Pride comes in many forms. As a father of two remarkable children, I’ve been fortunate to share in so many astonishing and proud moments in my kids’ still-young lives, and can only imagine the things yet to come as my children continue to grow and learn and inspire. To watch one’s children grow and develop into genuinely good, self-confident men and women should be an experience with which all parents should be graced, and I am quite certain that Bubs and MizBubs are beaming with pride as their eldest embarks on her career as a horror-movie makeup artist. I truly, truly mean that in a very good way.

That being said, why oh why am I not at all surprised here…? Seriously, to anyone who knows Bubs now, or ever knew Bubs, say, 30 years ago, it should come as no surprise that his progeny is following in the footsteps of dear old Dad’s love of the horror genre. Not that there’s anything wrong with this at all, mind you, but it certainly is no surprise!

Anyway, for what it’s worth, here’s my bit to promote one half of the O’Sullivan girlies’ attempt to win fame and fortune in Hollywood as the next Fangoria Spooksmodel, and to maybe pick up a marker from Bubs for some free drinks someday. You never know when that will come in handy.

So, as they say in Philadelphia, vote early and vote often, You know, deep down in your heart, that Nurse Nora is the best of the best.

Horror’s Girl Next Door

Listen up, dear readers–our eldest Nora is a semifinalist in the Fangoria Spooksmodel contest and she needs your help!Nora is competing against quite a few professional models with some pretty slick photo spreads. A few of the girls (and I mean this with no disrespect whatsoever) look like budding alt-porn starlets, and they show a bit of skin. Nora, on the other hand, is the wholesome girl-next-door of horror. Proof that gore-soaked splatter movies are really good old-fashioned family fun. That’s our girl. The top 13 contestants get to go to the finals in Los Angeles. And, as a maniacal stage father, I’m dying to take a trip to L.A.

So start voting. Click on this link here, and scroll down until you see Nora in her evil nurse costume. Here’s a special offer–anyone who features Nora on their blog will be the happy recipient of free alcoholic drinks the next time I see you in person. Promote Nora on your blog, and let Bubs help you get your drink on for free.
