What is this fuckery??
Necro aka The Sexorcist - I Wanna Fuck!
Umm...is this real? I mean, at first when i seen it i thought it was a spoof. But i'm thinking this guy is for real. And i'm...speechless. A gang of ugly dudes and some low rent hoes (I'm sorry, but honey you're shaking your baby ass in a low budget video for some nobodies and letting them smack/bite/grab your ass...be proud.) man...this video is sure to be up for a VMA this year, no doubt.
A couple WTF pictures for you
Lance Bass x Adam Lambert??
(I'm so confused. I think i like this.)
Harriet The Spy tries sexy. Not sure how that's workin out for her.
(It's like dick in a box...except it doesn't really work for girls.)
Is Amber Rose gonna slip into her suit or armor soon?
(Kanye looks like such a creeper.)
K-Fed says depression led to becoming a fat ass
We've all seen them...the pictures that, when i seen them, i didn't even believe what i was seeing. I figured they had to be photoshopped. There was no way the thin ex-Justin Timberlake backup dancer could have gained THAT much weight. But no, it was real. And then i laughed. A lot. And wondered what his new, fit, volley ball player gf Victoria Prince thought of all the rolls. Turns out, poor Kevin was just eating his feelings. And by feelings i mean everything in sight. Kevin told People magazine how the struggles of everything going on in his very public life led to depression which then lead to overeating:
For Kevin Federline, the very public struggles came with a private pain, as his 2006 divorce from Britney Spears triggered depression and overeating.
"Once you get depressed, you don't really feel like doing anything," Federline, 31, tells Access Hollywood. "You're kind of discouraged about yourself and then the weight gain too, or that makes me more depressed. I mean, it's a combination of all of those things."
The difference for Federline was that his troubles played out on a public stage.
"Everybody knows what happened with me and Brit," he says. "I'm not going to say that's the total cause of it but, I mean, just not being happy with myself was probably the main part of my depression."
Now slimmed down thanks to his work on VH1's Celebrity Fit Club: Boot Camp, Federline says his life is turning around, and that he now can be friends with Spears, 28, with whom he has two boys.
"I think as time goes on, it keeps getting better and better and better," he tells Access Hollywood. "I mean, I'm really happy the way that my life is going right now, I really am. I think, you know, I have come a long way. All of us have…my whole family. It's gotten so much better from where we were."
With Spears touring again and her affairs under the control of her father, Federline says, "I'm really happy for her. I'm very happy for her."
I can't wait to see his fat ass get drilled by Harvey on Celebrity Fit Club. But i have to wonder, did he just gain the weight so he could have a reason to be on a reality show and making money? Isn't it sad that was my first thought? lol. Like maybe he heard they were going to be casting so he just bucked down and started eating and never stopped. Alllll for the money, baby! But either way...I'm glad, for the sake of his girlfriend (and yeah, i guess his health) that he lost that weight!
What I'm Listening To
"Gravity" by Sara Bareilles. LOVE this song. It's definitely something i can only listen to though when I'm feeling mellow. It hits a heart string, for sure.
And also, i love the new addition to my iPod Touch thanks to my buddy Mr. Ryan Loco. =)
WTF of the Day goes to...
This fucking weirdo! Why in the HELL would anyone wanna do this!?

I'm at a loss right now....
This Is It: OUT NOW!!
If you know me, you know i am a HUGE Michael Jackson fan. I loved that man to death. He is pretty much the reason i started dancing. And when he passed, i literally cried for days. You can say what you will, but i was heart broken. When they planned to release "This Is It" in theaters, i was ecstatic. But sadly, due to my busy schedule as a mother and a working slave...i wasn't able to see it in theaters. Again, i was heart broken. When they announced the release of the dvd...it was like the sun coming through the clouds! With a little extra boost of Vitamin D in the form of an hour of extra footage! And today, it is a glorious day! "This Is It" was released today on dvd and BluRay.
Per RollingStone.com:
The Michael Jackson concert rehearsal documentary This Is It is approaching the end of its theatrical run, but fans will only have to wait two months to bring the King of Pop to their home theater — the film’s DVD and Blu-ray will be released on January 26th, 2010. The bonuses on the This Is It DVD include an hour of additional footage not seen in theaters, two making-of documentaries and featurettes about the costuming, dancer auditions and memories of Jackson, Variety reports.
