Cassandra "Elvira, Mistress of the Dark" Peterson comes out

[Supersonic 49,376]

Cassandra Peterson — best known to the world as Elvira, Mistress of the Dark — released her new memoir Yours Cruelly, Elvira today and, in the process, came out by revealing her 19-year relationship with another woman, Teresa “T” Wierson.

Their relationship began, as all the best do, at the Hollywood Gold’s Gym when Peterson spotted who she thought at the time was the hottest bad boy in Tinseltown. It wasn’t until they had a chance encounter in the ladies room that she realized her “bad boy” was really a “bad girl” and the two soon became close, albeit platonically.

The friendship only became romantic following the end of Peterson’s 25-year marriage to (singer turned her manager) Mark Pierson.

The two have been together for more than 19 years now, with Wierson taking on the role of Peterson’s assistant. They had to keep the relationship quiet because, as Peterson writes, the couple felt they had to protect the Elvira brand. “Would my fans hate me for not being what they expected me to be?” she shares in the book, adding, “I’m very aware that there will be some who will be disappointed and maybe even angry, but I have to live with myself, and at this point in my life, I’ve got to be truthful about who I am.”

Everyone please help me welcome the Queen of Halloween and gay icon, Cassandra Peterson (aka Elvira, Mistress of the Dark) to the LGBTQ+ family! 
 

For 40 years, Cassandra Peterson has lived in the shadow of her famous alter-ego Elvira... and so has a big aspect of her personal life. Until now.

In her new memoir, "Yours Cruelly, Elvira: Memoirs of the Mistress of the Dark," Peterson reveals for the first time publicly that she's been in a relationship with another woman, Teresa Wierson, for nearly 20 years.

Didn’t realize there was another thread on this. I even looked before I made this and somehow missed it.
