A genre in its prime these days, the horror film is a work of beauty. Pumped with the deadly killers of retro ‘B’ drive in films and stacked with the antics of sexy vixens and victims, the scream queens of the thriving horror industry are upon us. One of these, Stephanie Beaton, is making a mark in her films and on her fans alike. A veteran of 20+ films and numerous television, magazine and other appearances, Stephanies resume just keeps growing. We managed to get a few moments in email with her and got a great chat….

NR – Did you plan on being an actress, or scream queen?

SB – Actually, I never wanted to be an actress. I always wanted to be a veternarian while growing up. Acting sorta came to me in High School after moving to California. Being a “Scream Queen” was never planned either. It just happened that way by being casted in so many horror flicks.

NR – Does it bother you to be known as a scream queen?

SB – No, not at all. In fact, I love it!! Since I am a HUGE fan of horror, it’s kinda cool.

NR – If so have you always been interested in horror?

SB – Oh YES!!!! I have loved horror all my life. When I was a kid, I remember buying all the Fangoria Magazines and looking over and over the pictures of guts and stuff! I watched horror films when I was a kid again and again.

NR – How did you get invovled in movies or horror movies?

SB – Well, when my career first began, I did runway modeling, calander modeling. That was back in 1993, 1994. In 1995, I did my VERY first film, Unnaturally Born Killer. Prior to that was some Music Videos and modeling jobs. But UBK was my first film. I auditioned and got the part. Part of the audition was screaming.

NR – Do you find a difference ( the work atmosphere )between doing horror type films/tv to dramas or other work?

SB – You know, there really is no difference between doing horror verses other types of films such a comedies or dramas. It’s basically all the same for the exception of the budget and whether its a independant or a A list film. I’ve done both “A” and “B” films. If it’s low budget, then it’s real tough. But there is a lot more creativity going on.

NR – What was your first experience with horror as a child?

SB – Are you asking me when I saw or remember my first film? If so, I was 4 and watched “Phantasm”. If you are asking me my OWN horror…well I can tell you, when I was a kid, my Mom used to tell me of the story of the Bagman and how he gets little kids who are bad. He drives a dark van with tinted windows and he has two black dogs in the back. When you are bad, he comes and puts you in a burlap bag and takes you away, chops you up and feeds you to the dogs. Well, one day, a knock came to the door and my Brother told me it was the Bagman. He told me to look out the window and guess what was there? The dark van! I paniced!!!! He drug me to the kitchen where this man was at the back door and he held me down as I screamed and screamed!!!!! My Mom was there too. But that was my first REAL experience with horror.

NR – Are you into horror films/books/etc in your real life, or is it just a job?

SB – Yes I am into horror. I have a quite extensive library of films, books and all types of dark and mysterious things!

NR – What is your favorite work that youve done? What type of work do you find most satisfying?

SB – Wow…this has to be a tough one here. I really enjoyed playinmg Serena in, “The Evilmaker”. I liked working on that film a lot. But unfortunatly, they casted someone else to play me in “Evilmaker 2″. I like doinf roles which are meaty. I like roles with more pof a character base then anything else. I also liked working on “Bikini Planet” too. That film was a riot to work on!!! It was a comedy.

NR – What type of work did you do before films?

SB – Let’s see, where do I begin! I worked as a 911 Dispatcher for the Police Department, I worked in a Veternarian’s office, Nursing Home, Grocery Store, And I did telemarketing…I sold toner!!!! Yes, toner, for photocopiers! I also was a bookkeeper.

NR – How do you feel about the current state of hollywood, do you find most of the big budget films good/bad. Is/was it a hard system to break into?

SB – Well my opinion of Hollywood isn’t too great! All your fakes, pretenders and losers all seem to flock to this industry and prey or feed on people and they literally will take your soul if you let them. But as far as big budgets are concerned….I prefer the indi scene more so. Don’t get me wrong, I love working on Blockbuster films, BUT working on indi’s are the best!!! The hardest working people around do these types of films. And yes, it IS hard to break into the business. There is no such thing of an over night success.

NR – You have a fan club, how is that going? How large is it? Do you take any active parts in the club?

SB – My club is going well. You know, if I had a members site for the fan club, I could tell you how many people are in it but because I don’t, I can’t tell you. I answer all my email personally. I am 100% involved with my site and my fans.

NR – Who is your favorite actor/actress?

SB – I like Demi Moore, Morgan Friedman, Al Pacino, Robert De Niro.

NR – You have a great internet site, are you good with computers or the internet? Do you spend a lot of time online? How many emails do you get everyday?

SB – Thank you first off. I know nothing of HTML. So I design my site and my webmaster does it all for me. I am completely illiterate when it comes to computers. But I do anser all emails and such. I get about 500 to 1,000 per week from fans alone.

NR -What is your favorite type of music, or band?

SB – You would have to ask me this. I am one of those people who are clueless to the band’s names but just know the song by heart. So I can sing it to you, but can’t tell you who it is. I do like all types of music though…..Blues, rock, Old Rock, Alternative, Techno, oldies, Jazz, etc.

NR – How do you feel about nudity in a film, do you think it is overdone?

SB – Yes I do. I mean, you can tell the cheap low budget films from the big budgeted films JUST by the nudity. The low budget guys seem to think that they have to exploit the woman in their films to sell the films and thats sad. If they wrote a better script they could maybe do better but instead they sell only to a certain market. I don’t think that there is anything wrong with nudity, BUT, when it comes to the late night Cinemax films or low budget films where its raw….YES there is a problem! The stuff aired late night on Cinemax is VERY close to porno. If you are going to do porn, then do it, make money at it but please don’t be crossing that fine line with stupid scripts, ridiculous actors and constant sex scene after sex scene that makes no sense at all!

NR – Do you think it affects film quality?

SB – Yes, having too MUCH sex in films does affect film quality! If it’s done when needed, then its fine but when doing it too much is pure trash and then your film is nothing more then merely trash!

NR – Have you ever done any ‘playboy’ style magazines, or been approached to do any?

SB – No, I haven’t done Playboy. I wouldn’t have a problem with Playboy either, I would LOVE too! In fact, Penthouse WAS cool too at one time, BUT now, Penthouse has gone bad. There photos now are pretty risque.

NR – How about pornography, do you get approached for that?

SB – No, I have never been aproached for porn. I know plenty of porn people but never been asked to do it. Probbaly because I make it VERY clear that I would NEVER do that. So therefore, they don’t ask me.

NR – What is your stance on pornography? Do you feel it should be restricted?