Best Buy has the dvd for $19.99 and the BluRay for $29.99 and a Best Buy Exclusive BluRay Version #2 which includes the Smooth Criminal the regular version doesn't have. Wal-Mart also has an exclusive Limited Edition 2-disc version you can't get anywhere else for $24.96. Regular dvd is $16.86 and BluRay $23.86. Target stores are selling the dvd for $15.99 and BluRay for $24.99. Guess no exclusives for them!
Get your copy today and experience the magic that is Michael Jackson!
Damn, Greg Oden!
Pulling a Jamie Foxx are we there, Greg?? When are famous people gonna realize that taking naked pictures of yourself on your phone, even if you don't send them to someone, is a bad idea?! Phones can get hacked easily. And if you do decide to send, you know damn well the other person will probably care more about the money they get for selling the pictures than getting off on them. Have you learned nothing from Vanessa Hudgens, Greg? Guess not. WorldStarHipHop.com has an exclusive video of the multiple leaked pictures. But really...that face!! Definitely not one of the best looking dudes out there. Not gonna lie, i might let him hit it. From the back though...so i don't have to see his face.
(Note: Video is NSFW! You've been warned.)
Mia Michaels to bring the flyness back to SYTYCD
Contemporary choreographer Mia Michaels is tapped to return to Fox's So You Think You Can Dance for it's 7th season. So far it's only confirmed that she is showing up to the city auditions. No word yet as to if she will come back to choreographing this season after she opted out of season 6.
This is by far the best thing that could happen to SYTYCD, in my opinion. Mia is my favorite choreographer on the show (2nd favorite over all after Wade Robson of course.) and for her to bring the hotness back...i'm all over it! If you aren't familiar with Mia or what she's done for the show, have a look:
And just cause he's a bad ass....my 2 favorite group routines Wade choreographed:
(Not the original from Season 2, but i like this better because he performed WITH them!)
On The Can
I'm not a person who is offended easily. And nothing is too off-color for me. Including bathroom banter. If i just took an amazing, 10lb shit...I'm gonna tell someone. If i have to piss, I'll announce it. If someone wants to play Battle Shits, it's so on! So, seriously females...let's sit down and have a chat. As much as i don't mind talking about what goes down when you're on the john, i don't wanna see it!
Take today, for example. I walk into the single-person bathroom we have here at work to take a leak and as I'm about to put the seat cover down i see a couple droplets on the seat. Thinking it might just be splash back from the toilet flushing, i take a closer look. Nope, it's yellow. What are you girls doing?? Getting up before you're done going or something?? Do you wipe AFTER you get up? I mean seriously. How do you manage to drip onto the seat? Even so, if you manage to do so WHY do you not wipe it off?! I make sure I pay attention to things like this but maybe i'm just anal. But i would definitely not feel good about leaving my mark on a toilet seat.
Today's lesson, ladies...pay attention when you're using the damn toilet. If you need to wipe it, wipe it. If you're squatting, watch where the hell your urethra is pointed. (Yes, it's possible. Just move your hips!) Common courtesy. Have some.
Get it gurrrrrl.
It just gives me a reason to use the term 'booty do'. Urban Dictionary that if you can't figure it out on your own.
10 Questions With...Lauren of Pride Clothing
A lot of people claim to represent LA, but none have taken it to the next level like Lauren and her brother Jason have with Pride Clothing. It all started with a basic concept; putting something together that YOU wanted to wear and being proud of the city you live & love. Since then the LA Pride has spread across the nation...hell, across the world. And Lauren is the badass female half of the duo that started it all. I personally love this girl, i think she's a sav. 10 Questions With... was originally started to put the spotlight on people i felt deserved some recognition; people like this woman right here. And she took some time out of her busy schedule to put in her 10 questions.
CLUSTERFUCK: Your clothing line represents so much more than just pride for your city, what do want people to think of when they see LA Pride?
