Unite NY Juneteenth March – 6.19.20

Yesterday was Juneteenth, a holiday celebrating the day that slavery was outlawed in Texas. Slavery was still legal in the United States until the 13th amendment was ratified in December of 1965 but Texas was the first state to celebrate the end of slavery as a state holiday. (Of course slavery is still legal as a means of punishment and if you somehow haven’t seen it yet, The 13th is free on YouTube and is required watching.) The holiday was celebrated yesterday with Black Lives Matter protests being held across the country. I decided to march with Unite NY, a march featuring organizers from a bunch of different groups working together to throw a huge rally that marched from Brooklyn, across the Brooklyn Bridge and then north up to Central Park in Manhattan.

The group featured Justice For George NYC (probably the best Instagram for finding out where protests are happening in NYC), Black Lives Matter, McCarren March (who I marched with the other night), Riders 4 Rights, a group of bicyclists who help block traffic and support protests, and I believe some other groups but I am not actually sure all the details. As one of the organizers said yesterday, it’s not about any one person or group, but the voice of the people.

I joined the march at City Hall in lower Manhattan on just the other side of the Brooklyn Bridge. I was running late so I couldn’t make the meet up at Camden Plaza but after walking in circles a bit trying to find them I finally made it and walked with the march from the Lower East Side up to Radio City Music Hall. The march continued on until Central Park but the foot that I injured in the very first protest I went to was killing me and I had to call it a day. 

The march was really amazing and hopeful and it was great to see the huge amount of diversity in the crowd. I photographed the 90 year old wedding cake icon Sylvia Weinstock and a little kid marching with a NYPD EAT MY SHORTS sign. Every race and religion was represented from the Sikhs passing out food at City Hall to the Muslim women marching near the front. At every protest I have been very impressed with the gay community using these events to celebrate Pride month in solidarity with the black community and this march was no exception. Seeing thousands of people coming together gives you so much hope for the future even when things seem so bleak. 

One of the most impactful moments of the march was everyone taking a knee at Bryant Park. As everyone kneeled I could look down 6th Ave and it was just protesters as far as the eye could see all kneeling in silence. One of the organizers read the names of dozens of black people killed and everyone repeated their names. Part of Martin Luther King’s I Have A Dream speech was played after that on speakers and the march continued. 

The only real negative that I could say about the protest was that as it got later in the day a lot of people were taking off their masks. In all of the protests I have been to so far I think I saw less than 10 people without masks and I saw dozens yesterday. The vast majority of people still had their masks on throughout but a couple of times I got caught near people loudly chanting along without their masks on which risks the lives of everyone around them. And I think part of that was unfortunately the group’s leadership, several of whom were not wearing masks the entire time. I get pulling your mask down when you are speaking on the microphone, but having it off the whole time sets a bad example to the crowd. It also means that these photos of the front of the march, which are the most likely to be featured in the media, will feature protesters without masks which I think detracts from the movement. They flyer for the rally specifically told people to wear their masks and I wish the organizers did more to encourage people to keep their masks on during the rally. It’s because of this that I am going to do my best to self quarantine for the next two weeks which means I can’t cover more of these protests for a while.

Okay, enough complaining, the march was a huge success and I am so proud to be able to have been part of that. If you have ever asked yourself would you have been part of the Civil Rights movement, you have your answer. Are you protesting? Are you part of this? I hope so. Keep it going.

Fuck It, I Have An OnlyFans Now

A few months ago I had this idea to make an OnlyFans from all the random videos I have in my phone of behind the scenes stuff from photo shoots. Unfortunately it took forever to get my OF approved because it’s really designed for a single person and I had to submit a ton of release forms and IDs for people who don’t already have accounts. It was a whole ordeal and I finally got approved about two weeks ago. I didn’t feel with everything going on in the world that it was a great idea to be promoting anything so I held off for a while.

I have however been updating my account for about a week and that seems like enough stuff on there to at least start giving you content. So we have officially launched. Go sign up for my OnlyFans now. It’s gonna be $4.99 for the time being although I will eventually raise that price once there is a bunch of content on there so maybe now is the time to sign up. There are also discounts if you sign up for 3 or 6 months. 

So I already have a pay site that a bunch of you subscribe to, and I am sure you are wondering why you would pay for this too. Well my normal pay site is just photos. The are high resolution and there are a lot of exclusive images over there. This new OnlyFans is just random videos and things shot with my iPhone.

