Pink Hitler & White Russians: Coens vs. Tarantino Show Opening
How do you fit hundreds after hundreds of Tarantino and Coen brothers lovers into the relatively small Chelsea’s Bold Hype Gallery? Slowly. The line was three floors, two hallways, hour+ long and by the time you snailed on up in there, all the White Russians were drunken up. (See photographic evidence.) Read more »
Cocaine dealers in Puerto Rico are having a lot of success shipping their product to the states via the U.S. Postal Service reports the Associated Press. It’s not only cheap, but also requires a lot less coordination than say go-fast boats or narco submarines.

Graffiti Bombed Toy Trucks
In all fairness, Tommy REBEL was the first to create toy replicas of box trucks he actually painted, but I’m not angry at TYO Toys’ continuing series that basically does the same.

This cheesy babe calendar was put out by the popular Russian political youth movement Nashi or “Ours” (dubbed “Nashists,” ’cause they’re nuts.) I’ve translated the pun-laden bilines of this “Sex Vs. Corruption/Love Vs. Evil” spectacle of nubile Nationalism you. Now here’s why this is ironic… Read more »
Here’s a peek at what 30 minutes of an Adam Yauch-directed, new Beastie Boys album-promoting short film featuring Seth Rogen, Will Ferrel, Jack Black, Elijah Woods, Susan Sarandon for fuck’s sake, etc etc., will look like. Read more »
Hours ago, Voina’s anti-authoritarian drawbridge graff-bomb Dick Captured by the FSB was awarded the Innovation-2010 prize for best visual work of art. The crowd then began chanting “Dick! Dick! Dick!” Voina’s rep writes that they won’t keep the 400,000 ruble prize ($14,180) but will “forward it to political prisoners in Russia.” Read more »
23-year-old porn star Sasha Grey has just announced on her Facebook that her “time as an adult film performer has expired” at “a perfect time for me to move on… while I was on top (pun indeed, intended).”
