Spanish Fly.

Well Hello My Loves!

Been a while since I've posted, but you must forgive me as I have been a very busy bee!

If you've looked at my IMDB page recently, you may have noticed a couple of new things! For example, a short Biography of me has popped up and you'll also notice a new movie role! That's right awesome Director and dear friend of mine, Stacy Davidson gave me a cameo in his killer, badass horror flick Sweatshop! It's an honor to be a part of a film I love so much that was made by and stars some of my favorite people on this planet!

Also, Stacy Davidson has a amazing new project in the works called Vision. You can learn more about the film and even donate to the making of it by visiting IndieGoGo. Every dollar counts! SUPPORT INDIE FILM!!!

More fun things are happening in RoxyLand! I recently wrapped a part in Joe Grisaffi's film Lars The Emo Kid. It was a very cool experience finally getting to work with Joe, whom I absolutely adore and practically owe my entire acting career to!

I've also been cast in the Poison Apple Production Project Pangea: Dinosaurs Unleashed! Brought to you by the makers of Renfield: The Undead, the vampire film I was thrilled to be a part of this past spring. I'll be playing a sexy Wiccan Priestess in this creature feature and I can't wait for filming to start!

It doesn't end there. I'm also in talks with Backroad director, Wayne Slaten to play a sexy Russian spy in his next project, and there's another role I've been cast in that's super duper secret right now!

Now for some fun peeeektures! I was fortunate enough to star in a music video for the band Harem Festival and I got to wear some gorgeous costumes and out-of-this-world makeup courtesy of the video's co-director Miss Ash Kay. (You know her as the star of Sweatshop!)
Stacy Davidson also directed and shot the video and he's editing it right now. I'll be posting it here as soon as it's done!

*Click a pic to Blow it Up!*






Last but not least, I want to share a recent interview I did for a Horror Blog all the way across the pond in Spain! Check it out here. Thing is, the Valhalla Gate site is all in Spanish! So, please do check out the page because it looks really cool and there are some great pics. But....luckily, I saved the English version to post here for those that don't know Espanol!
*NOTE* This interview was conducted on May 25, 2010.
- What was your first experience as an actress?
My first experience as an actor was Junior High Theatre. We had a great theatre department and I did plays such as "Bye Bye Birdie", "The Wizard of Oz", "The Pink Panther Strikes Again" and the fun one act play "This is a Test." I also participated in and won several trophies at theatre tournaments at schools all around Houston.
I Know you thanks to Witchcraft 13 ( 2008 ) what can you tell us about this film?
WC13 was my first film. I had never been on camera before and knew little to nothing about the process of film-making. By the time we wrapped, I had learned so much and decided that acting was something I was deeply passionate about.
How did you prepare for the role for Keely.
Keely, my character in WC13 is a sexy little vixen Witch, who is totally evil and hellbent on taking over the world. I prepared for the role by watching all of the 12 previous installments in the Witchcraft series. I didn't learn much from those films. They're pretty cheesy. I just made Keely my own and followed the direction of Mel House.
What about the sex scene? almost kill yourself on the stairs, right?
I got pretty bruised up during that sex scene (which is pretty graphic). We were rolling around on a hardwood floor for take after take. It was my first time doing a sex scene or even appearing topless on camera, but I really wasn't nervous. It was fun and the whole cast and crew had a lot of laughs.
Some curious anecdote in this film?
One crazy thing that happened on the set of WC13 was when we filmed in the deep woods of Central Texas and we all got attacked by Chiggers. Chiggers are little insects that burrow into your skin and make you itch really bad. One chigger burrowed into a tattoo on my back and sucked the ink out. I still have the scar.
You are actress, model, you like best?
Acting is my first love. Modeling just sort of happened to me. I didn't really pursue it. It fell into my lap when Spirit Camp Director Kerry Beyer started photographing me regularly. He taught me about my angles and how to move my body for the camera. I owe my modeling career to him.
In 2009 you working in Spirit Camp, Some curious anecdote in this film?
We worked on Spirit Camp for over a year, so there are a million funny stories I could tell. Here's one of my favorites, though. The actor who plays the killer in the film has a condition called Hyperhydrosis. That means he sweats A LOT.
He and I spent a lot of time rolling around on the ground together with me lying beneath him, and often times, streams of his sweat would pour out of the mask's airholes directly, into my face, eyes and even my mouth. It was not fun. To this day, if anyone gets their sweat on me for any reason...I immediately think of him.
In 2010 you working in Killer School Girls from Outer Space, what can you tell us about this film and your role. Some curious anecdote in this film?
My role is KSG was very small, but quite fun. It was my first time working with an Austin based crew and they were great. I got to play against type for the first time. Instead of playing a sexy vixen, or a goth girl I got to play a sweet, innocent teenager who's boyfriend is trying to talk her into a romantic rendezvous in the woods.
This year ( 2010 ) you working in Renfield the Undead, what can you tell us about this film.
Working on Renfield was a dream come true. It was my first time working on a film with such an amazing makeup and costuming department. I got to play a Vampire onscreen which I always wanted to do and I got to wear a beautiful handmade gown, vampire teeth and eyes. It was really cool.
It was also fun because I got to get hot and heavy with the delicious Tyler Tackett, one of Texas's fastest rising stars.
What are your favorite genres to act in and to see.
I don't know that I have a favorite genre. I am interested in working on all types of films. Horror will always have my heart, but I'd love the opportunity to play comedy. They say comedy is the most difficult.
What was the last movie you´ve seen ?
The last movie I saw for the first time was Texas director Stacy Davidson's Sweatshop. I was totally blown away by it. It was so well done on every level and it really made me squirm in my seat - as any good horror flick should do.
Your 5 favorite movies ?
Easy.
1. Interview with the Vampire
2. The Lord of the Rings Trilogy
3. Braveheart
4. The Crow
5. 300
What project are you currently working on at the moment?
I'm starring in a film called Crumble. In it I play a heroin addict who's life is spiraling out of control. It's very dark and disturbing in some places and I feel it's some of the best acting of my career.
Who would you like to work with in the future (actors, directors...)
My list of people I'd like to work with is currently topped by Stacy Davidson. He's a friend of mine and we are currently looking for an excuse to work together on something because we know we'd rock it out!
Now, if we're talking fantastical dreams of people I'd like to work with...definitely Martin Scorsese, Sam Mendes, Peter Jackson, and I'd love to do a Frank Miller adaptation. I would officially like to make it known to Robert Rodriguez that I am available for Sin City 2! hehehehe.
What do you think about Spanish films?
I'll answer your question with a question. Do you mean Spanish-Language films, or films made in Spain?
I'm not sure that I've ever seen any films made in Spain though I do enjoy the work of Spanish actors Antonio Banderas and Penelope Cruz. I've also read a lot about Pedro Almodovar and understand that he is an incredible film-maker. As for Spanish Language films, Pan's Labyrinth definitely comes to mind as a favorite. But then, I love everything Guillermo Del Torro does. The man's a genius.
Which person or people caused more impact on you throughout your career, as a person and as a professional ?
Throughout my career I have been lucky to be surrounded by supportive and helpful people. Two that stand out would definitely be Spirit Camp director Kerry Beyer, who served as a sort of Mentor to me for some time. I know if I have any questions about the biz, I can call him up and get advice. Also, Texas Actress Julin Jean. She's a dear friend of mine and she has a lot of experience. She has been incredibly helpful to me.
A dream?
My dream? I imagine my dream is much the same as any actor trying to make it in this business. I want to make great films with great people. I want my passion to be my living. I want to be successful!
And that's all, my Darlings....Until next time...remember...my arms are around you all and I smell like bananas!

