This Week in BME

If you listened to my last podcast with Brian (Perk900), you heard the story behind this picture. But if not! Well, Sarvas was minding his own business at last week’s APP convention in sunny Las Vegas, just walking around, but oh, the trail was blocked, by Buck Angel. A photo was requested, and each man insisted upon removing his shirt before any evidence of their meeting was recorded, and then Sarvas just started throwing Buck around like a damn rag doll. For more fun Vegas anecdotes, listen to my subsequent podcast with Brian, coming soon!

And that’ll be it for our week, folks. What went down this time around?

– We died of dysentery.

– Our scars healed beautifully.

– We got tattooed with a cat, just for kicks.

– We showed you our whole mouth, and you liked it.

– We were pirates.

– We went a-tightrope walkin’.

– We just straight up went crazy.

As per usual, we’ll be here a bit over the weekend, and then Monday morning we hit the ramp and fly back into orbit, clutching the little alien that’s grown so dear to us. Or something. Until then, stay safe, ModBloggers, have a good one, and, as always, thank you for your continued support of BME.

The Dye is Cast Red

Maybe Cory down there avoided the train’s ghostly remains, but as we can see, jane.jones has cast her lot with the water demon on her side. In all seriousness though, the combination of traditional tattoo elements really works nicely here (and is a little more comprehensible than this gleefully insane melange). Also interesting to note is that no color alteration has been done to this photo; the world is actually sepia where she lives (Canada).

Up top? That’s Cory, who sends in a set of photos shot by his friend, Brian Gurnee. The train tracks you see are allegedly haunted by The Hookerman, though luckily, neither Cory nor Brian were, what, hooked? Hookered? Either way, glad you’re safe, gents.

More shots, after the jump.

BME News and Notes: Video Edition

Hey, so, first things first, this here is a band from scenic Canada, North America, called The Ending, who have just filmed the fancy video for their song “Freakshow” that you see above. Now, normally, we don’t give preferential promotional space to bands (other than Pearl Jam, who I will promote forever and so help me God you will like it), but what do you know, they’ve got people doing all sorts of fun sideshow stuff in the video! Also, it features BME super-hunks Orbax, Sweet Pepper Klopek and Russ Foxx! Go look at your friends, people.

Moving right along, how would you like to be on television? Specifically, MTV? Well, here’s some pertinent information!

MTV’s True Life is casting for an upcoming episode and seeks young people, 16-26, at odds with their parents over their relationship; mainly because of their significant other’s interest in tattoos or body modification.

You can email your situation to [email protected], and be sure to include your name, age, location, phone number, and recent photo of yourself.

If anyone who reads this is featured on the show, please do everything you can to infiltrate MTV and punch everyone on The Hills in the balls.

And finally, apparently Playboy is too fancy to allow embedding of their videos, but this here is some kinda folk song dedicated to the Denver Nuggets and their tattoos. The Nuggets, who advanced to the NBA’s Western Conference Finals last night, are pretty much, to a person, covered from elbow to asshole in tattoos. The song isn’t hilarious, but hey, sports + tattoos + acoustic guitar + Playboy = Welcome to ModBlog!

Mark Sunday at Luck of the Draw checks in with some handsome pieces from his portfolio—a pair of dreamy underwater scenes, this one of a murderous jellyfish. What’s the rule about jellyfish, again? You’re supposed to pee on one if it’s attacking you, right? No? Ah, I’m no good with sea monsters.

After the jump, some serene and colorful fish, swimming around in nature’s aquarium.

Greetings, ModBloggers! Let’s kick off the day with Alex’s nicely healed pointed ears, as pointed by the man with Brooklyn’s shiniest scalp, xPUREx. This is a pretty dramatic pointing, but these photos were taken a year after the procedure and, near as we can tell, no complaints. Huzzah.

Well, folks, let’s wrap things up with some good old fashioned nightmare fuel. The piece you see above is worn by Dee, and it looks like someone took an old-school wall of flash, threw it in a blender with a few ounces of peyote and let nature take its course. In an excellent way, of course. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to take a cold shower. The coldest.

Until tomorrow, ModBloggers.
