I'm Taking A Break From Sugar & Spice!

I had wanted to do this post to celebrate one of my favorite holidays, Halloween. I don't have a lot to celebrate right now. My computer died last night. I'm using my cousin's computer to write this message. I don't know what I'm going to do. I'm going to see if my laptop can be fixed inexpensively. If not, I'm going to have to get a new one before I start back in college the first of the year. I really didn't need this new expense. I'm not going to be able to be online much right now since I don't have my own computer. I'm going to have to take a break from the blogging world. This will be my last post for right now. I'm not going to be able to check out your blogs either for awhile. I'm so sorry about everything. I'll miss you guys so much. I'm hoping to be back as soon as I can. Take care. I wish you all the best.

These images are from the Jess Franco film Eugenie de Sade. This early 70's film starred the late actress Soledad Miranda. Soledad was born in Spain to Portuguese parents. She starred in quite a few films for Franco before her untimely death at the young age of 27. This particular film is about a young woman who begins a love affair with her stepfather, an erotic writer, played by Paul Muller. This affair leads them to commit murder. It's actually one of my favorite films by Jess Franco. Enjoy these photos of the stunning Soledad Miranda. She is still sorely missed by so many of us.



























Here's a song from the film.

Soledad Miranda Plays A Sexy & Sadistic Killer

Eugenie de Sade is a 1970 film by Jess Franco that starred Soledad Miranda. Eugenie, played by Soledad, begins a sexual relationship with her stepfather. The two also commit a series of erotic murders preying mostly on young and beautiful women. Things hit a snag when Eugenie falls in love with their next target, a jazz musician named Paul.












P.S. This blog received the Sugar Doll award from the the wonderful blog Melanie's Randomness. Thanks. I appreciate it so much.

Soledad Miranda's Got A Gun

I told my girlfriend that this guy was giving me some trouble at work. She decided to take matters into her own hands. I had no idea this is what she meant.



Seriously though. That's Soledad Miranda in the 1971 Jess Franco film The Devil Came From Akasava. She's credited in the film as Susann Korda. This movie could be considered to be a Franco contribution to Euro-Spy genre. A certain stone is discovered that can turn metal into gold, but also has the effect of turning humans into zombies. It seems everybody wants this stone. Secret agents are sent in on a mission to retrieve it. This is actually one of my favorite Jess Franco films. It's got all the hallmarks of a Franco film that his fans love and his critics hate. The sexy beauty of Soledad Miranda is on full display here. I could watch that women for hours and hours. Tragically she was killed in a car accident soon after filming was completed on this film.

Check out the trailer to get a better idea of what this movie is all about:

Soledad Miranda Kills In Ecstasy

One of my favorite films from Jess Franco is She Killed in Ecstasy. It starred the incredibly beautiful Soledad Miranda. The termination of a doctor's project causes him to commit suicide. His wife, played by Soledad, takes her revenge on those responsible for the termination. She seduces them and then kills them. I want to actually do a review of this film in the future. For the time being, however, I'm posting this DVD cover and clip from the film. I really love the trippy music in this clip.

Favorite Album Covers: Vampyros Lesbos Sexadelic Dance Party

I thought I would post some of my favorite albums. It doesn't get much better from the cover for the Jess Franco film Vampyros Lesbos. The album cover features a very sexy picture of the star of the film, none other than the incredibly beautiful Soledad Miranda. Besides the gorgeous women, one of the highlights of a Franco film is the awesome music. I really love the tunes on this album. They are cool and catchy. They've definitely got a good beat that stays in your head for days after listening to it.



I'm also posting a video that features clips from Vampyros Lesbos as well as the song The Lions and the Cucumber. I love that song. I hope you enjoy this video clip. Cheers!

Soledad Miranda: A Life & Career Cut Way Too Short

Soledad Miranda was the star of numerous cult films by Jess Franco in Spain. Her credits include such films as Count Dracula, Eugenie de Sade, Vampyros Lesbos, She Killed in Ecstasy, and The Devil Came From Akasava. She's one of my favorite actresses from the films of Jess Franco. I definitely will cover some of her films in the future. She was beautiful, but she had something beyond that. There was this seductive quality about her that could bewitch someone. Unfortunately her life and career were cut way too short. Soledad was killed in a car accident on August 18, 1970. We can only imagine what she would have accomplished if she had not died so young. I thought this Halloween season was the perfect time to honor Soledad. I light a candle and raise a toast of wine to her memory.
