Shots Forrest Black and I did of the effervescently delightful Vima already appeared on the Blue Blood Boutique and in our Marquis pages, but we just posted the first full set of her to BlueBlood.com. I bet this huge set ends up being the first of many because we had a great time shooting these and of course you can see how great the results are.
Additional NSFW shot at this link and of course the whole series appears on BlueBlood.com.
I just posted this shot from the Blue Blood Boutique in a community, but I figured my friends deserved to see it too. Trundle on over to the Boutique site for more viewing goodness. Set of this hottie posting to BlueBlood.com soon.
You can check out Voltaire’s new hair on her profile page at BlueBlood.com, but please be advised that link is erotic and NSFW.

BLUEBLOOD.COM COUPLES SECTION LAUNCHES
http://www.blueblood.com/
There is now a series of exclusive interactive photo sets on BlueBlood.com, featuring real people who are actually into each other. Amelia G says in the tour, “The original Blue Blood print magazine erotic pictorials featured only interactive sets of people who would actually have sex in real life and they were photographed doing whatever they really liked to do when the camera was not there. A significant percentage of the people who posed were either married or living together at the time or later tied the knot. None of us did it for the money at the time. It was about celebrating ourselves, our choices, our sexuality, our lives. People often ask me if I shoot softcore or hardcore. I suppose Forrest and I started off shooting interactive couples and later shot a higher proportion of pinup work. But, to me, the terminology is meaningless. There is only true and beautiful versus false and ugly. Blue Blood has always been about rejecting the notion that being artistic or different somehow means you are not entitled to the rewards of the larger society. Just because you have an unusual haircut does not mean you are not entitled to love. You deserve the same love as anyone. And maybe a bit kinkier sex.”
BLUE BLOOD BOUTIQUE ADDS BEARS & FREE PHOTO GALLERIES
http://www.bluebloodboutique.com/
The Blue Blood Boutique has recently added the only thing that could be more cuddly than a Blue Blood hoodie – a Blue Blood teddy bear! The adorable lavender Blue Blood cuddly bear is made of soft, shaggy chenille which feels so nice to snuggle up with. The little hands and feet of the bear are miniature beanbag style, so it is more fun to play with the bear. The bear has a black T-shirt just like you and it is proudly emblazoned with the Blue Blood skull logo in silver metallic paint. Also, check out the free galleries of Chaotika, Sun Karma, funkatron, junkprincess, Omen, and Alexa Hex, and more on the way. If you’ve got shots of yourself in Blue Blood gear, send them on it and you could appear on the Boutique site!

http://sugarclick.com/2006/03/16/blue-blood/
The extremely awesome hot writer Audacia Ray reviewed BlueBlood.com for hot new blog SugarClick. She called Blue Blood “Hands-down, the premier site for Gothic pin-ups” and went on to say, “Amelia G and Forrest Black have been steadily building their gothic porn empire since the print magazine Blue Blood was launched in 1992. BlueBlood.com is like the granpappy of all goth porn – it houses Barely Evil, Gothic Sluts and Rubber Dollies, which combined have tens of thousands of pictures of gothic hotties. The site also features up-to-date writings on Gothic subculture and other topics, plus a massive archive of the same . . . And the girls. Sigh. Forget spitting on it – these girls will get naked on your grave, or for that matter, Johnny Ramone’s grave . . . Blue Blood’s volume and quality of both models and photographs cannot be beat. Add that to the fact that the site is still run the way it was in the beginning and hasn’t sold out to any big-bucks temptations . . . The photos are typically nice and big so you can get up close and personal, and while some models stay quite chaste, others show you the goods . . .”

http://www.jaxonjaganov.com/reviews/BlueBlood.php
Some of what Jaxon Jaganov had to say about BlueBlood.com was: “It’s a great deal that gets my highest recommendation … For a long time now – over a decade – Amelia and Forrest have been steadily producing print mags and websites devoted to covering the goth/fetish/whatever-you-want-to-call-it scene and they’ve done it with the heartfelt authenticity of real fans. Their models are the real thing too – they’re tough punk babes, slinky gothic sirens and in general, they’re psycho women who’d be all too happy to take your poser face and ram it through a pane of glass. No suburban mallrats here. This is the real shit – lowbrow punk-goth porn royalty for life … Membership gets you access to one of the best collections of alt-goth-punk-fetish photographs on the web at a great price compared to other softcore photo sites and erotic art photo sites.”

