Too Disgusting to Contemplate, Too Compelling to Ignore

Hey, Dirk! It was great to meet you last night! Hope to hear from you soon.

Scott

Where do we get to see what you look like today, Dirk?

Dirk,

Please post a link to this on your blog and send it to your friends.

In summary

Hundreds of articles and public health campaigns send the message that
gay men are the only people that use methamphetamine then have unprotected sex.
This does not exactly make the gay community look very good. In fact,
meth use has decreased radically among homosexuals in San Francisco. Meanwhile,
heterosexual meth users are still having tons of unprotected sex that
could result in the spread of HIV and other sexually transmitted
diseases. The media is all too ready to cast homosexuals in a bad
light. Even worse, since the media and researchers have regarded this
as an exclusively homosexual problem, public health campaigns have
been oriented towards gays and neglected heterosexual addicts.

Keep on blogging,

I want to be your hag, too. How many hags is too many?

Hey Dirk,

I write to ask if you would consider writing a short piece about the new gay-themed, campy slasher I just finished producing, “Skull & Bones” (USA , 2007, 73 minutes) for your blog. The tagline “A Tale of Homo-cidal Mania” sums up writer/director T. S. Slaughter’s original and darkly humorous take on a traditional genre. Allow me to highlight other key features of the film:

“Skull & Bones” is controversial, nasty, and extreme.

Audience members at private New York screenings have described the film as “twisted,” “disturbing,” and “subversive,” but also “hilarious” and “hot.”

Writer/Director T. S. Slaughter professionally directed opera and music theater before dedicating his talents to filmmaking. His influences include early Wes Craven and John Waters, Tobe Hooper, Rob Zombie, and Italian horror (Argento, Bava, Fulci, Deodato).

Multiple-award-winning Executive Editor Spencer Schilly also edited RuPaul’s “jaw-droppingly crude” new comedy Starrbooty, which has made the rounds at NewFest, Frameline, Outfest, and PIGLFF, among other gay film festivals.

All the music in the film is performed by the filmmakers and their associates-including T. S. Slaughter, who is a professional string player-and most of it is brand new. In fact, much of the music was composed specifically for “Skull & Bones,” notably the punk songs you’ll hear. Some, though, comes with permission from a new Swedish Hip-hop CD.

The baroque music you hear in various scenes features the haunting bass stringed instrument the viola da gamba playing funeral and other elegiac music composed around 1700 at the court of Louis XIV. On other occasions the viola da gamba teams up with baroque violin and harpsichord.

The snakes and tarantula used in the final torture sequence are real. The yellow snake with the red eyes is a ten-foot Albino Burmese python; the others are eight-foot Brazilian carpet snakes and a baby boa constrictor.

The DVD is available both online and at selected retail outlets in New York City.

I would be happy to send you a complimentary FINAL CUT screener asap-just let me know (and please provide a mailing address).

We are a small, self-financed film company just trying to get the word out about our queer horror to interested gay men.

Sincerely,

Paul Serrano, Producer
“Skull & Bones – A Tale of Homo-cidal Mania”

As long as I’ve been reading your blog, I don’t recall ever seeing a reference to your location. I’d love to know. Dirk, where ’bouts do you live? Or as they say around here, Where you stay at?
General location is good enough. City? State? Province? Time zone? Latitude?
email me, darling.

Wow. I found your blog as the source for a “pup” hood image on the Goog. Yeah, 500 people and 50 “pups” at the IML party is a bit much, but I’m glad it creeped you out; nice to know my core fetish still packs some pariah value after 20 years. Your name is familiar; are you famous? Wicked awesome writing, I’ll probably read more. Best woofs to you (he he).

awesome. stumbled on your blog by accident. there are no accidents. Your mind is a scary freakin’ place. thanks.

Dirky, I’m a slacker housewife and part time general contractor (we’re renovating the house known as Oleo Acres ‘cuz it’s a cheap spread). I referree fights between Mexican tile workers and redneck sheet rock guys, argue with the electrical inspector and buy shoes on Zappos. I love. love your blog! I stumbled across it while looking for a particular type of clothes hanger online. The hanger wasn’t named Mancuso but your crap is much better. I sometimes watch Y&R, I love your summaries. One question: why Karen chicken adobo? I share your repulsion of Lurch, by the way. She’s freakishly tall.

hey…

great space you have here and i must agree jack from Y&R is a big liar…

so, why do you cross out your name? don’t like mancuso?

Love your blog. Would you be interested in submitting any of your writing out website? I think you’re hilarious. Especially the Lola stories.
