From the planet Unebula, The Glow Girls came to Earth to party and hook up with guys. Resembling our planet's female humans, each is a hot-bodied athlete unlike any babe you've ever seen. The customary attire of their home world includes hot pants and tall boots, colored neon green with orange stripes, although they occasionally shed all that in favor of bikinis. All isn't fun and games for these eye-catching extraterrestrials, as they have to keep a lookout for the mutant alien L.E.N. who desires to control them and eventually take over our world. Another interesting note is that the girls seem to feed off radioactive energy... just like Godzilla! Except for them it comes in soda cans, much easier to consume that way than busting open a nuclear reactor. They're also finding out that Earth boys are easy.
In reality, The Glow Girls are a team of twenty or so beauties who can do more than stand around and look pretty. They are currently utilized in the promotion of products, companies, and events, such as the Total Fighting Alliance. The part of their evil alien nemesis is played by Lenward L. Holness Jr., the promoter of the women. A successful business man, he lived a life of luxury. His endeavors included music, fashion, photography, and finance. He's lived in New York, Boston, Hong Kong, and now California. He grew up with Steve Tyler and Joe Perry. Then one day he grew tired of the countless business and social meetings that consumed his life. Fuck all that shit, he wanted to drive around in luxury vehicles and hang around with young scantily clad babes. And he could, because he has the influence and cash. This is his version of retirement: being single and surrounded by women. And even with this venture, it looks like King Midas is about to make gold again.
I, along with a few million others, discovered The Glow Girls on YouTube. Their video channel offered no explanation on what their purpose was, but that was far from everyone's mind because their videos featured them dancing, playing, and exercising in their tight and revealing outfits. But like all tantalizing content on YouTube, the videos and the Glow Girl channel itself was soon deleted. I guess they had to make way for such brilliant content like the nausea inducing "leave Britney alone" parodies, episodes of Naruto, and the video blog of a ditz who goes on and on about why men are such shallow cretins, and yet has a vid where she states the most important qualities of a potential boyfriend are being good looking and having a high-paying job so she doesn't have to work.
The girls came back with two new channels, but the new videos play it safe by not being as arousing as before. But I still couldn't suppress the feeling that there was more to them then dancing for three minute video clips. I looked for the girls on MySpace and the search came out positive. This led me to more information about what they were truly about, which I already described to you earlier in this blog entry. Other interesting facts about the GGs is that they have a canine mascot named Bentley, who also wears a neon green jacket. They have their own personalized "Glow Mobile", an Aptera typ-1 rugged electric hybrid with a neon green paint job. They even have a theme song by MC Funky.
The Glow Girls and L.E.N. have met California govener Arnold Schwarzenegger, the mayor of Los Angeles Antonio Villaraigosa, Chinese actress Bai Ling, reality show and MySpace celebrity Tila Tequila, and for some reason, Danny Bonaduce. But even greater than the Govenator himself, they met JON F'N LOVITZ. I'd get breasts implanted in my chest and slip on hot pants just to meet that guy!
The Glow Girls are currently exclusive to personal appearances on the west coast, but a little alien told me that they have some pretty big projects planned in the future. I can't reveal who my informant is, or L.E.N. may come for me.
And that's just the way it is.

Meet Amy Bryce
Against all better judgment, I entered the new Hottest Guy contest. I was expecting to do a more revealing shot this time, but something came up so I decided to submit my favorite pic out of my entire "cosplay" line.
Chances are high that voting in this contest is going to be skewed even worse than before. I've addressed the subject of bribing before, where someone tells you they voted you a "10" so you should do the same for them. You see, there's also another contest going on where young girls submit videos of themselves reading lines from some script, auditioning for an actual movie role in something called The Clique Movie. So since it started going on, my inbox has been flowing with messages with girls literally begging me to give them repeated 10 votes. Now ladies, if I voted 10 for all of you, what would be the point?
After my first 20 votes, I was already ranking a 4.0. Even I know that's too high. I did get a real nice compliment by a would-be actress in hopes that I would help her reach her goal:
"=-O Are You an A&F model or something? If I could, it would be a 100 million but you can only vote as high as 10. Please see my video and give it a 10 too? =] "
I'm a moron and even I know that's shallow pandering. Yes, I'm a model for Abercrombie & Fitch's new Gothic clothing line called "Aberzombie".
