Amelia G and Forrest Black are best known for founding Blue Blood, the seminal
magazine of counterculture erotica. The creation of Blue Blood confronted the bland
mainstream ideas of what was generally accepted as attractive and sexy. This
activist publication was the first to put forth real people with colorful hair,
tattoos, and other creative body modifications, as powerfully erotic and
beautiful. Blue Blood broke the ground very successfully for the alternaporn
explosion by being the first publication dedicated to exploring cool subcultural
erotica and sexuality and has inspired the proliferation of gothic, punk, and other
hip subculture oriented erotica sites on the net today.
In addition to BarelyEvil.com, the Blue Blood crew also
brings us the spooky niche-leader GothicSluts.com, which features all
of the top models in gothic fetish and erotic photography. If a girl
is a name model in the field, chances are Forrest Black and Amelia G
helped her achieve that name. As you can see, BarelyEvil.com focuses on
the fun side of subcultural erotica. Crossing subcultures from gothic
to punk to rave to entirely undecided, BarelyEvil.com features creative
pictorials of devil girls, strange insertions, and other good party tricks.
The beautiful groundbreaking photography Forrest Black and Amelia G shoot as a
team has been published all over the world by such diverse publishers as
Playboy, Penthouse, Skin Two, Marquis, Gothic Beauty, Tattoo Savage, Ghastly, Permission, New Grave,
Alternative Press, On Our Backs, Women in Power, Fetish, Taboo, Secret, Barely Legal,
Dirty, Chic, Leg World, AVN, MTV, and many many more.
Amelia G's erotic writing has appeared in such anthologies as Best American
Erotica, Best Women's Erotica, and Best SM Erotica. Forrest Black has lent his
web design skills to design and creation of signature websites for many of the
coolest and most popular recording artists with an online presence. Although
Blue Blood in print had massive distribution for its genre, the internet
provides a wonderful opportunity to go directly to an even larger number of the
people who care. And besides, we get to run tens of thousands of hot pictures of
our great models.
