OBSCURA Photos
Tuesday, May 5th, 2009OBSCURA Tonight
Friday, May 1st, 2009
Tonight at The Trocadero Theatre is OBSCURA, which is the pre-party/meet and greet for tomorrow’s big alternative fashion show contest Catwalk Tragedy. I’ll be displaying some of my work along with other artists and photographers like Lithium Picnic, Kyle Cassidy and S. Jenx. There’s also various performances including Philly’s own Live Not On Evil and Mighty Mike Saga.
The art show will be up for both events but I will only be there for tonight’s portion of the two day event.
The Vaderatrix [Kind of NSFW: Vinyl-Clad Villainess]
Friday, April 17th, 2009So I was Googling various nonsense to see what would come up via Google images whilst I read my morning emails and sipped my thinking juice (aka: coffee). Eventually I found this gem of a picture;
Behold! The Vaderatrix! Alluring yet frightening! Disturbing yet awesome! I mean come on, she (or he ’cause one never knows) even has the life-support doohickey and the utility belt. All that’s missing is the whip and a bottle of Astroglide. Once again this proves that geeks are some of the kinkiest freaks on this green rock.
I’m sure this picture has already made the rounds but hell, how can I not share something like this? I have no idea where the original photo comes from, so if you know let me know, but from the looks of it the shot was probably taken at a convention. Shocker I know.
Certainly puts a new twist to the famous Star Wars quote “And now, your highness, we will discuss the location of your hidden rebel base… “
PrettyGeek.net
Friday, April 3rd, 2009
Fellow blogger, geek and really good friend of mine Hugh Casey has a fantastic site for those who have a fine appreciation of sexy geeks. PrettyGeek.net features various photographs of geeks in nerdtastic outfits ranging from the infamous Princes Leia slave girl bikini to pirates. If it’s a part of geek culture it’s probably going to make its way onto this blog. There’s nothing naughty about this site and is all around work safe, which for some I guess is a bit of a let-down. But hey, naked geeks isn’t what PrettyGeek.net is about. It is in fact all about showing the masses that geeks aren’t all a bunch of unwashed, unkempt, uncouth, socially inept freaks that live in their parent’s basement. Many can be pretty damned swank -and- frigging hot.

Combichrist “Sent To Destroy” Music Video
Wednesday, December 10th, 2008I’ll admit that I’m a big fan of Combichrist in all it’s stompy glory. And when they released their newest video, “Sent To Destroy” from their upcoming Today We Are All Demons, there was a happy surprise – the cameo of Bill Moseley of The Devil’s Rejects fame.
Yeah, I’m easily pleased.
Voltaire’s “Happy Birthday (My Old Friend) Video”
Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008Voltaire, music’s vagabond-gypsy-gothic-pirate, has just released his first full length music video for his song “Happy Birthday (My Olde Friend)” from the new cd To The Bottom of the Sea. This may not be a big deal for you unless A: You’re a Voltaire fan (of which you should be) or B: You were in or know everyone in the video (which I do, so nah). It was filmed on location at Philly’s Shampoo Nightclub (home to the weekly Goth night Nocturne) by Jochen Schoberth of Etage Music in Germany and directed by Voltaire himself.