SB – It has it’s place. I think Pornography on the internet is bad. Mainly because kids get their dads credit cards and get in there and watch. But who knows what will happen with this new DA guy, John Ashcroft. He has already closed down many porn shops all across the country and he will start working on the internet too. Which is good because the internet isn’t regulated. Well to a degree it is. You can’t away with murder on it, but it would be a good thing if this Ashcroft guy could start cleaning things up a bit. He is against sex and violnce in films too. So maybe the end of all these late night almost porno films on Cinemax! That would be wonderful if he got rid pof those.

NR -What are you currently working on? What is in the future?

SB -I just rapped up shooting two films actually. One here in Los Angeles titled, “Quarantine”. I play Jenny and I get ripped apart by zombies. That was fun to make. Then I flew to Minnesota to shoot, “Tortured Soul 3, The Willing Flesh”. I just returned from there like 3 days ago. That shoot was interesting. As for whats in the furture…right now, we shall see. I have a few productions lined up.

NR – What city are you living in now? What is a good town for horror films?

SB – I live in Hollywood, California, but I am moving VERY soon. As for where is good for Horror, there seems to be more horror films shot back east then out here in California.

NR – Is it good money making horror films? Is it a living or just a side thing? Have you done work for free?

SB – It’s good money when things are Union. When films are non-union, thats when you can get screwed! So you have to becareful. I have worked for free, back when I first started. I think I worked twice for free, but NO MORE!!!!! No my fees are pretty high. I’ve done well over 30 films so your prices rise as your popularity rises and fame and experience.

Bowling, the sport of the middle class. Played in nostalgic 50′s era mod lanes, or in blacklit, neon modern mega-complexes bowling is now the past time of friends and families all across america. It has been a game enjoyed by many, since its inception in 5200bc by the Egyptians to its use as a religious worship by Germanic monks in 200ad, bowling has had quite a past.

The actual first recorded enclosed ‘bowling center’ was built in London around 1455, but bowling ‘greens’ were being built on the lawns of nobility in Europe since the 1300′s. This original enclosed

center was used by common-folk as a gathering place, to drink and enjoy the game of ‘nine-pins’ ( it was originally called ‘kegels’ ). These enclosed centers spread to other majoy towns in England throughout the next 10 years. The big problem was that the nobility never seem to like commoners to ‘gather’ together in one spot too long, and in 1465 Edward the IV made an edict forbidding ‘hustling of stones’ ( the slang term at the time ) and any other bowling like sport. This took its toll on the sport in England for the next 20 years or so. But the sport again started taking off and gained popularity once again…of course this couldnt last, in 1555 all bowling centers in England were closed, considered ‘places of unlawful assembly’.

In 1611 Captain James Smith is returning to the colony at JamesTown in Virginia to find the colonists, starving and out of food, but happily spending their time bowling. This he finds offensive as the colonists should be working, and the sport is declared illegal and punishable by three weeks in the stocks. The sport although suffering from illegality in many places flourishes in others. The dutch are bowling away in their American colonies around 1625.

The sport again takes its hold on England and becomes widely popular, with new bowling centers opening once again. It becomes a gamblers favorite and many people begin losing their days pay to shady rules, and bowling hustlers. One of the biggest gamblers of the time ( a compulsive gambler ) is King Charles of England. He takes the game, standardizes the rules ( ball sizes, pin sizes, etc ) to make it more competitive and to even the odds out. At this point everyone is still playing the favorite ‘nine pins’.

The sport continues to grow world wide, but especially takes a hold of the United States. The main problem is that by 1840 almost every place to bowl is located next to a tavern ( i gues taverns like to build small lanes to attract customers ) in its ‘alley’…This seems to be the origin of the name ‘bowling alley’. Well drinking, and the good people of the USA just dont mix, in 1870 ‘nine pin’ bowling is banned due to its association with crime and gambling, fortunately for the rest of us there worded the law quite maticulously and a nice fellow brings about ‘ten-pin bowling’. The sport continues to flourish.

In 1895 the American Bowling Congress is formed, and the sport moves on through history. In 1916 the Womens International Congress forms, and everything stays quiet until about 1950 when the first automatic pin setting machine is invented. This causes bowling to gain mass appeal. During this same time, Capezio introduces a line of bowling shoes with advertisements showing upper class ladies bowling.

In 1961 the number of bowling alleys in the US jumps from around 6500 to 10000, at this same time the average neck size per pin is increased make the average pin weigh 7/10 more ounces than previously. By 1963 Americans are spending around 44 million dollars a year on bowling balls and the equipment. The sport continues to grow in popularity to its current day estimates ( by the A.B.C ) to around 50 million bowlers in the USA alone.

The dull hum of neon lights, the stench of sweat and stale cigarette smoke. All these things invaded my senses as I approached the counter at a local adult video store. The clerk, a pregnant Spanish girl with a listless look in her eyes, asked what I needed as I neared the counter. “I’m looking for a snuff movie.” She glanced up at me briefly, then pointed to a well-lit corner of the store. “Everything you want is right over there,” she stated. I was shocked, I thought it would be much more difficult than this. The corner walls were lined with movie boxes, most with leather-clad sex mistresses on the cover. Others showed tightly bound women or men, asses red and blue from severe lashings, each ball-gagged and staring wide eyed at the camera. As I looked over the boxes, each seemed to be what I was looking for, but upon closer examination I noticed a warning in small letters on each, stating “death and rape depictions are for entertainment purposes only, no actors/actresses were harmed in the making of this film.” These were not what I was looking for. These were not the scourge of the Christian right, nor the Holy Grail of porn. These were not real snuff films.

But what is a snuff film, what defines it? A snuff film is a movie (film or video) that depicts the rape, torture and eventual murder of the actor/actress (victim) while engaged in a sexual act. The victim being filmed is not aware of his/her impending death and usually they are young prostitutes, kidnap victims, or girls from foreign countries. The films are made for sexual gratification by the most extreme sadists and are for sale to only the most bizarre collectors. They are said to mainly originate in South America but this might be related to a 1970 film called The Slaughter that was filmed in Argentina. Wel, at least that is what the rumors state. You see, the more you investigate snuff the more it seems nobody has every really seen a snuff flim.

The hype about snuff films really began to circulate in the early 1970s. It seems it started with a letter to the FBI from Raymond Gauer, then-director of The Citizens For Decency Through Law. “They’re producing snuff films now,” he wrote, and went on in detail describing the making and use of the films. The FBI (being a law enforcement agency) was obviously interested in finding some of these films. This began an almost 25 year investigation, that is now revealed through the freedom of information act. It shows that although the FBI has constantly heard rumors of snuff films, they have never actually seen one or been able to purchase one. The one thing about snuff, is someone always knows somebody else who has seen it. Hmmm … quite interesting.

