G : June 12th, 2008

I’d like to take a moment out from my busy schedule of rolling around on the floor laughing at the recent obscenity prosecutions in the United States, in order to comment on them. Veteran adult video performer and producer Max Hardcore was just found guilty of obscenity in Florida. For those who are unaware of his oeuvre, Max Hardcore was the first guy on the extreme-hardcore-with-teens bus. Whether or not you really want to see gaping anal or watersports or puking in a sexual context or even naked chicks who look younger than twenty-two, Max Hardcore certainly deserves both credit and responsibility for bringing such things into the popular culture. Apparently, along with credit for his ground-breaking work in rough sex on camera comes an attempt by the State of Florida to nail him on 20 counts of distributing obscene materials through the mails and internet. Now I have it on good authority that various government agents have been so anxious to bust Max Hardcore over the years that one such over-eager and nervous gent once accidentally discharged a firearm in Max’s house, during a study of paperwork, such that repairs were needed. Now, don’t get me wrong, Blue Blood magazine in print used to get screeners of Max’s movies way before they got as extreme as they supposedly are now. And I couldn’t sit through one then. At the time, I was just like, how did some construction worker manage to parlay an interest in sex into this huge career?

Now Blue Blood art director Forrest Black and I used to enjoy going to all the adult industry trade shows. We attended the adult video shows in Vegas since the pre-Internet times when the adult video show was a little room in the Sands which was part of CES, the Consumer Electronics Show. The very first time I encountered Max Hardcore in person, we shared an elevator at one of those shows and Max told Forrest he liked his fun fur coat. That was about the extent of the interaction and it was still enough for me to be blown away by Max’s charisma. Max Hardcore has that kind of rockstar thing where you stand next to him and he just exudes hotness. He has perfect manners, only you just know he is nasty as all get-out in the bedroom. He has that total Madonna in the living room and whore in the bedroom thing down and he is just very appealing on a basic lizard brain level. Everyone knows a guy where chicks do things with him that they would normally never do. Max Hardcore is one of . . .

My quiz results are not particularly surprising, although they fail to take into account that I require the iced latte from the foodie coffeehouse and I’m not quiet. The rest is wholly accurate.

You love books but by no means are you a nerd! You sip ice coffe while reading a good book. You are a little on the quiet side but you dream big and load. If you find a good book let me know, K?

If you care about fashion stuff, my accessories were courtesy of Antiseptic Fashion, shirt through the kindness of Retail Slut, and skirt by Donna Karan. This reminds me that I bought new makeup in Portland but have not gotten around to unpacking it. I really meant to go to many festivities this weekend, but my schedule got all turned around and I spaced and was kinda off on what day it was until too late. I left my Blackberry charger in San Francisco.

This month has been really hard so far, but I’m feeling a little happier now.

And here is a hot photo I shot (and like) of people in love kissing each other. You know, to make up for posting something about my personal rage. Lots more free on BlueBlood.net.
