Hey, badass. Looking for a romantical gift? How about his and hers Bonnie and Clyde guns, seized at the outlaw couple’s Joplin hideout in 1933 after a shootout. The rare weapons are going up for auction in Kansas City this month. Read more »
Lots of people kept one of New York City’s annual time-honored traditions alive by firing off their guns to mark the new year. For over an hour, after the clock struck 12, dozens of “shots fired” reports crackled over the NYPD’s Special Operations Division and Traffic channel, most of them in a row. Listen to the raw audio below that provides but a small sampling of the late night revelry. Read more »

Body Double
One never knows what might happen when two seemingly delirious and rather similar-looking models are placed in a hotel room together, but I can assure you that skimming through the TV menu and room service binge fests aren’t on the agenda. Instead, the tousle-haired duo in this third issue of LOVECAT have some kind of erotic face-off, complete with pistol and and letter-opener, a recurring trend in the magazines editorials. I suppose that the combination of females and weaponry is just too tempting to pass on for publications these days, but I’m not mad either way. Ladies, play nice. NSFW. Read more »

At first, this chest of fancy Apocalypse “prepper” gear and a skeleton “burried” with Coca-cola, Jack Daniels, Marlboros, Adidas, a Leica, a Fender, a Rolex, a Colt 45 and the Bible seem… ostentatiously cynical about branding fetishism. Yet, since their maker, Jersey-dwelling Dylan Egon, is comfortably employed in design and luxury photography, I’m not sure why he’s wallowing in the excess of this imagery. Self-satisfaction? Self-loathing? See it up close at “Home of the Brave,” Dylan Egon, Sep 10 – Oct 8, Jonathan LeVine Gallery I, NYC
Anna Chapman Points Big Guns
Just when captured/deported Russian spy Anna Chapman began fading in our memory, reducing herself to a vague, shapely ginger aura… Bang, there she is at an arms-expo in Russia, hugging a giant gun and standing next to some riffles. The government-trained seductress has a love hate relationship with weapons, but hey, you gotta throw the fans a bone once in a while to keep up a celebrity rep so reliant on fetishist wank-potential.

Forty-seven people were shot citywide over the holiday weekend in a string of unrelated incidents, a few of them fatal. The violence stretched into the early hours of Monday morning, as gunmen refused to observe Labor Day. Shots later rang out near the West Indian Day Parade, further spiking the number of wounded. The 48 hours of bloodshed was so bad, it could only properly be put into context by way of a historical reference. “I can’t remember a couple of hours like these since the days of crack,” said a New York Post police source. UPDATE: Make that 48!
