By Mark Ames, AlterNet. Posted March 13, 2009.
If you keep squeezing workers to fatten filthy-rich executives' already-obscene bonuses, there can be very violent consequences. Tools

I went on an eBay splurge. Don't we all? I certainly don't have the money to do so, being a student. However, I felt my pinup wardrobe needed an update. For some reason, I immediately head for the lingerie. Always. It is really worth the investment in a dress, but I just cannot afford such luxury. Alas, I have to do shoots in my skivvies because I can't afford a classy dress.
ANYWAY. Enough b*******. I just recieved my goodies in the mail! My favourite item, and my soon to be all… Continue
I'll be in NYC this Saturday with my buddy Paco for a fabulous show called Pretty in Pink. Paco's hosting and performing and I'll be performing my favorite burlesque routine.
The show is at the Public Assembly - 70 N. 6th St, Williamsburg. The cover is just $10; or only $8 if you come wearing PINK! Show starts at 10pm. So, if you're in the neighborhood I'd love to see you there. :)…

Leave the cutesy kid stuff behind. If you are a lucky dude with a sexy lady in your life then get her some sexy glamour photos to treasure forever. I specialize in bringing out the mature sensuality in my female subjects. Lana Turner, Ava Gardner, Rita Hayworth, Eartha Kitt. Those weren't little girls playing dress up but REAL WOMEN who knew how to use what their mamma's gave 'em! And if your gal has what it takes then let me capture some shots of her that will last a lifetime. Contact me for… Continue

Here's a preview of my new splash page for my modeling site - I'm pretty pumped about this look. I have a bit more tweaking to do, but not bad for 4.5 hours work last night. Most of that time was spent on the 'pulp novel' graphic which I pretty much made from scratch. Yeah, I really need to toy around with the text alignment a little more, but the new site will be pretty rad.
Please understand that my lil rants are always full of love. I find the comedy in it. I'm sure you guys and galls can read it and get a kick out of it. Hehe!
I am part of a Modeling website, where I get to post pictures and look for photographers to work with. Also, I get to look at Casting calls for different projects and work.
A few days ago, I came across a casting call which was for a fetish style model. The photographer had a specific outfit he wanted the model to… Continue

Subtitle should read: In defense of the nerd : P
It wasn't that long ago that I would've stayed very clear from the words "geek", "nerd", "freak", etc. After all I was bullied mercilessly throughout elementary school and high school. And college wasn't exactly a cake walk either...
Anyway I'm embracing it now and realize it doesn't have to be as negative as everyone else sees it. After all North American society glorifies ignorance and stupidity going while fearing and ridiculing… Continue

Yesterday Hot Rod Heidi who is playing Ruby, in our new feature film Rat Rod Rockers, came over to do a bit of screen testing. Since I have only written the synopsis and select scenes to date, working with the actors gives me dialog direction for the character as I am writing their scenes. I also like working with my actors for character development detail. I feel that if an actor puts a bit of themselves into the character, the portrayal is much more… Continue

Posted the First & Second Halves of The 2008 Seattle Roadster Show segments up on You Tube (also on my PL page) - https://www.youtube.com/gokustom I divided into two parts because the whole clip is over 10 minutes long and 10 minute is the You Tube clip limit.

I found today , when I picked up my copy of the new Car Kulture Deluxe, that there is a write up inside about my books! On page 20 in the section Deluxe Stuff!! You will find a small write up and photos of the covers. I am thrilled!
I will add a note to this as well concerning my book on women's hairstyling called "Set & Style, Retro Beauty Basics". This book is currently in the beginning stages of being published professionally,.. so I have stopped producing this myself. I am… Continue
My pops and I always had this dream that one day after his retirment we would find a remote area with alot of land in like the Fresno area and open up a late 30's/ early 40's lounge with a live jazz/blues band. The waiters and waitresess would be dressed acording to the era with fez caps, trench coats, beautiful vintage dresses etc. It would be like you walked into a whole other time zone. Smoking/drinking would be allowed kind of like a 'Speak easy' spot, Only legal. lol. He wanted it to be…Continue
I'm headed to the Volo Auto Museum Friday to take in the fine autos. I'll be snapping a few hundred photos I think, about like last time. Some of the images get my treatment into pop art, lots don't. Most are for the pure enjoyment of looking at so many cars in one place.
I'll have a bunch of new images to share, stay… Continue