LAUREN: To be honest it started out as a city thing.. everyone should have the
utmost respect for their city no matter where they're from & so on.. but
nowadays its PRIDE in all forms.. i see so many people on a day to day
basis that have no self respect no goals or aspirations to do anything in
their lives.. or a whole lot of "talkers" that arent really gettin' shit
done. if there was one think i wanted people to think of when they saw pride clothing it'd probably be to always stay proud. its YOUR life.. you choose how you wanna live it.
CF: Have you conquered sales to all 50 states? How many countries have
purchased Pride gear now?
L: YES!! we finally did... wyoming was our last one that took monthes.. such
a struggle!! & we've sold to about 30 different countries which is a good
feeling cause some of these places i've never even heard of which is
awesome! haha!
CF: Ever consider doing an SF Pride? =)
L: Of course!! this year we'll finally be bringing out more cities.. its
really important for me to make sure that i come correct for each city.. i
do a lot of research for finding the right idea for each city then it also
involves some travel and lastly finding the right artist from each city..
its a process but i think everyone will be really happy with what we have
instore for this year.. SFpride & NYpride comin' first though!
CF: You're all about females hustling and making their own money (which i definitely admire!), what advice do you give to girls out there trying to make their own way?
L: I'm all about the women hustlers out there cause its so hard for us these
days, but not cause of the reason most people think.. its not just cause
we're females in a male dominated world but there are so many bad females
out there makin' it harder for us. i'm what i like to call a new age
feminist, i'm not against men in the least.. i'm against females that
whore it around & have no self respect for themselves.. you wanna walk
around and act like a slut, you're going to get treated like one. I also
cant stand girls that live vicariously though their homeboys & other girl
friends makin' something of themselves.. you have to do something on your
own to get the respect you deserve! if there's any advice i have for girls
out there its dont take shit from anyone.. you can do anything you put
your mind to. starting your own business is very empowering & its
something that will always be yours & no one can take that from you.
CF: Is there anyone in the fashion industry that you admire?
L: Well.. i've been going to the fashion institute for years now so i've
realized i've gotten a lot of inspiration from a lot of different areas of
fashion.. when it comes to celebrity style i love michelle rodriguez, lady
gaga, & r&b singer cassies' style.. they have a very fuck the world kinda
style i dig.. when it comes to designers.. i've always loved karl
lagerfeld & if i had to pick one company i admire it'd probably be drop
dead clothing from england.. they're not my style in the least but they
always have amazing photoshoots that inspire me to push our photoshoots
harder..
CF: Is there anyone that you would like to collaborate with?
L: There's a lot of people i would love to collab with.. but i think one of
my top artists would be mike giant for the rebel 8 collabo. i really
admire what mike & joshy d. do with rebel 8, its an amazing company & i've
been a fan of mikes for way over 10 years now.
CF: What's coming up for Pride Clothing in the near future?
L: 2010 will bring... many new designs, new cities & collabos.. fitted hats..
sweatpants, socks, some home accessories like cups & pillows.. embroidered
swimsuits & jackets & also fingers crossed... cut&sew for fall2010. i dont
wanna give away too much so i'll leave you in suspense...
CF: When you and your brother started this all, did you ever think it would
blow up into what it is today?
L: Never. i just wanted to make stuff that i wanted to wear.. when we started
i didnt care if anyone wanted to wear anything.. i did it for me.. so its
cool now.. i'm forced to do it for others.. haha!
CF: What do you have to say to all the haters and copycats out there?
L: Hates a disease. get well soon bitches....
& for the copycats.. gimme a holler.. i got this thing called a seize & assist for you...
CF: Random: Favorite Family Guy moment?
L: ohhhh mannnnn thats mine & jasons fav! we repeat lines all day to the
point where people wanna slap us... i'd say i love any moment involving
bruce... "ohhhhhhhhhhh nooooooooo"
CF: Anything else you would like to add?
L: I would just like to add that you rock for asking questions i havent answered 1000 times before!! haha!! love you xo
We love you too, Lauren! Everyone make sure you get on top of looking fly as hell and get over to Pride's website and drop some cash. You can also add Pride on MySpace and follow the Twitter. It doesn't get anymore bad ass than this right here!