The hype was amazing, the search was excruciating. Al Goldstein, owner of Screw Magazine, once put up a reward of $100,000 to get his hands on one of these films. No luck. In 1976 the FBI thought they were hot on the trail when an underground cinema in Indianapolis announced it had a copy of a film called Snuff. Among the 12 people attending the screening were two agents and a criminal pathologist. The film depicted a gory and amateur-type sex and death sequence, which the pathologist stated was a theatrical staging. Come to find out, to the trained eye cow intestines do not match human intestines. Later, it was also determined that the producer had hoped the FBI would investigate the film to bring him more publicity. Another dead end.

(On a side note, the film title Snuff is actually the early ’70s movie titled Slaughter. This was filmed in Argentina, and is directly related to the persistent rumor that snuff comes from South America.)

It seems snuff is something many want (for various reasons), but no one can find. A San Francisco Chronicle reporter, Rider McDowell, spent over six months trying to track a film down. He talked with pornographers, collectors, police, murderers and others, with no luck. While he did find movies claiming to be snuff, these were all deemed theatrical representations. This search was also attempted by the LAPD, after hearing rumors of satanic cults making snuff films on the beaches in California. This investigation actually went on for a while, but It turns out the eye-witness was making everything up. Geesh.

One of the more famous or infamous snuff legends involved Son Of Sam killer David Berkowitz. It is rumored that Berkowitz filmed the murders of his victims to circulate among the Church Of Satan members. Maury Terry, author of a book on Son Of Sam, states that on the night of Stacy Moskowitz’s killing, a VW van was parked across the street from her death site. This van was supposedly used to film the murder. Unconfirmed reports state this footage was obtained by Roy Radin, a financier and well-known porn collector. It is said that about 10 copies of this film exist, although none have ever been found or seen. The trail continues.

An expert on pornography and obscene material once stated that he had seen a snuff film, and that Scotland Yard had numerous copies of these types of films. But when contacting Scotland Yard, Detective Mick Hames states, “although they have never found any in England, they surely exist in America.” Once again, this is not what the FBI says. What is interesting about snuff films is that it is not actually illegal to view or own one. If one were to turn up the police would have to use local obscenity laws to even confiscate the tape (and only as long as the owners/viewers were determined to not be involved in the murder). The FBI even questions its own ability to prosecute if such a tape were to be found. “Since there hasn’t ever been one found, there have never been any laws enacted against snuff films,” states a California agent.

Members of Screw Magazine state that the snuff film is an urban legend perpetuated by the Christian right to give pornography a bad name. Christians claim that snuff films exist and are the work of the devil and evil pornographers. Police in the United States say they exist in England. Scotland Yard states they don’t have any but they surely exist in the states. One thing is sure, fake ones exist and do a thriving business at adult video stores and online. But what about the real thing? Well, in the past four years, more information has surfaced.

In 1999 we finally get a break in the case. Two men in Germany were arrested for making a snuff film. It seems they kidnapped a 21-year-old girl, raped and tortured her. The only problem was she died before production could finish. They then attempted another kidnapping but this woman managed to escape and alert authorities. So it seems the myth of snuff is not a myth anymore. Also, in Italy, a child pornography ring that allegedly sold films of children being raped and tortured to death for prices ranging from $60-$6,000 dollars, depending on how brutal the film was, was broken up. Hard evidence at last? Or just a couple of random acts?

It only seems logical, in a world where murder can be bought on the streets for a few hundred dollars, teen sex tours can be bought from countries like Thailand and South America, and video equipment is easy to operate and obtain, that these movies exist. And it seems that with the proliferation of image transferring media on computers, this style of film will become more and more real, leaving the back alley world of dark pornography and invading Web sites and mainstream media. That is, if they really exist…

You get a new job, you move to a new town up in the mountains of New Mexico; everything is going great except for the headaches. You chalk it up to the change in elevation, perhaps a bit of stress from the move. But after two weeks the pains still don’t go away. Then one day, as if a switch is clicked, it begins … a low and distant hum. At first you can shake it away, push it out of your mind. But then it seems to gain in strength; not that it’s getting louder, but it’s just so constant. The sound emanates from the center of your head and pushes out, not throbbing, not changing, it’s just there. Within a year of hearing the ceaseless, penetrating noise you just cant take it anymore, and you are forced into an insane asylum.

This is just one of many near-identical stories that tell of this phenomenon, and amazingly enough, they’re not isolated incidents. In the town of Taos, New Mexico, (about 30 minutes from Santa Fe) roughly 2% of the citizens hear this constant noise. While all of them are not driven mad by it, they are positive the noise exists; so positive, in fact, that they collectively gathered enough support to persuade the Congress to investigate the phenomenon. Investigators have dubbed it the “Taos Hum.”

The Taos Hum is said to be a very low frequency noise that sounds like a buzzing or distant rumbling. Some people say it emanates from their head, others say they hear it coming from the ground. Investigators sent in by Congress determined through comparison (not actual measurement of the sound) the noise was indeed a very low frequency, somewhere between 30 and 80hz; The human ear picks up sounds in the range of 20hz to 20khz.

The investigators determined, by broad study of the Taos population, that around 2% of the residents could hear the sound. Because of this rather large percentage, they decided the hum must be from an external source rather than from something like low frequency tinnitus (a condition in which one experiences a constant hum or whine in the ears, suffered by, among others, William Shatner). Extensive tests were done in and around the Taos area, but no background sounds could be measured. Some have speculated that nearby power plants are creating the sound, but this too was ruled out. The investigators, after trying every external approach, even did extensive testing on the inner ears of the people who could hear the sound. This too produced no measurable results. Investigators finally concluded their work, admitting that while the noise in all probability does exist, they have no way of measuring it.

So what is the Taos Hum? What or who can be causing it? One prominent theory holds that some type of government experiment in low frequency earthquake control is generating the sound. Others speculate on some type of submarine communication device, using what is called “ultra-long frequency” waves. But if either theory were indeed the case, why would this strange sound only exist in Taos? After digging a little deeper, it seems these occurrences aren’t localized phenomenon after all.

