"Vampire Girl" Drinks Her Boyfriend's Blood, "Loves the Taste"

​Georgina Condon is a regular, 38-year-old woman who likes doing regular, 38-year-old woman things, like experimenting with makeup, going on dates with her boyfriend, and, when the time is right, drinking a little bit of his blood. 

Condon is a self-identified vampire, though she told the Daily Mail that she was into it before all the Twilight and True Blood hype, before being a vampire was cool. She developed a taste for human blood as a 12-year-old girl growing up in Australia — she would pick her scabs, as most restless children do, and then suck her own blood. She kept coming back to blood drinking for its appealing metallic taste.

A makeup artist by day, Condon has been covering her face in white talcum powder and dressing in black clothing for much of her life, though she said she tried to keep her "active vampirism a secret as friends called her 'weird.'" She frequented goth clubs and vampire balls, and was surprised to find that men were often "turned on" upon finding out she was a self-proclaimed vampire. 

It was at one of these fête​s that she met her current blood donor and boyfriend, Zameal, whom she's been dating for two years. "I met him at a Bloodlust Ball in Brisbane, which is like our Christmas party where we dress to the nines in ball gowns and costumes," she told ​Daily Mail.​ She clarified that she doesn't use her fangs to break his skin — she instead (very carefully) uses a razor or other small object, and lets the blood flow. Because she's had so much practice on herself, she knows how to dress a wound and avoid an artery. ​"It's not about the gore, it can be a very sensual thing," she said.

She and Zameal are exclusive — it would be considered cheating for her to drink the blood of another donor at this point. "He sacrifices to give me what I want from time to time," Condon told ​Daily Mail. "He believes in monogamy so it's a form of intimacy."

Condon partly attributes her bloodlust to a blood condition she has called thalassemia​, which causes her to be anemic and crave iron — kind of like how non-vampires crave red meat when they're on their period.

"There is a science to it," she said. "It's like when you're hanging for a really good red steak."

Yes, I'm sure it's ​exactly​ like when you're "hanging" for a really good steak. Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "​he's a fine piece of meat​."
