Of course, it's not just a car, it's an art project that we first took notice of in its infancy, but has come to fruition and is now on display in New Mexico. Inspired by the low rider culture of Southern California, she taught herself the in-and-outs of car rebuilding—and re-built her own body to match—in order to create a multimedia installation that's part living sculpture, part Hot RodBod magazine. How many mechanics get to star in their own bikini calendar alongside a car that they built themselves? How many mechanics would you even want to see in a bikini? If you're talking about the crew at our local Midas shop ... the answer is not many.

Sure, we know that this time of year is supposed to be all about renewal and celebrating the exuberance of life and all that, but let's not forget that things like sexy vampires and bloodthirsty fetish babes always deserve their place in the sun too. While artist Greg Loudon's online portfolio features everything from traditional comic book-style drawings to classic pinup illustrations, we're especially interested in the darker fantasy work in his sketchbook, where gun- and knife-toting hotties conspire to give us the best kind of dirty nightmares. After all, there's only so much perky polka-soundtracked Easter Bunny fucking action we can take.

It might not be totally accurate to call Austin-based Paul Richards a pinup artist per se—his portfolio includes plenty of examples of work that doesn't fit into that category, like puppies and pumpkins and assorted ghosts, ghouls, and goblins. And fans of traditional pinup work may find themselves a bit discomfited by some of his more outrageous sexy creations, like eight-nippled raygun-toting alien babes or hot Chthulu-on-space chick action. As far as we're concerned, though, the art of pinup illustration is a constantly evolving one—which is to say that as much as we admire the traditional cheesecake kind, we can't get enough of things like eight-nippled raygun-toting alien babes and hot Chthulu-on-space chick action. So let's hope the talented Mr. Richards keeps bringing us more of it. (And did we mention that he accepts commissions too?)

If you're looking to drool over the portfolio of a photographer who specializes in high-gloss cheesecake shots of oiled, naked supermodels ... well, Mark Velasquez isn't that kind of photographer. Which isn't to say that a lot of his work isn't sexy—for proof, see his "Pin-ups", "Secret Thoughts", and "Mother Nature" projects—but we're more interested in the part of his portfolio he labels "Eccentric" and describes as the place where he "step(s) outside the accepted norm of what constitutes beauty, high fashion, and basic common decency". Sure, photos of drunk pageant queens and pregnant trailer trash might not be everyone's cup of Jack Daniels where erotic photography is concerned, but you can't help but appreciate his sense of humor—and the fact that his models look like they're having as good time posing for him as he is taking their picture. And besides, one cannot live on high-gloss cheesecake alone.

Aussie hottie Kitty Toxin is a self-described "mad scientist" whose interests include biomedical science, anatomical charts, playing with her two pet rats and assorted spiders, and lounging around in a bathtub while reading books about Dr. Who —all of which would instantly earn her instant Fleshbot Crush Object™ status on their own (especially the Dr. Who part.) But Kitty isn't one of those gorgeous geeks into barren theorizing: she's also an accomplished painter and fetish pinup model, and we can't think of anyone else we've seen online lately who can make a rhytidectomy look so damn sexy; if she didn't live clear on the other side of the planet from us, we'd be booking an appointment on her operating table in no time.

Czech artist Viktor Jung has the knack of making his pornstar subjects look even better than they do in real life—which is to say that their breasts are always just a little bit bigger and their hips just a touch curvier than their flesh-and-blood counterparts. Such idealization, of course, is characteristic of any halfway decent pinup artist; their work would be pretty dull indeed if their subjects ended up looking, well, real. But we especially like Viktor's work for providing us with something more than just something pretty to look at: given the way he portrays Jenna Jameson and the way she looks these days, we're grateful for the reminder of why we all became so smitten with her in the first place. Even if she never really looked that way to begin with.

