Marilyn Manson doesn't like to fake it. At least, he doesn't like to fake drug use, abuse, and sex when it comes to his music videos. Manson prefers that everything be completely real. He also prefers that everything be extreme, and so when he decided to turn his song "s(aint)" into a video, he came up with some pretty dirty ideas for it. This is a story about how Marilyn Manson found out that his band member, Tim Skold, was good at a lot of things, not just playing music.

"Okay, here's the deal..." Manson spoke to a small group of people surrounding him, "I will do what I want, you can do what you want... to a degree, and Asia, you film it all." As the crowd began to disperse, he spoke up again, "Oh, and by the way, since most of you know me by now, don't be surprised if you find yourself in my company in a very intimate way... if you don't want that, leave now." The crowd exchanged looks and a few of them turned to leave. Not all of them were up to it. When it came down to it, the only ones left were Tim Skold, Manson's all around handy musician; Asia Argentino, a "model" and film myster; Dita von Teese, Manson's then girlfriend; Gidget Gein, a former band member; and some nobody that Gidget had brought with him.
As Asia took up her place behind the camera, Manson pulled out a straw and packet of white powder. He needed to get a "jump", and it seemed like a good addition to the film. He inhaled sharply and rubbed his nose. It was good... just not good enough. So he did another line. And another. And another. After a dose large enough to get the entire crew high, he finally felt he had had enough. Problem was, he still didn't feel good. Depression was racking his nerves and had been for months. He had nearly forgotten about the camera when he took out the razor blade that he had used to chop the powder and slid it across the skin of his chest. He didn't feel it, but it bled anyway. Then his nose started to bleed from snorting the powder. His vision was blurry and his head was spinning.
Skold had been watching all of this. The naked body of Manson was tempting, and he had a lust for blood. It was a fetish he could rarely indulge in due to the risks associated with it. He knew Manson wouldn't object if he played with him a little, for it was obvious that Marilyn was really stoned. He decided to insure it by dressing himself in a white wedding dress. Manson would probably think he was a girl.