I went through my phone recently and pulled more than 300 videos that were either NSFW or at least featured porn people doing things. These are videos that might have been on my Snapchat or posted to Twitter or for the models OnlyFans or just random things that have never been seen before. For example, when I first got a waterproof iPhone I shot a video of Jane Wilde Twerking naked in a swimming pool in slow motion and when I looked at it I realized it was way too graphic for the stuff I normally post so I never did anything with it. Well I just posted it on my OnlyFans.

I have over 300 videos to post and I will probably post some photos too, but only stuff shot with my phone. I want a place for my behind the scenes stuff. But once I start shooting again, I will also be shooting new video content just for my OnlyFans. I am actually kinda excited for that because it gives me some reason to focus on video even if it’s just short iPhone stuff. I am sure there will be more explicit stuff as well since it isn’t public facing. I am kinda excited about the whole thing so I hope some of you are too.

Okay, I am gonna stop typing now, sign up for my damn OnlyFans and I will be back soon

Keep Protesting – 6.15.20

The Black Lives Matter protests continue and since my foot has healed and I had no Covid symptoms for two weeks after the first protest I went to I decided to go back out again and get some more photos of the movement. There were protests happening all over NYC yesterday including a huge one for Black Trans Lives and the canceled Puerto Rican Day Parade became protests for Black Lives Matter. Seeing the support from the LGBTQ community during Pride has been inspiring and seeing Puerto Ricans express solidarity as well is really incredible, especially after seeing the Trump administration turn its back on the island. I had a bunch of stuff to do during the day though, so I ended up going to the protest at McCarren Park which happens every evening. 

The McCarren Park protests are socially distant and people sit in the park and listen to speakers and it’s a honestly a great way to show support and hang out in the park and stay safe in the process. I met up with some friends I haven’t seen since Covid started and got to pet a dog for the first time in months and it was really nice. I brought my digital camera but I had a film camera on me and decided since it was just people sitting around the park I wouldn’t shoot any digital photos and I just snapped a few film shots and a couple on my phone for Twitter and I figured that would be it. But around 8pm when the speakers finished a group gathered for a march and I decided to join them and as it got too dark to shoot with 400 ISO film I broke out the digital camera. 

The march went from McCarren Park, through Greenpoint and eventually over the Pulaski Bridge into Queens. It was not as socially distant as the park, but people still stayed a few feet apart and I only saw two people without masks out of the 100-200 people there. It was a much smaller march compared to others  that day and for the last two weeks, but it was very well organized and the guy leading it was honestly very impressive. I wish I knew more about him because I have been to a lot of protests in my life and he was one of the more charismatic leaders. The protest was led and backed by people on bikes who blocked traffic as we passed through intersections and for most of the march the police followed from behind and led the protest but at a distance and there were absolutely no problems. If the NYPD had adopted crowd control like this two weeks ago I think things would be very different right now.

As we got to the Pulaski Bridge, we took a break and everyone came together. A couple of guys with guitars performed for everyone and the protest leader asked everyone to meet someone they had never talked to before. I talked to the guy nearest to me. I told him I had been taking photos of protests since 1995 and it turns out that was the year he was born and we both happen to be from the DC area. We both have lung problems where we might be more susceptible to Covid-19 but we both thought this was too important to stay inside for. He works in marketing but wants to be a writer and we talked about that and photography and how inspired he was to tell the stories of this movement. It was just a cool moment in the middle of all this. 

Walking over the bridge was a really nice moment as the sun was going down. We completely blocked off Queens bound traffic during the break and as we walked over. It’s a short bridge compared to walking over the Manhattan Bridge like I did the other week, but I was right at the front and seeing it empty of cars and then turning around to see everyone marching together was a pretty powerful experience for me.

Once we got to Queens a lot more police were waiting for us, but they didn’t bother anyone. They had a few cars in front and a few behind and a handful of cops walking with everyone. It was still completely peaceful and it started to get dark enough where it was hard to take photos. We happened to be right by the G train and my apparently still fucked up foot was starting to hurt so I left at that point.

On the train ride home two guys just started smoking a Black and Mild on the mostly empty train car. A guy at the other end saw them and lit a joint. I wasn’t super happy about being in an inclosed space with people who had taken off their masks to smoke but I wasn’t that close to them so I wasn’t too worried about it. As we pulled up to the next stop I saw some cops about to get on and I yelled out to the guys smoking and they managed to get everything put out before the cops could get on the train. It was just one of these NYC moments of solidarity that really made me feel connected to the city in a way I don’t always feel anymore. 

