Awesomeness… Now in Model Form.
/
Earlier this year we presented the wonderful work of Michael Paul Smith. His pieces are elaborate and amazing. They are also incredibly clean.

/
Buck Nekkid, Dewy Hyman, Jay Leno– porn stars always have stage names that are in some way salacious. But what if they were limited to using only car names to create their sexy sobriquets? If using only the appellations applied to autos, what would be some good porn star names?
