Pic of Me at Vampire-Con
![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small}
forrestblack shot this portrait of yours truly at the recent Vampire-Con. He and I shot a bunch of vampire costumes at the event. Free gallery for the perusal of those who do not let fangs get their black panties in a bunch. I also spoke on a panel about vampires and sex. Big shocker that would be my topic; what with Blue Blood and writing my thesis on it and all ;-

Ashes En Pointe
Los Angeles is covered in ash. Where I am in Hollywood, it is at least a fine layer of ash, as opposed to say a raging inferno or one of the areas where it will costs residents thousands of dollars to clean the ash out of their carpets and ventilation systems. Unfortunately I am kind of a delicate flower when it comes to physical adversity and, even running an air cleaner 24/7, my eyes and throat have been burning all week and I’ve felt sick for days.
Getting ready to post the images forrestblack and I shot during Vampire-Con at Vampirella’s Ball. I need to write a short article to accompany the photography, although I’ll have more coverage of the event on video later, so I don’t need to do the full report with this. I think it is awesome that professional event planners put together what I consider more of a proper fandom event in Los Angeles and that they did it on a topic so near and dear to my heart — vampires.
It is probably mostly just the normal biological response I’m having to the endless fires in Southern California, but I keep thinking about the parts which were difficult. I mean, a lot of what I do is really hard. Not like it might be tough for someone else to do, but like it is really a challenge for me personally. I just like to take challenges as head-on as possible. Always have.
I mostly enjoy this. Today I am just feeling a little bit like a ballerina with bleeding toes. But having our city covered in ash is probably supposed to make all Angelenos gothic.

And the night behind them was filled with the crescendoing sound of pursuit.” –William Goldman, The Princess Bride: S. Morgenstern’s Classic Tale of True Love and High Adventure; The “Good Parts” Version

LASIK for Less!
The ad on Facebook reads, “LASIK -The Best for Less
Quality LASIK, affordable prices at LA Sight. Dr. Wallace named “LA’s Best.” Working with you to make LASIK fit your budget.”
Only the accompanying 77×77 pixel thumbnail image for the advertisement shows a woman winking:
This perturbs me. Is it less in the sense that they economize, but you might only be able to see out of one eye when they are done? Is it less in the sense that they only do one eye?
My brother and both my parents wear glasses, but I don’t. Good thing because I’d be the one who just had to try LASIK. I think medical care is kinda like tattoo art and you should wait until you can afford the good professional, but apparently some people just wink happily at less.

Vampire Lady Gaga
Vampire Lady Gaga
by Amelia G : August 21st, 2009
The brilliant Ellen Von Unwerth shot an extensive pictorial of Lady Gaga in vampire drag for Out. The exclusive Out feature is called The Lady is a Vamp. The shoot styling is credited to someone named Nicola Formichetti who is seriously talented and who Bing informs me is the creative director of Dazed and Confused and is responsible for some of the fashion in Vogue Hommes Japan, V, Arena Homme, and others, as well as of course out. Always fun to discover the work of creative people I have not come across before.
Out calls Lady Gaga “Pop’s newest — and gayest — superstar”. One of the things I like about Lady Gaga is that I feel she is someone post-orientation in her approach to sexuality. She has stated often in interviews that she is attracted to women physically but only has romantic relationships with men. I’m not sure if that makes her super-gay, but maybe I am just feeling cantankerous today about people being so bent on labeling sexuality. I do not feel that an individual’s sexuality generally belongs in a tidy little box with a label stickered on it.
Then again, from an editorial perspective, I’m pleased that Out indentifies Lady Gaga as gay, however she defines herself. Because . . .

National Single Cougars Convention for Younger Men & Older Women
National Single Cougars Convention for Younger Men & Older Women
by Amelia G : August 20th, 2009
What do you call a forty-five-year-old guy with a twenty-five-year-old girlfriend? Successful.
What do you call a forty-five-year-old chick with a twenty-five-year-old boyfriend? Cougar.
I’m just going to say right off the bat that I think most people are going to find the most compatibility for the long-term in someone who is around their own age. And, for the short term, I think the age differences are pretty irrelevant. Some sectors of society seem to be all in a tizzy over the idea that decades of women in the workplace have lead to the existence of less gender differentiation in approaches to mating. I don’t think men and women are really all that different naturally, so of course the more the cultural training to be different is removed, the more similarly they will behave.
Cougars are so much a demographic and part of the cultural consciousness today that there are sites for those who fantasize about being . . .