The last few months have been truly fucking horrible, but hopefully something better will rise from the ashes of 2020. I have some home. Stay out there. Keep protesting. Make your voice heard. Stay safe. Black lives matter.

Another George Floyd Protest – 6.4.20

Last night I was in my apartment when I heard people yelling outside. It sounded like the cheers people in my neighborhood do when at 7pm every day to thank health care workers but that had already happened. I realized it was 8pm and the curfew had just gone into effect so I assumed people were cheering to protest the curfew. But then the sound got louder and people started chanting “Black lives matter! Black lives matter!” I looked outside and there was a huge protest outside of my house so I grabbed my camera and a mask and I ran outside.

I walked a few blocks away from my apartment so people don’t know exactly where I live since it would be ideal if the right wing lunatics who attack me every day on Twitter knew where I lived. Everyone was taking a knee and it was a pretty incredible thing to see in my neighborhood on the southside of Williamsburg Brooklyn. Despite Williamsburgs reputation of being a hipster hotbed (it hasn’t been in a decade), my neighborhood is mostly Dominican and Hasidic families. 

I hurt my foot during the protests on Monday and I was in pretty bad shape. I was just gonna stand in the corner but I ran into a friend of mine so I walked with her for a few blocks. Eventually I had to stop but not before running into two other friends including my artist friend who goes by The Sucklord (more on that in a minute). After the protest had passed I limped back to my apartment before realizing I had left my wallet and keys inside. Fortunately one of my neighbors let me in because it would not have been an ideal time to get arrested for breaking curfew. 

Now, there aren’t a ton of photos here and nothing interesting happened while I was with the protest so I wasn’t even going to publish these as a post on my site. I posted some of my favorites on Twitter and I thought that was going to be it. Unfortunately my buddy Sucklord got attacked by the police later that night so I am doing this post to highlight another example of police brutality even if I didn’t get shots of it.  Here’s the story, paraphrased from both his Instagram story and from my conversation with him as well as what I have read about the specific protest on Twitter.

There was a rally earlier at McCarren Park which is on the border of Williamsburg and Greenpoint Brooklyn. As the rally ended a spontaneous march broke out with people just winding through Williamsburg. Because it was unplanned there was no specific leadership but the protest was completely peaceful. When I marched with them for a few blocks I didn’t see any laws being broken but the curfew. The police were following them and directing traffic ahead of them but had no other altercation. At some point the police stopped the protest and wouldn’t let anyone go any farther. Sucklord went to the front of the line because the idea with these protests is to put white people in front to protect the black protesters. Since the march was leaderless and Sucklord was at the front he tried to negotiate with the cops but they wouldn’t listen to him and started yelling at him so he backed up. Eventually they were at a standstill and the protesters turned around and started leaving. That’s when the cops attacked.

They started just hitting people with clubs, grabbing them and arresting them. Sucklord was beaten fairly badly and tried to escape by crawling onto a car. Several cops grabbed him and pulled him off directly onto his head. It knocked him out and he laid on the concrete bleeding as they continued to hit him. Fortunately one of the other cops stopped them and protected him. He said the cop seemed to have genuine concern for his safety and was the one that took him to the hospital. Of course the same cop arrested him and Sucklord doesn’t know what he was charged with. Fortunately other activists bailed him out and drove him home and he is recovering at home and is going to be fine. 

But the fact of the matter is that once again the NYPD has attacked a peaceful protest that is protesting the exact brutality that they are responding with. The police officers who do this shit need to be held accountable, and not just fired, but prosecuted. And I don’t think these protests are going to end until something is done to hold them accountable, not just for these incidents but systematically. Laws need to change.

Maybe for once they will change. This is going to sound awful but it takes white people like Sucklord, and the 75 year old man that was attacked last night in Buffalo to get hurt by police for everyone to wake up to this brutality. A lot of people see cops killing black people and they think “oh well, I am sure he deserved it somehow” or “well if he hadn’t resisted…” but when they see middle class white people on TV every night getting attacked for non violent civil disobedience, maybe people will realize that this is the shit that black people have been going through since reconstruction. Maybe the police aren’t the good guys after all. Maybe something will change and we will finally make some steps to fix this broken, racist judicial system. Black lives matter.

