Blasphemy Day is a new internet-spawned holiday like Talk Like a Pirate Day or CAPS LOCK DAY. I’m not surprised that more people added typing like a pirate to their holiday calendars than typing in all capital letters, but I would have thought more people would have gotten into Blasphemy Day.

Blasphemy Day is set for September 30, as a tip of the hat to the riots caused when a Danish newspaper ran a cartoon of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. According to the anonymously-run Blasphemy Day web site, “International Blasphemy Day is not just a day. It is a movement to dismantle the wall which exists between religion and criticism . . . The objective of International Blasphemy Day is to open up all religious beliefs to the same level of free inquiry, discussion and criticism to which all other areas of academic interest are subjected.” Noble aspiration, although I’m not sure a mean-spirited cartoon really advances human knowledge. Slaying sacred cows can be humorous (Heck, even the existence of the idiomatic expression sacred cow is pretty funny), but I have yet to hear anyone explain what the joke was in the Danish Muhammad cartoon, except maybe that it would piss people off.

I used to feel like each person’s individual relationship with their deity or deities or lack thereof was . . . well, personal. I am a fan of analysis and critical thinking, but I pretty much don’t discuss religion. I lived in Israel as a teenager and all major religions go there for debate. Or it being the cradle of three of the major modern religions. Or something like that. While living there, someone I knew complained to me about an agnostic debating him on his Christianity. He said he felt it was wrong for someone undecided to try to convince him that his religion was predicated on something he couldn’t be sure of because, if the undecided agnostic won the debate, they would have stolen his faith. His position was that his faith was valuable to him and being undecided meant nothing to the agnostic. I just did a quick Bing on the person who said that and he apparently is still losing and rediscovering his faith on a regular basis, so maybe he was actually the agnostic. Whether or not the person, who made the point on the value of faith for the believer, was an idiot probably doesn’t make the point invalid.

But then I lived in Georgia. And that totally changed my views on religious tolerance. I experienced countless people who considered themselves religious use their status as a person of faith to behave in incredibly bigoted ways towards those around them. Including me. I literally had door-to-door religion salesmen defecate on my porch. I had bakers ask me if I drank baby’s blood when I was trying to buy a bagel. (No, I eat bagels. Duh.) I had come across bigots before, but I’d never seen this level of intolerant, assumption-making, busy-body, beating-down of anybody different. I had a pretty normal punk reaction to Southern oppression in that it made me want to jump up and down on the tables, yell, and rebel. Blasphemy became utterly hilarious to me.

While kind of doing the couch tour in between Atlanta and Los Angeles, Forrest Black registered the domain BarelyEvil.com. (Do not click that link if you are at work, unless your office is totally cool with viewing naked blasphemers while on the clock.) He was amused by the idea of satanic teens and I’m a big fan of putting a site on a domain, once it is registered, so Forrest Black built Blue Blood’s Barely Evil, and we did kind of a lot of shoots involving crosses, fetish nuns, and devil girls. They were fun and creative. BarelyEvil takes a light-hearted approach to the subject matter. You can see a free devil girl gallery Forrest Black and I shot here and both those full series, in all their glory, are available in the Blue Blood VIP members area. We’ve shot a lot of different styles of devilgirls, but we did this style first with Dana Dark and later of Szandora, Scar 13, Masuimi Max, Lori the Gory, and Nina Sin, among others.

So, is blasphemy funny or mean, uncalled-for or needed, or some gray area combo of the above? Is slaughtering sacred cows a good thing or is the very expression “slaughtering sacred cows” hate speech? Are you ready to celebrate Blasphemy Day?

My thoughts through the pirate translater: Arrr, altporn: Talk Like a Pirate Day. It is too bad Talk Like a Pirate Day falls on a weekend this year. I’m goin’ t’ a pirate-themed party tonight, but most offline people do not celebrate Talk Like a Pirate Day, so I have been missin’ my fill o’ pirate speak. It seems like most o’ my fa’orite sites didn’t do pirate updates for the occasion this year, e’en if they did when it fell on a weekday in pre’ious years. Fortunately, I was able t’ dig back a little and find pirates from Blueblood, Burnin’angel, and GodsGirls. Blueblood has pirate Lenka brandishin’ a musket and Lenka has a cute fuzzy real li’e monkey assistant. Not only is usin’ a real monkey pretty bra’e, but gettin’ pirates and monkeys in the same update is like some kind o’ internet double word score meme. Burnin’angel has pirate No’a makin’ use o’ James Deen while he is dead out fast asleep. Thar used t’ be a lot o’ sleep “attack” sites, but Me hear a lot o’ them just got closed down because the credit card people have all apparently ne’er been woken up for sex by anyone they dated and thin’ tis’ baaaaaaad. Burnin’angel for the win for still ha’in’ sleep sex and pirates. GodsGirls has pirate Julene brandishin’ a musket with a skull on her ass and gold coins fall from the sky. Enough said. Gar, Where can I find a bottle o’rum?

Want to know more about all the models, photographers, writers, and everyone who makes the various Blue Blood sites happen? There is http://www.blueblood.net if you surf from the workplace, but now there is also the free blog http://www.blueblood.com/news/ if you want to be able to find all the related hotness.

This blog is the digital incarnation of the print Blue Blood magazine’s contributor page. Every print issue used to have a contributors page to promote the other projects of Blue Blood’s writers, illustrators, photographers, models, and everyone who helped make the magazine happen. If you just can’t get enough of a particular Blue Blood contributor’s work, this blog will aim to help you find more of their cool creations.

Editrix Amelia G says, “I founded Blue Blood in 1992 to celebrate a community I was very much a part of. When I gave Steve Jackson Games a writer’s contact info or White Wolf gave me illustrator contact info or I gave an author Circlet Press’ calls for submissions or a Blue Blood writer gave me Masquerade Books’ editor guidelines, these acts of sharing were not aberrations; they were the whole point . . . If you are a Blue Blood contributor, print or online, this year or distant past, and you have a new project, we’d love to hear about it and promote it here. Please drop us a line.

I don’t usually have the biggest sweet tooth, but I’ve been eating fruity juice flavored raspberry licorice and caramelized pecans all day today. Been that kind of week. So I thought what could be sweeter than the sweet Nummy Monkey surrounded by sweets. I’m pleased to introduce you all to this new hottie. As someone myself who tries to take care that the carpet match the drapes, I really appreciate Nummy Monkey’s especially boldly colorful carpet!

Roggie a.k.a. Rogizoid just smolders in these shots lensed by Lori Mann. Lori has some of the luckiest staircases in America. Each of these shots is from a different set. Whole series are in the Blue Blood VIP.

I’d like to introduce you all to new model Bad Charlotte, lensed by Lori Mann. Hurray for flowers, hot baths, and long colorful hair, three of my favorite things.