I've met some real pretty girls in this contest, but one in particular stands heads and toes above the rest. Her name is Amy Bryce, and she's a model in the United Kingdom. Described as an English Country Rose, this young lady caught my eye as someone special. She wants to be a role model for young girls, to prove that you don't have to be a size 0 to be a model, have fun, or be happy. She's studying to become a marine biologist and balance that with a modeling career. She wants to swim with the Kings of the Ocean, the perfect predators, the nahsty feesh weeth the reely beeg teeth: Great White Sharks. Talk about beauty and the beasts, let's just hope she stays in the shark-proof cage.

SugarLoot
What has your friendly neighborhood Writer of Darkness gotten himself involved with this time?
I registered with SugarLoot back in May for the purpose of supporting my favorite model Stephi, who I freely plugged in an April blog entry. She was involved in a monthly Hottest Girl contest, which she finished with an impressive 8.0 rating.
Of course they also had a Hottest Guy contest. I thought nothing more of this web site other than voting for one person, but then I remembered an idea I had a while back to enter my scowling self into one of the Internet's many "rate my appearance" sites. A beast among beauties. I like to be the odd man out. I also think it would be amusing just to see how low a pale fleshed, dark clothed string bean can be rated. So I looked at what my competition would be in the SugarLoot realm. The last two winners of the Hottest Guy contest looked as if they were chiseled from granite. Yup, shirt's off, body's posed as if to say "guess what I spend all my time doing?" These people spend as much time at the gym as I do at work, and I'm full time. As a matter of fact, I think that'll be my next step. When this month of the Hottest Guy contest ends, I'll enter a different picture into the next. That's right, I'll be topless, my nipples on display for the entire world to see UNCENSORED. After that contest ends, I'll probably resign from SugarLoot, my experiment concluded.
The Hottest Guy contest calls for "lady killers". I'm sure judgmental types would think of me as a killer upon first glance. It has happened, despite the fact it's usually the people you least suspect to have evil streaks that end up murdering someone in a minor dispute. Watch the news sometime.
Grand prize? Two-hundred dollar American Express gift card. For doing nothing more than uploading a picture of yourself with the hopes that people who secretly want to bang you offline will show up in droves online. That's right, it's a contest that rewards vanity.
You should always read the fine print before submitting yourself to ANYTHING. Is there a catch to winning such a dream-fulfilling grand prize for doing nothing more than showing off? Besides being ridiculed for being ugly or objectified for being attractive, you must sign away your soul. Check this shit out:
Except where prohibited by law, the winner grants (and agrees to confirm that grant in writing) permission for SugarLoot their advertising and promotional agencies, and those acting under their authority to use such winner’s name, photograph, voice and/or likeness, and winning entry (including the display, reproduction and distribution of the entry), for advertising and/or publicity purposes in all media and formats now known or hereafter discovered, worldwide and on the world wide web, without notice, review, approval, or additional compensation.
Then there's this:
Entrants further agree that SugarLoot, its respective parents, subsidiaries and affiliated companies, advertising and promotion agencies, suppliers, printers, distributors, and the respective officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents of each and any other person or entity related in any way to this Contest (together the “Contest Entities”) will have no liability whatsoever for, and shall be held harmless by entrants (and parent/legal guardian if entrant is a minor) against, any and all liability for any injuries, loss or damage of any kind to persons, including death, or property damage resulting in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, from acceptance, possession, misuse or use of any prize, participation in this promotion, or while traveling to, preparing for or participating in any prize-related activity. The Contest Entities expressly disclaim any responsibility or liability for injury or loss to any person or property in connection with the delivery and/or subsequent use of the prizes awarded.
The guidelines say that if you win, they own you. If a large amount of people think you're nice to look at, you have to bend to SugarLoot's demands. Appear on TV, ads, stuff like that. Essentially, they can turn you into their little corporate whore, but if someone who lost the contest goes insane and breaks your kneecaps, SugarLoot will respond by using you in ad spots that focus on your face. I would just love to see myself cast into one of those "Axe Tag body spray/deodorant commercials. You know, the ones where the guy just applies a little bit to his body and all the girls (only sexy ones, of course) from the tri-state area come running after him. "Wow, that guy has a manufactured scent, therefore I would like to engage in the most personal of activities with him."