George Floyd Protest – 5.31.20

I don’t need to tell anyone about the murder of George Floyd or about the protests and riots that have broken out around the country in response to his death. I will tell you that I have spent the last few days with an overwhelming sense of guilt for not being out there in the streets both as a photographer and someone gives a huge fuck about equality and systemic oppression. I have been going to protests for 25 years. My high school photo portfolio was just photos of punk bands and leftist protests. I needed to be out there and I needed to be sharing my images. 

Unfortunately the coronavirus is happening and I have spent the last 10 weeks inside my apartment not seeing any of my friends or family because I have horrible lungs and I don’t want to risk the lives of the elderly people in my building just because I want to go do things. I spent my 40th birthday on my couch. But after three days of seeing my friends out there and seeing journalists being attacked by police I just had to do my part. I just couldn’t justify sitting on my couch any longer. 

I got to Barclays Center in downtown Brooklyn right as the march was starting. We wrapped around the neighborhood for a while and everything was peaceful. I overheard a protester talking to a cop and he was telling her how bad he felt about Floyd. He and a number of other cops stuck to the outside of the crowd with cops on bikes directing traffic and keeping the crowd moving. As I mentioned I have been to a lot of protests in my life and it was well organized, very passive crowd control. As we returned to Barclays, however, there was a much larger police presence with cops in riot helmets trying to look intimidating. I saw one arrest but I didn’t see what happened leading up to it. I did take a billy club to the ribs trying to photograph it. It wasn’t hard and just meant to keep me from getting closer, but it’s the kinda shit that is totally unnecessary. 

After that the protest was still peaceful up until it reached the Manhattan Bridge. I wasn’t at the front so I am not exactly sure what happened but their was almost an altercation. I don’t know if police were trying to stop people from reaching the bridge but if that was their goal they failed miserably. I will say that both the police and the protesters managed to deescalate the situation well and I actually saw a cop hand a protester their sign back after it was dropped in the brief shoving. 

Moments later another protester was arrested, and again I missed what happened, but they seemed to really be going to work on him under a pile of cop bodies. Other cops stood in front of the photographers intentionally blocking our cameras. You’d think if they weren’t using excessive force they wouldn’t mind if we were documenting, given that it is the duty of the free press, but what do I know?

Protesters took over the entire Manhattan bound side of the Manhattan Bridge and half the Brooklyn bound side. I was on the Brooklyn bound side so I got to watch all the cars pass and nearly every one of them was honking in support, some stopping on the bridge to take photos and cheer people on. The sun was setting and it was so god damn joyful on that bridge. Despite the anger and the pain there are still these wonderful moments when you are taking part in activism. When the two sides of the bridge merged I saw two friends run into each other and just jump into each other’s arms in the middle of everything and it was just another amazing moment.

Things got a lot darker once we reached the city, both metaphorically and literally. It was night now and the city cops were way more aggressive. Everything was completely peaceful until we reached the big post office building in Chinatown. The crowd was chanting “let them go” when I got there so I assume someone else had been arrested. I noticed cops had started coming from all sides surrounding everyone. Keep in mind that before this moment the only “crimes” I had seen were jaywalking and I saw one person spray painting the bridge. It was completely peaceful. 

The protesters walked to meet a police line that had formed and I got right in between the two factions. The protesters had their hands up, chanting, about 10 feet from the police. An ambulance appeared and both lines separated to let the ambulance through. Moments later I noticed some police talking and it seemed like they were plotting something so I got out my phone to record some more video. Before I could even hit play they rushed the crowd trampling people, knocking over a bike and arresting at least one person. Apologists on Twitter seem to think someone through something but I certainly didn’t see anything. It seemed coordinated. The video I published of the attack as 2 million views as of this post. 

From there shit started to get ugly. The crowd got split up a bit and I saw people running north so I went that way. When I saw why people were running it was because a couple of people tried to break into Balenciaga. The other protesters stopped them. Someone had a damn fire extinguisher and hit them with it and then other protesters gathered in front of the store. As we went north a liquor store and a bank both had their windows smashed as well but the people who were causing the damage were being stopped by everyone else. I heard from friends still out that people returned to SoHo to loot, but none of this happened until the cops turned a completely peaceful demonstration into chaos. 

