Badlands! Good times!

Dai Gurren Brigade confronted by angry moms in Cheltenham on Sunday

Kristy, Sheena and yours truly had brazenly braved the cold weather of Caledon in our oh-so-conservative costumes to do a shoot with the consummate photographer Kevin a.k.a Solar Tempest and his versatile (and adorable) flash stand Sakura.

Within minutes of arriving at the locale, we were accosted by a pair of soccer moms who were thrilled to have us share the lovely Sunday afternoon with them and their prepubescent children.

Mind you, these bright younglings were fascinated by our garish costumes and most importantly, are the future. They will probably one day walk the path of a Cosplayer or turn out to be gay to spite their judgemental mothers. These children sat together and watched us with unspoken understanding, without ever taking any penis-oriented action like, whipping out their cellphones to try and snap a pic of Yoko in all her glory.

No! The mother squad, while bearing the best of intention I'm sure, had essentially tried to bully us into leaving the locale. Christ! It's not like we were getting blotto or smoking pot! The pair chastised us and shunned us with their scathing, self-righteous blunders; all done with such bitter class and lip-service civility:
"....If this is what you do as a hobby you are wasting your time! Please leave! Thanks!"
-Some Lady

My question is this, in this lame tableau to evict us from Nature, were they truly trying to shield their children from us or their husbands jerking off in the bushes? Guess we'll never want to know...

Upon Arrival....



Stay back! I want to get enough boobs in this shot!

















It's a chest-off!!






















Yoko and her bush...

I still function!!!

Back for another scant update, but a REAL one nonetheless! (C'mon! Twitter can't ever dethrone the meager posts up in here!)

Lately, I've been keeping myself busy with a number of things:
  • Painting a TTGL poster.
  • playing No More Heroes on the Wii
  • Collecting numerous Revoltech figures.
  • Hitting the Gym
  • Napping (getting pretty good at it)
  • Lay in bed and watch DVDs
Earlier today in the can, I read something interesting on the BBC news site, and it's NOT about the financial crisis. It's the new Nintendo DS or DSi!!

WUT? New Nintendo DS??This revamped version of DS or better known as DSi will be out this November in Japan. Though no word on when this slick shit is coming to Canada.

This nifty mark two is better, faster, sexier and well-endowed with a BIGGER....screen, a digicam and a music player. At the moment, this camera enables you to edit your pictures with an Oekaki-like software, so you could draw tenacious tentacles or shadow-cocks on your friends' face. After all, isn't that what everyone wants?

Personally, as a digital artist, I hope a better painting software will be available in the near future for me and my kind to do colour sketches on the go.

Nintendo's latest gambit is armed to oust Sony's PSP and its impeccable sales record that consumed Japan and well, pretty much every where. Of course, appeasing the mass of loyal DS fans out there is at the heart of their objective......i think.

So who wants to be a pawn in this epic Mini-console war? I know I do!
