Rolling Stone is known for its decades of quality photography and occasional envelope-pushing magazine covers. The brilliant Matthew Rolston shot Alexander Skarsgård, Anna Paquin, and Stephen Moyer in a variety of menage-a-trois scenarios. I would say some of the inside photos look surprisingly stiff for someone of Matthew Rolston’s caliber, but, in all fairness, Skarsgård […]
Future generations are going to study the decades after the popularization of internet interaction turned most of the population into emo feuding crybabies and shake their heads in disbelief. Apparently, back in May, Brendan Perry of Dead Can Dance called Peter Murphy of Bauhaus “a sandwich short of a picnic”. Brendan Perry of course posted […]
Both the witch doll and the devil goat plush, pictured here with the awesome Eric Griffin of the Murderdolls, were created by Ugly Shyla of the dark Ugly Art.

It is no secret that I love the vampire genre. I received Honors at Wesleyan University for my thesis on vampire legends as a paradigm for aggressive human sexuality. And I would like the record to show that I will be speaking on exactly that topic this weekend at Vampire Con in Hollywood. I’ll be […]
If you are alt-identified, yet want Kris Allen to beat Adam Lambert in this week’s American Idol finale, then you are complicit in your own oppression. Rebels who want Adam Lambert to lose must just hate themselves. People like to fuss about sex and sexuality, but the place where Adam Lambert is actually unusual is […]
