This interview originally appeared on the D'Ment'D Cinema site back on June 6, 2011 when my early incarnation of The Abandoned Mom and Pop Video Store was simply a side page called "Employee Picks".
It was with a kind, beautiful woman who the Web World knows as "Jfay". She is extremely talented at creating wearable scents and for a while she was hand making scented candles that were amazingly aromatic without being overpowering. And she had even designed one that was chocolate peppermint for the D'Ment'D Cinema site.
And had even designed and custom cherry cola
scented candle for my wife.
Now Jfay continues with her scent creations
along with hand made jewelry designs at her Internet Store
So let's use The VHS Time Rewinder and check out a interview with the artist known as Jfay.
Okay get ready,
Tonight the wick'd woman of wax and potions is in the D'Ment'D Cinema's
Abandoned Mom and Pop Video Store!
Jfay works in her
secret laboratory conjuring Wick'd Candles and Potions for all the
ghoulies to enjoy ~
I enter the
Abandoned Video Store as usual to get ready for tonight's interview only to
be greeted by hundreds of glowing candles.This couldonly mean one
thing my guest *Jfay* arrived before me!
I call out her
name and in a "Bewitched" type flash of flame Jfay
appears before
me. I thank her for being here and we sit amongst her creations to
talk.
Me : So how did all of
these get to be here tonight? I mean what was the inspiration for
making each one so different?
Jfay: It all came about
as I realized that I enjoyed mixing and blending colors and
aromas, and was also craving to do something more creative. It first began
with candle making.
I enjoyed
experimenting with contorting wax in all types of manners to come up with
different effects. My little wax victims
have been frozen, stabbed with hot
pokers, "bitten" by vampires, endured hot water torture, splashed
with "blood", and even put in chains. Any type of torturous effects
my little devious brain can come up with, along with the help of my
"always happy to participate" evil assistant, Coyote.
Currently I am
planning on putting some of my one of a kind designs in my very own
online Wax Museum coming soon. This idea
was inspired by my dear friend and
ghost hunter, "Donna Stewart" of *PSI of Oregon*.
Me: And I hear that
you have some other irons in the fire too.
Care to share?
Jfay: My newest venture
has been mixing up Wick'd Potions, which are actually very sinfully
delicious perfumes and fragrances.
My goal when
blending an aroma is to first and foremost make it
something very
unique. Sometimes they are very
mysterious, and
sometimes they
are just simply so scrumptious that they
would make any monster want to
nibble upon your neck! And I have
something for everyone --
Men's, Women's and Unisex Aromas are available. And they are bottled in
Wick'd Potion Bottles and Potion Necklaces. And you simply
MUST visit my Bloody Bordello of Vampire Potions It's where all the
Vampires come out to play! They are
fierce and may require a nibble
or two before sharing their favorite aromas with you!
I also have a new
line of candles that I'm working on called the Vampire Scent Collection.
They are fun little candles that the ghoulies can mix and match to
create their very own personal collection of their favorite vampy scents.
Some can also be paired with the same fragrances found in the Bloody
Bordello of Vampire Potions. Available
now are the Blood Line Candle,
Eternally Yours, So Wicked, and Ravenous Rose. There willbe more coming
very soon!
Me: Wow talk about
burning the candle at both ends?! *Snicker*
Oh before we
snuff all of the candles and run off into the night I have a couple random
questions for you to answer.
1. What was your
favorite wax food, or the candy that a least said it
was edible?
Well, the first
thing that comes to mind is a candy of sorts from my
childhood
days. Those little wax soda bottles
filled with some sort of liquid that you
would have to bite the top of the bottle off to drink and then chew up
the bottle -- Remember those? A bit
ridiculous, but I suppose we
thought they were fun then!
2. I always
wondered is wax fruit an offering for Mannequins that may stop over to
visit?
Certainly! But they best be on guard when visiting, as
me and my evil Coyote may try to
use them for our experiments!
Mwhahahaha!!!
3. If someone
gave you a free ride there, which would you go to The House of Wax or
Waxworks, and which would you spend the night in?
Waxwork!!! What a thrill it would be to spend an evening
with so many famous
ghouls. The likes of Dracula, the
Phantom of the Opera, Zombies,
Mummies... A
smorgasbord of fun and frightful people!
4. You have a DVD
Player that runs on an atomic battery what five DVD's you would want with
you on a desert island?
Well... I would definitely want to have The Rocky
Horror Picture Show along that is one
of my all time faves! Let's do the Time
Warp Again!!
Next, I would
have to say I wouldn't want to be stranded anywhere
without my Queen
Live at Wimbley DVD gotta have my Freddie!!!
Then, I'd want to
have my favorite porn flick, Ten Little Maidens, you know one wouldn't
want to get bored... Murder and orgies on an isolated island and a guy
killed by a rubber duckie strangling his dick what could be more
entertaining?!
And speaking of
entertaining, How about John Waters' Pink Flamingos??? Now, that's a
wild romp!
Then, I guess to
tickle my funny bone, something 3 Stooges!
5. Zombies are
running in your front door and you're running out the back door. What three items do you take with you (They
don't have to be survival items).
No brainer! Beer, Cigs, and Tequila. Those zombies aren't
getting a hold of my
stash! Ha ha ha!!!
Me: Okay, that's the
last of them and thank you for letting me keep a few candles here. And thank you
for being such a great guest.
Jfay: Thank you much
Steve, and I hope to see you around the Bloody Bordello very soon!
