Kentucky Teenage Vampires Where Are They Now

Remember the buzz back in the late 2000s? Everyone was obsessed with vampires, and Kentucky was no exception. But what happened to those self-proclaimed teenage vampires of the Bluegrass State? Let's sink our teeth into this pressing issue!

From Mall Goths to Model Citizens?

Back then, it felt like every high school had a crew – clad in black, sporting dramatic eyeliner, and whispering about eternal life. Think Hot Topic meets horses, because, well, Kentucky. They were the Kentucky Teenage Vampires, and they were ready to brood.

So, where are they now? Did they find their immortal loves? Are they secretly running bourbon distilleries under the cover of darkness?

The Class President Who Craved… Community Service?

Remember Bethany? She claimed to be a 500-year-old vampire trapped in a 16-year-old's body. She was also student council president. Turns out, all that planning for prom actually paid off.

Bethany, now goes by Beth, is a project manager for a non-profit in Louisville. She organizes community clean-up events. Instead of feasting on blood, she’s organizing food drives! Talk about a plot twist!

The Poet With a Penchant for… Public Relations?

Then there was Damien. His poetry was legendary – dark, angsty, and full of metaphors about the moon. He swore he only drank ethically sourced plasma (whatever that means!).

Turns out, Damien shed the "immortal soul" and embraced the corporate one. He now works in public relations for a major horse racing association. He's still crafting compelling narratives, just about horses instead of hemoglobin.

From Twilight to… Teaching?

And who could forget Sierra? She was the queen of the midnight movie screenings. Her entire wardrobe was velvet and lace. She even tried to convince the school to let her wear sunglasses indoors for "light sensitivity."

Now, Sierra's a high school English teacher in Lexington. She's inspiring a new generation to appreciate classic literature. Maybe she shares some Poe with them… but definitely no vampire novels! (Probably.)

The Brooding is Over, the Bills are Due

The truth is, life catches up with everyone. Even those who thought they'd live forever. Those teenage dreams of eternal night probably faded around the time they started paying rent and doing taxes.

Most of the Kentucky Teenage Vampires have traded their fangs for…well, normal teeth. They are living normal lives.

Lessons Learned From the (Almost) Undead

Maybe the lesson here is that everyone goes through a phase. Maybe it's vampires, maybe it's pirates, maybe it's dressing exclusively in orange. Whatever it is, embrace it!

Because one day, you might be organizing community clean-ups or writing press releases about horses. So, rock that velvet and eyeliner while you can, folks!

And remember, even if you think you’re destined for eternal darkness, there’s always time for a little bit of Kentucky sunshine and bourbon!

“Being a vampire is hard work. Figuring out my student loans? Even harder.” – An anonymous former Kentucky Teenage Vampire.

Perhaps the greatest trick the Kentucky Teenage Vampires ever pulled was convincing us that they were anything other than teenagers. Navigating the turbulent waters of adolescence, armed with a bit of theatrical flair? Let's raise a glass (of something non-alcoholic, for safety!) to that.