You need to hit the newsstand quickly if you want to get one of the last copies available of #36 before #37 hits the stands. For Marquis #36, Amelia G wrote in-depth profiles of Jax, Sun Karma, Toxic Toons, and the wild Zodiac Party. Big in America features beautiful Forrest Black and Amelia G-lensed photos of Jax, Sun Karma, Scar 13, Dana Dark, and Masuimi Max. Marquis #37 will feature Amelia G’s writing about such seemingly disparate topics Kristen Tercek’s plushes and Mistress Abigail De’Ath, as well as hot newcomers Eva Victoria and Vima, and designers Anisse and Venus Prototype. Scar 13 modeled Tercek’s Creature from the Black Lagoon plush and built a cool swamp set for it, just because Amelia really wanted a swamp. Awesome.

–AMELIA G & FORREST BLACK
So I got an instant message a couple hours ago from a friend about shooting. Lately I’ve been online on that timeline more than I probably should be.
Tonight, I overslept for a 10pm fetish ball. Ended up going with wet hair, no makeup, and normal (for me) clothes.
Was still fun, once I woke up a bit.
So the rainy weather cold snap we had in Los Angeles is done and these annoying college kids who live near me have their basketball hoop in the street again. I really wouldn’t care, except they feel compelled to scream at the top of their lungs and clap during the games and they tend to play for many many hours at a stretch. They will literally sometimes start at sunup and go until shortly after sundown and they act pissy if I say want to drive somewhere and they have to stop blocking my driveway for a minute.
If I had a bunch of my friends out there playing music at exactly that volume, I don’t think it would take long for the police to be called by someone. But I can’t quite work myself up personally to call the police on these guys.
I could call the police.
I could throw water balloons at them.
I could get a paintgun.
I could continue going outside and asking them politely to please play without the shouting. I think, no matter that I say please, it pisses them off that I am not blinded by their desirability with their shirts off. Because generic haircuts and faces so average they are interchangably forgettable are totally made up for my sporto bodies for me, especially when someone is being an inconsiderate twat. Or not.
What should I do?
I’ve been itching to do more different conventions this year. I was just thinking about when I went to Boskone when I was a young teen and there were tons of other people who had read so many of the same books I had, books that my high school drinking buddies, cool as they were, sure hadn’t. I got to wear my mom’s old sparkley evening gowns. My friend Sue and I ran around the convention dressed outlandishly and staying up around the clock and laughing at and with all the crazyness. Some older guy tried to take my mom’s evening gown off me in a brightly lit hotel hallway. I fooled around with my first boy with an earring. I’d thought they were bad before then, because my parents had told me so, but the side with the earring was facing away from me when I met the boy. I don’t remember his name, although I do remember what he looked like and flying up to Boston to visit him later and him trying to teach me to drive and his mom trying to take me to church. Ron maybe? I wonder what Sue is doing now. Oddly enough, the only person I am even peripherally in touch with now from that time is the random older guy who tried to take my dress off in a hallway in front of an audience.
Yes, I just saw the most recent Star Wars on DVD. Star Wars doesn’t move me like it once did.
Can anyone here tell me how to set up a Google Alert?
Our newest Blue Blood hotties Omen and Alexxa Hex model the awesome new Blue Blood bear here:
More free pix of Omen and Alexxa are at http://www.bluebloodboutique.com along with a sexy close-up of the bear. I am so stoked about the bear. junkprincess is so into the bear that she painted her whole bedroom and got bedding to match him!
What conventions, conferences, tradeshows, major parties, and similar events do people here like to attend?
I just found out that a business event I was planning to go to is going to feature dodgeball games.
When I was in second grade, I taught a Japanese boy to read English. The first English words he was comfortable saying in public were “You out!” in dodgeball. Because I liked working with Seiko, I feel a mild positive association with this.
I also enjoyed the movie with Vince Vaugn and Ben Stiller well enough.
But DODGEBALL? Now? For grown-ass real-life businesspeople??? WTF?
Although, prior to this, Voltaire modeled for Spin and for the Blue Blood Boutique with her new hairstyle, our recent day at the beach was her first real shoot with it. She still looks amazing and we had a lot of fun shooting these, even though it was really chilly outside. Maybe, for my more northern pals, it would not have seemed so cold, but Forrest, Voltaire, and I are all used to Los Angeles.

Happy Green Beer Day from Blue Blood!
