Eurotrash or American Apparel: THE ANSWERS!

I've got to say, interpals, that as much as I love you all, you were alarmingly silent on last week's Eurotrash Cinema or American Apparel Ad post. For a bunch of trivia-knowing folks who can tell me Enzo G. Castellari's shoe size or give me the phone number of Dario Argento's gastroenterologist, you were so shy on this particular challenge! P8 was brave enough to venture her guesses, and I DID get at least one public declaration of undying love (back atcha, Cathy), but otherwise it was Radio Silence. Well, fortunately for you all, I've decided to take pity on the group and reveal the sources of the images.

Let's discuss!

Tallying up the results, that puts P8 at an impressive ELEVEN correct, with DJ Capybara coming in second with one correct (I'll give a bonus point since he identified the film source--nicely done, sir!). As her prize, P8 gets to come to my place, drink the Baron's absinthe, and crash on our premium-brand air mattress. I'll even make sure the sheets are clean! Bet you guys would've tried harder if you knew about the luxurious vacation reward I'd be doling out. Better luck next time!

In other, much sadder news, tonight marks the very last installment of what's become a highlight of the Tenebrous Month, Kevin Geeks Out at 92YTribeca. Now I guess I can reveal to you guys what my topic for an upcoming show was going to be. Imagine my delight when Kevin approached me about doing a presentation on WWII movies! There are LOTS of great WWII movies, like "Salon Kitty" and "Ilsa She Wolf of the SS"--I had this bitch in the BAG. Much like a nerdy sensei training the grasshopper to perform outside of her comfortable routine, however, he set the difficulty level at "Patriots." Daaaaamn! I guess I should keep cooking up something on "Kelly's Heroes" and post it here, right? In honor of Kevin and his Geek Outs, I will continue to ruminate on "Kelly's Heroes" and fix up something special to share with the internet at some point in the not-too-distant future. It'll be a refreshing change to talk about an Actually Good film that Actual People have seen, won't it?

That first one is rather surprising, tis.

And, aww.

I did a little review, mainly of Donald Sutherlands character in Kelly's Heroes, over at Like...Dreamsville a while ago. I just finished watching a Polish tv series from the 60's called 4 Tank Men And A Dog. Look that one up.

*VICTORY DANCE in my underwear!*

I love my prize. OK so now I *really* wanna know what's going on clothing-wise in pic 3, as it continues to look like clear latex to me. Sheer nude shorts over sheer nude pantyhose with seams? This is from their Don't Try This At Home line, I suppose?

I think I should come up for a visit in which we shop at AA and then watch Eurotrash while we drink the absinthe!

1. I am so disturbed/fascinated by the results of that challenge!

2. So bummed about the end of KGO and, more specifically, missing your future show!

Marc said...

Yeah - If I knew I could crash on your air mattress I might have played along. Just make sure I know when this geek out goes down. I'll try to plan some sort of trip around it!

Simon, I thought some of these might be puzzlers! Really, after watching Franco movies and browsing the AA catalog, the world becomes a bit of a blur.

DJ C, I will duly check out that series! I've never heard of it, and my curiosity is piqued.

P8, the photo you mention shows their nude backseamed pantyhose and probably a nude cami of some sort. To be honest, I'm not nuts about the sheer nude stuff outside of their photoshoots. The Disco Pants/Disco Shorts, however, are a whole 'nother story. Favorite pants of the moment--buh-lieve it!

Emily, I'm still suffering the bummers over the end of KGO. Seriously, I know how all the LOST fans feel now :*( Although I understand the KGO finale was significantly more satisfying (yikes).

Marc, we'll definitely have to do some sort of horror blog meet-up! B-Sol has been doing an incredible job of pulling together some cool social stuff. He's definitely gotten me out of my fortress of solitude on multiple occasions recently!

I would have definitely guessed the Murder Rock one correct; those leotards are crocheted onto my brain.

Judging by the pics and titles alone, it's safe to say that The Blood-Splattered Bride, Eugenie de Sade (Soledad legage), Faceless (leather skirt), Strip Nude for Your Killer, and Tombs of the Blind Dead (animal print bikini + lounging) will watched by me in the near future.

Yum-Yum, I'd LOVE to read your take on "Strip Nude for Your Killer!" It's awful, mean-spirited trash of the lowest giallo grade, but I have a feeling you could slice it apart in a most pleasing fashion indeed. That would be a real treat!
