"Vampira" has passed away - Bob Schroeck - 01-15-2008
I heard this on the radio this morning -- actress Maila Nurmi, who created (and became) the "Vampira" character in 1954 to host a TV show, passed away on Thursday January 10. The radio coverage I heard credited her with essentially creating the goth look. I wasn't a fan, myself, but I do recognize that many are. There's more information at her website, www.vampirasattic.com/ .

I intend to be a freak for the rest of my life, and I shall baffle you with cabbages and rhinoceroses in the kitchen and incessant quotations from Now We Are Six through the mouthpiece of Lord Snooty's giant poisoned electric head. So theeeeeere....
