Since I got a nice auto-related link via BoingBoing today, I thought I'd post a little car entry. I was thinking about how everyone makes fun of Americans for driving big SUVs like the Hummer, and, how like many cases of poking fun at Americans, much of the rest of the world is guilty as well. Flipping around the globe to Russia, here are a few of the SUVs currently on the streets of the former Soviet Union:
So last night I watched the incredibly cheap and not really very good zombie movie The Stink of Flesh. The plot is built around the question: what does a sex-addicted swinger couple do after a zombie apocalypse? In this case, the husband goes out looking for guys to screw his depraved wife… and the husband has a naked female zombie chained up in a shed as his plaything. It sounds more pornographic than it actually is. It's crazy cheap, shot on what looks like consumer camcorders, with minimal production and editing work, hardly any effort on makeup, and so on…
Unless you're a backyard zombie film fan, you should probably avoid it, but I mention it here because there were a decent number of pierced and tattooed folks in the movie (althogh somehow I highly doubt they're SAG members… more like friends and family of the director). Anyway, the first girl to get killed has stretched lobes and a variety of facial piercings, and the zombie girl has nipple rings, a rook, and more (as seen in an earlier flashback where she's seduced by the wife).

One of the things that's not cheaper here in Mexico than in America or Canada is electricity, at least if you use a lot of it (the more you use, the more you pay per kW — sort of like bulk buying with reverse pricing). However, we do have tons of sunlight. Anyway, I was reading an article press release from Pyron Solar about their new solar generator. It's a nice self-contained unit that spits out a sustained 6.5 kW and they're planning to bring it to market for as little as $13,000.
To put that into context, according to the article a 6.5 kW generator is enough to power five or six homes*… So, the cost of “free” electricity for the lifetime of this unit is $2,600 per home. Over the first five years of use you'll have spent the equivalent of $43 a month. Over ten years, you're spending $20 a month on your electricity use (and saving everyone money because of reduced infrastructure and pollution). All of those numbers are a fraction of what we're spending right now…
First of all, let me state that these photos are extremely explicit and you shouldn't click on them if you're not cool with that (or if others are looking over your shoulder).
I've mentioned the growing fetish of insect play* (which crosses over with plenty of modded kinkfolk) in the past, bu I thought this was a set of photos worth posting because the gape shot is pretty wild, even just as a piece of art (rather than as porn). The full set is in tomorrow's BME/HARD update.
Almost forgot to include a brief encounter story. We stayed at the Cabo Real Hotel (or something like that) last night — one of those big resort-like all-inclusive places where jocks and chubby retirees who prefer Mexico to Florida hang out and consume cheap margaritas made with low-grade drink mix. All-inclusive sounds nice at first, but you don't get a lot for $100 a night — our first room (we got moved) had no functioning toilet and the window looked out into the hallway!
In any case, as we're checking in to the hotel, some jock guy comes over to me and belts out his variant the old standard — “yo braw, that musta hella hurt!”
I tell him it didn't, and I'm just sort of staring at him and his buddy when he points at his nostril and I realize he has a really tiny pierced nose gem. He continues, “cause I cried like a motherfucker when they did this to me!”
“Yeah, I guess I'm just not as much into crying as you are,” I tell him.
I suppose he liked the answer because he mumbled something generally agreeable, laughed, and stumbled off with his beer.
