Happy Endings – 7.21.09

It’s been a minute since I have done a Vintage DBB post on here, but my life has been in a wild transition. If you missed the recent B-Side post, I bought a 60 year old house with 60 year old house problems and have spent the last three weeks working on it every day and then I was on a slightly too long vacation. These are some real Champaign problems but I got poison ivy from doing yard work and I have to spend $2500 to cut down a tree before it destroys the foundation of my house so I am exhausted. Oh, I also got engaged but I haven’t really told anyone so I guess if you are reading this you know before some of my close friends and less close family members. 

So yeah, I wanted to update my NSFW paysite thing, Girls of Driven By Boredom so I started digging for a random night out from back in the day that had some nightclub bathroom nudes and I found just the thing. I met my friend Ginger at tattoo party I shot for Inked Magazine before they stopped paying photographers. We talked about shooting and actually had this idea for a larger documentary project that never happened, but we got diner one night to talk about both things and since it was Thursday night we ended up going over to Happy Endings after the meeting (and yes I know it was called Happy Ending and not Endings but I called it Endings the entire time it was open so I am not gonna change it up now).

Every Thursday you had the party 66Sick in the basement and at that time Disco Down was the upstairs party. Downstairs there were a bunch of rooms you could sort of go hide out in so Ginger and I went down there and took a bunch of topless photos of her which are all now uploaded to Girls of DBB. I was going to head out after that but then my neighbors showed up and the three of them, to quote myself in 2009, “went off on a wild tear through the bar, ending up with them having their own personal bouncer who stood by them dancing to keep creepy dudes away from them… ” 

I gotta say it’s great still having all my old archives so I can go pull quotes like that, because I don’t remember any of that shit. So yeah, this gallery is a ton of photos of the three of them mixed with a bunch of photos of the Disco Down kids writing a bunch of shit all over themselves with Sharpie. I was hoping I explained what was going on with that in my original post about the night, but I didn’t. 

Anyway, I hope to update with old throwback posts more often, I actually have a few random nights pulled for me to reedit, but I need to make time for em. Hopefully once I am moved in I can get back to posting one of these a week, but no promises. This night was pretty unexceptional aside from the Ginger chaos, but it’s always fun looking back at what we were up to 15+ years ago.

2025 Gathering Of The Juggalos Day 4 – 8.16.25

The final day of the Gathering of the Juggalos was fairly chill, at least for me personally, for juggalos as a whole it was anything but chill. The last night ends the big Insane Clown Posse show and everyone has to do all their nitrus, drink all their beer and set off all their fireworks. We gotta go out with a bang.

Day four was also the Miss Juggalette contest. The contest has evolved over the years, back when I first started going it was absolutely insane but overtime the contest got “woke” as an idiot might say. The contest became about actual talents and actually being a juggalette. I remember Vice doing a whole thing on feminist juggalos which I thought was pretty cool at the time, but I think for the betterment of society it’s good that the pendulum has swung back a bit to be an absolute shit show again. The last couple years there has been a LOT of nudity and wild stuff happening and as much as I honestly hate shooting it, I knew I had to be there for the content. The things I do for you guys…

The contest started out slow, the “personality” part went on way too long and the juggalos were getting restless. As some point my friend Cordelia gave an answer they didn’t like so they started throwing shit at her. When she came back for the talent portion of the contest, she threw and entire bag of trash into the crowd and from there it was just mayhem. For the rest of the contest shit was just being launched on stage and then back in to the crowd.

The contest was still a bit boring, as far as the competition went. I had a bunch of hot tattooed girls standing behind me and I took a photo of them looking bored as hell and joked about how the girls behind me were more interesting than the contest… and boy was I right. At some point the girls behind me just got sick of it and all went on stage and got naked and did some things I won’t even mention out loud that you will have to look at the photos to see. The crowd went wild. The judges decided that the girls on the side of the stage, “The Sidewinders” could all compete as one. They ended up coming in second. The girl who won, Lydia (she also came second in the wet-tshirt contest), grabbed an actual chicken foot that had been thrown on stage, put it inside of her and then threw it back into the crowd. The juggalos loved that shit. 

After Miss Juggalette I started to walk around for a bit, but I just happened to run into those same “Sidewinders” who had showed up with my old pal Charlie Classic. They were there filming content for his TikTok and their OnlyFans or whatever these kids are up to, so they of course needed to make a scene, which I appreciated. Angela, one of the judges of the Miss Juggalette contest, started trying to convince people to have an ass eating contest. Several couples put pudding on one of their asses, and then the other person ate it off, as one does. There followed a similar contest, but with boobs instead of butts and honestly I just kinda blacked out at that point. Don’t worry, there are photos, but again, they are only on Girls of Driven By Boredom. Channel 5 also filmed the whole thing so who knows what is going on there.

