A Bubble, A Shadow, A Drop of Dew

Written by

Jordan Ginsberg

Good day, ladies and gentlemen! Let’s get the ball rolling with ModBlog royalty Ferdudurke (more, more, more), who is courageously checking in from the middle of, hmm, a terrible lightning storm? A lightsaber battle? Some sort of drug-fueled “rave” party that all the kids are going to these days? Whatever it is, we thank our friend from Moscow for having the decency to wait until he had grown that fancy mustache before checking in. Much obliged, good sir.

And just like that, ModBloggers, we’ve got ourselves a Tuesday. Hold me uptight, let me breathe now, etc.

BME Shop is holding a 20-percent-off sale on most items this week until midnight on Thursday, July 16! Click here for details.

Leave Things The Way You Found Them

Written by

Jordan Ginsberg

Hoo boy, this guy? This guy is just a mountain of a man. You know all the stories that have been alternately told throughout the years about Bill Brasky/Vin Diesel/Chuck Norris/Angela Lansbury/etc.? Every time those various feats of strength and hilarity were told, the storyteller was thinking about this man. True story.

There’s No Here

Written by

Jordan Ginsberg

Well kiddies, let’s knock off today with this handsome shot of Brian, hanging out in the shade, beaming out a cold, hard stare. Don’t try to look away. The stare will find you. Would the stare be any good at what it does if it couldn’t find you? No. No it would not.

Sleep on that, ModBloggers. We’ll see you tomorrow.

Oh, You Men

Written by

Jordan Ginsberg

Oh look, it’s Lucas! We feature his lovely wife, Anna, on here so frequently that it’s easy to forget that she’s just one half of one hell of a good-looking couple. In this photo, he’s sporting a set of skin-divers in his forehead just recently put in place by the aforementioned Anna. Hey, you know what they say about the couple that plays together.

After the jump, continuing on with yesterday’s BME Hollywood Exclusive featuring the Twilight gang, we have a never before seen still from the currently in-production Kevin Smith film, A Couple of Dicks. Excited? Get excited.

The Way You Look At Me When You’re Hunted

Written by

Jordan Ginsberg

Let’s wrap things up today with this chilling shot of Jenya being attacked by some sort of carnivorous argyle bird (“Mark” is its name, apparently). Some reports indicate it may be more of a symbiotic relationship, as with the small birds that eat out of the teeth of hippopotami, but we prefer to believe it’s something far more…sinister. (Because we’re jerks.)

Until tomorrow, ModBloggers.

Kissed Into Smiles Again

Written by

Jordan Ginsberg

Hot damn—between his huge lip plate and stretched medusa, Jenya has altered his appearance more radically than many other people that we’ve seen, but I swear, I don’t know if anybody looks giddier and more satisfied with his appearance on a consistent basis than he does. I say it every time, but Russians, man…hearty stock and all that.

After the jump, his lip without the jewelry.

The Connoisseur’s Connoisseur

Written by

Jordan Ginsberg

Continuing our wholly half-assed St. Patrick’s Day theme, how about this handsome young Russian gent wearing green, right? No doubt it was intentional, and not something I’m co-opting for my own lame purposes! Really though, I’m almost always a fan of Teflon (or other such white jewelry) in big stretched piercings, and ol’ blue eyes up there is certainly no exception.

“I’m Full of Tricks”

Written by

Jordan Ginsberg

Hey, it’s our old friend Pauly! Been a while since we’ve seen him around these parts, and apparently, he has some sort of fleshy alien creature living on his face, devouring his life force. The harder he tries to pull it off, the larger it grows. These parasitic space monsters have no class whatsoever.

(Sorry for the late start today—again. It’s been a bad week for technology at the Ginsberg residence. I’ll not make a habit of this tomfoolery.)

I Want You to Notice When I’m Not Around

Written by

Jordan Ginsberg

Well hey, here’s a fine young man with a whole lot of gold jewelry! I’m actually not crazy about gold when it’s not being worn as body jewelry, but it’s such a relative rarity in piercings that it’s usually a pleasant surprise.

An additional, tusky shot, after the jump.

Do You Want to Know How I Got These Scars?

Ferdudurke looks upset. And you know why? Because nine out of 10 kitchen accidents like this are avoidable, that’s why.
