Female Vampires...a latex love story

[Hepcat]

Cool work!

Raymond, hate to nudge you (nudge, as from the Yiddish for "to ride" or "to annoy") -- but contrary to your feeling that a potential Topstone book would have to contain a sufficient amount of historical data to justify itself, your wonderful images bring out an intrinsic beauty about these masks & so are more than enough justification for a book (or something) in their own right. So, you see, you are really militating against your own best interests!

Female Vampires...a latex love story. When I saw that title I thought, oh jeez Ray found those pics from that one crazy weekend when i was in college! Whew was I glad to see it was just pics of Topstone female Vampires!

It's a love story alright - I'm wearing latex as I speak and I'm in love with both of them!

I have horrible visions right now.

All we need is Ingrid Pitt and...sweet memories of childhood!   

I think it was Ingrid and Yutte Stensgaard that finally convinced me not all girls were icky!

Simply beautiful, Ray... is that Perry Como i hear singing softly in the background?

In case I forgot to mention, both these masks were foamed by Dante Renta.  Kelly Mann painted the eye inserts in the, um, more "sophisticated" Female Vampire.

When I put the two together for what was going to be just a standard comparison photo, I was struck by how one looked manipulative and scheming while the other looked innocent and naive.

I wanted to see if I could tell a dramatic story using a few still photos of two simplistic, inanimate heads against an empty background.  They are so much more cooperative than living actors.  For future cinematic endeavors, I should try using dead actors.  Then I can just pose them however I want.