I really don't know how serious these contests are taken. I decided to take some time to rate the female contestants, and here's a sampling of the entries I found: A rather classy table and chair set. An elderly woman. A female anime character. A male anime character. Tiffiani Amber-Theissan, submitted by someone who most likely isn't Tiffani Amber-Theissan. A gorgeous sunset. A transsexual. Okay, I know trannies are people too, but a guy dressing as a girl still doesn't qualify as actually BEING A GIRL. Because you're not. You're a man. In feminine make-up. I had to add "feminine" to describe the make-up because males can wear a type of make-up too. You don't think Sloth from The Goonies (R.I.P.) looked like that in real life, do you?
If a fuckin' chair can get an average rating of 5, should I be insulted if I can only get a 3.5 without bribes? Bribes? Yeah, that goes on. Girls (and sometimes a guy) will send you messages asking you to vote a 10 for their contest entries in exchange for a 10 rating on yours. No, I haven't done that, but I did get bumped up to a 4.1 just because they asked me to vote 10 for them for the 10 rating they already gave me. Some "Fans" (an equivalent to Friends on MySpace) I gained were people that didn't actually like me, but wanted to use me to boost their chances of being not only rating them, but rating them high. Proof? They become fans of every SugarLoot contestant. I started out averaging a 3.5, dipping as low as 3.2 and as high as 3.7. Then when the bribes started flowing in, I was boosted up to a 4.9 as of this writing. As low as it is, I'd much rather be an honest three and a half than a cheap five. The whole purpose of a guy like me entering a beauty contest is to see exactly how badly mainstream portrays a Dark Spirit.
DO I LOOK LIKE THE KIND OF GUY WHO CAN RANK BABIES BY CUTENESS?
And that's just the way it is.

Demonic Possession
What has been possessed by demons? James-Gannon.com, of course. Despite the fact that my Sleep Terrors are still affecting me regularly, I still maintain complete control of my mind, body, and spirit.
Some religions believe in demons as much as they do their respective deities, most seeing them as evil. But since I'm an atheist and don't believe in the existence of such things, demons represent a neat accessory to dark spirit culture. Like how "bad" equals "cool", as long as it remains in fiction and not brought into reality. Sort of like Grand Theft Auto, it's all fun and games until some loose-brained malcontent blurs the line separating the play world with our own.
Loner's Dungeon
Although probably heading for a name change, Loner's Dungeon is a web site much darker and emotional than my own. Its webmaster is a young girl from Arizona with many aliases. Mostly known as Demon Loner but now going by Demon Martyr, I've personally referred to her as Lady Demon ever since I met her years ago.
Here's our "how we met" story. I wandered into a chat room she created on AOHell. It was named something along the lines of "do not talk to me", so I naturally tried to engage her in conversation. It turned out that the reason for her making such a room was to collect material from the legions of dimwitted America Online users who would pop into her chat room and make complete asses of themselves. She would copy the "best" comments and paste them onto her user profile or AOL Hometown web site for ridicule. We all have our hobbies.
I lost contact with her when she to canceled her AOL account because they thought her various demon inspired screen names were offensive. Honestly, she would go into chat rooms, religious zealots would cry over the then sixteen-year-old girl with the name "DemonBloodBath", and then she would be cited for a TOS (terms of service) violation. I'm sure the screen name "ILoveJesus" would have been acceptable, but what if you don't? Anyway I asked her for her home address so we could keep in touch. When my first letter reached her, it freaked her mother out because of all the horror stories she would hear about people who met on the Internet hooking up in real life and ending with someone getting raped. All from a piece of paper that contained the first chapter of an online book I was writing at the time.
The main feature of "The Dungeon" is to display her poetry, byproducts of her mind and a small depiction of her life's story. As her online nickname suggests, she also has a particular interest in demons. Her web site is aptly titled a dungeon because one page is devoted to collected graphics of demons, nytemares, and loonies. Those come from web pages that host animated gif files of strange and bizarre looking creatures you can "adopt" and display on your own web page. This was long before "widgets" became popular.
The Dungeon fell into disuse for quite a while after dropping AOL, although she signed up at a web site called All Poetry to feed her creative habit. After a couple of years wondering what happened to that demon girl, I searched Google for "Loner's Dungeon" and found a few sites that featured those keywords, mostly as links posted by Lady Demon herself. Now we are talking again and helping out each other's web endeavors.
