Unbuckling the Bible Belt
by Darian Darqly
Hello darqlings! We’re here! Darqpress has finally arrived, now all your dark little dreams can come true. The site was officially “birthed” on February, 25, 2009 – Ash Wednesday (Headquartered in the buckle of the Bible belt)! Can you believe it? Total coincidence on our part, but perhaps it’s an omen. A sign that the end is near, maybe?
While the Christian world was washing away the decadence from partying their asses off the night before (Fat Tuesday) and swearing off fun for the next forty days, we were introducing a whole new world of decadence and excess to rub their noses in and to intice you all! (Cue sinister music, thunder and lightning, menacing laughter) Mu-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
We are already meeting with disdain from the religious right and moral gistapo in our area, “Thank you Jesus!” We must be doing something right. An elderly couple of do-gooders stopped on their way to church when they saw us doing a photo shoot yesterday to harrass us on a public street. Truth be known, they just wanted to see the cute girls in fishnets or the hot tattooed boy with his shirt off – God knows that’s why I was there! Even when we were leaving the old guy was calling us back, yelling “so what kind of magazine could you possibly be taking pictures like this for – you with your holes in your faces (those are called piercings), your colored hair and dressed like that?” (We hadn’t even brought out the chains yet!)
I think the old bastard just wanted to check out the pics later when his wife wasn’t with him. They took our license plate numbers and started calling business owners on the street to scare us. When we moved to our next spot, they actually called the police and told them we were vandals. God would be so proud. When “Evil” isn’t breaking any laws, lie and say it is because justice must be served!! “Good” will prevail even if it has to be bad to do so! When the cop arrived, he was like “oh, you guys are just taking pictures, somebody told me you were breaking in and vandalizing places. Carry on.” Score 1 for the “bad” guys.
Moral of the story darqlings: To the old coot with all the pent up sexual aggression, we forgive you, it’s in our nature and it’s what Jesus would do, right? ..But it’s also in our nature to blow you kisses and a big, “FUCK YOU!!” And to the PD, thanks for protecting and serving this time. And thanks to all you sickos who drove by honking your horns and showing some love for the darq arts!

Considering the location of the shoot, I was tempted to let him call the police, we were on a public street,and there were no visible logo’s or signs anywhere, but it was our first time working with one of the models, so I thought it better to move on. As mentioned above, the police showed up anyways, down the street, and didn’t care at all that we were photographing.
not to get too nasty but i feel sorry for the old dudes wife. she’s probably never known an orgasm. but that’s religion for you.
astonishingly enough that sort of thing happens here in nola as well ….. although the crowd here is more prone to trying to get your camera and cash or autograph before they call the cops …….
