Bizarre Magazine
In 2002 a UK based magazine Bizarre listed Driven By Boredom on a list of top blogs. I am not sure if they used the word blog, because that wasn’t really popular parlance at the time, but you get the idea. I was pretty psyched about it because Bizarre was one of my favorite magazines at the time. If you haven’t seen it Bizarre is just filed with the craziest shit you have ever seen and a bunch of hot naked girls. Its like the magazine equivalent of a Mondo film. It’s pretty great. I haven’t picked one up in a while, but hopefully it is just as crazy.
I do plan on picking up this months issue because I have some photos in it. Bizarre covered America’s Most Dangerous Game Show: Strip For Pain in a two page spread in their newest issue. If you don’t know by now, Strip For Pain is a game show conceived by my friend Doug and often Co-Hosted by Porn Star Joanna Angel. They get a bunch of Burning Angel girls to beat the hell out of several dudes and if the guys survive the girls take off a bit more clothing. When just one guy remains they do something extra horrible to him, and if he can stand it, then he gets a lap dance from all the girls. It is a weird thing to watch. I have photographed it a bunch of times, but if you want to see video, you can click here.
So yeah, Bizarre used 5 of my photos, despite crediting them to one of my favorite photographers and friend Steve Prue. We were both confused by this considering we had submitted almost identical shots of a guy getting punched in the face. I remember when we showed each other the shots at an event in NJ. Oh well, it’s still nice to see my stuff in print in a magazine I love, credit or not. And better it be Steve than someone who sucks.
Lastly, Strip For Pain host Joanna Angel is up for some sort of crazy porn star contest. You should vote for her. I mean she’s awesome, always convincing her girls to get naked for my site and she’s from NYC. How can you not love that. Vote! (It wouldn’t hurt to vote for the awesome Justine Joli either.)
So yeah, here is a small censored version of the 2 page spread in Bizarre. If you want to read the article and see the uncensored pictures, click the picture below.