During our time away, Lady Demon started to create tile graphics to be used as web page backgrounds. I was very impressed with them and chose several to spruce up my own site. Credit is paid back to her at the bottom of every page that features her work. That, and the aforementioned link to her Dungeon on my Links page.
Adopt-A-Demon
When I visited Lady Demon's web site after first meeting her, I became interested in the three demon graphics I saw there. They came from a place called Adopt-A-Demon, where a vast selection of unearthly creatures can be taken and placed on your own site. The only catch is giving credit to AOD on your find(s). I originally adopted four to keep on my old AOL Hometown site, but that whole thing went away when I ended my own account. Years later, when I finally decided to purchase my own .com address, I gave no thought into resurrecting my Hell babies from their inanimate prison within my hard drive. It was only after reuniting with Lady Demon that they entered my head again. I also went back to Adopt-A-Demon and took nine more of the underworld spawn to haunt James-Gannon.com. So have a heart... visit the site and adopt one of these preciously evil visions to inhabit your own online domain.

Tony Payne's Custom Jewelry
The second web site I added to my Links section is Tony Payne's Custom Jewelry. Based in Madison, Mississippi, he extends his reach to the online world after more than 20 years in the business.
Tony's trade deals mainly in pendants, rings, and pins. He can make them in the shape of most anything you can imagine: animals, religious symbols, business logos, or some creative stone setting. He'll even make you a championship sports ring! And you don't have to do anything to earn it, either! Materials he works with are sterling silver, white and yellow gold, and platinum. He can even insert custom cut precious gemstones and diamonds into your piece.
What goes into getting your own custom piece of jewelry from out of your brain to hanging around your neck? Or pinned to your shirt? Or hugging your ring finger? First, you either describe your idea of what you want your piece to look like to Tony, and he'll e-mail you a sketch of what he feels you're thinking of. Or you can do a drawing yourself and e-mail it to him. After you both settle on a design and a 50% down payment is made, a wax carving of your piece will be made. He'll e-mail you a picture of what that looks like, and if you approve, he'll cast it in whatever material you chose. He'll show you the result, and if you approve, you send the dough, he sends the jewelry.
I happened into Tony Payne myself back in 2004. Entering "custom jewelry" into an Internet search engine, I chose his site out of all the results specifically because he dealt with sterling silver. I browsed his pages to check out his work, and decided this was the place I was looking for. I drew a quick mock-up of the vision I had for a pendant( the Callous "CS" symbol) with some size specifications and e-mailed it to him.
Now let me tell you a little bit of history on the Callous Symbol. The origin of this pendant is seen in my first short story Enter: The Callous One, posted in the Writings section of my web site. Basically, when Hunter Cameron, the main character of much of my writings, turned over a dark leaf in life, he wanted to bear something on his person that symbolized his rebirth. So he went to the local silversmith in his small town and asked him to create a pendant that was basically an abbreviation of his new nickname "Callous". That being the first and last letters of his title fused together.
The best logos aren't complex, they should be easy to recognize. I guess I'm fortunate that my drawings aren't highly detailed, case in point the logos I create for my characters. The whole reason I even looked for a custom jewelry site was to see if the Callous symbol pendant could exist in real life. It was affordable, it was created by competent hands, so I went for it. I'll utilize his services in the future, but the CS pendant more than suits me for now. Oh, and Tony Payne is the official jeweler of James-Gannon.com

I drew a quick mock-up of the vision I had for a pendant( the Callous "CS" symbol) with some size specifications and e-mailed it to him.
Tony e-mailed me back saying he could do it. It's a good thing too, what kind of crafter would he be if he couldn't get this thing into the third dimension? He gave his prices for carving, casting, finishing, material, shipping, and insurance, and would begin as soon as he received the down payment from me. After sending him a check, and waiting for my turn to come up, he e-mailed me a couple of pictures of the wax carving for the pendant.
I was pleased with his wax sacrifice and gave him the go ahead for the casting. About a week later, he sent me this picture.
He told me that his quality control department, Mrs. Payne, noted that the pendant doesn't hang evenly, so he supplied me with some options on how to correct this. I chose one, and he got to fixing it. Soon after, he showed me what we hoped would be the final result.