As it turns out, people have reported the sounds from various parts of the country. A source, who will only be known as “Jude,” says this: “The Taos Hum does not emanate from Taos. It is heard all over the US and other parts of the world. I may leave Taos and not hear it in Kansas, for instance, but then hear it again as I get close to Michigan.” Similar reports have been made by people all over the country. The show Unsolved Mysteries aired a special on the Taos Hum and asked viewers to call if they knew anything about it. From the calls, surveys determined that of 383 call-in responses to the program, about 174 people claimed they could actually hear the noise. The locations of those who could hear the hum were as far-flung as Seattle, central Arizona, Southern California, North Central New Mexico and Colorado, Michigan, Ohio and Indiana. What do these locations have in common? Almost all of them claim some type of military installation nearby.

Another interesting aspect of the hum is the insistence by many that it intensifies during periods of heavy military activity. During the Gulf war, for example, many people actually left Taos and other locations where the hum was active because it had become so intense. The intensity makes sense if the hum does indeed relate to ELF or ULF submarine communications.

ELF and the military go hand in hand. The military first conducted ELF and wave propagation experiments around 1969 using antennas that were each about 14 miles long. These experiments went on until about 1976, when studies determined the system would be too vulnerable to nuclear attack. But despite the cancellation of the tests, the Navy continued to develop the ELF communications system. They built new antennas, this time 28 miles long, located at a Clam Lake facility. This renewed development went on until the Carter administration cancelled the project in 1978. It was revived again in the Reagan years in 1981, and this latest system employed 56-mile-long antennas along the Upper Peninsula of Michigan (notice the site correlations), in addition to 28-mile-long antennas in Wisconsin.

But what does all this mean?

The ELF communications system operates with each antenna powered by a 660 kilowatt transmitter. This transmitter broadcasts on the ELF system using U.S. frequency bands 30 to 50 hertz and 70 to 80 hertz. Both of these ranges have been associated with the Taos Hum.

So is the Taos Hum related to the military use of ELF or ULF communications? We can’t be certain. The evidence would seem to point in that direction, but the government has again closed off studies on the subject. Does the Taos Hum even exist? It hasn’t been recorded, it hasn’t been heard by any type of expert and it has been mimicked. But it’s been heard by hundreds of people. They have gone crazy from it, or suffered nosebleeds and raging headaches. Those unlucky enough to be plagued by the sound have suffered greatly for years, and if the government is indeed behind the hum, they owe a whole lot of people one hell of an explanation and apology.

LC: I got to work with a wonderful cast: Logan Michaels, Rob Hinkle and Mike Williams. The crew was very large but still felt like a family. I got to do a British accent as Commander Jane Wey. It was also my first taste of dramatic acting. I just cannot wait for it to be done, they are looking at a year or more in post production for the hundreds of CGI shots that will have to be done by Purdue University’s Digital Fury. It is best described as a Space Balls-sort of sci-fi action flick. This is also one of my first few non-nude films that all ages can watch. Not many of my movies can I show to younger audiences. TS: Do you enjoy making movies, is it just a job or a passion? LC: I love doing movies! I used to live for conventions when I was a fan, they are sooo much fun. But now that I am a Professional, conventions generally mean work. Now I do movies for fun! TS: What are your feelings on doing nude scenes? LC: I have done nude scenes before on several projects. I am all right with nude scenes, if they have a point. I do not, however, do “love” scenes. I will not do soft core. TS: Have you posed nude for magazine shoots? LC: I have three magazine layouts coming out this year: Gent, Leg Show and Busty. Gent will be out in a few weeks; it is the October Issue. TS: Among conventions, magazines, films, etc., which pays the most, which is the most fun to do?LC: Depends on the project or convention. (Money wise) mostly cons, then magazines.

TS: What projects do you have going on currently, any books, bands, films, etc.? LC: I have coming up two more movies that I am doing. TS: Do you live a dark lifestyle like the vampire vixens you portray? Are you into the Goth scene? LC: No, I live the nerd lifestyle. I read books, surf the net and workout when ever I’m home for longer than a day or two. No, I am not in the Goth scene at all. TS: You seem to be really available on the Internet to your fans, have you had any bad experiences? LC: I would not say bad. I get some pictures of people that I would rather not see pictures of, and people who do not understand that I do not have the time or the desire to carry on “email relationships.” I get people asking me for free pictures a lot, and I do not have the time to fill the amount of requests, so I do not do this. TS: Do you get recognized a lot on the streets? Is this ever a problem? LC: No not really. I change my hair color so often that I look completely different from most of my projects. TS: Your Web page is very cool. Are you comfortable with a computer? LC: I can surf all night. I do not build though. TS: Do you design your own pages? LC: No, I have a Webmaster who makes my pages, but he does everything to my taste and specifications. I just tell him what I want and he does the rest. TS: What do you like to do online? LC: Surf … Ebay! … Cosplay sites. TS: What is your TV show like? How did that opportunity come about? Is it working out? LC: I only did that for 13 episodes. It was interesting, but I got way to much prison fan mail, as the station showing it was one of the only ones that they (prisoners) were allowed to watch. TS: It’s obvious you’re really busy. What is a typical day like for you? LC: My life is so rapidly changing I never have the same day twice, more or less. If I am on the road I work late nights, then spend most of the rest of the night reading, wake up late and go back to work. If I am at home, I check my e-mail a lot, workout late nights two or three times a week, kickbox on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and spend time with my cat, Lakota. TS: What should we be watching for from Leslie Culton? LC: Starship 2, The House that Screamed 2, Vamps 2, The Dwellers, Gent, Busty and Leg Show. TS: Can you give us a few words for your fans? LC: Hi! My name is Leslie and I am a Nerd. I know I do not look like one, but trust me, I am. …

I have read that you got into show biz, and the public eye, through
being a dominatrix. Is this true?

Yes, it allows you some forms of media exposure with
ads you run, interviews, photos and stories in
magazines, etc. All that and the right image can get
you some attention.

What was it like?

It was fun but at times stressful to do on a full-time
basis. It is a business that can be good one month and
slow the next so that is where the stress comes in. It
is not consistent.

Do you still do this work?

On a very exclusive basis. Mostly when I travel.

What made you want to try to become a dominatrix?

I think the implements and fetish attire appealed to
me at a very young age and my interests grew. I
realized it was a way I could make a living, be my own
boss and still do the other entertainment type of work
I desired to do.

Are you involved in any other type of “sex” work?
(Porn/magazine shoots?)

No, I have had offers to do porn, and that is just not
a direction I desire to go. I’ve also had men’s
magazine offers but still haven’t given in to that.
The offer would have to be pretty specific: I would have
to have the cover shot, get paid a decent fee and have
creative control of the photos that were to be
published.

