Burlesque (but of course!), pinups, kustoms and hot rods, lowbrow art, anything Tiki, anything monster, and live music that's way too loud!..
Tura Satana so I can thank her for being one of the all-time most badass broads ever!
I like many kinds of music: punk, goth, deathrock, rockabilly, psychobilly, honky tonk, jazz, swing, blues, ska, J Pop, power pop, shoe gazer, industrial, techno, Bollywood show tunes, bluegrass, ragtime, and probably a few more genres I'm forgetting!
I love movies so much, I could never pick a favorite. Good ones, bad ones, I love 'em all! Some flicks I've recently watched (some for the nth time) are: The Aristrocrats (funny as hell, NOT for the easily offended!), The Blob (the original! screw remakes!), Secretary, May (I swear, the more out of her head May gets, the hotter she gets!), The Big Lebowski, Switchblade Sisters, Beat Girl, Hot Rods to Hell, Pink Flamingos, My Best Fiend Klaus Kinski, Blue Velvet, Taxi Driver, Maniac, Ichi the Killer, House of 1000 Corpses, Barfly, Cry Baby, Audition, Infection, A Dirty Shame, Dawn of the Dead (original version), Nacho Libre (the kid's idea, though it wasn't as bad as I was expecting), The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, Broken Flowers, From Dusk Till Dawn, Resevoir Dogs, I Love You to Death, Lipstick & Dynamite, Piss & Vinegar (a ..ary on lady wrestlers, excuse me, wrasslers from the 1940s and 1950s, a must see!), Animal House, and the Texas Chainsaw Massacre (original, natch!).
Mostly cartoons (Cartoon Network's Adult Swim rules!), but I'm also hooked on the Sopranos and Carnivale. I love a lot of BBC comedies too- Coupling, The Young Ones and AbFab are the funniest shows ever!
Favorite authors include Tom Robbins, Pleasant Gehman, Clive Barker, Dorothy Parker, Charles Bukowski, Diane Wakoski, William Gibson, Hunter S. Thompson, Chuck Palahniuk, Edgar Allen Poe and Jeff Noon.
Heroes are for comic books! But people who inspire me include Poison Ivy (of the Cramps, baby! though PI from the Batman comics is pretty hot too), Tura Satana, Lauren Bacall, Theda Bara, Josephine Baker, Satan's Angel, Russ Meyers, Roger Corman, RuPaul, Divine, Dinah Cancer, Exene Cervenka, Rosalie Sorrels, P.T. Barnum, Dolly Parton, Dorothy Parker and of course, Bettie Page!
