Related to the glee of social networking, I've recently picked up the Twitter habit, as you might've noticed from the widget at Blog-Right. I cannot tell a lie--I kind of love the format and I'd welcome new fellow nerds to add to my daily diet of tweeting!
Just so I'm not breaking my own self-imposed rule and adding a content-free post to this blog, I'll share this interview with portrait painter Shawn Barber on FecalFace.com has
some truly gorgeous images of Barber's work, including the totally-NSFW version of the already fairly NSFW nun painting shown here. Much like the most amazing thing about a Vargas painting is the painter's ability to capture the look of the silk stocking on a woman's leg, I'm REALLY impressed with Barber's ability to paint tattooed skin. This is good stuff people--check it out!

I'm twittering you as I speak.

Super-blogger? Great, now I have to start living up to expectations! :-D
Danke for the shout out, and happy anniversary!
Happy Blogaversiary! And many happy returns. You're definitely one of the reasons I keep paying my internet bills!
I too have recently given in to peer pressure and become all a-twitter. The most challenging thing about it for me so far is avoiding tweets like "What's this stuff in the crook of my elbow?" and "Boy, *she's* cute!" It's a lot of pressure, compressing all this wisdom and wit into 140 characters.
I'll just have to keep watching the Empress to see how it's done. :)
Oh, and I'm sure the Duke will come by to slaver all over your linked art, once he's...well...*finished*...
Kate, you are the only person for whom I will click on a link to a site called "fecalface.com"...I hope you realize what depths of our friendship that level of trust represents.
Thanks for joining Twitter (I'm NateYapp -- editor-in-creep of Classic-Horror.com). I have precious few horror geeks to blabber back and forth with over there.
(I've been following your blog for a few months, although sporadically since I have it bookmarked on my work computer and it's NSFW sometimes. My company's lax about these things, but I really should just add the link to my home laptop)
Oo er Igloo Keeper! I admire your multitasking skills.
Darius, you exceed expectations every day both on the clean-blogging and dirty-blogging sides of the equation. Again--multitasking skills in evidence!
You're the sweetest, Vicar. And you're just FINE at Twittering. I'm already appreciating your Naschythoughts in that forum!
Jack, you KNOW I have your best interests in mind. I've come to DEPEND on you for music advice and apocalypse-related YouTube clips--there's no way I'm going to endanger our beautiful camaraderie with poop-related links.
Hi Nate! You had me at "Bava fan," trust me. And going into Classic-Horror.com and seeing you're a Franco enthusiast as well has got me all pitter-patting. Thank you so much for reading! You're making me smile *thisbig* -- :D
Wow! Thanks for once again pointing us, your congregation, in the direction of all that is awesome, Frau Kate.
Perhaps I should start on this Twitter ride as well. Would people really want to read things like "Woke up this morning. Had pot of coffee and Hungarian whore for breakfast. Went back to bed with bottle of Chateau L'Fuqd and original lithographic print of Malleus Maleficarum."? Perhaps.
The full version of that nun portrait looks like it should be entitled "Nun and Beef Curtains", or perhaps "Nun and Arby's Roast Beef Sandwich Left Too Long In The Sun". At any rate, I must own it, for it did indeed raise the Ducal flag, IYKWIM.
Congratulations on your blog anniversary! You are my first stop for good writing, thoughtful criticism and hot nun action.
I can see where Franco gets a bad rap, but he's worthy of serious critical study. At the same time, anybody who tries to tell me that Dracula, Prisoner of Frankenstein is a sublime masterpiece needs to get their head out of their ass.
I'm really enjoying this blog. You're welcome to contribute a feature or something to Classic-Horror any ol' time. Just shoot me an email (nate at the C-H domain).
Dearest Duke, I think Twitter would be blessed to have your updates! I, for one, would love to be kept abreast of your peasant-deflowering exploits.
Pierre, I'm beaming to know that I play such an important role in the blogosphere. Life is sweet sometimes.
Nate, I'll definitely accept that offer at some point soon! Watch your inbox ;)