Lady In Red.

Hello my sweet darlings!!!

It's been a while since we've embraced. I've missed you. Have you missed me? I don't mean to neglect you, I've just been super busy working on tons of radical things. Some of those things are Top Secret as of now, but I promise when you see them, you'll be blown away!

I'm feeling under the weather tonight. I think it's just a nasty summer cold. I'm just relaxing and hoping I'm well sooner rather than later.

I've made some new friends recently and I gotta say, I don't know how I ever got by without them!!! I'm connecting with and working with, (and planning to work with) some of the coolest people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting.

It's not all fun and games though. It has recently been brought to my attention that a former friend and colleague is spewing hateful rumors about me. I think it's just sad. I have repeatedly reached out to this person in very kind ways to try and rebuild a bridge between us that got torched years ago. I don't understand people that hold onto anger and grudges. That stuff just brings you down. So, I take the high road and just remind everyone that you can't always believe what you hear. And I truly appreciate everyone who has come out in support by getting to know me and finding out for themselves what I'm really about.

And right now, I'm about very high concept, sexy pics! This shoot was very experimental both for myself and the photographer, Lucifer Jones. I hope you what we came up with!

Want an Autographed Print?

Lately I've been sending autographed photos all over the country - even to places half way around the world. I love doing this! People have started to inquire about it so often that I've decided to put all the information in one place!

Let it first be known - I do not make a profit off of selling autographed prints. I do it because I love and appreciate my fans.

Does that mean the prints are free? Not exactly.

I ask only that the costs of printing, packing and shipping be covered.

What does that mean for you? That means that U.S. residents in the consecutive 48 states must send $20 to my PayPal account in order to receive a personalized, high-quality glossy print autographed by me and sent flat shipped, not bent or folded via Federal Express.

Most of the time, I can print any photo of your choosing that you find on my Webpage, Model Mayhem or Facebook accounts. I do not however, have access to the hi-resolution printable versions of ALL of my photos, so I recommend choosing 3 favorites, out of which I will likely be able to print at least one.

At this time, I am not shipping internationally, and I only accept PayPal.

So, that's how it's done! Now hit me up and get yourself a little piece of Roxy!

Thunderstruck.

It's storming outside right now. It really makes me want to crawl back in bed. But I've got a stack of Netflix that's totally taunting me right now.

