Editor Thomas S. Roche writes, “As I’ve mentioned in previous memoirs, my unholy allegiance in the Tripartite Pact of genre fiction, erotica and death rock made, in 1992, for an instant monsterfuck between the salacious vamps of Blue Blood and my overwrought brain. Back then, Blue Blood was a sumptuous, slick print zine featuring dead sexy ghoul girls dry humping each other and their tattooed fuck boys with all the abandon of a European Ferret after three pots of French Roast, not to mention erotic science fiction, sanguine but not sanguinary vampire porn, and, yes, monsterfucking, plus opinionated reviews of everything from punk shows to hardcore porn to the new Thunder Five .45 Long Colt revolver, which got extra points because you could load it with .410 shotgun shells. This, surely, was the midnight Tom Waits-Skinny Puppy wonderland come to life, with fucking.

It’s been a lot of years, now, but Blue Blood is still going strong, with a huge website collecting the counterculture erotica from all of Amelia G and Forrest Black’s web sites, including Barely Evil, Rubber Dollies, and Gothic Sluts. What’s more, Blue Blood now offers an extensive array of message boards, turning it into a true online community.

Amelia recently lured me to a dark alley to discuss the counterculture and get cranky.”

Yup, it is all boys this week. I apologize to those of you this causes pain and promise more females in the future. More images from this shoot by yours truly and Forrest Black on Blue Blood now, for your viewing pleasure.

I got that drunk womanizer blogger’s book at one of the airports I was at recently.

Has anyone ever gotten a book deal from posting on LJ or do people not view that as really blogging?

It kind of bothers me when people respond to a picture post I make with something along the lines of how the photographic subject is so hot that it would not be possible to make them look bad. It makes me want to post unflattering photos of people or direct folks to any tabloid on the stands. Angelina Jolie is pretty hot, but any trip to the supermarket will point out that it is in fact possible for her to look bad in a picture.

The photographer actually makes a difference. And, even with a great photographer and a great subject, not every image is a winner.

One of the reasons people want to shoot with me and Forrest Black is that we make people look good. It is part of my artistic vision to do so and it makes a difference if Forrest and I are behind the lens or some GWC.

If a person posts a picture of themselves, then it makes sense to make “you are hot” types of responses, but here is a tip: If the photographer posted the image, they might prefer some comments on the photograph, rather than comments on how much you’d like to fuck the person in it.

Just posted this in a community, so thought I’d post it here too.

A feather collar is sort of like an animal print, isn’t it? 😉

Sugar skulls 🙂

I went out on the town last night and had a great time. I went out Tuesday night to something completely different and had a great time. I missed someone’s birthday on Monday which I would have liked to have also attended, although I guess I was working on an interview thingie at the time.

I’m feeling kind of stabby at the moment.

Sometimes when I get to travel or spend time with friends and family (people who care about me and are not wound up with BS) . . . well, it makes the BS that much harder to bear. It is like I can tell the difference between fun and human contact versus stress and conflict.

I ordered laptops like two months ago and then there was some weird thing where they needed a response from me and I didn’t see it in my email because it has been being mail-bombed relentlessly. I delete thousands of emails every day and I’m not caught up. I’ve got multiple people working on stuff like MySpace, but I’m not sure I want to have someone else go through my emails, even if I could. I should just re-order, but I stress overload every time I go to do it. And now I’m going to be traveling without one this month.

People are always hitting up Blue Blood models to try to get something out of me and they are always hitting me up to get something out of Blue Blood models. The idea was about celebration, not competitive theft. Nobody ever wants to support new models either, but they sure get all fascinated once the girls are on Blue Blood.

Also, here is a tip: If you want to get something from me, make sure you are pitching something reasonable and fair, and fucking ask me or contact an appropriate person in my organization. If you want to have Blue Blood sponsor a party or you want to interview me or Forrest or one of the photographers or writers or models, then contact the press email on the Blue Blood MySpace Profile or BlueBlood.com and not a random model. [EDIT: Well, now I feel extra-stabby. Looks like, when the MySpace HTML got nuked, supposedly by hacking, it looks like we didn’t put the email contacts back up. Fuck. The paragraph Forrest and I wrote for that was good and I don’t know if I can do it as well on a second go-round.]

I will now say that part of why I feel stabby is that my job is fucking hard enough without having to deal with competitive and exclusionary dicks trying to make it harder.

I keep having major news outlets interview me for articles which then get mysteriously shelved. WTF? I guess Penthouse just did a cool thing on Blue Blood and I should write something about that when I’m feeling less pissed off and frustrated.

Even watching TiVo pissed me off tonight.

My girl TC did a really kickass interview with Racci, formerly of The Genitorturers and Dope, now of Wednesday 13, and all around good guy. This is a classically Blue Blood interview because it has all the requisite personal voice and depravity I look for most in writers. Some of the most memorable lines from Racci’s mouth in TC’s Blue Blood interview with him are as follows:

“. . . but you can’t be throwing dynamite at a prostitute.”

“Blue Blood rocks.”

Bleah.

I’m going to something tomorrow, where I will need to be able to explain what the heck my job is. I don’t really know how to do this and, so far, my last two posts requesting assistance figuring this out have not gotten as much response as I’d hoped for.

In the next few hours, I need to have some portfolio stuff put together and I never know what images to put in a portfolio. Editing for a particular topic is no problem with my huge body of work, but selecting the “it” images to represent that whole body of work is really really hard.

So, there is yet another cesspool of anonymous posting on the internet at AltGossip.com and apparently some people think it has something to do with me because a lot of BlueBlood.com models are mentioned on the site.

I’ve got a news bulletin for the world: BlueBlood.com is the second biggest site in the genre and it is only a small portion of what Blue Blood does. I’ve been doing what I do for a very long time and Blue Blood has provided an amazing springboard for a lot of people, myself included. Blue Blood’s policies make it pretty likely that people who model for it will have credits besides Blue Blood. First of all, Blue Blood has regularly assisted models in getting magazine credits in a hell of a lot of publications besides Blue Blood in print. Blue Blood has provided referrals for television and radio and other gigs. Blue Blood has both built and hosted sites for a lot of people who have worked on Blue Blood projects. I’d have to do an exact count, but I believe that, of the 316 hotties currently live on BlueBlood.com, more than one out of every five has a site.

Are models from BlueBlood.com all over AltGossip.com? Yes. Are models from BlueBlood.com all over FetishGossip.com? Yes. Are models from BlueBlood.com all over SG? Yes. Are models from BlueBlood.com all over GG? Yes. Are models from BlueBlood.com all over BA? Yes. Are models from BlueBlood.com all over most media? Yes. For models we discover or promote directly, we don’t always make a huge big deal about the fact that they appear on BlueBlood.com in every single venue we hook them up with, but the info is there if one cares to look.

I admit that the main reason anyone from Blue Blood has been on MTV or Comedy Central is because I own Viacom.

I just got a new purple Gimp from Cuddley Rigor Mortis because Kristin rules! It is like her traditional Gimp, only fuzzy and in Blue Blood purple. I took Kristin’s Mummy with me to get my shot today. The doctor thought it was interesting and was very amused by the name of her company.