The Purple One releases song for the Purple Ones??
Prince has just recently released a new song called Purple & Gold. And you would think it would make sense, him being dubbed "The Purple One" and all. But no, it doesn't make sense. Prince wrote, recorded and released Purple & Gold for none other than the purple & gold...the Minnesota Vikings. Yes, the ones that ripped the Dallas Cowboys a new asshole. Via myfox9.com:
Prince has released a new song about the Minnesota Vikings, inspired by a big win over the Dallas Cowboys and days ahead of the NFC Championship game in New Orleans.
“I saw the future,” said Prince.
Prince was in attendance for the Vikings 34-3 win. He said he went home night after the Cowboys game and wrote the song, "Purple and Gold," which he says came easy and fast.
Interesting. Very interesting. If you know me, you know i love my Prince. But you may also know, i am NOT a Vikings fan. (GO NINERS!) More power to them, though. To have Prince of all people backing you, who the fuck am i to talk?! You can watch a video of the song below:
PS: LET'S GO SAINTS!!
PSS: Just thought i'd share; my daughter came home from school yesterday (pre-school) and told me she learned about Martin Luther King Jr. I asked her what she learned. Her response, "He just wanted everyone to get along. And he marched. Everyone marched. And then he used his big voice. That's all. He was a good man." Most. Precious. Thing. Ever!
What I'm Listening To
Robin Thicke ft. Nicki Minaj "Shakin It 4 Daddy". Not only is Robin Thicke sexy as hell, but his voice is almost hypnotic. And if he can put out something that makes you wanna shake that ass...i approve!
Shane Sparks' Pedophile Ass Replaced By....
If you haven't heard, America's Best Dance Crew judge Shane Sparks (pictured above) was arrested last month on child molestation charges. And the question on everyone's mind was, WHO THE HELL IS GONNA REPLACE HIM?? Rumors were circling of not fully replacing Shane, but bringing in a different guest judge every week. Well we can now put that rumor to rest and rejoice at what i can only think is Randy Jackson's delusional doing;
OMARION!
Yes sir. Replacing one midget ass, egotistical dancer dude with another. Ex-B2K front man and self-proclaimed "King of Dance" (WTF??) will be joining fellow ex-boy band member JC Chasez and his BFF Lil Bow Wow...oh I'm sorry, Lil Mama.
Via a press release:
Joining current judges Lil’ Mama and JC Chasez, Omarion — dubbed the “King of Dance — will make his debut as a judge on the fifth season, premiering on January 28th at 10 PM ET / PT on MTV. Omarion will judge dance crews from around the country on their creativity and ability on the popular dance competition show.
A professional dancer trained in tap, jazz, hip-hop and African dance, Omarion proved to be the perfect choice for the show. “I’m so excited to be a judge on MTV’s America’s Best Dance Crew,” says Omarion. “Dancing and performing is what I do and being a judge on this show will allow me to give creative feedback to the newest and hottest dancers on the rise.”
I already gave up on watching this show about half way through last season; so if the new crews suck half as much as this judging pick, i may have to quit all together.
Miranda Kerr naked in GQ. Also, the sky is blue.
The pictures I have seen of Miranda Kerr fully clothed honestly just don't look right to me. This girl should forever walk around in lingerie or fully nude. Clothes just aren't for her. In the latest issue of GQ, Miranda takes it all off again. The number of jealous women and meat-slapping men has now risen 10%.
She's just downright ridiculously gorgeous. More power to her.
Tickle your fancy.
I'm really excited about all of the fun stuff coming up in the next few weeks/month. Late February is definitely the most anticipated. I'll be working a very special photoshoot for the lovely Rad Creations with a very special photographer who is near and dear to both of us, Kelli Hayden. It's a pretty big deal and it's gonna be a super busy weekend; but road trips to LA and driving myself insane with deadlines and time crunches are a few things I'm very fond of. Also late February brings The Sleeping back around my way. I'll never turn down a chance to see those boys live.
