the book Cottonmouth Kisses Have I mentioned how much I love the site Haute Macabre?
From the lavish editorial finds
in their
impeccably-curated archive of Tear Sheets
to the highly covetable
objets-de-art
many an absinthe-hued eye would ogle with envy
in the dandy-of-dandiest Domestigoth‘s
high-end digs,
this virtual locale of the monochromatic cognoscenti
also posts invaluable blogature
with topics ranging from How To Wear A Headband And Not Look Dumb
to DIY projects for any nifty-crafty
cobweb-slingers interested in harnessing creativity
to learn How To Make Your Own Latex Gear,
or even rock a wicked take on Christian Louboutin for Rodarte’s Spiky Heels With Studs.
Short of the long (of tooth)?
This site is bloody genius.
The following archived cough! STOLEN cough! editorial post was written by
the sultry wordsmith Samantha, a veteran Suicide Girl who shares her personal exploits at
Five Twenty Three [dot] com
But enough of my incessant rambling–now it’s
“…Over To You, Sam!”
Vampiricus Synonymous
Sun-Sensitive Brocade Cloak by Jared Gold Couture † Vivienne Westwood Tie Shirt
Dark G-Star Denim † Romanian Militia Motorcycle Boots
Seeing as how I have spent my entire weekend glued to my computer working while listening to the first of the Sookie Stackhouse books on audio, I feel it totally appropriate to post this vampire editorial sent to us by Clint Catalyst. Since Nixon posted his spoken word video a few weeks back, he and I have bonded over our mutual love of True Blood, so in Fangtasia Fashion, here’s a first look at his recent shoot by Hoda Amel Abdalla.
Clint is shown wearing pieces from Jared Gold’s Caspian Collection runway pieces. Each item is a one off, and was not duplicated for wide distribution.
Felt Top Hat with Couture Grosgrain Trim † Vintage Victorian Mourning Suit circa late 1800s

Friday, August 2, 2002, 8am
Featured as an author who’s a “Weight Watchers success story.” Not even jokin’…
Watch the Video
HBO: Sex Bytes
Episode 2.1
Appeared as myself, modeling for both custom latex meisters So Hip It Hurts and Dark Garden Corsetry
Discovery Channel: Beyond Bizarre
Episode 7
Available to order from Direct Video
VH1: Sound Affects
Feature & interview
For this show, I was interviewed about a song that has had a profound affect on my development/in my life. My choice? “Smalltown Boy” by Bronski Beat. I have quite an extended anecdote re: this piece–after all, I grew up on a gravel road in Arkansaw…
Da ALI G Show
Episode #4, “Art/Media”
I’m in this for something like a nanosecond. Seriously. Blink and you will miss me.
Femme TV
Featured interview
July 98 episode
Performed “Flouncing About” and accidentally caught show hostess Machiko Saito’s dress on fire with my cigarette! (no lie — and precisely why editors left the footage in).
Strange Universe
Interview regarding my duties hosting “Roderick’s Chamber,” modeling for Charles Gatewood, Gothy Goth Goth stuff.
Entertainment Tonight
A feature on Rob Schneider from SNL and Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo, which includes a visit to a nightclub where I was a designated host for the evening. There’s a scene in which Schneider happens upon me sitting with his mother, as she “casually” flips through a album full of his childhood photos. The location + my appearance at the time = wherein the humor lies…
The First Cut
Episode about Ye Olde ‘G’ Word, in which I’m interviewed at Roderick’s. Maing, do I ever wish I still had a VHS copy of this one; nothing about the show is listed on IMDB whatsoever.

visual artist Liz McGrath ☆ Thumbs’ Up to “the imdb”; What I’m Listening To/Things You Should See ☆
First off, thanks to all of you wherever who did whatever, whenever that made my imdb stats jump so high this week. I don’t know if it’s a result of my presence in the *(cough! cough!)* “Celebrity Lifestyle’ issue of Wedding Dresses magazine that came out earlier this month. I mean, I knew that was a mainstream fluke… I just didn’t expect to see it, well, just about everywhere. Especially, say—on a shopping excursion at 3 a.m. for Redi-Whip at Ralph’s.
Then again, I also didn’t anticipate going from having three cameras in my possession to none in the span of a week and a half.
As with anything in my life, it seems I have to learn my lessons the hardest way imaginable. Rather than talk about despair (I mean, please—how many years was I Too Goth To Handle? There’s only so long I can go around having a bad time everywhere!), I’m just gonna “suck it up’ and buy a Canon that’s been recommended.
So…since I don’t have any “exclusive’ photos at the moment, I figured:
Why not post about some of my current obsessions?
Today I’m diggin’ on…

A runway look from a while back that’s haunting me in the best way imaginable…
Somebody. Help me. Please!
Who’s responsible for this stroke of slick black genius?
«©»
Then– of course, what’s a little…screen-saver/site-scan shopping?
Granted, I can’t fight off the lyrics that come to mind of someone who truly understands the meaning of the word irony: Lily Allen. Her demo “I Don’t Know” is such a strychnine-soaked smiley-faced commentary on contemporary society; rarely a day goes by that the sardonic lyrics don’t get queued up on the ol’ iPod.
Despite the cadence that resonates through lines like:
“I am a weapon of massive consumption/
It’s not my fault/it’s how I’m programmed to function…”
Here’s where I succumb to that which I
COVET (cause I just plain)
LOVE IT.
Spot-Check These Finds Among My “Wish List of the Moment”…

“A MILLENNIAL… that’s a SLACKER? An oxymoron, or just plain moronic? In this (ahem) “self-help” clip, Clint accepts the dare request to provide a helpful nudge to a Millennial who seems to be doing something revolutionary: NOTHING. MUCH. AT. ALL.”