We had a winner!
My pendant is a simplistic piece, but I assure you that Tony is capable of far more complex designs than this. But... you don't have to take my word for it. (LeVar Burton impression.) Check out his site yourself, it's peppered with his handiwork.

Stephi Heaven
Today on The Epitaph, I'll discuss in depth the first web site I added to my long dormant Links page. Stephi's Paradise, online home of Stephanie... no last name on file. Underneath her site banner are links that take you to pages where you can vote for her in online contests, and also view more pictures.
I first saw "Miss Brown Eyes" at her original, corporately owned web site where she was featured alongside six other models. In my eyes, she was the standout. I made it a point to stop by every so often to check out new pictures. But then a day came where she disappeared without a trace, possibly due to contract dispute/creative differences/different career outlook. Curses, I'll never be able to witness her beauty again, or so I thought. About a year later, I entered some key words into an internet search engine and managed to find her new site. No longer having to share the spotlight, Stephi has staked claim to a portion of the Internet's vast real estate and set up her own virtual paradise. Even planted some palm tree graphics. She's mostly a bikini model, most appropriate given her site's theme, but she'll occasionally dress up in themed outfits and even show off her intimate attire.
Even though I don't know her personally, I have exchanged a few e-mails with her and she comes across as a sweet and level-headed lady. I also won a contest on her web site by correctly guessing which of a series of outfits she would be modeling in the future. My prize was a mouse pad emblazoned with an image of her in one of her most risque bikinis ever. Makes me wish I used a mouse instead of my notebook's touch pad. Although at least I can't ruin the image by endlessly dragging a trackball over it.
My goal for linking her web site? While not interacting with her directly, I want to see if I can in some small way, help her become successful. Although I'd have to generate more traffic towards my own site in order to do that. Oh yeah, if you visit her MySpace page, you'll probably find a few drawings I did for her. It gives me a chance to draw a subject most of my material isn't geared towards. Bikini models. But unfortunately, I don't think she is a fan of my work. Did I mention she wants to be a stewardess, too?
Descriptions of contests Stephi is involved in circa 4/12/07
In Search of the World's Most Beautiful Woman: An online beauty pageant hoping to extend into television as a reality show. If this were to happen, it'd be the only one I'd ever watch if Stephi was featured. You can vote with or without registering every sixty minutes. I've gotten no junk mail after registering my e-mail address, so don't let that worry stop you. There's a big problem with the voting process where people will repeatedly give low votes to contestants and decrease their score an alarming amount. Even if the web site staff decides to do something about it, they don't repair the damage, so I'm guessing that doing well in this contest is a crap shoot.
Ms. Bikini World: The grand prize at year's end is to be named Ms. Bikini World for that year. I guess that's good for padding your resume. Registering is required to vote, which is once every twenty-four hours. Also had no problem with unwanted e-mails after doing so.
Biker Dolls: Whoever can woo the most votes from judges is rewarded with a $25,000 prize and an opportunity for some exposure at Biker Week 2008. But there's actually an incentive to vote... a chance to win a $30,000 custom motorcycle and an expenses paid invitation to Biker Week for yourself. There's a few steps to signing up, one of which is to agree to a three day trial of Sirius Radio online. But like the other contests, unchecking various boxes will prevent you from getting junk mail.
Strange as it sounds, I don't want to win the judge's contest. The only thing I like about motorcycles are the models that usually pose by them. I'm not a biker bad ass, I'm a 150 pound jabroni. I'm sure lots of bikers are of high class and intellect most of the time, but I'll probably be required to discuss issues important to the majority of the crowd at the event. Those being bikes, beer, and bitches. If I attempt to ride a motorcycle, I will fall. And if I fall, I will cry. Men aren't supposed to cry, so I best avoid situations where tear-shedding is an outcome. (I'm not a wuss, I just know my limitations.)
In the slight chance I do win, I'd only attend Bike Week if Stephi is there. What would be the point if the model I supported the whole way doesn't win? Chances are I'll be required to have my photos taken with my motorcycle. That would make me a poseur. But it could give me some of that coveted "street cred".
I will request a picture be taken featuring Stephi and I with my bike, because I feel that would make a great picture to post on my homepage.
Is She Hot?: Savvy Girls is some kind of online version of a men's magazine. You know, the ones that actual men don't read. Registration required, make sure you unclick offers to receive mail, you get the picture by now.