You have a growing fan base in the B-movie genre.
How many films have you done?

I think there are about eight now, but some are still
unreleased.

What is your favorite?

So far I think I will like Malefic the best, I liked
the role. It has not been released yet so I can’t be
sure. I enjoyed playing the character Lace. What she was
doing was truly bad, but deep down she had good
intentions.

Do you enjoy making movies? Is it just a job or a
passion?

I would have to say it is a passion. I would love to
do even more but there seems to be a lot of problems in the
B-movie industry with movies that never get made. I
get scripts and offers but the people end up having
budget problems and it never gets filmed. Then
sometimes it gets filmed and the movie is so delayed
in coming out because they have even more budget
problems that occur after filming, like editing,
distribution, etc.

I heard you did not want to do nudity in Vampire
Call Girls. Do you not approve of nudity in films?

I don’t approve of selling the movie just because of
the nudity. I think people should have a story line; a
good script is an excellent way to bring that about.
But in the B-industry they won’t even distribute a
movie unless there are nude scenes within the first 10
minutes. I think that the lines are getting crossed
between the softcore porn and B industries, and that is
truly a shame because there used to be some really
good B-horror films.

Have you done any nude scenes yet?

No, I have danced around that successfully so far. I
think the only reason I have gotten this far in the
B-industry and escaped doing the nude scenes is
because I have a very dominate image. It is easy for me
to play a lead vampiress or witch or killer who
doesn’t require nudity. I have been in scenes with
others who are nude, I don’t have objections to that.

I see you do lots of conventions, magazines, films, etc.
Which is the most fun to do?

They all have their appeal. Seeing myself in magazines
for some reason never gets old. And I enjoy doing
photo shoots for them as well as interviews. Films
can be great fun, especially if you are working with
some actors and actresses that you have become friends
with. But conventions tend to be the most fun of all;
you get to travel, meet fans, make new contacts and see
friends in the business.

What projects do you have going on; any books,
bands, films, etc.?

I’m currently writing several screenplays and am
supposed to begin shooting in late August for the first
of the three. I am also cast as “Lilith” in a movie
titled Portrait of Death, that will also film in
August. I have recorded my CD, but there are delays in
it being released. I plan on finishing a book this
winter (it is domination-related).

You have a dark, vampiress-look and people I have
talked to consider you goth. Do you consider yourself
goth, do you listen to that type of music, or live
that lifestyle?

I tend to be called goth quite a bit but I actually
consider myself more glam, so I term my look as darkly
glamourous. I love wearing colors, many strict goths
only wear black. I guess I just don’t like to put
these type of limits on myself. I do listen to some
goth music but also into industrial, techno, rock ‘n’ roll, punk and some pop. I do, however, live mostly at night.

What were you like as a teenager? Were you
attracted to the darker side of life?

Yes, I was into the darker elements of life, which
reflected in the way I dressed, the music I liked,
horror movies, etc. But I was still blonde and innocent
back then.

Do you still live in Atlanta?

Yes, Atlanta is still my home base. I do travel quite
often though, Columbus, Ohio, is a second home, I enjoy
L.A. a lot as well.

What do you do?

When in Atlanta I try to go out often and see friends
when I’m home.

Is there a cool music/art/film scene there?

There is a pretty decent music and art scene there.
But not that much as far as films.

How did your music CD turn out?

It is seriously delayed. And it is kind of out of my
hands at the moment. I have done my recording but
other aspects are holding things up but I do hope it
comes out within the next couple of months.

Is it available online anywhere?

It will be, mp3 is supposed to have it, as well as
various other sites.

I notice you have a bunch of photography online,
how did you get involved in this, is it something
you do a lot, or just a part-time hobby?

I love modeling and photography, I feel comfortable on
both sides of the camera. I enjoy working with
different photographers as far as modeling goes, it
gets me new material for my Web site, etc. And I love
taking photos for models/bands, etc. It allows me to
express a lot of creative ideas.

What is it like doing all these conventions, do
you enjoy seeing the fans?

It is usually a very enjoyable experience. Meeting
fans is a way of getting feedback that people are into
what you are doing.

What is one of the craziest things that has happened
at a convention?

I guess one of them would be when Andee Agony and
myself were set to do our marriage ceremony at a
convention in New Orleans, and had received death
threats all week before going. Needless to say we
cancelled those plans for safety’s sake, you never know.
Do you get recognized on the streets?

More often than I would have imagined. I consider most
of what I’ve done kind of underground, but if you do a
large quantity of even that level of stuff (movies,
music, magazines, modeling and Internet stuff) it
starts to get around and more people start to remember
you.

I notice you have quite a few Web links. Are you
comfortable with a computer?

Yes, but there are still things that stump me and make
me want to scream.

Do you design your own pages?

Yes, I think it would be too much trouble to have
someone else maintain it for me. There is always
something I want to add or change.

What do you like to do online?

I like answering my e-mail and sometimes visiting
various sites I stumble across.

You seem very busy. What is a day for you like?

I like to be busy. If I have slow time then I work
on writing and photo shoots, but I do that anyway so I
guess that qualifies as busy too.

What do you do to relax?

If not work itself, then I go out and do something fun
with friends. Or if I really want to relax I settle
down to watch some movies and cuddle with my pet bunny,
Serena.

What should we be watching for from Lilith Stabs?

The release of my CD (whenever that may be). And also
for the screenplays I’m currently working on to be
filmed, I’m hoping to start my own line of videos.

Can you give us a statement of sentence for your
fans?

Remember, when someone tells you your goals are
impossible, that should only make you strive harder to
achieve those goals. In other words never give up.

-[ Web cams these days are covering the internet, almost every site you visit is showing you someone's office, kitchen, or bedroom. Web cam articles have been in local papers, mentioned on the radio and even been on mainstream news shows like 'inside edition'. While most of these were stories were fairly informative, I wanted to get at the real girls behind the cams...To get some answers as to what they were really like, not some played up Hollywood shocker! ]- The saga continues, another addition to our Internet girl interviews. We have had some good feedback on what these girls are saying and doing. This month we visit Nikki Sinnette, a girl who runs an excellent free site containing many great images of herself. Nikkis site is for those 18 and older and contains some great artistic photos, not your typical site. You can also read her bio and check in with her journal. Lets hear what Nikki has to say….

Name/Webname: My name is Nikki Sinnette.Age: I’m twenty-five years old.

