Well… that was a blast! Wicked tunes from DJ Orloff and a completely fresh set of visuals, set the mood for the incredibly effective masterpiece of creepy ghostliness that was The Innocents. <\/em>The set-up was all very… well… innocent. Kind-hearted nanny accepts a position to look after two angelic, orphaned charges. Heading for a Nanny McPhee<\/em> story, right? Sound of Music<\/em>, right? Uh uh. A brother and sister possessed.<\/p>\n

I had promised a slew of devilish treats, but due to the unforeseen, early-morning failure of the building’s water pump, we were lucky to have flushing toilets, let alone fresh baked goodies… ah… first world problems.<\/p>\n

The second feature (although not a feature, strictly speaking, since it was shown without it’s own sound track) was Female Vampire<\/em>… another one of those Franco-Italian vampire porn treasures from the seventies. This one seemed to have a cohesive plot, though: deaf-mute (hot) vampire girl sustains herself by sucking the life out of her sexual partners. Yes… that’s what I mean. Hmmm.<\/p>\n

My own costume, although brilliant in conception, was ultimately un-achievable (in some ways a blessing, since it would have severely hampered my ability to drink, ironically), but others did not disappoint. The popular vote never took place, but I think I can safely award the prize to Alexandra and Nicolas (pictured below, against a background from Freaks<\/em>, photo by Circe<\/a>). Also notable were “Marie: An Brunette”, and the glowing “Sasha” who, incidentally, lost one of his balls on the sofa! Kyril was also very convincing as Boris Yeltsin. Oh wait… maybe I’m imagining things!<\/p>\n
