Reanimating the inner vampire

It seems that this blog didn't take flight the way I had hoped. I apologize for that to all of you, my dear readers, and promise that I’ll be sharing my vampiristic thoughts with you more actively from now on. Other things than vampires have been occupying my mind in this all too hypocritical place they call real world. Well, I’m back now, trying my best to reawaken my vampire-self from her hibernation.

My wish is to make this blog a conversational one, so please feel free to share your opinions on anything related to vampires or to this blog. Respectful behaviour is advised, I do not wish to see a Twilight vs. anti-Twilight war in my comment box.

My love for aristocratic vampires has taken a leap towards all things noble – which shouldn’t be too surprising, since I have loved all princess-related things ever since I was a little girl. As I still don’t have any significant topics to write about, I will show you a few photos from yesterday. I was going for something like a princess in the garden, but ended up with a bit more gothic twist.

Our pool manages to ruin the feeling in that last photo…

I also took a few new balcony photos, wearing basically the same clothes as in my vampire photo shoot last summer. I wanted to go for a more vampire-like feeling here, but as I found a nice piece of lace I decided to veil my eyes and so the photos took a twist towards mystique. I think I ended up looking like a seer of some kind.

Well, I guess that was it for my appearance update. Now it’s your turn. What do you think about the appearances of vampires? Do you prefer your vampires as gothic or aristocratic or just like any average human? I prefer gothic and/or aristocratic myself, as you know, but I think their looks depend on their personas – same as humans, in that sense. However –and I don’t want to sound like a jerk here - in my opinion the vampires in the TV series True Blood look way too human. Especially the ones with beer bellies seem downright wrong to me. Is it just me or do too many human characteristics make vampires lose some of their unearthly charm?

Alright, that was really it. Until the next nightly encounter, my lovely vampire clan. Keep the comments coming and tell me if you are interested in editing my photo. I feel like they could use a hand of a talented photoshopper. Here is what Iiraliina came up with while editing a photo from my previous vampire photo shoot:

Thank you dear~ ♥
