First Official Munster Style Pin-Up Model

We had our first serious model submissions for Munster Style Magazine yesterday by Becky Lee of her stunning photo set shot by the Husband & Wife photo team known as Zombie Crush. The style and angles of this set are outstanding and we feel lucky to have them in Munster Style! You may remember seeing Becky Lee as the Flag Girl - Veronika Lakester in our latest Rat Rod Rockers! trailer and drag race footage that we recently posted on You Tube. Becky is also a Pin-Up Angel and even helped out last year at out Hot Rod Monsters Film Festival.

Birth Of Munster Style Magazine

Decided to get serious about starting Munster Style this week. We have a meeting of Friday with potential staff and writers to set the ground work. I started soliciting submissions and already have half dozen interviews set, people working on music features, burlesque features, movie interviews and paranormal articles. People seem excited. I want Munster Style not to be a regular magazine, but thrice yearly kustom kulture periodical, more than 200 pages in length. Very few ads (only for submitters as barter for their work). This can work with short run publishers and direct sales and subscriptions. Munster Style will be full glossy and as pristine a publication as we can make it. Shooting for a May 1st 2010 first issue release. That might be hopeful, but at this point who knows.

Hot Rod Girls Save The World Special Features DVD

Doing more work on the Special Features disc for the Hot Rod Girls Save The World (Kustom Edition) DVD. This disc was supposed to come out in November-December before Christmas but because Rat Rod Rockers! ran extra long for the filming, I couldn't get to it unto last month. I have most clips organized and the few that are left will be done by this weekend. I want to send the master disc into the pressing plant by Monday. Self imposed deadline. The current clip I am editing is about the Intergalactic Muscle Cars seen in the forthcoming Memories Of Planet Earth movie. I build these cars to be scanned into the computer and converted to 3D CGI images.

Hot Rod Girls Save The World More Screens For DVD

This Special Features disc has been one of the most difficult DVD authoring projects I have yet attempted. I want to make sure I get as much interesting facts and information on the disc as possible, so I don't have to go back and redo it in a few years. besides adding a brief town history for Anywhere, Washington, I was able to add zoom features to the Anywhere map page. It's a bit wonky, but works. Strange how much different DVD code reacts than html code.

Also got a call from my mechanic- blown head gasket on the Ford Escort. $1,100! Nursed it home and parked it. Maybe next month. The GMC Van (aka Big Bertha) has been leaking coolant like a sive. I think I located the leak source, but don't have the tools to get under the van and over the transmission, where the secondary heater hoses run to the second heating unit (it is a big big van). I will have my mechanic look tomorrow. I have been able to keep it from overheating (like it did a few nights back when I was trying to go to EMP for a friends screening), by filling the radiator directly (not the overflow box) before I run it. It takes about half a gallon each time! This gives me enough run time to take the kids to school and get back without overheating.

To top it off yesterday I was in a hurry to pick up my son. A little putt putt car cut me off and so I tried to go around. I could not get back into the turn lane so I bolt ahead of the line and was able to quick cut two lanes into the turn lane. But guess who I cut in front of (not dangerously close- just abruptly). An undercover Police SUV! The Officer comes up to the van and says, "Any weapons in that rig?" Trying to be funny I say, "Not today Officer." Then he says, "Well do you have a concealed weapons permit for when you do?" I told the Officer I was joking and he took my license- but I couldn't find my insurance card! I gave him All States number, but he couldn't get the info on the Police Car phone so he wrote me a "No Insurance Ticket"! $500! So now I have to go to court and show my little card, waste my afternoon, and still have to pay $150 of the $500 fine. When it rains it pours people.
