HOSTED BY:
Helena,Hussy of Horror / Washington, DC
Your favorite internet horror hostess: Helena, Hussy of Horror® is taking DC by storm! Often naieve, sometimes raunchy, and always light hearted, Helena’s the girl next door with a heart of gold who just happens to dress like a hooker. She gets her inspiration from Elvira, her fashion sense from Betty Page, and it suffices to say, she gets a little political. >>Website
