This week
This week it is Halloween so how could we not have something spooky on the show? So we are talking about this weeks article called “How spooky can be sexy” written by Victoria Blisse.
Talking to a couple of people about coming onto the podcast, very exciting and didn’t ever thing anyone would want to come onto the show.
Did you nominate for the best sex blog?
Did you put in your nomination for the #Top100SexBlogs2016? If not you have missed your chance. You can see the landing page here with all the nomination on it. So many have been put forward it is going to be a huge task to go through them all.
The list will be ready for the beginning of December. Looking forward to that.
A thing for vampires
For me vampires are not sexy, they are terrifying just as they should be. A vampire is not your friend, it is a monster that wants to kill you. All I can think of is a praying mantis.
For those who don’t know, this is Rent-A-Ghost
But whay does a vampire represent, why is a vampire sexy? A vampire represents pure power, with no limits or restrictions on what it can do a vampire is all the things we are not. Power is the ultimate aphrodisiac so it is hardly a surprise so many are attracted to them.
Buffy is the start of sexy vampires
We think it is fair to say that Buffy the vampire slayer is probably the start of popularising vampires as being sexy. So it probably fair to blame that show for things like Twilight because without it they just wouldn’t exist.
Vampires on film
There are of course two legendary actors who have plated Dracula. Bela Legosi and Christopher Lee. But wonderful actors in their own rights. But for me being English no one compares to Mr Lee. He is my Dracula.
Less sexy
Something that is much less sexy is a film called “The house that dripped blood” that stared John Pertwee as a vampire. There is nothing quiet like it. If you love a bad/good classic horror film then go for it. It also happens to star Christopher Lee, Jon Pertwee, and Denholm Elliott. You couldn’t ask for a better cast to make a cheesy film.
You can actually watch the whole thing on youtube.
The Dresden Files
Jim Butcher’s series of books following Harry Dresden is a wonderful set of stories all about what it’s like as a wizard private eye and living in a city with vampires, werewolfs, faries, demons, etc. They are a great read.
Comedy
I do love Armstrong & Miller’s representation of old school vampires in the modern world
