Meet Mr. Man and his Celebrity Friends

Mr. Man

Since the waning days of the 20th Century, Mr. Skin has been cataloguing the appearance of female nudity in feature movies and television shows whether mainstream, cult, classic, foreign, or contemporary. Mr. Skin’s smiling visage has been seen and discussed on the radio shows of Howard Stern, Tom Leykis, and Adam Corolla and the site was even a plot-point in Judd Apatow’s 2007 comedy smash Knocked Up. With the website now receiving seven million visitors monthly, what frontier could possibly be left to conquer for this, the most talked about celebrity nude publication of all time.

In a word? Men.

Alexander Skarsgård, Johnny Depp, Matt Damon… These are the Hollywood hunks your girlfriend (and probably mother) get all gooey over, and while they’ve certainly bared their bodies in various ways throughout their careers, those fond of ogling the male form have had to resort to all-night marathon viewing sessions of dozens of movies, many of them ultimately forgettable, just to see said hunky forms for themselves. No longer! Doing for male celebs what Mr. Skin did for females, Mr. Man recently opened its doors to members and curious onlookers both. But, as the tour pages and promos say, “Members see every last inch.”

From Ewan McGregor’s full frontal appearance in Velvet Goldmine to a playlist entitled 6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon (and teased with a pic of his taut buns); from the twinky early photoshoots of Joseph Gordon-Levitt to macho-man Mark Wahlberg’s half-dozen nude scenes in everything from Boogie Nights (natch) to The Corruptor; Mr. Man has every drool-worthy display of celebrity man-meat you desire… and, quite frankly, a few you probably don’t. (Ray Wise, anyone? Anyone?)

Vivid Live to Open in Miami

Vivid Live Miami

Vivid Entertainment has been pushing even further into the mainstream media of late, thanks in part to the company’s continued devotion to releasing celebrity sex tapes. Now the LA-based adult entertainment empire is launching a new endeavor: a 30,000 square foot Miami nightclub that’s due to open the weekend of September 13th.

According to the Miami New Times, Vivid Live is an upscale gentleman’s club that includes 22 VIP suites, four “extra-exclusive luxury suites” (whatever they are), a cutting-edge sound system, 20-foot-projector screens, and 40 HD plasma TVs showing every sporting event imaginable. (Though why you’d visit a strip club for fight night is beyond me.) Smashing the proverbial champagne bottle on this new Vivid endeavor is none other than pornstar-denier Farrah Abraham of MTV’s Teen Mom and best-selling Vivid sex tape ‘Farrah Abraham: Backdoor Teen Mom’, who hosts the opening night party (and complimentary seafood feast). The following night sees another two sex tape stars take up hosting duties: Myla Sinanaj (former girlfriend of NBA star Kris Humphries and rival of Kim Kardashian) and Sydney Leathers, “cyber-mistress” of New York City mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner. Those with a professional connection to the club – including press, VIPs, and industry affiliates – are clearly winning, though, as their September 12th invitation-only event is set to be hosted by none other than Tera Patrick.

Those behind Vivid Live are still looking for female talent to work their magic onstage in a “safe and friendly upscale atmosphere”. So, lusty ladies of Miami, polish off your pom poms for that saucy cheerleader routine and show the world’s leading adult studio why you deserve a moment in the spotlight.

And, guys, be sure to visit the club’s official website to RSVP for complimentary opening weekend admission. Spots are sure to fill up fast, so act quickly or you’ll be left watching the big fight at a local bar with no jiggling titties or flying dollar bills in sight.

Tanya Tate: Superhero

Tanya Tate

We all know (and presumably are attracted to) Tanya Tate, right? She’s that dynamite blonde Liverpudlian who recently branched out from performing in adult films to directing adult films (Tanya Tate’s Runaways and Tanya Tate’s Tea & Muffin Party, anyone?), and the latest in a continuing line of adult performers immortalized in comic book superhero form. After Pamela Anderson’s and Stan Lee’s Stripperella, Penthouse Comix, and numerous “parody” publications filled with explicit Fantastic Four-ways comes Tate’s very own creation, Lady Titan launching this weekend at San Diego Comic Con.

After building a thriving fanbase with her combined careers in hardcore porn and cosplay modeling – the latter sending many geeks plotzing with her renditions of Emma Frost, a foxy female Green Lantern, Catwoman (the Julie Newmar version), Black Canary, and She-Ra – Tate now moves more directly into the world of genetic mutations, freak biological accidents, villainous monsters, and caped crusaders of justice. And she’s doing it at the world’s annual comic-fan clusterfuck: San Diego Comic Con 2013.

Created with artist Mikel Harvey and colorist Simon Gough, Tate’s titular heroine has an origin steeped in live-action superhero television lore. Lady Titan begins as an out-of-work actress finds her recently acquired vintage costume outfits her with the powers of the 70’s TV superhero that once wore it onscreen. Tate boasted, “The character herself is not a ‘Superhero’ but someone thrust into that role; partly because of her sense of what’s right, but also her own survival. I think readers will have fun with Lady Titan.”

Tate will be appearing at Geekscape’s booth (#3919) at Comic Con all weekend, so if you’re in San Diego for the festivities, be sure to stop by and check out Lady Titan in flesh, in print, and in limited edition 11×17 poster form (autographed by the lady herself, of course).

A Cleavage Identi-Kit

Boobs can be confusing and you don’t even need to see that much of them to find yourself bewildered beyond belief. If you fancy yourself something of a breast aficionado, though, put yourself to the test and name for me the following four styles of revealing boob-dressing.

Boobs

If you answered 1. Cleavage, 2. Innerboob, 3. Sideboob, and 4. Underboob, you’re either an expert on female decolletage, wherever it falls, or an avid reader of pseudo-feminist popculture blog Jezebel. In an article entitled “Beyond Cleavage: The Golden Age of Innerboob, Sideboob, & Underboob” writer Katie Dries defines the above terms for today’s modern woman. (Well, and for us dudes who totally didn’t know these terms before their girlfriends or anything…)

Jezebel attempts to categorize all kinds of exposure in Dries’ piece, but uses familiar images of Liz Taylor (cleavage), Miley Cyrus (innerboob), Lindsay Lohan (sideboob), and even bootylicious Beyonce (underboob) to curry her readers’ approbation in the comments; and, of course, to provide some eye candy, too! She even points out a few choice places to find your preferred means of semi-boob ogling, whether you’re an inner-man or a under-guy or a classicist who prefers to ogle from above.

“What is the next big boob trend?” Jezebel asks in closing, “Topboob? Full-on nipple boob?” Whatever it is, color me interested.