We are very fond of April Flores, aka Fatty D, and her partner in crime, photographer Carlos Batts. They are finishing work on the sequel to last year's "Alter Ego", subtitled "The Voluptuous Life". Porn fans who decry the lack of follow-through in adult sequels will exult in learning that the pre-op transsexual Flores banged around with in Episode One has undergone her transformation for Episode 2. Did we see similar story arc resolutions in "Dirt Pipe Milkshakes 2"? No. No, we didn't. - GP

Since we seem to be on something of a vintage and retro porn binge over the last couple of days (could it have something to do with all that up-to-the-second cutting-edge modern boobage we were surrounded by in Las Vegas last week?), we were tickled to be informed of the gorgeously all-natural offerings at Retrofap by Fleshbot gal Friday Violet Blue, who calls it "my new favorite blog of the minute". Since they had the eminent good taste to name "Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls" siren, all-time favorite Playboy centerfold, and proto-Fleshbot Crush Object™ Cynthia Myers as their most recent Babe of the Week, it just might be our new favorite blog of the minute too. Maybe even longer.

Though "driven" is probably the best word to describe the tantalizing Taneish Leslie. we could think of several others that would be almost as good—"hot", "sexy", and "versatile" among them. Born in Jamaica and raised in Toronto, Taniesh now lives in Georgia; in between all that traveling she was named Leading Video Vixen at the 2006 Black Music Awards and has been photographed by such Fleshbot faves as Viva Van Story. And if she weren't already busy enough, she's also the publisher of the shiny new J'Adore Magazine, which hits the stands in January. If you're as smitten with her as we are and want to send her a few tokens of your appreciation, her site advises that she loves anything involving skulls & bones ... and anything fetishy and pink. Yep, she's our kind of girl all right. -AR

The sexy babe calendar frenzy has reached such a crescendo around here that we're not even sure what day it is; the latest collection to knock our socks off comes from the Polish/Hungarian magazine CKM (and Dunlop Tires, apparently) who offer a classic garage-style pinup collection filled with their favorite FHM/Maxim/Zoo-style photos from the past year. Fortunately, once the new year arrives we will have no trouble getting our bearings, provided we can tear ourselves away from Miss September long enough to check out Miss January. The way we figure it, one day is as good as any other.

In the time-honored tradition of alt porn sites that aren't, Dead Babes stars a whole bunch of surly-sexy looking models who show their stuff and do the pout, but are most emphatically not making porn. (Or at least that's what the adults-only disclaimer on the splash page insists.) Don't let the whole membership thing fool you either: at the moment the site is basically a photoblog with links to TGP photosets featuring the likes of popular alt models like Apnea and Scar13, and there are plenty of models to gawk at without paying a dime. They might not be flashing the gash, but we're pretty darn sure these girls aren't discouraging any dirty thoughts on your part.- AR

· Update: Sweety Karolyn regrets to inform us that she has retired from modeling and has taken her site down. Quel dommage!

Sabina is a gorgeous leggy blond (er, when she's not brunette) who sets our hearts a-flutter here at Fleshbot—but please don't think she's the bland, tan, yawn-inducing kind you find in your everyday lingerie catalogue. She may be built like a mainstream model, but she's got tattoos, sass and character far beyond that of your usual clothes-hanger. She's gradually taking over the world of pin up modeling and burlesque, and anyone can see that her signature coyly sexy style is bound to take her far. As is the usual strategy for most instances of world domination, she'll be shooting a spread for Playboy at the beginning of October, so keep your eyes peeled for a glossy spread ... coming soon to a (real) newsstand near you. Resistance is futile.

Modern Show Girls is a brand new website about models, photography, art, music, fashion and culture run by Dutch photographer and master image manipulator Visualclash. It features mostly European alt hotties, and though the models featured and interviewed on the site all seem to mark out their territory firmly on the "classy pin up modeling" side of things (one interviewee insists that she won't do anything "raunchy"), there's plenty of sexy galflesh to be seen. The allure of tease is alive and well in Europe, and the photography is nothing short of lick-your-screen luscious. And if you get tired of the lady prettiness (but why would you?), there's plenty of other sexy culture stuff to be had as well.
