Mainstream Models with Pseudonyms........
Since I photograph a lot of goth models, I am constantly amused by their pseudonyms. It's all very funny to me. I once met a guy with some website that was some silly "www" about Satan. And I laughed when he gave me his business card and said, "That's cute." He got really insulted and indignant. I didn't know how else to react. I mean ... it was cute. Almost amusing. Cheeky. I thought it was funny. How did he expect me to react? I mean, it was cheesy as hell. When a guy wearing nailpolish hands you a card with a Satan reference in the URL, how do you not laugh? So, I got to thinking, what if some legitimate mainstream models adopted gothic pseudonyms? I went to one of those "Goth Name Generators" online and this is what it gave me: Cindy Crawford = Vicious Mistress Elle MacPherson = Vicious Tongue Kate Moss = Beautifully Decayed Helena Christensen = Velvet Kisses Christy Turlington = Beautiful Scars Stephanie Seymour = Midnight Fantasy (you bet your ass she is...) and my favorite - Tyra Banks = Mummified Corpse Jun 10 05 08:46 pm Link I have a friend who's horse is named Velvet Kisses. Damn horse is worth more than all my equipment, including my computer and my car, combined. Jun 10 05 09:11 pm Link hey, those are all my girlfriends! (except for cindy, er vicious) Jun 10 05 09:16 pm Link I had a pseudonym once... I had a few bands. "Angell of Death" (yes, 2 l's). I sang... I was Nikki Angell. When that died we bacame "Agnostic Death". Then "Strider and the 2 of Hearts"... that band kicked ass - we only sang love songs with ridiculous titles like "Electric Girlfriend", and "I am the Pheonix". Fucking great times. I don't get to be Nikki Angell anymore. Except when I get lost at the Wal-Mart. My girl has them page Nikki Angell... then she doesn't have to be embarassed at them calling my real name over the intercom. Jun 10 05 09:19 pm Link hehehehe this thread makes me laugh at my own..."name" Jun 10 05 11:29 pm Link "Mummified Corpse" is the best, although it might be slightly more appropriate for Kate Moss or one of the other waif types. I think I need more pretentious pseudonym. This one might be too obscure. Maybe I'll have a contest with fabulous prizes like those porceline dogs they used to have on Wheel of Fortune. Jun 10 05 11:36 pm Link Posted by theda: You got to be kidding...... Jun 10 05 11:39 pm Link I've always assumed I was the only person online who didn't have a pseudonym, actually! Jun 10 05 11:49 pm Link darn it theda...it is too obscure. at least 1% of people know what lapis lazuli is....or maybe I am just being an idiot again. Jun 11 05 12:23 am Link ummm, my real first and middle names are Star Rae backwards that's rats ear if I had a pseudonim it would be Cindy Walters that's goth right? Jun 11 05 01:17 am Link Awww Heck!! Whats in a name anyway (:--- Jun 11 05 01:46 am Link Posted by Star: Okay. That is one of the funniest things I've read on any of these forums. Jun 11 05 02:58 am Link I gotta find this goth name generator. I wonder what my name would be... Probably "Evil Bitch"...but that's a given.  Sun Karma (my real name is Sundari Karma Prasad...so yes, its a shortened version of the lengthy one..-smile) Jun 11 05 07:48 am Link Posted by Hugh Jorgen ©: Nomen est Omen. Jun 11 05 08:01 am Link I took my modeling name from my stage name. I used to do alot of cirkus sideshow stuff and with the cirkus stuff we all have silly names. When I was performing I was known as... Nurse Hel Inferna the Molotov Cock-doll This razor blade swallowing, fire swinging, nails-through-flesh pounding side show temptress will even make you balloon animals hehe  Jun 11 05 08:01 am Link Double post deleted Jun 11 05 08:02 am Link Posted by Sun Karma: Such a beautiful name for a gorgeous woman! Jun 11 05 08:05 am Link Posted by Hel Inferna: I love it when you make my animal balloon ... Wait. That came out wrong ... Jun 11 05 10:47 am Link "Theda" obscure? No way!!! Theda was a goddess and one of the sexiest most sexual women ever and if I had lived in her time I would have done anything in my power to marry her!!! Posted by theda: Jun 11 05 01:56 pm Link Some of the most beautiful (and longest) names are Hindi :-) Posted by Sun Karma: Jun 11 05 01:59 pm Link My initials before I got married actually spelled out the word RAG. I'm not sure what my pseudonym would be now, but when I was younger, my nickname was Rebel Ann...it fit very well. Jun 11 05 02:03 pm Link You know, I always thought she was kind of funny looking. I've seen her only extant film and it really wasn't that impressive. The marketing of her pseudo-image was a lot more sensual and interesting than the woman herself. Still, many people have no idea who she was. Posted by Carlos Arturo Velarde: Jun 11 05 05:26 pm Link yes, I just went and read about her as I needed to fill that gap in my knowledge. You are such a vamp theda! Jun 11 05 05:29 pm Link I just had to change the topic momentarily and say that I love pseudonyms....my most recently created ones are Art Fetish (my boyfriend insists I call him that now) and Phillip Lander. anyway, i love pseudonyms. mainstream or not, especially if they are double entedre'...want to write a novel where everybody's names are like the above. So, if anybody has any kind of pseudonymic info, send me an e-mail. Jun 11 05 05:33 pm Link Posted by Eric Muss-Barnes: Posted by Hel Inferna: I love it when you make my animal balloon ... Wait. That came out wrong ... I was making balloon animals earlier today, although it was for my daughters birthday party... a bit different then what you were referring to I think Jun 12 05 03:11 am Link LOL...Mine said "DEMENTED WHORE". Oh, what a riot! I LOVE IT! That is my new goth name.I'm adopting it as of today. DM (which also stands for depeche mode, so hell, I'm loving it twice) Another generator was funny, it said: GothGrrl, the Tattooed Freak of the Moon Quite true as well. How fun! Jun 12 05 09:21 am Link Posted by Eric Muss-Barnes: I will add. Jun 12 05 11:11 am Link You know it's crazy, Ive actually been looked at odd cause I didn't make one up. they go down thir list of blood sucking cindys and get to me and stop dead... no pun intended. Jun 12 05 03:32 pm Link ok eric, I just did it, so now you know me as Satanist Bitch. Thank you. Have a nice day. Satanist Bitch Jun 12 05 03:40 pm Link But in photography, image is the only reality there is :-) Posted by theda: Posted by Carlos Arturo Velarde: Jun 15 05 09:57 am Link lapis, your name means "pencil" in my language. but i guess being named after a sapphire stone doesn't hurt either... Posted by Lapis: Jun 15 05 10:17 am Link Yeah, pseudonyms are silly. =] Jun 15 05 03:13 pm Link My pseudonym is "Cheesy Chink..." Hmm... I wonder what that means... Jun 15 05 03:37 pm Link You know I was wondering why you suddenly changed your name to "Chinky" on OMP... =] Jun 15 05 09:33 pm Link Posted by Reese: You're quite the CILF. (That's a chink-version of a MILF.) Jun 15 05 10:33 pm Link My moniker is an oxy-moron bestowed upon me and I rather like it. It also helps in keeping with the gredge of models networking in cyber that are truly deserving of the title! Jun 16 05 12:48 am Link Wouldn't that be "lapiz"?