Zodiac Sign: I’m a Scorpio, so look out…

Website(s) Name: The World of Nikki Sinnette

Website(s) URL: www.geocities.com/nikkisinnette

How long have you been involved in the Internet: Only about four months.

How long have you been involved in the erotica/modeling/pinup scene: I’ve been modeling for years now.

Did you do modeling before coming online: Yes, and it was the many great erotic photos that I had laying about that inspired me to make my own site.

Are your images available on other sites or just yours: Yes, my favorite is the fetish photographer William Seibert’s site, who does most of my photos: www.geocities.com/williamseibert.

Does your site have a pay/members only section: No, I like my site to be free to all.

What other types of modeling do you do: I also do fine art modeling, for painters, sculptors, etc.

Your site seems very diverse, lots of different sections, what is your favorite one: I really enjoy writing in my journal section. It gives me a chance to voice my opinions on issues, and talk about my own personal fantasies. My fans seem to really enjoy the fact that I will often talk about a topic they have suggested. (And then I include related photos.)

Do you run and build the website or does someone else: Yes, I do it all myself.

Have you had any negative experiences from users of your site, (hatemail, etc.): No, I’ve been really lucky. Mainly, I have had positive feedback. My fans are great.

Have you been recognized in person by strangers who saw you online: Not yet.

Do you do nudes or porn, or just erotic modeling: I definitely use nudes and erotic shots, but I wouldn’t call the photos on my site porn. They’re more about desire, and the longing to see much more.

Since you’re involved in erotica, how do you feel about porn, do you think it should be regulated: I love porn! It serves a very important purpose in our society. Porn is an outlet, a way for people to maintain their sanity and enjoy themselves. I live in Cincinnati, Ohio, right now, where porn is not allowed in the city in any form. It just makes you realize how backward and medieval our society can be.

What type of music do you like? Any favorite bands? What about your favorite movies: Oh wow … that’s a hard question. So as not to develop a frighteningly long list: My favorite bands are Curve, Esthero, Massive Attack, Hooverphonic, Portishead, Suede, The Dandy Warhols, Polly Jean Harvey, and David Bowie. Movies, I would have to say anything by David Lynch, Barbarella, Pandora’s Box, Belle Du Jour, and many, many others.

What’s sexy to you? Are you a leather or lace kind of person? What really turns you on: Sexiness is something you can’t quite put your finger on. It’s an aura, the way a woman walks, the simple peek of white skin you see under her skirt when she climbs the escalator steps…I like the subtlety of sex. I don’t like everything right in my face. I’d rather use my imagination …

Who takes your photo? Would you consider photo shoots with other professionals: I take some of them myself and the others are by photographers I’ve worked with over the years. I am definitely open to new people, and I’m currently looking for new photographers.

Are you straight? Bi-sexual? Lesbian: I’m fervently bisexual. I like to have it all.

Give me a few words for your fans and potential new visitors: Welcome to the World of Nikki Sinnette.

Heywood Long

The Internet is used by millions of people; from mindless AOL drones to yellow-eyed, self-networked computer freaks. And as the usage continues to grow (so fast, in fact, that modern search engines can only index 42% of the current content), the security of the basic business or personal site gets weaker and weaker. While you might wonder what security has to do with you, a growing number of people are finding out first hand how easy it is to compromise a web site.

Let’s take our friend Mike, a typical AOL user (the scourge of the information age) who spent the past two years working on his personal Web site on and off. Now this wasn’t any ordinary site (according to Mike); it featured pictures of him, his family and many lovely pictures of his brand new Ford Mustang. Wow, how could one resist visiting this pot-o-gold!! But to Mike, this site was his pride and joy. At every search engine he visited he made sure to post his link, he told all his friends, and he checked his hit counter daily. (You have to wonder how many hits were from him.) Then it happened: A gloomy Sunday morning, the sun was hidden behind dark storm clouds as Mike pointed his trusty Web browser to his site only to discover he had been 0wNeD (as the main page stated in large, bold letters)!! ( another note: 0wNeD or 0wN3D means that you suck and your site is now run by some hacker ) His years of work had been destroyed and the worst was yet to come. Scrolling down the page, Mike discovered the intruders had taken his family pictures, cut the head off his mom and sister and pasted them onto some rather pornographic JPGs. Mike was devastated.
This is actually quite a common occurrence these days, and with the availability of hacker exploit tools [http://www.ssg-inc.net/hacker_tools.htm], it’s pretty easy for just about anyone to accomplish, no matter what your knowledge of computers. This kind of act isn’t happening to just personal Web sites either. A growing number of businesses, even government sites, have been 0wNeD!! (As the hackers like to put it.) Take a look at some of these photos to see some of the work:

Above is the hacked version of www.magicpokemon.com.

Above is the hacked version of www.netdaemon.org.

Here are some sites that list other hacked Web sites.

http://www.onething.com/archive/ – This site features a great list, with many of the exploits in their archive.

http://www.guardcentral.com/support_info/hacked.shtml – This is another really good list, seems fairly up to date.

Now you’re probably thinking, “Gee whiz 001001001 ( this is what is called a handle or pen name for those who don’t know, the numbers 001001 refer to binary computer code ), if these big companies can get hacked so easy, what can I do?” Well … probably nothing. If someone wants to hack you, and they’re good enough, they’ll eventually get through. The most insecure system is one that’s connected to the Internet. But don’t fret, Chet; you can take some precautions…

. Don’t use the same password everywhere
. Don’t let your friends use your password
. Don’t give out personal info on the net
. Never, never use your spouse’s name as a password (86% of people do)
. And don’t type your password in view of other people

And the number one thing you can do if you want to be sure you won’t lose any of your hard work:

MAKE BACKUPS!!!

You don’t think these hacked companies get back online by having everything re-done? No, they went to their trusty tape or CD drive and restored the site. This is probably the most frustrating thing that can happen to a hacker: They spend all night hacking a site, changing the html files, and boom … the next morning when they tell all their friends on IRC to go look, the original site is restored good as new. Now of course, a good system administrator will have to fix the path the hacker got through on, but that is probably far beyond what the basic user needs to do.

This trend in hacking will continue to grow as long as computers and the Internet do. Think about it: In 1985, how many hackers did you hear about? Probably about as many in a year as people you knew who had a Vic20! But keep yourself together: The Information Warfare era is just beginning.

Oh Yeah, All Your Base Are Belong To Us!

