She may be a virgin, but she’s gotten drunk a few times and showed stuff on camera to a bunch of exploitative filmmakers.

Boyo, it’s not kid blood! It’s obviously the blood of [white court vampires](http://dresdenfiles.wikidot.com/white-court), which is repeatedly described as being pinkish. I’ve never seen a vampire walk out of a Dr Pepper Plant\*, either.

- I have never seen a Dr. Pepper bottling plant. But I have seen a Coke one, and it was full of vampires\*\*.  
\*\* Oh, all right. It wasn’t vampires. It was closed, though, so I’m betting on ghosts.
