Or did her nipple reveal remind her that you should never leave your pasties at home?

Whatever it was she learned, we gotta say we're fans of this putting most of it out there look. Why, it's almost makes the bloated ticket price seem like a deal!

· Topless Pink titillates her fans (dailytelegraph.com.au)

Hey, we know we're more persuaded by strip club shenanigans and simulated sex than by, well, Jason Statham doing anything.

Alas, we suspect that the bare boobs briefly shown in the clip do not actually belong to Amy. Aside from the fact that the (headless!) topless shots seem completely disconnected from the rest of the action, there's also the fact that we've seen Amy's boobs... and these just don't look like the real thing (it's something about the nipples).

Tastie Pastie Covers Those Nipples Good (tastiepasties.com)
Though they don't really advertise their product as such, Seattle-based Tastie Pastie consistently makes pasties that are rather large. So if you've got big aerolas or feel a little shy about revealing the boobage in general, they're a good source. Their designs, like the pictured hula girl pasties, tend to the whismical and seem to largely be inspired by sales at craft stores. Not that that's a bad thing.

Booby Bling: Pasties for A Heavy Metal Festival (boobybling.com)
Most pasties make boobies a little more glamorous and a little more mysterious: Are those nipples puffy? Are they big and dark? But somehow Booby Bling's pasties don't foster that same sense of wonderment. Instead, they conjure up images of drunk groupies vying for attention of long haired guitar players. This is not good. Also, they kind of look like they're really supposed to be patches that belong on stonewashed denim jackets and not boobs; we're not sure this is such a good thing either.

Gothfox Does the Pastie Tradition Proud (gothfox.com)
No pastie roundup would be complete without some tried and true designs ... and Gothfox delivers these classic-style pasties pretty damn well. Most of their pasties are small and circular; many have tassles, and the fabrics are shiny and pretty. Plenty girly and perfect for pretty much any aspiring burlesque star!

Sabina's Boobs Glitter for Titmore & Asspley (myspace.com/crystaltassels)
The cleverly (?) named Titmore & Asspley specializes in pasties with crystals; although they use crystals for other accessories in their line too, like high heels and lingerie, bejeweled boobies are their specialty. At the moment T&A only has a MySpace page insted of a full-fledged website, but it's still got some pastie-sporting models of note including Sabina (pictured) and longtime Fleshbot fave Maisumi Max. There's also some pretty aggressive language about their designs being copyrighted, which made us wonder how many ways you can design a pastie ... and how many people out there make a habit of stealing pastie designs. But what do we know? We're not the experts.

Inside Pastie Making - Do It Yourself
Confessions of a Pastie Maker is a look inside the process of pasty making from someone who knows. And How to Make Your Own Pasties is, as the name suggests, a great tutorial (with pictures!) of how to make your own. So what are you waiting for?

Of all the freaky places to hang out in New York City, perhaps no place attracts more freaks (and lets you shoot paintball guns at them) then Coney Island. Home to all manner of assorted weirdness, one of the grand traditions of the neighborhood is the annual Mermaid Parade, where wild boys and (mostly) girls put on their best homemade costumes and bodypaint and strut around like they own the place (which they basically do.) Also, there's boobs ... thousands and thousands of boobs. Painted, be-tasseled, jiggly and free ... you'll never find a better place to march down the boulevard without your shirt on. Or ogle absentmindedly without having the cops called on you. Voyeur-in-training Alex Goldberg investigates.
