Image by Eon McKai from his next film “Eyelashes.”
The images populating this post are, I think a great match for the texual subject matter. I follow Eon on Twitter and for the past few days he’s been tweeting pics from the set of his next film: I asked if I could grab them and he said yes — his next film is called “Eyelashes” and the full cast list is after the jump. Along with more images he’s randomly shot with his iPhone. They are fantastic. And because he let me put them here in addition to Twitpic where I snagged them from, should Twitpic decide to arbitrarily remove them (as they seem to want to do with others’ pics), we’ve got them in a safe place.
This post also centers around this week’s column (which has gotten me some very amused, appreciative email), Sex in the Future Will Be Weird – Violet Blue: The future of sex is so shiny, I just don’t want to look. Here’s a snip:
On Monday, a duffel bag full of someone’s stinky clothes put downtown into a standstill bomb scare. I know–I had a bird’s eye view of the Transbay Terminal. Forgotten luggage is nothing if not apocalyptic. Then, we had a tsunami scare. Like a harbinger cherry on top of a paranoid sundae, the Great Highway closed for the formation of freakish sand dunes.
It’s like a Californian’s End of Days, but without the rumored devastating olive-oil drought, Biblical nipple-piercing virus of doom, or prophesied hair-gel sanctions from Las Vegas. (The last of which would effectively cripple local government, if not state.)
We seem to be on the edge of life itself, making it no better time than to think that like any other time when there’s a prophetic series of events leading toward world destruction, our sexually charged sci-fi future is just as close as ever. I mean, for frak’s sake, didn’t we learn anything from Battlestar? (Other than, disappointingly, Starbuck is not gay.)
The rule seems to be that if the end is nigh, someone must have had sex with a cylon and we’re reaping the consequences. Yes, the sex and tech conference Arse Elektronika 2009 Sex and Technology Festival starts tonight here in San Francisco, so it seems that we have all the symbolic signs we need. And, we might be wondering when we’re going to start having future sex already and musing about how totally amazing it will certainly be. And we’ll all be thinking the world is lame that we’re not already having hot replicant sex-on-tap right now. The closest we can manage is a good line on cheap used Victoria’s Secret mannequins (the kind with the wonderfully obscene nipples.)
The thing is, we’re already having sex in the future. Right now. It’s just not by strapping on those dorky virtual-reality goggles. Or maybe it is, you hot, pale dork.
Are we having sex in the future yet? (…read more, sfgate.com)

“Eyelashes” will star Katie St. Ives, Aiden Starr, Violet Monroe, Charlotte Vale, Kitty McMuffin (cutest pr0n name ever!), Vin Vericose, Dane Cross, and Sherwood. I don’t know anything else about it, as I just started harassing Eon about it today… :)

What strangly beautiful pictures. The pictures themselves are so good they have distracted me from the porn!Do you have any idea when Eyelashes will be finished?
And how are you?!