When we got to 11th street and Broadway police were waiting for us. They blocked the crowd and told people to disperse. It was the first time cops had told anyone to leave. Much of the crowd took a knee at that point or had their hands up. I was on the side of 11th street and I saw one of the cops who seemed to be in charge walk down the street so I followed him to see if there was another group of cops coming. I got about halfway down the block when I decided to go back to the crowd and all of a sudden people just started running. I didn’t know what was happening so I just took off with them, firing off blurry photos behind me. At some point I turned around and cops were just sort of pushing people down the block but didn’t look like any huge thing. I saw later on that a cop had pulled out a gun around that time on 12th street and people took off running so I think that might have been what caused the commotion. 

At that point I was spread out from the crowd that had been spread in different directions. I could have tried to meet up with people again but my feet were killing me after walking all day after not walking anywhere in months and I was right by the subway so I just went home. It was probably for the best because my feet were bleeding when I got home and I have about a dozen blisters and am just limping around my apartment today. Maybe I shouldn’t have worn combat boots after not wearing them since winter. Whoops. 

Okay so that’s my write up of the night. I tried to talk about the events as unbiasedly as I possibly could, but obviously I am biased. We have set up a system of oppression in the United States that started with slavery and ended with black people being put in prison in much higher rates as anyone else. We went from slavery to reconstruction to Jim Crow to a Civil Rights movement that got the Civil Rights Act passed in 1964. My parents were born in 1947. They grew up in segregation which means any black person my age had parents who were legally subjected to worse education, worse housing and worse treatment because of the color of their skin. That means they had less money, lived in worse neighborhoods which means they had access to worse education just like their parents. How do you expect an entire group of people to recover from something that horrific in one or two generations?  So much needs to change in this country but it should start with our police and criminal justice system. Black lives matter.

Ashley During Quarantine

The last photo shoot I did was on March 13th. The coronavirus was already causing panic in NYC and just walking around Manhattan was very weird. It was also the last time I left Brooklyn. Fast forward two and a half months later I finally did a photo shoot and I figured I would take advantage of the currently vacant bedroom in my apartment and do a socially distant photoshoot. 

Before my friend Ashley came over I taped off a 6″ circle in the corner of the room and asked her to match her underwear to her mask. She also happened to have black gloves which I didn’t even ask about but worked out pretty well. I was wearing a mask during the whole shoot as well and every time I went to take a photo with my non autofocus 35mm camera I had to hold my breath because it would fog the viewfinder and I couldn’t tell if the shot was in focus.

We didn’t shoot very long but it was honestly just good to talk to another person in real life. I haven’t had a lot of that recently. Despite the short shoot, the light significantly changed and by the time she got completely naked the photos didn’t look that great. But, I figured that works out perfectly so I can give you guys the topless ones and then if you want to look at the full nude ones you can sign up for my paysite and lurk those over there. It just makes sense. 

Speaking of spending money, my 40th birthday is tomorrow and I am going to be spending it alone on my couch instead of doing some crazy road trip like I had planned so you should buy something from my store and get us both a present. You get some cool book or zine or print and I get some money to buy fish food with for my midlife crisis aquariums. 

Okay, now go look at these photos of Ashley and hopefully I can take some more photos soon. I keep meaning to shoot one of my neighbors but it keeps not working out so we shall see how that goes.

This Is Kel

Here’s another one of those shoots lost to time. I met Kel through my friend Jess who I haven’t seen in over a year and I realized these photos of Kel are from over a year ago but hey, here we are. And they are real pretty too. You might actually like them. Not sure why I didn’t publish them until now.

These photos are my very standard type of shoot where I shoot a model in their home with natural light and all of that, but this time Kel had some sort of rainbow thing on the window that made everything real Instagram filtery. It probably doesn’t really look like anything I would normally shoot.

After the shoot we walked around and took some more photos outside with some cherry blossoms and shot some real spring shit that makes me miss being outside a lot. I think we walked several miles. It was pretty nice. I think I am gonna walk into the city soon because I haven’t left my neighborhood in Brooklyn in exactly two months today.

Sorry I honestly don’t really have anything to say today but if you want to see a couple fully nude photos and some bonus real pretty springtime non nude photos you can subscribe to Girls of Driven By Boredom. Otherwise just click the link below.