So for the next few weeks or so I'll be busy sketching, testing, shopping, planning....everything but resting. I also plan on using my next free weekend to roam around the City and create an awesome photo post. Who doesn't like random pictures of shit in San Francisco?! And personally, I think SF has some of the best random shit to take pictures of. Also with that will be a post on my favorite spots in the City. For you out-of-towners who need a place to hit up when you're visiting my lovely, amazing city.
I love the rain, by the way. This 'storm' that's going on right now is pretty fucking cool actually. I love storms. I just hate having to sit in wet clothes for 3 hours. I hope everyone is being safe out there, though. A lot of people are driving like fucking maniacs still, so watch yourselves! And don't blow in away in the wind...we don't want that.
Ooooh BURN!
I had to laugh at this one. Check the caption under the picture of Mariah and her golden globes. Nice one, TMZ!

10 Questions With...Ryan Loco
A certified Jack of all trades...or something like that. He's left his mark on whatever part of the MMA world he could get his multi-tasking hands on. A writer for FIGHT! Magazine, co-host of Tapout Radio, working for Jaco Clothing and star of his own amazing video blogs: The Loco Life; Ryan Loco is really making a name for himself more than ever. Not to mention a hit with the Twitter community and recently releasing his own t-shirts. Yet somehow with all that going on, he still managed to make some time for yours truly.
CLUSTERFUCK: You hold quite a few job titles, which is your favorite?
RYAN LOCO: Hmm...I'd say being good at doing nothing. I don't know if that is an official job title. But as I always say, I don't know what it is I do, I just know that no one does it better. :)
CF: Was writing always something you wanted to do? Or did you just kind of fall into it?
RL: I was just always a good writer. I was the guy who would wait to wrte a 10 page paper until the night before, and then ace it no problem. It's hard for me to get into the writing mood, unless there is a deadline. I live for hectic countdowns.
CF: Why did you decide to cut all that beautiful hair off?
RL: I like to change it up all the time. That way, people won't get comfortable with me, I'm always switching the game up.
CF: Do you EVER make your bed??
RL: Heck no. I'm gonna go back to sleep in it anyways, why get it all pretty? I also don't untie my shoes when I take them off.
CF: Favorite perk of your job(s)?
RL: Getting to interact with people from all over the world and all walks of life. I love it, I'm a people person. Oh, and the chicks.
CF: Would you consider doing all forthcoming Loco Life videos shirtless? Please? =)
RL: haha, I'll make some calls to the higher ups and see what I can do. I need a tan first :(
CF: What made you start video blogging?
RL: I realized that I get to do a lot of fun stuff, I should document it so that when I'm old and gray, I can look back on it like an episode of the Wonder Years. But I am a way hotter Fred Savage.
CF: Is there anything else you would like to add to your continuously growing job list in the near future?
RL: The Queen of England would actually be a fun job. But I think you have to know people. It's all politics.
CF: What are you most proud of having accomplished?
RL: Actually finishing this interview and not forgetting! I'm such a forgetful bum. :(
CF: Mayweather or Pacquiao?
RL: Either or, I just want to see a good fight. And it seems like we will never see it.
Don't worry Ryan, I forgive you. And I'm sure you'd make a great queen once you get your foot in the door!
If you don't know enough about this awesome, and very good looking, guy...get on it! Check out his website RyanLoco.com and make sure to spend time watching ALL of the Loco Life videos! You know you don't have anything better to do. And for further entertainment, follow Mr. Loco on Twitter @RyanLoco!

Delay of Game
Sorry for the lack of updates, guys. I was busy having an awesome weekend with my BFF and a reunion with some old friends that was LONG over due! Which was followed by some gnarly food poisoning or something that kept me half-dead all day Sunday. Not fun. Especially when my dad comes down to visit and take me out to lunch and i can't even eat. =( Yes, i was pretty fuckin sad.
Also, 10 Questions With... is being rescheduled for tomorrow in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King's birthday. .....Ok, that's a lie. It's because none of these fucking computers in the house want to work with me today and I'm not in the mood to deal with them. But once i get on a computer tomorrow, shit will be posted RIGHT AWAY!
Hope everyone had a great weekend and for all of us dealing with this shitty ass weather in Cali, stay dry and stay safe!
