Since the promo is for The Cutest Girl in Class, perhaps Irene Cara (surely in the running for that superlative) would have been more appealing than Giorgio Moroder?

[brendanconnell]

Well, it isn't Giorgio Moroder... His audience would be slightly different.... But I believe the girl in the second video is surely cuter than Irene Cara. Anyone who recognizes the theme to Flashdance though deserves especial props. Or should I say anyone who lasted that long in the video.

Kim Newman Cha Cha Cha:

A Tribute to Kim Newman

Judi dreamed she was waking up. Without moving, she got out of the double bed, pulled a rough towel robe over the things she was still wearing, and searched the mess on the carpeted floor for her Camels. She found most of her clothes, relatively unspoiled, mixed up with Coral's. Also three empty Dom Perignon bottles, a shredded Iris Murdoch paperback, some studded leather fripperies and a multi-coloured scattering of pills. Her head was an open wound, leaking steadily, and she had either vomited recently or would do so soon. She hauled her heavy black jacket out of the heap and patted its zippered pockets. No luck. She walked across the room, knees and ankles threatening to fail her, and became acutely aware of the sticky ache between her legs.

Sweet Jesus, did we get raped again?

"Grind the vermillion ink with pestles of polished basalt"?
I'm looking forward to seeing people grind ink with a pestle, Justin.
It's a liquid. They are going to get a bit splashed.

Ex Occidente Press - Transactions of the Flesh

"Diagnose our infernal disease, assail us with exultant mysticism and the sovereignty of the cadaver, give us paradise aflame and purge us with ascetic hallucinations; we want sacred whores, the substitution of orifices for stigmata, bodies for the sacrificial slaughter or the redemption of the flesh. Grind the vermilion ink with pestles of polished basalt, inscribe the smouldering sigil upon the finest vellum."

Mr. Isis, I appreciate your quirkiness, originality and sense of humour. The only problem is, I never quite know what is serious with you and what is tongue in cheek. *sigh*

[Murony_Pyre]

Pleasure is problematic, Freya...ISIS Unhinged!

[rhysaurus]

Brilliant spoof! Thank all the gods that someone else is helping to keep the venerable tradition of satire alive. I was beginning to wonder if it was just me...