Three Girls Of DBB Exclusive Photo Shoots

With the end of the world at hand more people are turning to naked internet stuff to make a living and I have several friends that have started OnlyFans accounts to make a living (Mine is coming soon… like this week soon…). Fortunately for you guys that means that you get to see some old shoots I had never published before. Unfortunately for you guys it also means you need to spend some money to see them. I have recently uploaded three shoots that are exclusive to my paysite Girls of Driven By Boredom, for a couple of different reasons. 

First up we have the oldest shoot. I shot a bunch of 35mm photos of my friend Tine, aka Tine Dream, way back in 2011 on a road trip across country. Aside from my zine NOT SAFE and my book Instaxxx none of the NSFW stuff had ever been published. Fast forward to 2020 and Tine is not only doing her OnlyFans but she also wants to start doing actual adult work when this is all over. I, for one, am psyched about. 

Tine Dream

Next up is my friend Eddy. I have shot her before, but only implied nude stuff. Again, the only actual topless stuff we had shot was in the “Mini” edition of Instaxxx. But we did a photo shoot shortly after the fires in California had kicked her out of her home in Malibu. She was sleeping on couches and we had this idea that we would do a shoot to raise money to help the wildfire recovery. Unfortunately we never got around to actually figuring out a good way to do that and since we are both broke right now the charity we are raising money for is ourselves. This shoot is exclusive to my site Girls of Driven By Boredom AND her OnlyFans. She is keeping her OF user name on the downlow though, so you need to follow her on Instagram and DM her to get that info. We shot these photos at her friend Michelle’s shop Spacedust in LA so check them out, they are selling some cool masks during this nightmare.

Eddy

Lastly we have sort of the opposite situation with Natalie. I was introduced to her by my good friend Carter Cruise who is her roommate. Carter was DJing in Vegas and I went over to their hotel room and took some photos of Nat (and a few of Carter) during AVN Week. I feel like we really hit it off and took a ton of great stuff. I particularly loved the 35mm stuff we shot. Natalie asked me not to post any of the NSFW stuff publicly because she has no idea where she will be career wise after this whole pandemic thing is over and I totally get that. I can’t tell you how many times I have taken down photos because of someone’s work. Always happy to do it, I don’t ever want my photos to fuck up anyone’s life. So yeah, if you want to see all the photos of Natalie there is only one place to see them. But she is so fucking cool and photogenic so I hope I get to take a lot more photos of her when this is all over.

Best Of 2019

It took a pandemic for me to finally catch up on organizing my photos, but here we are. Obviously I still have 2020 to organize, but let’s just say I don’t think the best of 2020 is going to be a very big update. Not a lot of crazy events or intimate photoshoots happening right now, but I am trying to at least stay productive every day. As per all of these “Best of” updates I am gonna run through a few of my favorite events with some links if you want to check out more but honestly 2019 is mostly just naked people with a handful of events thrown in. I really want to get back into more of the events and journalism but not a great time for that right now. I should probably be out in the street shooting signs of the virus but it feels really selfish of me to risk the lives of my elderly neighbors just so I can take some photos, but maybe I am just a coward and making excuses. Moving on.

Every year my two biggest events are AVN Week and The Gathering of the Juggalos. I also had been to SXSW 14 years in a row but I missed it in 2019. I had my trip booked this year and the festival got canceled less than 24 hours after I bought my plane tickets. At least I got my money back. 

I shot some political stuff, which I would love to do more of like a pro choice protest and an Elizabeth Warren rally. I also shot some stuff for Gothamist including this really cool trash museum. I shot Exxxotica NJ which pretty much looks like AVN so you probably can’t tell the difference and I shot some BTS on my friend’s short film. I somehow just shot a single event for Sailor Jerry, but they did sponsor the #MetLifeTakeover.  Oh and I shot some photos in the snow that I just posted on Twitter or something so didn’t have a proper gallery. 

Honestly that’s it except for a bunch of naked girls. It’s pretty distressing to see now that I look at it all. I had a few corporate jobs that aren’t in here (I did include an outtake from some head shots I shot for a friend), but I really need to be doing more non naked work. But whatever, there are a bunch of nudes and you are probably here for that anyway so rejoice. If you see some photos in here that you haven’t seen before they are probably coming, or maybe I just uploaded them to Girls of DBB and you are too cheap to pay $3 a month to see it. That’s on you.

Okay, let’s move along. I will be back later in the week with some more nudes because apparently that’s all I got. See you soon.