What I'm Listening To
Another new segment i call "What I'm Listening To". I'll feature it....eh, whenever i damn well feel like it. Here we go here's the first!
That would be "Crazy Bitch" by Buckcherry from their album 15. Almost like a theme song for myself, i feel.
Femininity 101
If there are classes on how to be a girl, I would like to know please. I have come to notice i have a real hard time with that. I was definitely a tomboy growing up, but as i got older i felt i had grown into being a woman. I was wrong. I know everyone's gonna say "Well it's 2010 and we don't have to behave by society standards," and you're damn right! But I'm just saying...there are certain things girls do that i just can't get into.
For example;
1. Yesterday i had on peep-toe booties (see, i can dress like a girl), but i realized i hadn't painted my toe nails nor taken off the chipped polish that's been there for months. I grabbed a cheap bottle of black nail polish at the store across the street and proceeded to paint my toe nails. Except i only painted the ones that were showing.
2. While i was working on my car not only did i pretty much rip a good 2in x 3in section of skin off my arm and bruise the shit out of it, but i went back inside and forgot to wash my hands immediately. Forgetting i had oil and other black shit all over my fingers i wiped my hand down the front of my white tank top. I said fuck it and left it like that.
3. I can NOT sit with my legs crossed. If I'm ever wearing a dress or skirt, (which i rarely do anyway) i always forget and end up sitting with my legs spread out across the chair or whatever i happen to be sitting in. I honestly just think it's much easier to not cross your legs.
4. I burp louder than any guy i know. Holding it in hurts, ok? Gotta let it out!
5. A lot of the time i eat with my hands. If i can pick it up, it doesn't need a spoon/fork. If i lived alone i would never have dirty silverware.
Now that I'm re-reading this, i think i just may be lazy and/or gross. Meh...oh well.
Less hot footballer tries to out-do Mr. Beckham
Cristiano Ronaldo; currently playing as a winger for Real Madrid (that's soccer for those of you non-sports fans) and the most expensive player in the games history, was picked up as Emporio Armani's latest piece of man meat. Sporting nothing but a pair of tighty-whities, some of his ads were released recently and while i'm sure they are definitely drool-worthy, they don't compare to his Milan counterpart Mr. David Beckham. David Beckham had his own spread of Armani undergarment photos a short while back, and well...i'll just leave it up to you guys to decide who wore the banana hammock better.
Cristian Ronaldo
David Beckham
I wish one of them would pull a Mia Hamm on the field, except with their shorts.
Oh, Texas.
"We don't care if you wave a gun around, but god damnit keep your kid's hair cut!"
Really, Texas?
A 4-year-old boy was suspended from his Pre-K school when his parents chose not to adhere to the a request by the school's principal for the child's hair to be cut; per the school district's dress code. Young Taylor Pugh was suspended for wanting to keep his pretty little mane just the way it was.
Via KFOX14:
According to the district dress code, boys' hair must be kept out of the eyes and cannot extend below the bottom of earlobes or over the collar of a dress shirt. Hairstyles "designed to attract attention to the individual or to disrupt the orderly conduct of the classroom or campus (are) not permitted," the policy states.
The district is known for standing tough on its dress code. Earlier this year, a seventh-grader in the district was sent home for wearing black skinny pants. His parents chose to home-school him.
On its Web site, the district defends its code, saying "students who dress and groom themselves neatly, and in an acceptable and appropriate manner, are more likely to become constructive members of the society in which we live."
Now seriously, for anyone who thinks that the way your hair looks is going to affect how much of a 'constructive member of society' you will be...i would like you to take a look at some examples.
Example #1: DMX
Now, his head is shaved. Very clean. He even has on a collared shirt. But mind you, this is a mug shot. Not a very constructive member of society, now is he? Besides giving us bad ass party anthems like Party Up, that is.
Example #2: Sir Richard Branson
Besides being the billionaire owner of the Virgin franchise, Sir Branson also sports a mane of untamed locks. Along with the occasional caveman beard. He has funded groups of humanitarians that include the likes of Nelson Mandela as well as done countless charitable work in South Africa of his own. Not to mention bring us the first commercial spaceship! He also likes to walk around barefoot. Constructive member of society? You tell me.
