I’m a sinner who’s probably gonna sin again.

This sexy sinner is from Liverpool, England. Read an interview that she did with Van Styles for The Hundreds  here.

Hot backstage video of her shoot with Christian Saint for the cover of Tattoo Life Magazine.

Update: Van Styles just posted this.

Venus Callipyge

Venus Callipyge

The Venus Callipyge, literally meaning Venus of the Beautiful Buttocks is an ancient Roman marble  statue, thought to be a copy of an older Greek original. It depicts a partially draped woman, raising her gown to uncover her hips and buttocks, and looking back and down over her shoulder, as if to evaluate them.

The statue’s pose gives the figure a distinctly erotic aspect suggesting that it may represent a story recorded by Athenaeus of two girls in Syracuse who were trying to decide which of them had the more shapely buttocks:

Once upon a time a farmer had two beautiful daughters. One day these girls, getting into a dispute as to which one had a more beautiful backside, went out onto the public street. And by chance a young man was passing by, the son of a rich old man. They showed themselves to him, and when he saw them he voted in favor of the older girl. And falling in love with her, when he got back to town he  told his younger brother everything that had happened. And the younger brother also went to the country and saw the girls, and he fell in love with the other daughter.

When the boys’ father tried to get them to marry someone of the upper classes, they refused, and so he brought the girls in from the country, and married them to his sons. And so these girls were called fair-buttocked by the citizens. And when they got wealthy and famous, they founded a temple of Aphrodite and called the goddess the Fair-Buttocked.

By 1802 the statue was in the Museo degli Studi, now the National Archaeological Museum of Naples, where it remains today.

In 1836, the photographer Famin called it a “charming statuette” but noted that it was:

…placed in a reserved hall, where the curious are only introduced under the surveillance of a guardian, though even this precaution has not prevented the rounded forms which won for the goddess the name of Callipyge, from being covered with a dark tint, which betrays the profane kisses that fanatic admirers have every day impressed there.

It was re-popularised by the 20th century lyrics of the French songwriter Georges Brassens, in his Vénus Callipyge, which paraphrases Athenaeus’ story and ends:

C’eût été le temple de la Grèce/ Pour qui j’eusse eu plus de dévotion
This would have been the temple of Greece/ For which I would have professed the most devotion.

Issue 188 – Alysha Nett

188

Come Out and Play!

You won’t get anything like this on the cover of Nuts and Zoo. It’s a great example of what sets FRONT apart from the crowd. Who says that Bums Don’t Sell!

FRONT continue to take a fresh angle (quite literally!) on how to photograph a girly butt. Their quirky poses and fun compositions never cease to thrill and amaze and I love them for putting the ass right up there on equal footing with boobs. After languishing for years neglected and unloved by the faint-hearted flesh deniers (“Oohh, that’s not very flattering!”), they’ve shown what can be achieved by bringing the booty out of the closet and sticking it right in their reader’s faces!

FRONT are in the vanguard of a Rear End Revolution, and if you’re thinking of joining in please note: You don’t need photoshop, you don’t need ultra thin models, you don’t need artificial lighting effects or coy poses that hide more than they show.

All you DO need is wit, style, and attitude…oh and some pretty ladies.

Issue 177 – Beth Humphreys

17446--ec2421efc2cdb6c0a6da267ccbd3c40a

Behold the sexy future! Beth Humphreys is the first cover star of 2013.

This shirt-raising pose would make a great animated gif, but we’ve just got a before and after shot. And here’s another thing – some idiot has made a sad attempt to photoshop the neathage of the sexy future’s right butt cheek. Otherwise 10/10.

See some HQ scans here.

Alloy Ash

Kinky steampunkish corsetry, lacy lingerie, one of the finest butts ever to come in front of a camera, and a great close up of that “Beautiful Suffering” thigh tattoo.

It can only be brand new from Alloy Ash!

fb alloyash

The words are from an Emilie Autumn song called Liar.

I want to heal you pretty sweet
I’ll throw rose petals at your feet
I’ll spend eternity
Comparing all my poetry to yours
I want to see love through your eyes
You’ll never have to compromise
I’d give up all my fame
To fight your demons and your bloody wars

I want to mix our blood
And put it in the ground
So you can never leave
I want to earn your trust
Your faith, your heart
You’ll never be deceived

Are you suffering?
I want your suffering
I want your beautiful suffering

An Alt Girl Speaks – Charlotte Herbert

The top FOUR most clicked images on this site and the most viewed post all feature the same model…the stunning, the incredible, the gorgeous, the redheaded, AND the amazingly curvy…

Charlotte Herbert!

I’ve been a fan ever since she appeared on the cover of Issue 151 and I’m sure you’ll all want to join me in voting for her in the Zoo poll to find the best bottom of 2012. I think she came about fourth last year so let’s make sure she wins this time!

VOTE HERE

This is a new picture by Gavin Glave, and the words are by Charlotte herself.

Please go and vote for me, Charlotte Herbert, as having the best bum of 2012 (it should be of all time but oh well)

Back of the Nett

One of the best things about Issue 174 of FRONT has to be the sensational return of Alysha Nett. This shot is my favourite of the set by Christian Saint but the mirror image above is a close runner-up.

The “true or false” feature which goes with her shoot includes this:

If Alysha had to fill the frame on her back with a face, she’d opt for yours.

FALSE: “I’d choose my dogs”.

So let’s take a look at some more Nett frames.

I can’t praise this picture enough. It literally places Alysha on a pedestal as if she was an ancient statue – an Aphrodite of Alt – surveying the starkly modern backdrop. The curves of her body, and that amazing frame design, are sensuously backlit while her legs are moulded into a single mermaid like limb by the diaphanous drape. The talented photographer is Creativerehab.

This one, by The Creepster, is great too. The low view-point and the high-cut, backless swimsuit are perfect for showing off both the tattoo and Alysha’s Callipygian charms.

And not a canine in sight!

Halloween

Hope you had a scary but enjoyable time last night. I thought I’d reblog some of the Halloween themed treats that shocked and rocked the interwebs.

Frontarmy posted a great cosplay strip down featuring Keshia as Harley Quinn.

More comic hero capers at the altgirlbotherer where self-confessed geek girl and cosplayer Nicole Marie Jean popped in for a special interview. There’s some stunning pictures of her costumes to go with the Q&A. I really liked Poison Ivy and her Thor will knock you out – quite literally – but I’ve found one of Nicole as the Black Widow to use here.

See more Black Widow shots here and loads more Nicole at her tumblr.

Sweet, round, dimpled and fleshy…Suicidegirls reminded us just why pumpkins are so much in demand at this time of year…with some help from Casanova.
