Great interview ..intresting responses

7. Why do Goths prefer the night to the sunlight?
I lived by the beach as a young teen and I spent some enjoyable daylight hours there, but I've always loved the night. It is healthy to get a little bit of sun, but a good night just feels so full of possibility and excitement to me. I've never had a 24 hour internal clock biorhythm. I need to stay up longer than the average person before I can sleep and I think I need to sleep longer than the average person before I am well-rested. This has made me more attracted to any subculture which stays up past standard bedtimes. My absolutely favorite thing about online business is that it is there all the time. I can work really super long hours and I can work almost whatever hours I feel like. It makes no difference if I start my work at 8am or midnight, so long as it gets done. I really love this about the internet. I suspect I am not the only webmaster who feels this way. |

8. What are you favorite things to buy at an adult boutique?
I'm on the guest list, so I get my toys for free. Seriously, all the best sex toy companies and kinky clothing designers send Blue Blood stuff for free hoping we will give them valuable press online or in print or product placement in shoots. (In case, any GFYers want in on that, I can't accommodate everyone, but mention Ambush and I'll give you higher priority: Blue Blood, 8033 Sunset Blvd #4500, West Hollywood, CA 90046.) A lot of people decide what to buy based on what we are showcasing. I did used to manage an adult boutique. It was one of the first women-friendly sex-positive stores of its kind. I'm very proud in particular of how many women I helped to feel okay about masturbation, both their own and that of their partners. I think the stuff I sold the most of was the really high end sex toys. A cheap vibrator is worth nothing if it can't get a girl off. A good vibrator or other really quality sex toy is a worthwhile investment indeed. |
9. Do you do all your own design? Have you always done it? background therein
Although I used to do corporate design and production back in the mists of time, my real expertise there is managing print production. If you want to take a glossy magazine from concept to the consumer's doorstep looking as desired, I am your girl, but that has limited application for online business. Inhouse ForrestBlack is in charge of the overall look and feel of all Blue Blood projects, including the sites in SpookyCash. Forrest has very high quality standards, but we have a constant need for design and are always looking for good outside designers as well. Any designers reading this who think they have what it takes, who we don't already work with, are invited to email portfolio links to spookycash [AT] gothicsluts.com with Ambush in the subject. |

10. What is Blue Blood and how is it affiliated with spookycash?
Blue Blood is the overarching lifestyle brand. SpookyCash is Blue Blood's B2B affiliate program for webmasters to get paid promoting sites in our niche. Blue Blood started off as a glossy magazine published out of the basement of a punk rock group house. Blue Blood's first web presence was around 1994 and was just promo stuff for the print publication. Then, in approx 1999, we launched Gothic Sluts and Barely Evil In approx 2002, we started Blue Blood's SpookyCash which is the leading affiliate program in our niche. SpookyCash now features hosted galleries, picture of the day with optional thumbnail preview for every site in the program, hosted free sites, hosted banner rotators with both nude and nonnude banners, and a full hosted TGP where affiliate webmasters get paid on every single link and every single gallery. The program has been a great success and we expect to be doubling the number of sites in our program by the end of the year. |
I Love You Amelia!!!

hot interview Amelia!!! :)
|
this is really good stuff - good questions, great answers. ameliag and her sites bring something i like to our industry :)
|
11. How many times have you had sex without a condom?
I have never had unprotected sex. I'm a safety girl. I am a fan of condoms and dental dams and, where appropriate, monogamy. I swear. |
Great choice. Amelia G got the whole Goth niche on lock!
|
I'll keep tabs on this thread :)
|
Amelia is definitly one of my favorite people in the business. These are some questions that i can't wait to see answered! Great pick for an interview, Sleazy!
Faster with the answers, Amelia! |
12. Is pleasure linked to pain in sexual experience?
As the body's physiological response to aggression and pain is very similar to the body's physiological response to romance and sex, I think it makes all the sense in the world that a lot of people feel a link there. I think a lot more people than most would guess like some pain or domination or bondage, either giving or receiving, in their sex. Still, I don't think sex and pain have to be linked or anything. I'm at least as big a fan of a good massage as anyone. Personally, I've always been turned on by the outlaw, the outsider, the monster, the ruler, the dangerous lover who could destroy but who chooses not to do so. Probably a metaphor for love in there somewhere. |
13. What kind of awards have you won for your writing?
I won the all high school English award and I think I might have been a National Merit Scholar :winkwink: In more recent memory, my short stories have been at least an honorable mention or finalist in award anthologies including Best American Erotica, Best Women's Erotica, Best S/M Erotica, Year's Best Fantasy and Horror, Best Lesbian Erotica, etc. I've written hundreds of journalism pieces for a huge roster of clients from glossy magazines to local newspapers to underground publications to of course web sites. So I know I'm leaving some recognitions out here, but this is what I thought of off the cuff. |
Great questions! And a great choice! Amelia is a cool chick!
|
Share some images with us, Amelia -- anything at all!
Yourself, a favorite place, the neighbor's cat -- or just roll the dice... Great answers so far, BTW -- :thumbsup j- |
That's an outstanding interview with an outstanding person.. I am impressed :)
|
14. How many women/men have you photographed? naked? Of them how many did you have sex with?
With my shooting partner Forrest Black, I've photographed more than 2,000 people. Not sure what percentage were naked. I think I have photographed a few people I was already getting horizontal with, but never did anyone I photographed first. |

