 Who better to promote the virtues of giving blood than a vampire?
At least, that's what a Sao Paulo city councilman thinks and that's why he wants to officially declare Aug. 13 Vampire Day, to coincide with a city-wide drive for blood donations. "Our intention is to pay homage to a good vampire," city councilman Jose Laurindo de Oliveira told the newspaper Jornal da Tarde. The campaign was started by actress and author Mariliz Marins, daughter of the B-movie horror film maker Jose Mojica Marins, better known as Coffin Joe. Following in her father's footsteps, Mariliz has created her own alter ego, Lizvamp, who will serve as the campaign's poster girl. The blood drive is set to begin Tuesday at Sao Paulo's Pro-Blood Foundation, the largest blood center in Latin America supplying 300 hospitals within city. Mariliz hopes to tap in to a wave of vampire mania that will sweep across Brazil as the Rede Globo television network launches its latest soap opera, Kiss of the Vampire, on Aug. 26.
