"Few creatures of the night have captured our imagination like vampires.
What explains our enduring fascination with vampires? Is it the overtones of sexual lust, power, control? Or is it a fascination with the immortality of the undead?"

Feel free to post any vampire-related content here. I'll be posting various vampire media I enjoy just as a way of kickstarting this community but don't let that stop you from posting something else. I just wanted a place to discuss vampire movies, books, games, etc.

Nope, it's all learning what looks good on you and what's comfortable enough that you feel and act naturally. Clothes in the first world are so cheap as to be laughable. I've had to ask my wife to stop bringing home kick ass clothes for me. "It was only $1!"

Only items I'll spend $10 on are maybe shoes and maybe pants. OK, I have two tuxedos, $110 on Amazon. One for my wedding and another for I forget what, but I'll have those forever.

Posted this before, in response to people saying fashion costs money or is uncomfortable. Top, $2. Vest, $2. Pants, $4. Watch, $2. Necklace, homemade from scraps. You get the idea. (And BTW, the top and vest were from the women's section of the thrift.)

How does one learn what looks good in them, if they have no reflection?

They got a glass mirror instead of a silver one.

Well that's fucking brilliant. I never considered vampires vs. silver vs. silver nitrate glass before. ๐Ÿซจ I feel this deserves a short story, no idea where to start. Anyone got Neil Gaiman's cell number?

He's definitely not up to much these days, at least professionally.

Vampire? Gotta use 2 mirrors. Do NOT use 3 or more in a circle or you may get trapped.

Your wife is a lucky woman, sir
