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
