the majority of the time when we were doing helicopter inserts the pilots never touched the ground at all. heck we were lucky if they slowed down or got within 10 feet of the ground :)

a badass pilot can overcome almost anything except extreme weather and catastrophic mechanical failure. those twin rotor helicopters are all getting quite elderly now. THAT'S that part that worries me most.

Y'know the coolest thing? I bet the pilot the of that Chinook looks back at that picture and says, "Oh, it was nothin'. Just doin' my job."

"Twilight' starlet Christian Serratos, 19, is the latest celeb to take her clothes off for PETA. Her TV credits include squeaky-clean shows like 'Hannah Montana,' 'Zoey 101' and '7th Heaven.' Christian's naked ad debuts in the walk-up to her new movie. 'The Twilight Saga: New Moon' opens November 20."

because they have a pseudo-science arm that uses lies and propaganda to scare people into not eating meat - and because they tend to be hypocrites, like holding stock in YUM, a holding company for many fast food chains they protest against - they do some good things to protect animals, but they also are full of shit a lot of times
- William Harryman
My guess is that meat-eaters and vegetarians will all die.
- Cristo
PETA is just a bunch of BS. Hate as well.

Another girl takes her clothes off. WHOOPTIE DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"convince people to not eat meat" I've never heard of someone not eating meat because of PETA. PETA did an amazing campaign raising awareness regarding fast food chains and the chicken raising industry, which resulted in increased standards. They targeted McDonalds, and therefore got a lot of visibility. It's ironic to me that you like the women photographed, but not their views- they weren't convinced by PETA, they were animal-rights fans to begin with.
- anna sauce
anna, does it really surprise you that men would like women nude, but not agree with all of their views? E.g. "No, that centerfold doesn't turn me on. I read that she has a pitbull, and I can't stand those dogs."
- Cristo
Cristo, I can dream, can't I? So for a bit of reversal- if an amazingly hot guy was dancing in front of me, but he was some right-wing nutjob, would I be turned on? Maybe? I'm not above that, just saying, and I *certainly* wouldn't blog about it. I'd be a wee bit embarrassed.
- anna sauce
I don't know if I'd blog about it, but I would comment on FriendFeed if I was in the mood. I don't see the problem with separating physical and emotional attraction.
- Cristo
But I have to say Harryman, despite hating PETA, is playing into their hands. They're exactly the demographic. Not crunchy feminist 30-something SF residents like me, no, but the men out there who have never given to PETA, and now they may if there's some hope of a calendar coming that doesn't have SportsIllustrated SwimSuit edition plastered over the cover and their wives can look at them lovingly and say, "You gave to PETA? Aw...."
- anna sauce
Also, she may be nude, but she's not naked. Not with her covering herself up and turning sideways. :)
- Cristo
"I've never heard of someone not eating meat because of PETA" - seriously? that is a major portion of their agenda - AND, I have a blog for serious stuff, and this ain't it - she's pretty, but PETA is full of crap half the time, so this just gave me an opportunity to say "PETA is full of crap half the time", which needs to be said from time to time - you (anna sauce) are making some serious assumptions about my character based on one posting
- William Harryman
"I hate PETA" ... that's a little different then "PETA is full of crap half the time," which I do agree with. Ha.

My first completed Best of Week drawing. Cecily was at the top a few weeks ago. I would have had this ready last week if it hadn't been for the fire. - http://kamilah.posterous.com/my-firs...
I posted them side by side for comparison. The new one is much larger than the sketch, and drawn with conte crayon, graphite, and a little pastel. The sketch looks a little more exaggerated now next to my more careful drawing, but it was only about 3x5". Next up is a drawing of jamar78 & Michelle Martinez's little boy, and possibly also Nicholas Kreidberg (if he still would like his. I lost track of him a little bit.)

Thank you, everyone, for the compliments, and also for being so supportive and being okay with me practicing on your images. I feel like I've finally got my art mojo back! I thought I'd lost it!

More wallpapers of Felicia available on Skins.be. Site is slightly NSFW (no nudity, but adult dating site ads and such).
- Jason Huebel

Felicia is adorably cute, of course, but if I actually used this for my wallpaper my 17 y.o. redheaded daughter would be extremely creeped out.
- Mark "DerBingle" J
heh, I don't use this as my wallpaper either, actually. I just liked the faces she was making in it. :-)
- Jason Huebel
if I actually used this for my wallpaper my wife would think i was over my "yellow fever" (which she instigated, being Chinese) and had gotten hooked on redheads again. :P
- Joe Silence is not Santa
I have no one to answer to and have a crazy crush on Felicia, therefore it *IS* my background. :D
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
LOL at Dead Silence. Not that I know who that is. :o

Good thing my kids weren't in my shop when I did a Google image search. :-P

OMG Jason - Whatever you do, don't do a video search on Bing, but if you do, make sure you don't hover over any of the results!! Not that I have any idea what would happen.
- Internet's Tad
Just to be clear for anyone still at work where they might be fired for viewing porn.. Evelyn Lin is a hard core porn star. NSFW.
- Jason Huebel
I wonder what the Bui Brothers think about this.
- Spidra Webster
I dunno. It is their photography. I doubt it was used legally. But aren't these shots publicity photos that Felicia distributes anyway? So they're kind of publicly available as it is?
- Jason Huebel
from IM
Sorry! I forgot people were still at work!
- Internet's Tad
@Tad, no problem. I just wanted to make sure we stated that. Disclaimery junk. :-)
- Jason Huebel
Honestly just wondering. They're pretty aggressive in branding their stuff.
- Spidra Webster
I don't really subscribe to the "well I would never have paid for these anyway" idea of your average digital pirate, but I would think that publicity shots are meant to be circulated around.
- Jason Huebel
They've stripped off the BUIBROTHERS stamp from the original and added skins.be.
- Glen Mistletoe
This is a compilation from the photoshoot, so the submitter likely removed it before Skins.be got ahold of it. So the submitter is wrong in this case, IMO.
