Television show: Demons

There is just something about vampires and other such creatures of the night that everyone wants to see. Dracula, the Werewolf, Frankenstein, and on and on for over a century now. It's a theme we all seem to never tire of.

The BBC recognizes this of course. They constantly have television shows that either focus on this theme or include it. And in 2010 they will be debuting yet another show firmly ensconced in the otherworldly.



Demons will preimere right after Dr. Who finishes The End of Time pt 2 and introduces the new, geeky kid as the Doctor. I'm sure more than a few fans will want a distraction from the end of David Tennant's tenure as the Doctor. This new show seems to fit the bill.

Now I always tend to enjoy European depictions of vampires, lycanthropes and such. There is just a flair that seems to be added that probably comes from the centuries of rumor and mystery on the subject. Whatever the reason, I just enjoy Eurpoean, and especially British versions more.

The storyline is pretty basic though. The last of the Van Helsin's is needed (likely because some aspect of a secret base or weapon requires the bloodline) by a modern day secret society of vampire hunters. The stories we have grown up with are all true and more. Thrust suddenly into this other world within our own is a young man that has to learn quickly what is going on.

Obviously there will be the battle-hard veteran that will watch his back. There will be no end of baddies that will be seeking him out to kill him so they will be safe to graze upon humanity forever without fear. There will be a love interest that is questionable in loyalties (a young looking vampiress) and unattainable of course. And the young man will grow into his role of the hero that never knew he could be.

Still as rote as some of the background seems to be, and as oriented in the youth culture as it is, the show seems to have potential. The CGI effects and make-up look good. The styling of the show mixes modern and old goth well. There is a dark feel while obviously employing some action too. In a way it reminds me of the style of Torchwood in it's early episodes.

This will not be a Buffy the Vampire or Angel type show. At least not at it's beginning. Which bodes well for the program. And I hope it does not fall into the trap of Twillight. If it can avoid these pop fads there amy be a show that will really take off.

The question I am left with is how long will it be before some American television (probably cable if we are lucky) network takes the idea and copies it? With shows like Santuary, Supernatural, and so on all the craze these days and with copies of Brit shows (Leverage, The Office, Life on Mars, ect.) the new in thing on American television you just have to imagine that this too will be copied. One can only hope that the American version is closer to the Office copy than say the failed near-verbatim yet highly flawed Coupling version.

Ultimately only time will tell how well this develops. And until then American television fans will try to enjoy David Tennant in his new show about a lawyer that doesn't do trials. It's a comedy, and honestly sounds to bland for American tastes. American shows about lawyers are so focused on trials and law these days I'm not sure if this show will work. Maybe if it's more akin to Night Court or Ally McBeal than say The Practice or Law & Order (given they are dramas).

But back to the point at hand. Do you think the supernatural shows are overdone? Have you seen your fill of vampires and goblins? Do you want the ghosts and inhuman creatures to be banished to television void or are you looking forward to another try at it? What do you think and will you check this show out?

For your Black Friday online shopping consideration

I hope that all of my readers and their family and friends have had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I sincerely would like to believe that no one was without a meal or friends at least for that day.

Friday is of course an entirely different subject. It is a day dedicated to shopping, sales, and getting that one item someone you know will love. It is Black Friday, when retail store pray to be overrun, and shoppers deal with congestion the likes of which they would avoid at any other time of the year.

I realize that every mega-chain, local mom and pop, and online store is competing for your attention today. And I admit I too would like to have you purchase some of my products.

I can't offer television ads, or celebrities hawking my goods. I can't offer discounts that come from being a billion dollar corporation. Nor will I present inferior goods with prices so low you have to question which truck they fell off of.

All I will ask is that my readers, and anyone they would be kind enough to refer, check out Alchemy at World of Vass and World of Vass.

Black Friday 2009

It's that time of year again. Since Halloween every department store and retailer has gone full blast on getting the Christmas decorations up. Already there are discounts of incredible proportions being offered for cars and men's suits and so on.

The internet has equally gone crazy. I've gotten more spam in the past 2 weeks than in the months prior combine. Everyone want you to buy something, now!

Well I want you to buy something too. At least I'm honest enough to not try to slam it down your throat or hide it behind some kind of jingle. But like ever other retailer the economy has made life difficult for me as well. So I appreciate if you you check out my online stores.

The Alchemy at World of Vass online store features authentic English Pewter and Swarovski Crystal items that are imported direct from England. Virtually every item is hand-crafted. The workmanship is of the highest quality.

This store features earrings, pendants, shot glasses, goblets, skulls, wall decorations (flags), bracelets, rings, cell phone charms, t-shirts, sweatshirts, and more. There is something for people who love the goth style, dragons, faries, alchemy, the middle ages, vampires, werewolves, the unique and the original. There are items for men and women.

