I'm into bondage. I think it's really fun, and I love playing
the part of the damsel in distress.
The feeling is amazing
when someone [spanks me] right.

Said shortly before traveling to Ireland
to wed shock rocker Marilyn Manson, December 2005 |
It's not going to be a freak show like everyone presumes.
It's going to be elegant and stylish. And it's going to take
place at nightfall. We like the evenings - I just don't see
the point in getting up early to get married.

About her wedding plans - she and Marilyn
Manson wed in a conventional wedding ceremony in an Irish castle |
He's very interested in the ceremony, but he's trusting my
judgment on all the aesthetics.

I think it's exciting when you do it with someone you trust.
I know there are different gadgets people can buy to do it to
themselves safely, so that when they pass out they can breathe
again. You just have to do it safely.

On the sort of erotic asphyxiation that
cost INXS singer Michael Hutchence his life in 1997 - quoted
in Steppin Out magazine, 2005 |
I get accused a lot of using him for my benefit. But the truth
is I got a lot of hate mail when I first started to date him.
I actually had people who didn't want to be members of my Web
site anymore because they felt he tarnished my pristine image
or something. So it works both ways.

There are things that I gained and things that I lost because
of our relationship. But what it all comes down to is that I'm
in love with Marilyn Manson, so there's no other choice in the
matter. Plus, if I were looking to date someone to further my
career
I don't think I would have picked the Antichrist!.
