Careful. You just might learn something…

CrashCourse is a web series based on the idea that everyone knows how to do something. Each episode stars a special guest teaching you how to do something they’re good at. It’s useful…it’s weird…it’s edutainment.

The host of CrashCourse is the lovely Lenora Claire. Helming the project is its creator and director, me.

Here are the demo episodes (on myspace). In them James St. James, author of Party Monster and Freak Show (releasing May 17th 2007), teaches you how to make high-fashion outfits out of ingredients found in your kitchen. If you ever wanted to know how to make a wig out of vermicelli, it truly is your lucky day.