After that it was finally time for some music. The final night had the best lineup with Immortal Technique, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony and Three 6 Mafia. Three 6 and Onxy were the two groups I was really excited for and they are both on heavy rotation in my playlists. Three 6 had played the Gathering before, and DJ Paul was pretty much a regular. Great to have Juicy J back again this year. Did you know that ICP and Three 6 had a super group called Killjoy Club? That is a real thing that happened. They have a whole ass album out and Jellyroll opened for them on tour.

Anyway, the night ended with ICP coming out with this amazing game show set and for maybe the first time ever I took some decent shots of them and I didn’t even get my life ruined by Faygo this time, and yeah that’s about it. I walked around for a little bit and took a few more photos of sticky, wet juggalos, but that was it. On my way out I stopped at a juggalo named Charlie Brown’s campsite.  I met him on a juggalo cruise ship, yes that is a thing that happened more than once, and we have kept in touch. He cooked me a couple tacos for the road which I greatly appreciated.

So yeah, that’s wrap on the 2025 Gathering of the Juggalos. I should mention that a ton of these photos are also on Brooklyn Vegan. And as I mentioned there are three NSFW sets over on Girls of DBB, with a fourth one to come eventually.  Also if you are looking for old NSFW juggalette content, a ton of it is on that site. 

Okay, that’s it. Go check out all the (mostly) safe for work photos from the final day of the 25th annual Gathering of the Juggalos!

Anastasiya

Last month I went out to LA for a few reasons. I had a bunch of photos in the Superchief Contagious Culture art show so the opening was what I based my flights around, but I also just wanted an excuse to go to LA, take some photos and see my brother and his kids. On top of that I started shooting for Creem Magazine and I figure I could find some musicians to photograph for that. I reached out to some LA friends for suggestions and pitched Creem on two dozen artists and I ended up photographing a yet to be named musician for their next issue.  (More on that soon…)

Anyway, two of my friends mentioned the same band, Vanity Pl8 fronted by a siberian bombshell named Anastasiya who of course people told me I needed to photograph. Creem had other plans but I wanted to photograph her anyway and she was super down so on my last night in town I met up with her at the end of a dead end street near an Amazon fulfillment center on the east side of LA. She rolled up with a trunk full of outfits and props and was up for anything. We probably spent an hour shooting in this little dead end while Amazon employees whistled at her from across the street.

During the shoot I pulled out my Instax camera (I am forever working on an update to my book Instaxxx) and it just wouldn’t take a picture. It’s a brand new camera so I figured I was doing something wrong, but turns out the batteries were just mostly dead. Anastasiya told me she had a bunch of Instax film she didn’t want and if I came by on my way out of town she would give me a bunch of film and we could take a few quick instant film photos. Turns out we did a lot more than that. We only shot for about 20 minutes but we got some really great stuff that I am saving for another post. That will probably come months from now because I am bad at life. 

But yeah, we did two great shoots in 24 hours and the first shoot had multiple bikini changes. Oh, I should mention that these photos aren’t nude, but they are pretty sexy. I am still going to give you all the digitals from the first shoot on here for free, but I am paywalling the 35mm stuff because I need to pay my rent. The 35mm stuff is always the best stuff so you are gonna want to sign up for Girls of Driven By Boredom. This shoot might not have any nudity but there are literally hundreds of NSFW shoots on there all for one low, low price. Act now! Buy buy buy! etc. 

See all the free digital photos of Anastasiya below! Part two coming eventually!

 

Dylan Moore In The Streets

These photos have been a long time coming. I took these photos of Dylan Moore way back in October of 2023. My life was completely different back then. I was still living in NYC and I had no idea my landlord was about to raise my rent 40% in a few months and I would be “forced” to move to the beach in North Carolina. Dylan and I took photos in her hotel room and while we were shooting I mentioned this location that I had always wanted to use but never got the chance to do it right. She was down and off we went to Brooklyn.

At some point in the mid 2010s I was walking around my neighborhood in South Williamsburg and noticed this weird path that went behind the Peter Luger parking lot. I had no idea what was back there so I followed it and it was this hidden little spot next to the Brooklyn Queens Expressway where homeless people hung out and did heroin. Needles and caps littered the whole area, but I saw potential…

In early 2017 I was photographing my friend Ali Weiss for my book Instaxxx and I thought about that secret spot. It was winter and snow was on the ground so I knew no one would be hanging out there and we went back there and took some photos. Ali had never done nude modeling before so the photos were pretty tame, but I really loved them. I just knew one day I would get back there again.

A couple of time I tried to do shoots there but they didn’t work out. I had this idea of having a model fully nude laying on the barrier wall between the exit and the BQE. It was a terrifying assignment. You can hide behind the wall to get dressed/undressed but once you are up there you are fully exposed to hundreds of commuters. I knew I would only get one chance to do it so I was picky with models and we would have to find a day where there wouldn’t be a bunch of people shooting up back there. Things just never worked out… until October.

The day I photographed Dylan it was cold and rainy and perfect for this shoot and Dylan was a great model and was super up for it. We got back there and we shot the exact photos I wanted. Right before it started raining. I couldn’t have been happier. After that we went to my second secret spot, this time right off the subway platform. I wanted to shoot from the streets looking up. It was pouring rain and I probably should have brought a longer lens, but we still got some amazing photos of her up there, fully naked, while rain poured down on her. 

