Flashback








While we're awaiting news from Chris's new movies Push and The Loss Of A Teardrop Diamond I go back in time with 4 publicity photo's for the movie Sunshine. And as always Chris looked great!


Happy Thanksgiving!

We don't really celebrate Thanksgiving here in the UK, although after seeing so many great posts, beautiful photos & delicious receipes, I wish we did!

I'd like to thank my wonderful producer ...(Oscar moment, oh no that's a different dream, wake up Tina!)


Right, as I was saying I'd like to thank all the bloggers that inspire and encourage me everyday and of course all our readers! You are all so important to me & without you this little blog would be pointless :) Have a great day everyday!

Throughout the years the band's line-up constantly revolved and after the release of their fourth studio album, Viva Las Violence, singer Wednesday 13 (At the time the sole remaining original member) folded the group to participate in The Murderdolls.

The Murderdolls would use many Frankenstein Drag Queens songs on the their album; Beyond The Valley of the Murderdolls.

After The Murderdolls went on hiatus, Wednesday 13 put out a new song called "Your Mother Sucks Cocks In Hell" on a compilation album for Metal Sludge. He would then release a greatest hits album under the name "Wednesday 13's Frankenstein Drag Queens", featuring a few new songs. The frontman then decided to put the band to rest and began to record under the Wednesday 13 name.

Shortly after this, 13 and his former band mates in The Graveyard Boulevard patched up old feuds and decided to bring the Frankenstein Drag Queens back, as a part time project. They official reunited on stage in Greensboro, NC. on August 20th 2005. The line-up featured Wednesday 13, Abby Normal and Sicko Zero.

A 10th anniversary box-set, which has been titled "Little Box Of Horrors", was released on the 9th of May(US) and the 29th of May(Europe). The box-set features almost every song the band has ever recorded, with alternate versions of many songs, a DVD which features footage from a 1998 concert, and special artwork. The US and Europe versions of the box-set vary greatly, however. The Europe version will feature different artwork, will be limited to 2666 copies, and will come with a keychain, poster, and exclusive Frankenstein Drag Queens
26-page booklet.

In 1996, Annie and Baby J. Horror decided to create a new band. We started in the punk-hardcore about 91 year and reached a moment where we were no longer identified with the sound and spirit of the group.
Baby Horror born at that time, a project in which we decided to mix everything that we had always liked the aesthetics of cinema dark horror of the 50 ¨ s and the filmography of John Waters' trash mixed with the image of the classic pin ups, they were the foundation of our ideal image.
In terms of our musical icons have always been the Cramps who along with Misfits and Ramones have been our source of inspiration as well as national gangs Paralisis Permanente, Desechables and Alaska y los Pegamoides.

Well, this was a surprise. Bloodslut is a rather unknown Punk band which needs MUCH better recognition and needs to be heard. These dudes managed to pull off a very 80's sounding punk type thing going, so if you're a punk fan you'll be sure to find yourself loving it. Now, the first song on the Cd, titled "Wolfbane" is a pretty good opening song, it is short, chaotic, has some really good guitar in it, and is pretty much just a fun ride. Roughly at the 48 second mark will just show you the niftiness of the guitar, the drums are fast and crazy, but are rather repetitive. Their next song and one of my favorites is Mind Wars. The song opens with a astounding and very catchy bass and drum thing, the vocals have a very rustic and 80's feel, the drums are a good amount better here as well, with a few fun and new ideas for them, the guitar is also very good, they keep a very good beat and is just a lot of fun to listen to, I could see a car chase being based to the nature and speed of the song. Wolf In The Churchyard is a equally good song, its has the chaoticness that I have now come to look for in this band, it has a few different approaches to the punk genre but I do have one complaint, and that is that the guitarist feels rather left out in this one as it is kind of unnoticeable and for that reason distractive. Black Dream is a fun and catchy Samhain cover-song that as I've mentioned about almost every other song on here, the song is fast and chaotic, and a lot of the songs feel a lot the same and if not for the spaces in between the songs you probably wouldn't even notice the songs end. The whole cd just reeks of the 80's although this is a good reek I guess you could say, the cd is good for any fan of the punk genre, as a soundtrack for those who don't know what a speed limit is. BloodSlut has a lot of potential and I personally can't wait to see what they come up with next as they are very good

Summer in Prague

I was sorting out some of my photos today & came across the ones from my 21st birthday trip to Prague this summer. Everytime I look at the photo, I feel I'm under the gorgeous warm sunshine! Prague was so beautiful as well, it's full of history & I was sure you can count the number of modern buildings in centre Prague.

My photography skills are very average but hopefully you can see the beauty of the city through these photos.


One of the many spectacular churches in Prague, this one is probably my favorite, love the almost all white interiors!
I love seeing wild life in the city & couldn't resist taking this photo of swan mum with baby, just so adorable!

The Modern Pearl Necklace

I've always loved pearl necklace, influenced by the classic icon of elegance herself Audrey Hepburn & Coco Chanel. Although the classic pearl necklace is timeless, I am always excited by a more modern version, like these from Lanvin. Ribbons & pearls? It's like someone has read my mind!




and of course, I can't write a post on pearls without mentioning some Chanel necklaces, I adore their take on the pearl necklace every season & always find myself saying "wow, i want this, and this and this..."

Skin Series Bud Vase

Not only are these little vases cute but they are individually handmade so no two are the same. They look so delicate & would look great on my window sill with some pink roses to brighten up the room in the grim grey days... Available from Manos online.
