Vampira Is Dead
January 17th 2008 17:38
Maila Numi, who popularised the early-TV macabre character Vampira has died on Jan 10 in her Hollywood Hills home. She is believed to be 85. The cause of death is yet to be confirmed.
Numi also appeared in the notorious Ed Wood movie Plan 9 from Outer Space. Her career took a nose dive by the 1960s, but her distinct Vampira look can be seen today in the contemporary Goth look.
A memorial service is being planned for Numi.

I have just done a retrospective post on vampira over on my "Vintage Culture" blog. I have credited you with inspiring it and provided a link back here too.
Hope that is cool.

Ed Wood would have loved her dress.
