The Whole Shebang Minute 51: A Goth Meet-Cute

In Minute 51 of The Whole Shebang, Jenny and Mike look at the kind of gothic first date which Mandy and Brian take on a cold New Year’s Eve, the Apollonian symbology of the goth raven, and then Mike conclusively links Brian Slade to the immortal legend of the Highgate Vampire. And then we get into our own “goth meet-cute” (really more of a “nerd meet-cute”) on teh Livejournals, how our first two guest hosts were instrumental in our long-distance courtship, and how Immigration forced us to have a quickie wedding in the middle of the winter, much like Mandy and Brian. Then we finally get to the Brian/Mandy sex scene and our, er, inspirational sex scenes of adolescent yesteryear, including Jenny’s favorite in Nicolas Roeg’s Performance and the rumors about unsimulated sex between Mick Jagger and Anita Pallenberg, our favorite adolescent-years softcore porn on Skinemax and Channel 4, Jenny’s love of the ironic camp of Channel 4’s Eurotrash, and Mike’s love of HBO’s Real Sex, the much more sincere American equivalent.
