About Barbie



Hello..

I am 24 years old living in the Southernmost tip of Texas, I am a sanguine vampire awakened since the age of 12, or 6th grade. I am the co-editor of the Vampire Church Newsletter, and have been actively involved with the Vampire Church since August of 2000. I was made council in October of 2001 and have been working with the Newsletter since then. I am the Managing Director of the Texas Vampire Association which is headed by Damien Daville. I began in that role a few months ago and have seen it grow. I do not spend much time in the offline community due to the relative remoteness of where I live however, I do try to keep contact with other vampires in my area.

Question: With the exposure from 'Vampires Among Us,' do you find the sudden influx of interest still confused as to the Vampire Church's primary mission?

Hello all!

Although I didn't get to see the interview itself, I will say that I thought that the introduction/summarization of the show on the TLC website was totally inappropriate, as it already puts us in the spotlight of being murderers, and criminals, however, I believe that TLC having interviewed Damien, is a step in a better direction than perhaps what was written about us in the introduction.

As to the sudden influx, well it usually happens in waves. There is interest, then there is none for a while, only to peak again. Whether it's about Hallowe'en being near, a new cool vampire movie being out, or whatever. I think that once the novelty of wanting to be a vampire wears off, after seeing what it really is, most who are detrimental to the community back away. As the truth is so much more boring than the myths. And educating people as to what real vampirism is, is our mission :)

Eternal,
Barbie
