Happy New Year from the supernatural realm
Mario here:
Are we all nursing hangovers or is it just me?
Once again, my artsy friends hosted another blowout: a rockin' Xmas Rock Band party. The theme: the cheesy Christmas Sweater. Here's the winning outfit, not exactly a sweater but no one else beat the cheese factor (notice the red Mexican wrestling boots).
Sad news that I'm sure most of you have heard. On Christmas Day, Eartha Kitt passed away. Most famous to many of us as Catwoman from the Batman TV show.
Eartha Kitt was born Eartha Mae Keith in 1927 in a South Carolina cotton field. From those impoverished roots, she rose to become a top international cabaret star. She wasn't shy about much (once getting booted from the White House for her outspoken views against the Vietnam War), billing herself as excellent and decadent. Among her songs:
I Want To Be Evil, and the delicious
Santa Baby.
On the VAMPIRE front: This last weekend of 2008, I give you the latest
The Hollow Fang newsletter. Read about alien probing, an undead obituary, and ads for getting your black belt in Chow Mein Kick Boxing.
Enjoy!