Dress codes always made me a little angry. Case in point; shit like this. Let the kids keep their hair however the hell they want it. As long as they're not hiding guns in it, i think they'll be ok.
10 Questions With...Funny Man of Hollywood Undead
His band has sold over 500,000 albums, certifying them gold earlier in 2009. He's hit the stage on multiple sold-out, headlining tours with bands like Atreyu and Senses Fail. You know him as the sexy baritone lyricist of Hollywood Undead; and he was nice enough to sit down and play 10 questions with me. 
CLUSTERFUCK: I know you're an avid photographer, (and a very good one at that!) when did you start getting into photography?
FUNNY MAN: who me?!?! that was a long time ago. i don't fuck around anymore, nothing really motivates me anymore to go out and explore with a cam. but if i see something interesting, eh i might take a few days
CF: Which tour was more fun for you; Saints & Sinners, TCB or Vatos Locos?
FM: i liked all 3 of them! those last 3 were some of the best times of my life
CF: After touring almost non-stop since late last year, it seems you're finally taking some much needed real time off from the road. Are you enjoying it or itching to get back out?
FM: i'm enjoying it :)
CF: Besides photography, and music obviously, what do you like to do with your time?
FM: work out and get buff
CF: Are you finally growing back your hair or are you going to keep it short?
FM: growing it
CF: Is there anything you dislike about being in a band?
FM: nada
CF: Does it make it harder considering there are so many of you in the band, or does it make things more fun?
FM: it makes things so much fun!!!
CF: If you weren't involved with Hollywood Undead, what would you be doing?
FM: tryin to figure out what am i going to do with my life, so i feel pretty fortunate enough to be in this band, hehe:)
CF: A couple of the other guys are going in on a clothing line, do you ever plan on doing anything like that?
FM: yeeeah ima start a car wash
CF: Top music pick of 2009? (And Hollywood Undead doesn't count!)
FM: snoop dogg gangsta love feat. the dream
CF: Anything else you would like to say?
FM: SUCK IT!!!!!!!
I'll make sure to hit you up for a wash and wax in 2010, Funny!
If you haven't yet (what is wrong with you?!), go grab yourself a copy of Hollywood Undead's debut album Swan Songs. While you're at it pick up their recently released dvd/cd combo Desperate Measures and catch Funny Man and the rest of the guys in all their live glory. You might even see yours truly making an appearance.
Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman?
Now I'm usually the first to say "Stop blaming celebrities for your children doing bad things." For the most part it's definitely up to the parents to set boundaries and tell their children what is right and wrong and not let some person on television tell your child what to do. But then there are cases like Miley Cyrus. Having a 4-year old daughter myself who happens to enjoy her music and Hannah Montana, i have to say i don't like the bitch. She's barely 17 years old prancing around on stage like so:
I know, i know. Plenty of pop singers do it. But this girl, she's not even 18 yet. And you know her crowd is full of young girls who really look up to her. She can't think that its ok for these girls to see her running around flipping her hair and bent over shaking her ass, can she? Obviously, she can. I can tell my daughter as much as i want that that isn't how you should act, and she'll listen. But i shouldn't even have a reason to have to tell my daughter not to look up to the young girl on tv she thinks so highly of. It might be different if Miley were an adult and she didn't grow up on television. But she did. And i know she's trying to rid herself of the whole Hannah thing, but honey, alienating your biggest fans isn't the way to go. Even my little 9 year old sister has said she doesn't like her anymore. And when she seen the video above she asked me, "Why is she dancing like that?" I couldn't answer her. I can't think of a comprehensible reason as to why a 17 year old would be bent over shaking her ass or grinding on a pole or down on her knees thrusting the floor. Someone please explain this to me.
Shame on me.
Apologies for the lack of updates for you few readers i have. As i said before i am sans laptop or any kind of computer at home since my laptop went to shit. So my only form of internet connection is while I'm at work. We've been so swamped lately i haven't had time to even think let alone think and put it in blog form. But rest assured updates will be coming in, if not today, then in the coming days. And stay tuned for another very special "10 Questions With..." next week with a humorous dude you may have heard of. Definitely a personal favorite of mine. Check back often!
10 Questions With...Apey of Rad Creations
You may not know who she is yet; but believe me, you WILL! A dynamic talent, this San Francisco born girl is bringing in the cash flow with some of the most amazing displays of frosting use you've ever seen. Who knew fondant could look as good as it tastes? Not afraid to tackle any challenge, she wins over anyone who comes upon her work. She's even baked pieces for several bands and companies. Can't forget an extremely RAD creation that will be featured in a music video for Hopie Spitshard's single, "Yummy" (http://hopiespitshard.com/site/). ; She's Rad Creations mastermind, and my BFF, Apey!
CLUSTERFUCK: What inspires you to do what you do?
APEY: There are so many different things that inspire me. It can range from just an idea that pops into my head, something creative that I've never done before, to the excitement for another person's idea just waiting to come to life.
CF: What are your top 3 favorite cakes you've done this year?
A: I thought this would be a fairly easy question, but it's not ... Definitely my top favorite is the "Praying for LA" cake. It was based on a design by Pride Clothing (www.showsompride.com). 
My second favorite is a "Tattoo" inspired cake (DC Tattoos), which was scattered with chocolate images of the tattoos on my right sleeve. And third, I'm torn on having to choose from a cake I'm proud of because of the outcome, or something that was really fun working on. If I had to pick (FUN), it'd be a tie between a Domo cake or the Ninja Turtles. If I had to pick (PROUD-OF), it'd be the Hennessy or Graduation cake (Textbooks, Grad cap, Diploma, Pencils, etc).
CF: Do you have a least favorite item from your menu?
A: In all honesty, the least favorite cake/cupcake to make is Red Velvet. I know it's a favorite for a lot of people, but I myself just can't find the appeal of it.
CF: Is there a design or concept you would ever turn down?
A: Not really. I'm very open to all sorts of designs and concepts, given that I have plenty of time to work it out.
CF: Do you ever think about expanding your business and including other areas other than the Bay Area?
A: Currently, I do expand to other areas, via the Postal Service. Unfortunately, that's only limited to mini cupcakes.
CF: You've done a lot of work for bands, which is your favorite creation you've done for a band?
A: All of them have a "favorite" aspect, but I would say that I've made more creations for Hollywood Undead, than any other band. 
Of all the Hollywood Undead creations I made, my favorite would have to be the cupcakes with their cartoon-like version of their masks. Who doesn't like cartoons?
CF: Do you plan on opening your own bakery? If so, where?
A: That is the ultimate goal and the idea would to have it based in more than one location. But first thing's first, it would be based in the Peninsula (primarily SSF).
CF: How did you get started in all of this?
A: This would be one of the few times being bored and curious resulted into something good. I've always loved finding many different ways of being artistic, but for some reason, cake decorating just happens to be the one thing I have never lost interest in, so I stuck with it.
CF: Be honest, have you ever wanted to strangle one of your customers?
A: Ideally, you're supposed to say no, but I won't lie. Yes, a few times, which most of the time they were very closed minded, and VERY indecisive. They have no idea all the work that goes into preparing what they've ordered.
CF: If you could pick anyone in any industry to collaborate (doesn't have to necessarily be in the baking industry..) with on a project, who would you choose?
A: Hmm, I'm currently in the process of scheming up a plan to collaborate with a dear friend of mine right now, but distance is the enemy. Eventually, all the details of that will be shared on my blog. But for the future, I would like to work with a non-profit organization, either helping out kids or animals in need (i.e. PETA, SPCA, or Share Our Streghth-End Child Hunger). I have a HUGE heart for kids and animals, and they don't normally have a voice or anyone to help them speak in this world.
CF: Any last words for the readers??
A: Hmmm, just spread the word, place your orders, be creative, and always have an open mind.
Check her out at http://www.ApeyisRad.com. And if you're in the San Francisco Bay Area, what are you waiting for?! Start ordering! Even if you're outside of the Bay, anywhere in the country, place an order for mini cupcakes of your choosing to be shipped directly to your door. Make your life just that much sweeter. ;)
