Vampires Are Sexy


I think it's time to bring vampires back. Not from the dead, but back into popular mainstream culture. Goth/punk culture is reaching an all time high yet again and this ever growing gang of pale restless male and female young adults are looking once again for their Nosferatu leader. And I'm not talking about Marilyn Manson or the whole Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt homoerotic vampire thing. We need a new vampire role model to appear on the big screen for the sake of pop culture. One who is hot and can actually hold a convincing accent. Perhaps it could be played by a Jonathan Rhys Meyers or Michael Pitt. When is the next good vampire movie going to come out? Because I don't know about you but I've been waiting for quite some time.
I for one aspire to be a vampire. No, I do not wish to kill people and drink blood out of their necks, but I want everything else that comes with being a vampire. I want their dark and mysterious energy. Their smooth ivory moonlit skin and thick silky black hair. I want to have permanent black eyeliner form around my eyes and I want the color of my lips to be such a pure blood red that they look as if they might drip away at any moment. I have met many people in my numerous awkward encounters who would want the same thing as well. What I wouldn't give to become one of those undead night creatures. But alas, it will never be because the neck sucking and killing people part is pretty much the main definition of being a vampire and I guess when it comes to murder I'm just not down. And with out that I'm just a moody bitch who doesn't like to wake up in the morning and hates sunny days. But it's more than that. I think the whole vampire culture is really hot. Vampires are so awkward that they go around full circle and become cool. They are so creepy that they are sexy. So I guess for an awkward creepy person like me, vampires are kind of the ultimate goal. What I wouldn't give to be one...