Rockin' Profiles: Vote for the best MySpace profiles in different categories each month. Mostly geared towards musicians, but will have contests for ladies every once in a while. Prize for winners is an "awesome" banner and added exposure on their web site. Another contest where you can vote whether you register or not. You can vote once at the beginning of a new hour. A plus for registered judges is that every vote you make is added up that will someday give you bonuses from their sponsors.
Stephi is the official model of James-Gannon.com. I should also add that Stephi does not endorse James-Gannon.com.
And that's just the way it is.
I first saw "Miss Brown Eyes" at her original, corporately owned web site where she was featured alongside six other models. In my eyes, she was the standout. I made it a point to stop by every so often to check out new pictures. But then a day came where she disappeared without a trace, possibly due to contract dispute/creative differences/different career outlook. Curses, I'll never be able to witness her beauty again, or so I thought. About a year later, I entered some key words into an internet search engine and managed to find her new site. No longer having to share the spotlight, Stephi has staked claim to a portion of the Internet's vast real estate and set up her own virtual paradise. Even planted some palm tree graphics. She's mostly a bikini model, most appropriate given her site's theme, but she'll occasionally dress up in themed outfits and even show off her intimate attire.
Even though I don't know her personally, I have exchanged a few e-mails with her and she comes across as a sweet and level-headed lady. I also won a contest on her web site by correctly guessing which of a series of outfits she would be modeling in the future. My prize was a mouse pad emblazoned with an image of her in one of her most risque bikinis ever. Makes me wish I used a mouse instead of my notebook's touch pad. Although at least I can't ruin the image by endlessly dragging a trackball over it.
My goal for linking her web site? While not interacting with her directly, I want to see if I can in some small way, help her become successful. Although I'd have to generate more traffic towards my own site in order to do that. Oh yeah, if you visit her MySpace page, you'll probably find a few drawings I did for her. It gives me a chance to draw a subject most of my material isn't geared towards. Bikini models. But unfortunately, I don't think she is a fan of my work. Did I mention she wants to be a stewardess, too?
Descriptions of contests Stephi is involved in circa 4/12/07
In Search of the World's Most Beautiful Woman: An online beauty pageant hoping to extend into television as a reality show. If this were to happen, it'd be the only one I'd ever watch if Stephi was featured. You can vote with or without registering every sixty minutes. I've gotten no junk mail after registering my e-mail address, so don't let that worry stop you. There's a big problem with the voting process where people will repeatedly give low votes to contestants and decrease their score an alarming amount. Even if the web site staff decides to do something about it, they don't repair the damage, so I'm guessing that doing well in this contest is a crap shoot.
Ms. Bikini World: The grand prize at year's end is to be named Ms. Bikini World for that year. I guess that's good for padding your resume. Registering is required to vote, which is once every twenty-four hours. Also had no problem with unwanted e-mails after doing so.
Biker Dolls: Whoever can woo the most votes from judges is rewarded with a $25,000 prize and an opportunity for some exposure at Biker Week 2008. But there's actually an incentive to vote... a chance to win a $30,000 custom motorcycle and an expenses paid invitation to Biker Week for yourself. There's a few steps to signing up, one of which is to agree to a three day trial of Sirius Radio online. But like the other contests, unchecking various boxes will prevent you from getting junk mail.
Strange as it sounds, I don't want to win the judge's contest. The only thing I like about motorcycles are the models that usually pose by them. I'm not a biker bad ass, I'm a 150 pound jabroni. I'm sure lots of bikers are of high class and intellect most of the time, but I'll probably be required to discuss issues important to the majority of the crowd at the event. Those being bikes, beer, and bitches. If I attempt to ride a motorcycle, I will fall. And if I fall, I will cry. Men aren't supposed to cry, so I best avoid situations where tear-shedding is an outcome. (I'm not a wuss, I just know my limitations.)
In the slight chance I do win, I'd only attend Bike Week if Stephi is there. What would be the point if the model I supported the whole way doesn't win? Chances are I'll be required to have my photos taken with my motorcycle. That would make me a poseur. But it could give me some of that coveted "street cred".
I will request a picture be taken featuring Stephi and I with my bike, because I feel that would make a great picture to post on my homepage.
