In a truly nauseating attempt at attention grabbing and women-judging, a blog called The Vault of Horror has started something called the 2009 Ms. Horror Blogosphere Contest, which pits female horror bloggers against one another in a popularity voting exploitationsplosion.

"The winner of the contest not only gets bragging rights and the right to display the nifty Ms. Horror Blogosphere 2009 on her site-she will also get to choose an honest-to-goodnes prize," claims Brian Solomon, who thought up the contest. Despite being a contest amongst bloggers, who are writers and journalists, each entry requires a photo of the lady and a bio. Which begs the question - why aren't they just being judged on the quality of their blog and writing? Answer: because it is never too late to judge women based on their looks...

You’re an unusual decorator, she’d said.  I told her it was only art.  That I wasn’t the Starry Night type.

The rest of my 350 square foot apartment was consumed with over 25 framed pieces of movie memorabilia from the 1970s, horrifying and violent artwork which symbolized, paradoxically, the nostalgia I felt for the innocence of my movie-going youth.  Equinox.  Race with the Devil.  Westworld.  Straw Dogs. »