The circle is formed in the flickering lights of a raging bonfire. The red- and black-robed figures gather close to the feet of their ancient owl-God Moloch. Hoods are drawn close over the hundreds of faces as the chanting grows louder and louder, then when the incessant rhythm reaches a pitched frenzy, the ritual “Cremation of Care” is performed: An effigy of a human child is tossed into the raging, fiery pit. The figures chant and sway with wild abandon as the figure burns, and with its descent into ashes comes the end of the ritual. Sounds like a great movie plot doesn’t it? Or perhaps some mystical ritual from the history books of ancient Europe. Well, you’re right about the ritual part. The “Cremation of Care” is an ancient Molochian ritual practiced in many cultures, from Ireland to Phoenicia. But this particular event didn’t take place hundreds of years ago. It happens every year at one of the worlds most secretive and elite clubs — The Bohemian Grove.
The 2,700-acre retreat is about 70 miles north of San Francisco, and two weeks out of every year, deep in the redwoods of Monte Rio, Calif., the Bohemian Club meets. It is one of the most prestigious clubs on earth. Formed in 1872 by wealthy newspapermen who wanted a taste of culture in the middle of the old west, the Bohemian club has evolved into a meeting of some of the most political and influential people in the nation. One of the more queer aspects of the club, is that although it was formed by members of the media, media people are no longer allowed admittance. The club is said to boast anywhere from 2000 to 3000 members; all male, and all of impressive social and political standing. The waiting list can be as long as 15 years. On the membership list, one would see every member of the Bush family, the President of Mexico, leaders of the Bank Of America, the Secretary Of State (current and many past) and a multitude of other very prominent names. In fact, every republican president has been a member, and a few democratics as well. “Weaving Spiders Come Not Here,” the club’s motto, is obviously not in mind when prominent members listen to “lakeside chats” on world power economics, given by the head of the world bank. After which the secretary of the Navy might gab about military budget issues and the stock exchange. While portrayed as harmless talks, these powwows allow elite clubbers to walk away with inside information on high-level issues and in-depth knowledge of future plans for world politics. The ultimate in conspiracy and elitism.
During the day, members can lounge in various camps around the club, each bearing its own name, like “The Hillbillies” or “Devil Heads.” Some of these camps are the utmost in luxury, sporting pianos and posh furniture, others are mere tents around a fire. But all members get the utmost in service. A great number of servants is needed to host the large gathering; with servants being 99% white males (although the California Supreme Court has recently ordered the club to accept female food service workers). Meals consist of anything each member would like, from lobster to hot dogs. Champagne and other alcohol flows freely as members participate in shooting contests, hiking, fishing and swimming. But that is not the only activity the spoiled members of this club enjoy.
On July 15, 2000, reporter Alex Jones [http://www.infowars.com/bg1.html] infiltrated the woods near Bohemian Grove armed with his digital video camera, and what he filmed was truly amazing. As midnight approached, Jones filmed the hundreds of Grove members form a circle around a large, 40-foot-tall, owl-shaped idol in the center of a clearing. Priest-like figures wearing red and black robes circled the statue, chanting and swaying in the firelight. During this display, across the water paddled a black-garbed boatman, his face painted in the image of a skull. The boatman delivered what Jones called “an effigy of a human form,” which was tossed onto the flames as members screamed and thrashed about the fire.While the image of our country’s leaders performing mock sacrificial rituals deep in an exclusive club might seem odd, other allegations are even stranger. In Cathy O’Brien and Mark Phillips’ book, The Trance-Formation Of America, sources state that brainwashing, kidnapping, sodomy and ritual murder is practiced on the wooded lot of the club. The local paper, Santa Rosa Sun, reported on the strange occurrences at the Grove. The paper also wrote of the Cult Of Canaan and the human sacrificial rituals performed for the great owl god Moloch. In the late 1980s local and state police started investigating disappearances and murders in remote areas of the clubs grounds, but none of these investigations ever went anywhere.
The gathering of elite, high-level executives and top political figures alone can raise some suspicion of conspiracy. But the strange hooded rituals and chanting in the woods is something almost unimaginable by most, especially when the chanting and sacrifice is done by the likes of George Bush and Dick Cheney. The outrage over the actions of the Bohemian Club has spawned a group called the Bohemian Grove Action Network [http://www.sonomacountyfreepress.org/bohos/bohoindx.html]. The images gathered by the group definitely portray some bizarre events. But whether they portray a friendly camping trip for the rich and powerful, or a dark conspiracy fueled by the power of, and adoration for, an ancient, dark God, that is for you to decide.

In Paradise Lost, John Milton described Moloch as follows:

“First Moloch, horrid king, besmirched with blood
Of human sacrifice, and parents’ tears,
Though, for the noise of drums and timbrels loud,
Their children’s cries unheard, that passed through fire
To his grim idol.”

Her site is excellent, the design is great and the layout is awesome, but lets not forget the best part….Raven herself… She came to visit us here at toosquare, we talked for a bit and got the juice on who she is and what she is doing…..Check it out and tell me what you think…

Name/Webname – Raven

Age – 31

Zodiac Sign – Virgo

Website(s) Name – Camgirl Raven

Website(s) URL – www.sexraven.com

How long have you been involved in the internet?

I was introduced to the internet in 1996, when I was still living in Australia. Some friends and I
were attempting to get a small press horror magazine off the ground, and the internet was our connection to a world of research, artists and writers.

How long have you been involved in the erotica/modeling/pinup scene?

I used to run my own web and graphic design business and in April 2000 landed a project as graphic designer for an up and coming camsite. When it came time to test run the live video chat rooms, the guys I was working for thought it would be fun to involve me and sent me webcam as a gift. Big mistake After getting to know the girls that were going to be actively exhibiting on the site, I realised that the majority of them are simple every day people like you and me, some with families. One girl that I particularly liked was deaf! I was intrigued with the work they were doing and the money they were earning, and became curious as to whether I could do this, too. One evening I switched on my cam and recorded and AVI movie of myself pretending to be a camgirl. I sent stills to the guys I was working with to get their opinion. To cut a long story short, I officially signed up as an exhibitor in October 2000 and began a whole new career.

Did you do modeling before coming online?

Prior to me becoming a camgirl I did some modelling for photoshoots, but not erotica!

How long has your website been online, was it hard getting it started, what inspired your website?