I don't even know where to begin. So much has been going on in RoxyLand. I guess the first order or business is to announce that after 6 years of being self-represented in the film industry I finally decided to get an agent. I love acting and I want to do it more often. Alas, I am now represented by Pastorini-Bosby Talent. Hooray!

In other Texas Movie news...I recently attended Texas Frightmare Weekend in Dallas to promote Spirit Camp! It was a total blasty. I met tons of cool new people, bonded with some people I'd already known and got to sign autographs for the sweetest most dedicated fans a girl could wish for!

Oh, did I mention I also got to rub elbows with some really cool horror icons and movie stars?

I have so much to look forward to in the coming weeks and so much to be thankful for. I've recently made some new friends in the TX Film Community. (You know who you are *wink*) And I'm so grateful to them for opening their hearts and minds, and letting me show them that there's more to the "Roxy Vandiver" persona than meets the eye. Inside there's a caring, sweet, often insecure, often misunderstood girl who sometimes gets carried away by the whirlwind around her. But when her feet touch the ground, she is honest to a fault, trustworthy and fiercely loyal.

Le sigh. Enough talk. I'm getting all Emo. Let's get to the fun stuff! PICTURES! I am delighted to report that I have once again collaborated with genius photographer Kenny Haner of Subsociety Studio to bring you some of my new favorite shots! We went from very casual Roxy to a radically gorey high concept shot. Enjoy!

*click on a photo to view the larger version!*
Oh My God! Kenny killed me! You bastard!





Me & Lance Henriksen! OMG!

Elvira Mistress of the Dark! Still beautiful!

Julian Sands. I have the biggest crush on him. I think it's mutual.

The kickass Bill Moseley, looking very different from his Devil's Rejects Persona!

Sid Haig! aka Captain Spalding!

Obligatory Papparrazzi Shot.

Denise, Julin, Marcus and I.

Julin, Myself and Denise looking secseh at the Spirit Camp booth!

Me with my Renfield co-star Tyler Tackett. He's dreamy!

This guy totally put me on his shoulder!

And then my fishnet got caught on his shirt button. He seemed ok with it.

I got the very special honor of being allowed to sit inside the original screen-used 1958 Plymouth Fury from John Carpenter's film, Christine!

Me with Christine's owner, Bill. He was so sweet to let me play with her!

The Spirit Girls.

I think I'm the only person at the Con that got her own personal Jesus.

Extra special thanks and big hugs to the casts and crews of Sweatshop, Dead of Knight, Zombiefied, Possum Walk, and NonExistent.

Nobody's Daughter.

That's the name of the new album by Hole. I listened to it today. L-O-V-E.

But let's talk about me. I know it's been a while since I posted, but I'm happy to say that this post is going to be full of great news and fun pics and all the shit that makes you love me!

Before we do anything, I know you've all been good little children so let's get right to the sexy photos! These were taken by Sam! Enjoy!

*click on a photo to blow it up!!!*










Okay, now that you've gotten your fix, we can talk about some other cool things. Speaking of fixes. I started a new film this week. It's titled Crumble. It's directed by Mek and stars myself and Nahor Soloman, an up-and-comer in the Texas acting family. In Crumble I play Jezebel, a formerly beautiful junkie who has a life-altering problem on her hands. It's a dark and gritty role which I jumped at the chance to play. Here's a few pics from the set of the film.





In other fun and PAINFUL news. I got a new tattoo last weekend! I've always been a huge fan of the film The Crow. It has a very special place in my heart and my love for it is too deep and personal to share here, but I can most definitely share the photos! My neck is tiny, so it wraps around a bit. The work was done by Patrick at Bombshell Studio (ranked Houston's best Tattoo shop year after year.)





There are a couple of other things I need to share with you before I starve to death. (I've been at the computer for HOURS editing and uploading photos for myself and others.) First! TEXAS MUTHERFUCKEN FRIGHTMARE WEEKEND!
It's this Friday through Sunday in Dallas, Texas. I will be there, as will movie stars and film makers not just from texas, but from all over the country! So, if you're gonna be in Dallas this weekend make sure and stop by the Spirit Camp booth to buy a copy of the film and grab a free autographed print from yours truly!
For all my H-Town peeps! Staying in Houston this weekend? Get your ass up to ROCBAR! It's the hottest place in town, especially if you love rock music and beautiful women swinging from the ceiling! Call/Text 713.256.3329 to book your VIP table and don't forget to mention my name!
Busy this weekend? Fine then. I'll give you plenty of time to prepare for next weekend at ROCBAR because it's MONTHLY MAYHEM! Friday the 7th, join us for out monthly theme party! This month the theme is Heroes & Villains! So dress up as your favorite or even make up your own! It'll be worth it just to show up and see me dressed as the sexiest Poison Ivy you've ever seen!

And on that note, my loves....I'm off to eat something. Fresh veggies and summer sausage sounds fantastic right now.
Drop me a line sometime! My email is at the top right of the page and I read and reply to every single one!