I decided the first photos I would post of her would be the hotel shots and I wanted to wait a bit before I posted the ones I was really excited about. But then came January 2024 and I saw her in Las Vegas. We took a bunch of crazy photos of her in her fancy Vegas hotel room late at night. I loved these shots too and decided to post them next. They went up shortly after we got back from Vegas.

So why have these photos not gone up in the year and a half since then? I have no idea. I think it’s partly because I haven’t been shooting much down here and I wanted to spread her photos out. I don’t know any naked people in North Carolina and I haven’t been traveling as much as I thought I would. I didn’t go to AVN this year because there was a hotel strike and I didn’t want to cross a picket line, of course the strike ended just days after I canceled my flight. I did a few shoots in NYC but that’s about it. I haven’t been to LA in way too long so I haven’t shot anyone there, but this weekend I am gonna be in LA and I realized I still haven’t posted these, and it’s time.

Now, the big problem here is that every one of these photos is NSFW and I am no longer posting proper nudity to my site. As I have mentioned before we live in a puritanical nightmare and nipples are against the law now. So if you want to see these photos you have to go to the Girls of Driven By Boredom site and pay a small fee. But the good news is that if you do, not only will you see these photos, plus the two other shoots I did with Dylan, but you will also see literally hundreds of other NSFW photo shoots. It’s an incredible deal if you happen to be into nudity, my photography or hopefully both.

Two NSFW Parties, One Night – 5.16.07

I wanted to go really far back into the archives for this latest Vintage Driven By Boredom post for a couple of reasons, 1) It’s always interesting to see my work from before I had a decent camera and after I had just moved to NYC and 2) Because honestly I need a reason to promote my pay site, Girls of Driven By Boredom. Living in North Carolina, I don’t know any naked people and the only time I do new NSFW shoots is when I am traveling and I haven’t done that in a minute, so if we wanna keep my Girls of DBB subscribers happy, we gotta dig into the archives and I found the perfect night. 

In May 2007 I had lived in NYC for under a year and I had been bringing a proper flash into the club for maybe two weeks? (*Editor’s note: I went back into the archives and the first time I brought a flash to a club was three weeks earlier to the day.) I had started Driven By Boredom in 2001 but there was this window of time when it was under construction and the new layout was going to be designed in WordPress (I am still using it to this day) and so I wanted to get used to WordPress so I started a site that just posted random nudes from “alt porn” websites and would use an affiliate code that would like to those sites and I would get paid a tiny bit of money if people signed up. I only ran that site for a couple of years but for years a $30 check would just randomly show up from those days. Two of those sites I promoted were Gods Girls and Burning Angel.

Gods Girls was pretty much a clone of the OG tattooed girls site, Suicide Girls. It featured a bunch of Suicide Girls models who were pissed off at Suicide Girls for their shitty treatment and bad contracts. Gods Girls actually won a lawsuit against Suicide Girls nullifying those contracts. God Girls and Suicide Girls were both just fairly tame nude photos, but Burning Angel was a proper porn site and they just happened to be based out of Brooklyn, and they became a big part of my social circle in my early days in NYC. 

So yeah, on May 16th 2007 there were two parties, just a block or two away from each other, that were hosted by these two sites. The first one was at a bar called Sutra for one of my all time favorite weekly parties High Voltage. I would have been at this party no matter who was hosting, but the fact that a bunch of Gods Girls were going to be there was an added bonus. This was my first stop of the night. I met a bunch of girls I knew online for years and I did a nude shoot in a bathroom with a model named Charlotte who I actually reconnected with recently thanks to posting one of these photos on @VintageDBB.

At the party I ran into two friends of mine Apathy & Ariel (see photo above) who were nightlife regulars who also happened to be semi professional naked people so the three of us left High Voltage and went up the block to Lucky Cheng’s for the other party called Porn For Peace which I believe was a fundraiser for victims of the War in Darfur. The party was mostly people from the NYC fetish scene but there were a bunch of Burning Angels there and that’s is mostly who I photographed. Most of the photos from this party are NSFW so they are gonna be exclusive to Girls of DBB, but I left in enough for you to maybe get the idea. Eventually I went back to High Voltage, because again, that party ruled. 

Just some bonus tidbits from the night. I had a terrible roommate for three months who left without paying a bunch of bills and this night is one of the only times she ever left our apartment. My old pal Julius Onah was at High Voltage, and you might recognize him from the fact that he directed the new Captain America movie. I had a little cameo in his first movie and it’s so amazing to see what he’s done since then. And honestly I thought I had a third point, but apparently I can’t figure out what that is so just enjoy all the photos. 

There are 62 photos from the night in the gallery below and 94 photos in the gallery on Girls of DBB so you might want to sign up for that site. There are tens of thousands of NSFW photos there already and I will continue to hit the archives for more… See you guys soon.