My site debuted in October 2000 as a free site. It was mainly used to advertise myself and the live camshows that I was doing. It was difficult at first, because although I was able to do all the design and coding myself, I had next to no material to work with. Luckily, the cam network I worked for took stills from live shows and I was able to use those. Right from the start, I knew I wanted to do something different. I am an artist, and therefore I wanted to somehow incorporate my creativity and emotions into my shows. My viewers early on enjoyed my different costumes, backdrops, props and toys. They loved the fact that I would take time to chat with them too, not just reel them in for shows and then move on to the next one. I like to be open and intimate with people, and this comes across in my shows. As I drew a larger audience, my archives of show stills and photographs began to grow larger and more explicit and in February of this year I decided to add a members only section to the site. With the help of the guys at Cam Depot I was able to offer a members only chatroom with audio on my own site. The members only area has evolved into an intimate community. I add a new series of photographs every week, and also feature one fellow camgirl at a time in the guest gallery. From time to time I write erotic stories and post those in my fantasy journal. I have been approached by people who want to do reviews of my site, and it’s always so satisfying to read what they have to say, because I always manage to get rave reviews! Knowing that my site is being enjoyed and appreciated so much is a great feeling.

Are your images available on other sites or just yours?

From time to time I will exchange photographs with another girl who has her own site. But I am choosy about who I exchange photos with. My standards of myself and my work are very high and I expect the same from sites that I affiliate myself
with. Earlier in the year a small group of us formed the Quality Erotica coalition to promote sexuality that goes beyond porn… erotica that is sensual, expressive and real, often with a very artistic flair. Within the coalition we do exchange photographs regularly to display on our sites.

What other types of modeling do you do?

I don’t do a lot, to be honest. Several months ago I did a shoot for sweetbabyoctane.com – they have a site right now that promotes their piercing and tattooing, but they also make a very extensive range of fetish and BDSM play gear. I modelled gags, gasmasks and other fun stuff. The guy that runs the place, D, is very creative himself. For some time I have been wanting to move towards
expressing the darker side of my sexuality. With D’s photographic ability and artistic eye I will be able to scratch that itch.

Are you involved in films, if so which, what are they about, how many have
you done?

Heh… it’s funny should bring this up. I’m on the verge of producing my own videos, because I have been approached by numerous people in the past for custom stuff. A few weeks ago I purchased a whole camera outfit, and as soon as I get the video capture card I want, I’m ready to start. I am not into mainstream porn, so I want to create something that will stimulate people’s thoughts and emotions as well as get their juices flowing.

Do you run and build the website or does someone else?

Everything is created and coded 100% by me. I have total control, because I don’t trust anyone else to present me in the light that I want to be presented in. Mind you, these days things are much busier and sometimes I do wish I had someone to delegate some of th simpler tasks to!

Have you had any negative experiences from users of your site, ( hatemail, etc )?

Surprisingly little, actually. The only ‘negative’ comments I get are people who want to get across to me that God does not approve of this kind of thing. I haven’t had any really good ones, which is a pity, because I’d love to share them with my members What I DO get on a regular basis is explicit emails telling me in detail what the writer would like to do to
me… these usually include cam stills of erect penises.

Have you ever been recognized by a stranger who saw you online?

No. At least, not that I know of. How many guys would have the balls to approach me and say ‘hey, you’re Raven, aren’t you’? Not many, I would say

How do your friends and family feel about you posing online?

Nobody outside of my direct household knows about this except for a friend of mine in San Francisco. He’s been very supportive, although secretly I think he’s probably thinking that Christmas has come! There’s always the chance of someone who I know recognising me online, but my thoughts on that are if they manage to run into me online, they were obviously doing something they shouldn’t have been doing.

Since you are involved in erotica, how do you feel about porn, do you think it should be regulated?

I do not believe in censorship, therefore I don’t believe in regulation. There is a lot of stuff out there that is not something I would personally or be involved in, but everyone has different tastes and desires. This is a free world and as long as people don’t get hurt in the process, I think these tastes and desires should be fulfilled. I do, however, believe in parental influence and the correct education and protection of children and minors.

What type of music do you like, favorite bands, what about your favorite movies?

Hmmm… that’s a difficult question! With music taste, I am pretty diverse. I grew up with 80s music, so I am partial to that. However, when I go out (which is not very often these days) I like to dance, so techno really gets me pumped up. When I lived in Miami for a year I frequented the South Beach scene very heavily – it was a real treat. In general though, I like gothic and alternative music… more the older stuff than the newer The Smiths and Morrissey, The Cure, The Pixies, The
Cult, Bauhaus, Sisters of Mercy. I also like Stabbing Westward, Disturbed, Rammstein… you get the idea As far as movies go, the list is long and consists mainly of horror films, but some of my favourites are the Hellraiser series (pinhead is my hero!), House on Haunted Hill, The Changeling, The Sixth Sense, Sleepy Hollow.

What is ‘sexy’ to you? ( some like shiny leather, others white lingerie ) what really do think sexy is?

That very much depends on my mood. If I am feeling particularly naughty, I want to wear lots of black eyeliner, vinyl, fishnet and lace up boots. If I am feeling soft and vulnerable you will see me in something white, with a hint of perfume and my hair up. Generally, sexiness is not in what you wear, it’s HOW you wear it and the attitude you display with it. From time to time, viewers will send me clothing or lingerie, and they’re alway astounded as to how I can then manage to ‘make it my own’. For instance, let’s take a vinyl miniskirt… put it on, and it’s just a miniskirt. However, turn around and hitch it up a little so that your cheeks show, and voila! How much sexier can you get? I think that showing just a little can get hearts pumping in anticipation and imaginations running wild. Showing everything right off the bat is in your face and boring.

Who takes your photo’s? Are you open for other photo shoots from
professionals?

My partner and I take the majority of them, but some are shot by Mel Aber and D from Sweet Baby Octane. I really don’t have a need right now for photos from other professionals, although I always keep my eyes open for new opportunities.

Are you straight? Bi-sexual? Lesbian?

Definately straight.

What is a common question you get from people looking at your photos?

Are you single?

What else do you do for fun, what is your day like?

My days are pretty hectic. It mainly consists of sitting on my butt in front of my computer. Responding to email and working on my site takes up the majority of my day. Working on my site is not just physical work on the site, it means putting together promotional picture packs, CDs, making new graphics and banners, looking for new contacts, getting listed in the adult directories. It’s a full time job! Then, in the evenings, I spend time online with my members and viewers. I do a full photoshoot once a week to get material for my site. When I do manage to sneak away from my computer I like to read, tend to my herb garden, play with my ferrets, rollerblade, watch movies, visit used book stores. Oh wow, I sound like a nerd

Please give me ‘sentence’ or ‘statement’ for your fans or potential new
visitors..

Viewers have described me as sensual, erotic, mysterious and
above all, REAL… I am NOT your average camgirl.
