I’m a big fan of flamboyantly gigantic eyelashes. They can be a pain to put on and take off, but they really complete a dramatic makeup look. I love photographing them and I like to wear them from time to time. A downside of the really good fake eyelashes is that they tend to be […]
Are ray gun vibrators steampunk? This is the sort of question I lie awake at night contemplating. Steampunk is a sub-genre of science fiction/fantasy/speculative fiction, which builds on the works of H. G. Wells and Jules Verne. Now H. G. Wells and Jules Verne were both geniuses and can be forgiven for imagining future technology […]
A long long time ago, in a land far far from here, my friend Julia Winter and I were going to a show at Toad’s Place and went driving all over Connecticut beforehand to hole-in-the-wall military surplus stores. We found one which had a huge sort of vat enclosure, full to the brim with pairs […]
It seems like I’ve been going to a lot of barbecues lately. Probably partly because of the proximity of the 4th of July and partly because people are partying at home more in a down economy.

Especially functional LEGO architecture. Jack Streat has put a decade’s worth of LEGO collecting to good use. He builds LEGO block-firing guns. His […]
BlueBlood.com will be finishing up 2008 with a celebratory balloons set of the lovely Voltaire, lensed by yours truly and Forrest Black. Nothing says “party” like balloons on a hot naked tattooed girl. Well, maybe other things say “party” like that, but balloons on a hot naked tattooed girl are still very festive. Blue Blood’s […]
Dana Dark is one of Blue Blood’s online OGs. It was after staying at her beautifully-appointed home in Houston for a week that Blue Blood launched its first membership site. Dana creates beauty and warmth in every little nook and cranny of her home. Like, if there is some tiny square of wall in the […]
As a holiday, St Patrick’s Day has dubious origins but fabulous iconography. Although the holiday tends to serve as both an expression of Irish pride and an excuse to get thoroughly blotto (Hi Funkatron), the origins of Saint Paddy’s are neither in drunkenness nor Ireland. Although observation of the holiday in the Americas was recorded […]
