This month marks the fifth year of creation of the Cult Sirens website. My, has it grown!

I actually created the main site for two reasons: mainly to test some web standards HTML and CSS coding and secondly to translate some of my own French articles that were available on my previous site, AstroneF Magazine (which can now be called “late, lamented” I suppose, but not by me). These writings were included in a Scream Queens section that was the main attraction in a very copious menu dedicated to horror, fantasy and science-fiction. Confirmation was made to the person writing these lines that web pages with pictures of attractive women were a big hit, even when fully clothed. So that decided me to actually cough up some bucks and create my own site, knowing that my passion for cult actresses would be shared with fellow enthusiasts… and I could make some money with it.

After unsuccessful associations with Amazon and Gorilla Nation, I decided to go with Google Ads, which has proven quite satisfactory to this day. I deeply know that if I could devote my full time to Cult Sirens, it success could surprise even me. But alas time is precious, as we all know. With my day job being also concerned with web matters, sometimes when I go home I’m still haunted by HTML code (I know that my Avengers site still suffers from negligence).

So yes I became sluggish and the key to revitalize the Cult Sirens brand was the creation of this blog, which is alive since September 2007. I’m satisfied with the always growing number of visitors and most of all my own output. Writing short articles, little essays or simple birthday wishes has kept the interest very high and made me realize that the subject is virtually without limits.

So for 2008, I’ll do my best to keep on being regular, mainly on the blog. I have other projects concerning nice, smiling and healthy-looking women, but these should be more spicier/kinkier and will be of no concern here, as I still try to keep a “no nudity, no vulgarity” policy in these pages. Still, I’ll very soon share a post with you on the subject of pornography that may be surprising…

As for why I keep the Comment option closed, it’s mainly because I don’t care wasting precious hours in handling and moderating all kind of spam and garbage. Simple as that. If you ever want to share information with me, your own views and observations, please see the About page and write me. Interesting feedback could be discussed in a regular post.

So I’ll keep ‘em comin’ if you keep readin’!

It’s the big 4+0+1 for one of the very first guest that ever graced the Cult Sirens site! Tia brought me good luck and I hope the day is as special as the person herself!

Another one of our favorite princess celebrates her birthday today: Barbara Steele. Never quite figured out if she was born in 1937 or 1938 but what the hell? Seems that her next movie comes out in January 2008, which has the charming title of Her Morbid Desires. Cassandra Peterson and Brinke Stevens are also supposed to be in it, so who knows? These Sirens are hard to put down…

It’s Sex Goddess Edwige Fenech’s birthday! You still have time to change your plans for Christmas Eve! You MUST worship Edwige for the only reason that she’ll probably remain beautiful forever and never die, kinda like a Picture of Dorian Gray deal. On your knees!

Today’s is Maila Nurmi’s birthday, best known as Vampira. Everything you always wanted to know about her can be seen in Vampira: The Movie, released in 2006. This icon is still among us, so send you best wishes, even using clever subliminal means!

Today, one of our favorite Asian bodybuilder, actress and stunt woman (yes, all that!) turns an absurdly youthful 50! Michiko Nishiwaki, we would dearly like to see more of you!

Two favorite European Sirens celebrate their birthdays today: Famke Janssen turns 42 and Elke Sommer 67! Famke will probably next be seen in the horror thriller 100 Feet and Elke still pops up from time to time on German television.

The Bride of Frankenstein would’ve turned 105 today! Let’s all drink to Gods and Monsters!

76 candles today for our Swedish beauty!

Today is Martine Beswicke’s 66th birthday, an actress that participated in three James Bond movies and some enjoyable Hammer Studios productions. I have always thought that she had the potential to become the next Barbara Steele and, in her own way, got her cult status by way of some fiery performances in the sixties and seventies.

Born in Jamaica, Martine will always be associated with bikinis and sunshine, having a fine time playing more often than not dominant characters. Alas, she hasn’t been seen on a movie project since 1995. If you have only one movie to choose from her past work, you can’t go wrong with Dr. Jekyll and Sister Hyde.

From cult magazine Cine.Zine.Zone, here’s a typical Martine pose:
