So, last year i posted girls in bikinis behind glass windows and it got 2400 hits, even though they were mannequins they still got a lot of hits and some of my better more interesting shots got around 1/4 of that amount, around 650, so i believe that people are interested not in the pictures but in the titles. very interesting analysis. sex sells. violence then also sells because most of the movies today deal with extreme and outlandish, makebelieve violence, so why are we as a nation so concerned about all the murders and rapes that...

Bushwick Botanica

author: upfromflames : Brooklyn, NY

As a community in constant transformation, Bushwick brings together man diverse cultural elements into one heady mix. The contrast is at its most exotic and unfamiliar in Botanicas. Botanicas are generally religious supply shops where you can buy items for use in the practice of Santeria.

Windows Health Care

author: EvilGentleman : Montreal, QC

My memories of life in this city are often centered around major events in my life, both good and bad. I think it is this way for most of us. For this reason, a lot of what I recall comes from the hospitals where I go when I or a loved one become ill. Although I was born in a hospital in a farm town in Nova Scotia, it is the hospitals of the Montreal and Winnipeg areas that I have had the most experiences with. Now, I believe most Americans will be somewhat surprised to discover that health care in Canada is...

I was at a party the other night and another guest remarked that he was showing an apartment and that all the potential tenants were young women and they were ALL blonde. How could that be? Hmmm. Below, the incredible...
