Name: Lilith Stabs

Age: I try to not say. I fear that being an actress
and telling your age could lead to typecasting of a
sort.

Where do you live: I'm based in Atlanta, but also
frequent Columbus,Ohio, and L.A.

I have read that you got into show biz, and the public eye, through
being a dominatrix. Is this true?

Yes, it allows you some forms of media exposure with
ads you run, interviews, photos and stories in
magazines, etc. All that and the right image can get
you some attention.

What was it like?

It was fun but at times stressful to do on a full-time
basis. It is a business that can be good one month and
slow the next so that is where the stress comes in. It
is not consistent.

Do you still do this work?

On a very exclusive basis. Mostly when I travel.

What made you want to try to become a dominatrix?

I think the implements and fetish attire appealed to
me at a very young age and my interests grew. I
realized it was a way I could make a living, be my own
boss and still do the other entertainment type of work
I desired to do.

Are you involved in any other type of "sex" work?
(Porn/magazine shoots?)

No, I have had offers to do porn, and that is just not
a direction I desire to go. I've also had men's
magazine offers but still haven't given in to that.
The offer would have to be pretty specific: I would have
to have the cover shot, get paid a decent fee and have
creative control of the photos that were to be
published.

You have a growing fan base in the B-movie genre.
How many films have you done?

I think there are about eight now, but some are still
unreleased.

What is your favorite?

So far I think I will like Malefic the best, I liked
the role. It has not been released yet so I can't be
sure. I enjoyed playing the character Lace. What she was
doing was truly bad, but deep down she had good
intentions.

Do you enjoy making movies? Is it just a job or a
passion?

I would have to say it is a passion. I would love to
do even more but there seems to be a lot of problems in the
B-movie industry with movies that never get made. I
get scripts and offers but the people end up having
budget problems and it never gets filmed. Then
sometimes it gets filmed and the movie is so delayed
in coming out because they have even more budget
problems that occur after filming, like editing,
distribution, etc.

I heard you did not want to do nudity in Vampire
Call Girls. Do you not approve of nudity in films?

I don't approve of selling the movie just because of
the nudity. I think people should have a story line; a
good script is an excellent way to bring that about.
But in the B-industry they won't even distribute a
movie unless there are nude scenes within the first 10
minutes. I think that the lines are getting crossed
between the softcore porn and B industries, and that is
truly a shame because there used to be some really
good B-horror films.

Have you done any nude scenes yet?

No, I have danced around that successfully so far. I
think the only reason I have gotten this far in the
B-industry and escaped doing the nude scenes is
because I have a very dominate image. It is easy for me
to play a lead vampiress or witch or killer who
doesn't require nudity. I have been in scenes with
others who are nude, I don't have objections to that.

I see you do lots of conventions, magazines, films, etc.
Which is the most fun to do?

They all have their appeal. Seeing myself in magazines
for some reason never gets old. And I enjoy doing
photo shoots for them as well as interviews. Films
can be great fun, especially if you are working with
some actors and actresses that you have become friends
with. But conventions tend to be the most fun of all;
you get to travel, meet fans, make new contacts and see
friends in the business.

What projects do you have going on; any books,
bands, films, etc.?

I'm currently writing several screenplays and am
supposed to begin shooting in late August for the first
of the three. I am also cast as "Lilith" in a movie
titled Portrait of Death, that will also film in
August. I have recorded my CD, but there are delays in
it being released. I plan on finishing a book this
winter (it is domination-related).

You have a dark, vampiress-look and people I have
talked to consider you goth. Do you consider yourself
goth, do you listen to that type of music, or live
that lifestyle?

I tend to be called goth quite a bit but I actually
consider myself more glam, so I term my look as darkly
glamourous. I love wearing colors, many strict goths
only wear black. I guess I just don't like to put
these type of limits on myself. I do listen to some
goth music but also into industrial, techno, rock 'n' roll, punk and some pop. I do, however, live mostly at night.

What were you like as a teenager? Were you
attracted to the darker side of life?

Yes, I was into the darker elements of life, which
reflected in the way I dressed, the music I liked,
horror movies, etc. But I was still blonde and innocent
back then.

Do you still live in Atlanta?

Yes, Atlanta is still my home base. I do travel quite
often though, Columbus, Ohio, is a second home, I enjoy
L.A. a lot as well.

What do you do?

When in Atlanta I try to go out often and see friends
when I'm home.

Is there a cool music/art/film scene there?

There is a pretty decent music and art scene there.
But not that much as far as films.

How did your music CD turn out?

It is seriously delayed. And it is kind of out of my
hands at the moment. I have done my recording but
other aspects are holding things up but I do hope it
comes out within the next couple of months.

Is it available online anywhere?

It will be, mp3 is supposed to have it, as well as
various other sites.

I notice you have a bunch of photography online,
how did you get involved in this, is it something
you do a lot, or just a part-time hobby?

I love modeling and photography, I feel comfortable on
both sides of the camera. I enjoy working with
different photographers as far as modeling goes, it
gets me new material for my Web site, etc. And I love
taking photos for models/bands, etc. It allows me to
express a lot of creative ideas.

What is it like doing all these conventions, do
you enjoy seeing the fans?

It is usually a very enjoyable experience. Meeting
fans is a way of getting feedback that people are into
what you are doing.

What is one of the craziest things that has happened
at a convention?

I guess one of them would be when Andee Agony and
myself were set to do our marriage ceremony at a
convention in New Orleans, and had received death
threats all week before going. Needless to say we
cancelled those plans for safety's sake, you never know.

Do you get recognized on the streets?

More often than I would have imagined. I consider most
of what I've done kind of underground, but if you do a
large quantity of even that level of stuff (movies,
music, magazines, modeling and Internet stuff) it
starts to get around and more people start to remember
you.

I notice you have quite a few Web links. Are you
comfortable with a computer?

Yes, but there are still things that stump me and make
me want to scream.

Do you design your own pages?

Yes, I think it would be too much trouble to have
someone else maintain it for me. There is always
something I want to add or change.

What do you like to do online?

I like answering my e-mail and sometimes visiting
various sites I stumble across.

You seem very busy. What is a day for you like?

I like to be busy. If I have slow time then I work
on writing and photo shoots, but I do that anyway so I
guess that qualifies as busy too.

What do you do to relax?

If not work itself, then I go out and do something fun
with friends. Or if I really want to relax I settle
down to watch some movies and cuddle with my pet bunny,
Serena.

What should we be watching for from Lilith Stabs?

The release of my CD (whenever that may be). And also
for the screenplays I'm currently working on to be
filmed, I'm hoping to start my own line of videos.

Can you give us a statement of sentence for your
fans?

Remember, when someone tells you your goals are
impossible, that should only make you strive harder to
achieve those goals. In other words never give up.