15. Talk about the honors thesis you did on Cross-Cultural and Historical Vampire Legends as a Paradigm for Aggressive Human Sexuality.
The title hits the main points. Let's just say that my education might have been both expensive and unusual, but perhaps it turned out to be valuable and pertinant to what I do after all. 16. Why did you move around soo much in your youth? In what places have you lived? I was born in London. I have lived on three continents, in half a dozen countries, and roughly nine states. I guess I just went wherever my family wanted to go and then I got kind of used to seeing the sun set in a new place from time to time. I still love to travel new places. 17. Have you ever killed anyone? Should it worry me to regularly get asked this question in interviews? |

18. What's the most outragious thing you've ever done at an adult convention?
I have had a GREAT time with so many of the people who post on GFY and go to the shows and are part of the webmaster community. I suspect my fun night out might be someone else's totally outrageous party. Webmasters can have a fun night out with me anywhere knowing I won't tell tales about anything they would prefer to have remain private. I do really enjoy the shows thoroughly. Sometimes I take fun snapshots of the festivities and post those I can at http://www.spookycash.com/fun/ 19. How many adult conventions do you attend a year? Which are your favorites? It really varies year-to-year. I used to occasionally hit the adult shows back when the main one was part of CES. I decide which shows to attend partly based on whether they want me to speak on a panel and partly based on location and partly based on who is creating the event and mostly based on what else I have going on workwise at the time and which of my favorite people are encouraging me to go. |

20. What was life like living in a punk rock group house?
http://www.blackleathertimes.com/v5_...v5_1_cover.gif BLT Group House Issue 21. Have you ever been sued or sued anyone? Discuss. I try to only do business with honorable people who keep their promises. I am a lawyer's daughter and I keep excellent legal representation on retainer, so I'm not one to shy away from a fight when it is necessary, but legal battles produce negative energy and that is undesirable. 22. Do you personally know all the top goth bands like Evanescence and Marilyn Manson? I'll spare you the gothy debate over which ones count as goth and which ones count as at the top. Some I hang out with and some I photograph and some I really like as people and some not so much. We are generally at least aware of one another. I am sort of used to this now, but it totally freaked me out the first time, years ago, when I was at this underground club in New Orleans and I wanted to give a copy of Blue Blood magazine to this guy who worked with Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails to pass along to Trent. And the guy told me Trent bought the issue already. A lot of members of top bands have chosen, not just who they bring backstage, but their actual girlfriends off of Gothic Sluts and Barely Evil Blue Blood girls get recognized. |

23. What kind of car do you drive? Pics
http://www.blueblood.net/_post/amelia_tc2_57.jpg http://www.blueblood.net/_post/amelia_tc1_56.jpg Photos of me with my car by Forrest Black. Article about why this is my ride at this link. 24. How many houses do you own? pics Oddly, zero. I used to have the notion that such purchases required one to pay everything up front and, having moved a lot as a kid, I also wasn't sure I wanted to commit to staying any one place. Buying some property is definitely on my to-do list, so people with more of a clue than yours truly in such matters are heartily invited to give me real estate advice. :) |

amelia was a great choice for an ambush - i love the questions and all of amelia's answers so far are perfect - just what i'd expect from here, what a great gal.
keep it coming! :thumbsup |
25. What did you end up on TV and radio for?
I'm told I give pretty good sound bites and some television producers like to do coverage such as a segment on me at work shooting vampire dominatrixes or green-haired lovers. I enjoy discussing topics from subculture fashion to photographic art to business ethics to the potential of emerging technology. Different interviewers are interested in asking me different specifics of course, but it all tends to be about Blue Blood projects. I think the only exception was a game show I competed in on military television; otherwise I have always been on television and radio for press about my various artistic and cultural endeavors. I was on a number of shows during a time period when I didn't have TV, so I don't think I saw the final cuts for various appearances on HBO and FOX and MTV. I've done radio all over the U.S. and I'm glad I don't usually record that because I think I would just be all self-conscious then. I should probably do more TV shows, but I try to be careful about who I say yes to. I've certainly had to turn down offers from Playboy and Jenny Jones and the like when I felt the depiction of my community would be too inaccurate and embarrassingly disrespectful. |
26. What happened in the 4th grade?
When I was in 4th grade, my parents put a stop to the business a friend and I were planning when we cut up a number of my friend's mom's boyfriend's magazines and glued the pages to construction paper. We had intended to distribute before my appalled parents threw out our little crafts project. Anyway, I had the entrepreneurial spirit from a very young age. 27. How often do you have sex a month and with how many different partners? male and female Why would I have sex? I sale naughty sites on the interweb. |
ambushes flowing at 3 am are perfect. super interesting answers so far :thumbsup