Suffice to say that I think most anyone will find at least one item that they will like and want for themselves or for someone they care about.

The World of Vass online store is filled with over 1000 items. You can find cooking aprons, teddy bears, coffee mugs, beer steins, mouse pads, calendars, postcards, t-shirts, sweatshirts, jewlry boxes, even underwear and far more.

Every item offered at World of Vass is a unique creation of M V Consultng, Inc. You can't find these designs in any store in the world, just at my online store. We have over 20 separate designs - some funny, sexy, political, or just interesting. There are designs for men and women. There are designs specific for Whites, Blacks , Hispanics and completely nuetral.

If you can't find something for someone you know, or yourself, then you are far richer than most (so buy something anyway - call it a donation to all my work). Honestly, I think that everyone can find something they will enjoy at the store.

No matter which store you choose (or both) I can guarantee several things:

I personally own several of the items that are on sale, and thus can stand behind the quality (you may have even seen me with various items in my video commentaries and photo shoots).

You get what you are buying. There are no imitations.

Speedy delivery. No need to go out and face the hordes fighting over a sale item that you don't really. It will be delivered to your door.

Your information is private. No one will ever get your information from M V Consulting, Inc.

Ok, I won't go on. But I do appreciate every visitor to my blogs and my stores. Your support is vital to me, because without you I'm just writing in the dark. So I thank you for reading this, and if you elect in checking out my stores.

And if you do like what you find, please do pass on the word.

Thank you. And now back to the real reason you are here.

There's still time

Just a quick reminder that there is still time to get a stylish and unique addition to your Halloween costume from Alchemy at World of Vass.

Of course you don't have to be just looking for an addition to the perfect look on Halloween to visit the store. With the addition of T-shirts (for men and women), as well as ciggerette cases, lighters, earrings, pendants, goblets, rings, shot glasses, cell phone chains and bracelets there is something for any occasion and everyone.

But that's not all. Soon we will be adding even more T-shirt selections, flags, posters, belt buckles, handbags, purses, wallets, flasks, cuff links, and more.

Whether you are goth or just a person that likes fine quality, authentic English Pewter, Swarovski crystals or something just a bit different, Alchemy at World of Vass has something I'm sure you will enjoy.

Thank you for your support. It is appreciated.

Michael Vass

I'm so genteel if I weren't Black I'd be Southern

Catchy title no? Inspiration for my latest t-shirt design literally came out of a comment I made with several friends at a party not long ago.

Off the cuff, I hit everyone with this little phrase. As you might expect it floored everyone. We were all laughing for several minutes, and since it's become a bit of a catch phrase among us all. So I though I might share the humor with all my readers.



It's not political, or serious, in any way. It's just funny. I hope you enjoy it as well as all the other unique fashionable clothing designs that can be found at World of Vass. There is something for everyone, just check it out and see for yourself.

While you're at it, check out the Alchemy of England products at Alchemy at World Of Vass. It's a collection of fine English pewter and Swarovski crystal rings, pendants, flags, cigarette cases, earrings and other accesories that is perfect for Halloween, Goth, emo, and just people that are into fine quality.

An update from Michael Vass

Ah yes I have been busy. With the upcoming 6 month anniversary of the shooting in Binghamton NY, plus the holiday season starting with Halloween, there has been much to do.

With regard to the shooting, I plan to review what has changed for the average person in Binghamton, and what has not. While many want to forget what has happened I believe in the adage

"Those that forget history are doomed to repeat it."

On happier news, there is Halloween. As you may recall I recently made available purchase of Alchemy of England products. These are high quality, hand-crafted, English Pewtewr and Swarovski crystal products imported directly from England.

While many consider these goods only something for the halloween holiday, as an addition to a costume, or something only for those into the Goth lifestyle I believe otherwise. These are products that anyone can enjoy and appreciate.

I believe that the selection of Alchemy products are something that people in every style of life can engage with. Whether its a ciggarette or lighter case, a flask, a goblet, earrings, pendants, whatever. Age is not the factor, expressing your own style is.

So far I have provided Earrings, Pendants Necklaces and Chokers, Ciggarette cases and Lighter cases, Goblets, Chalises, Drinking and Wine Glasses, Cellphone chains, and Rings. Next to be added are T-shirts, Bracelets, Flasks, Buckles, and Walking Canes. But there is even more than that to come.



Already the response has been wonderful. To that end, I have created a separate site (in addition to providing direct purchases via this site) just for the Alchemy line of products - http://www.alchemy.vassconsult.com/.

Please feel free to take a look, give me your thoughts, tell your friends, and to make a purchase. I use Paypal for all purchases to help ensure your protection in any transaction - and there is no limit or requirement on the size of your order.

Your support is always appreciated.
