OBSCURA Photos
Tuesday, May 5th, 2009OBSCURA Tonight
Friday, May 1st, 2009
Tonight at The Trocadero Theatre is OBSCURA, which is the pre-party/meet and greet for tomorrow’s big alternative fashion show contest Catwalk Tragedy. I’ll be displaying some of my work along with other artists and photographers like Lithium Picnic, Kyle Cassidy and S. Jenx. There’s also various performances including Philly’s own Live Not On Evil and Mighty Mike Saga.
The art show will be up for both events but I will only be there for tonight’s portion of the two day event.
The Vaderatrix [Kind of NSFW: Vinyl-Clad Villainess]
Friday, April 17th, 2009So I was Googling various nonsense to see what would come up via Google images whilst I read my morning emails and sipped my thinking juice (aka: coffee). Eventually I found this gem of a picture;
Behold! The Vaderatrix! Alluring yet frightening! Disturbing yet awesome! I mean come on, she (or he ’cause one never knows) even has the life-support doohickey and the utility belt. All that’s missing is the whip and a bottle of Astroglide. Once again this proves that geeks are some of the kinkiest freaks on this green rock.
I’m sure this picture has already made the rounds but hell, how can I not share something like this? I have no idea where the original photo comes from, so if you know let me know, but from the looks of it the shot was probably taken at a convention. Shocker I know.
Certainly puts a new twist to the famous Star Wars quote “And now, your highness, we will discuss the location of your hidden rebel base… “
National Haunters Con and Philly Zombie Crawl Pics
Thursday, April 16th, 2009So this past weekend I attended the National Haunters Convention, which took place at the Valley Forge Convention Center right outside of Philly. It’s a mix of a Haunted Attraction trade show and Halloween enthusiast show and included a tour of a local haunt named the Bates Motel and Haunted Hayride. There was a lot going on for me including running a class. A fun time was had by all.
And ’cause I’m a glutton for punishment, Sunday was the 4th annual Philly Zombie Crawl on South Street. My guess, and it’s just that, is that we had some 400 zombies wandering around South Street from bar to bar. All in all it was pretty successful. Being that I’m one of the organizer monkeys there was a lot going on for me. A fun time was had by all.
Sooo… Instead of going through all of the details of both events you can peruse all of the photographs I took this past weekend. Think of it as a gruesome picture book instead of me being a lazy bum.

PrettyGeek.net
Friday, April 3rd, 2009
Fellow blogger, geek and really good friend of mine Hugh Casey has a fantastic site for those who have a fine appreciation of sexy geeks. PrettyGeek.net features various photographs of geeks in nerdtastic outfits ranging from the infamous Princes Leia slave girl bikini to pirates. If it’s a part of geek culture it’s probably going to make its way onto this blog. There’s nothing naughty about this site and is all around work safe, which for some I guess is a bit of a let-down. But hey, naked geeks isn’t what PrettyGeek.net is about. It is in fact all about showing the masses that geeks aren’t all a bunch of unwashed, unkempt, uncouth, socially inept freaks that live in their parent’s basement. Many can be pretty damned swank -and- frigging hot.
When A Monkey Screams, Scream Back
Thursday, February 12th, 2009
I have no idea what the context of this photo is, but I just can’t stop laughing at it non the less. It looks like the monkey on the left is yelling “I said sit the hell down or I’m gonna beat the honky out of you!”

Tilt-Shift Video Of Monster Truck Smack-Down
Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008Keith Loutit is a wizard in tilt-shift and time-laps photography. Above is his newest video “Meal Heart” which documents a monster truck event in Australia.
And no, you’re not looking at miniatures. It’s an actual event with real people, cars, trucks and one flaming truckosaurus.

A White House Shocker? [Kind of NSFW - Dirty Words]
Friday, November 14th, 2008
This fine photograph you see before you has been making the rounds and has yet to proven as a hoax. Its origins being directly from whitehouse.gov pretty much knocks that theory out in my opinion.
What’s so special about this boring photo you may ask. Look closely at it. Notice that they are all making the same hand gesture? That’s what makes this particular photograph special. I think (and you all can correct me if I am wrong) that either the Arizona State University Men’s and Women’s Track Team have pulled off one of the greatest comedy stunts in political history, or the current president is far more hip than we all imagined.
For those of you not in the know, that hand gesture they are all throwing is lovingly named the Shocker. I’ll give you a moment to read about it. Done? OK, let’s continue.
So as I have now seen throughout the Internets, the Shocker, one described as “Two in the pink, one in the stink.” has now been replaced with the new description of “Two in the Bush, one in the tush.”
God bless the U.S.A. and it’s raunchy little brains.
