It must be weird web site month. I’ve stumbled across a random, unrelated collection of strange and odd things, once again proving that, on the web at least, someone, somewhere is interested in them.

Haven’t had enough MONICA yet? If not, check out The Monica Lewinsky Online Fan Club at http://www.tarpleyweb.com/monifan. As you might expect, the jokes here are NOT in good taste, beginning with the mock-up of Cigar Aficionado magazine featuring cover blurbs like: “Monica Lewinsky, The President’s Humidor,” and “Bill Clinton: ‘It tastes good.’” This admittedly amateurish site also features links to doctored photos of Monica and Bill, a link to her old AOL profile, and other humorous things. From here, head over to http://206.147.214.85 to see the latest in Bill Clinton/Monica Lewinsky trading cards. This site showcases the clever set of 40 cards that chronicle the entire sordid and silly affair. These cards actually seem to be for sale.

Weirder yet, and maybe because Halloween is almost here, I stumbled across the most morbid site ever. At http://www.distefano.com/index.htm, you will find Corpses for Sale. Hopefully not real ones, but manufactured ones that are alarmingly realistic. “Fully articulated,” constructed of liquid latex and available with lights installed in the eye sockets, you could presumably decorate your porch for Halloween and scare the crap out of all your neighbors. You might want to lock it down though, because a corpse can cost you $550 . Corpses are custom made to order; configurable attributes include degree of decay, hair color, sex, and skin color. Or maybe you would prefer some body parts to strew about? Heads are $225, severed arms are $125, mummy heads are $225. Or you can just order a t-shirt (“Have a nice afterlife”) for $18.95. Also available is a booklet: How To Build a Corpse, Easy Step by Step Instruction Manual ($19.95). But the corpses must be seen to be believed.

This time of year, vampires are always of interest. The Vampire Femmes site (“Celebrating the Female Vampire”) at http://w3.nai.net/~rich96/images.html is mostly a gallery site, incluing photos of famous women doctored to have fangs. There’s also an FAQ, explaining the why’s of the site, poems and stories, reviews and links.

And last but not least, for those who follow such things, nerve.com, the “literate smut” site that launched about a year ago, has just published an anthology of collected writing and photographs, entitled “Nerve”. This nicely put together paperback book features articles and fiction from such smutty literary hipsters as Catherine Texier, Poppy Z. Brite, Lisa Carver, Quentin Crisp and Portland’s own Sally Tisdale, and just proves what we’ve suspected for some time: smut has become cool.

If you'd like to submit your site for review in Exotic Magazine, please send your request via email: xmag@teleport.com and make the subject "site submission."
