Below are Marco, La Negra, Natalia, and Santa Gabriela. Martin Del Pozo was there to take pictures — more continue after the break.

    So iam:writingonthewalls thinks he’s the coolest (Evan agrees) with his 11mm tongue piercing and his “Blue Bella” drink while partying in Bali, Indonesia… My friend Oleg from Russia (check out his BME/HARD gallery for loads more), begs to differ, and invites them both over for a drink — his photo is after the break.
