Ecstasy and me

Ecstasy and me

Ecstasy and me

I’m in two minds over this pic. I can’t decide whether she looks like she’s been on the disco biscuits all night and is gurning like a donkey sucking a rolo or whether she has been having a little too much fun with some kind of intimate solo pursuit. Either way ecstasy figures in her immediate future in one way or another. Probably best just to leave her to it.

Like the rest of this sordid little lot these pictures have been reimagined from actual news headlines. I fill my head with this grubby nonsense so you don’t have to. Vive la revolution!

USR&MM ‘Stoya’ Pleasurebot

If you’ve ever read any Isaac Asimov books (and if you haven’t then you’re missing out) then you’re probably aware that many of his books concern robots which were created by his fictional company ‘USR&MM’ (which stands for U.S Robots & Mechanical Men).

Now I’m sure that Asimov didn’t exactly have ‘pleasurable’ purposes in mind when he developed his ideas on robots but you know that if we had these kind of things in the real world it would only be a matter of time (probably just minutes) before somebody had the bright idea of fitting them out for the oldest profession.

Anyway, here we have a somewhat phallic looking promotional poster of sorts for the cream of the robotic crop. The state of the art, Android powered, ‘Stoya’ model Pleasurebot.  Coming soon…

She’s about 3.5m tall and 3.5m wide and is currently in place on a side street parallel to Water Lane in Camden (but the other side of the train tracks). I thought she was finished just as the rain started then finally remembered to install her cybernetic glowing LED eye just to give it that final futuristic touch. Hopefully it’ll be working for the next few weeks and we’ll be able to get a night shot before it runs out. Many thanks to The Real Art of Street Art  for sorting the space for us!

Cheers

Give me a baby or a divorce

Give me a baby or a divorce

Give me a baby or a divorce

Uh oh! It sounds like ultimatum time to me. And she’s started crying. It’s all come down to this. Crunch time. What do you do? I’m thinking the best answer would be something along the lines of ‘we were never legally married in the first place’. That should do it surely?

Hubby was sure she had a lover

hubby was sure she had a loverAh paranoia! That great equaliser. Here’s the lovely wife – looking like butter wouldn’t melt in her mouth – but her hubby has some nasty suspicions. It’s been that way for a couple of weeks since she started receiving late night texts. After a showdown it turns out they were entirely unfounded and that it was her friend in a foreign land sending updates on her holiday. Or at least that’s her story…

I can make love for 24hrs a day

i_can_make_love_24hrs_a_day‘I can make love for 24hrs a day’ is the kind of claim you’d expect to hear on the Jerry Springer show. I’m pretty sure there must be some enterprising young souls out there who’ve probably given it a damn good shot. I’m sure being tanked on Viagra would probably help but I’m not sure I could handle it. Just think of the chafing.  But it’s a pretty spectacular boast all the same and would require taking the subject to bed in order to prove or disprove their claims. Which would probably be exactly what they want… Like the rest of this sordid little lot these pictures have been reimagined from actual news headlines.

I’m hooked on sex

I'm hooked on sex

I’m hooked on sex

Before you say it, I know. It sounds like the title to a Jeremy Kyle show but I have based this on a headline I read somewhere. Anyway, hypersexuality, erotomania, nymphomania, satyriasis or Don Juanism. Call it what you will but it all boils down to the same thing. And this lady has got that certain glint in her eye which means she’s looking for trouble. You have been warned.

Lesbians Anonymous

Does Lesbians Anonymous actually exist? A quick internet search reveals a few hits including a facebook group with just 29 likes. Now that’s progress. Anyway, our interpretation of this salacious headline also includes the tagline ‘help for women who love women’ which makes it sound more like some kind of self-help group. In fact though, now I think about it, the whole thing looks more like an advert for something akin to a ladies-only version of Grindr.

Something from the cellar (Blue Nun)

There I was aimlessly wandering the aisles of my local supermarket searching for an ingredient they undoubtedly didn’t have. I was feeling a little dispirited and glanced at the new wine description they’d put up for Blue Nun. Seeing the halfhearted description made me want to cry a little so I thought I’d see if I could jazz it up somewhat.

The previous description was ‘Popular wine from Germany with a citrusy tang and a hint of honey on the finish. Great with Asian noodles. Taste Guide 4.’ I think mine is a somewhat more honest appraisal of the wine’s true character. I’d like to think these will go unnoticed by the staff until some eagle eyed customer decides to spoil my fun and brings it to their attention. Only time will tell…

Amor Vincit Omnia

by night

 

by day

doorstep

fisheye

eyes closeup

There’s something going on at Camden Market. Slowly all the huts that make up a lot of the shops are being given a graffiti makeover and we managed to wangle ourselves an invite. Being the gritty street artists that we undoubtedly are we decided to go for something dark and urban.

Only joking. The title of this piece translates as ‘Love conquers all’ and is written above the door in Latin. Combined with the multitude of hearts surrounding this ladies’ face it would seem that she’s got nothing to worry about. Apart from the fact she seems to be eating a padlock. I’m not really sure about that. We added a little quote to the entry step ‘Your body is not a temple, it’s an amusement park. Enjoy the ride.’ It is Camden after all. Then, we added some LED eyes and, hey presto, you’ve got the finished piece. I’m not sure how long the LED’s will last but at least she should hopefully remain in place for some time to come. Thanks to Monoprixx for the daytime shots and the Real Art of Street Art for having us over to paint.

Cheers

Who wants to make love to me?

who_wants_to_make_love_to_me

This sultry little siren is giving you the eyes and making some pretty bold advances. What’s your course of action? WHAT’S YOUR COURSE OF ACTION??

Like the rest of this sordid little lot these pictures have been reimagined from actual news headlines. I’ve got no idea what this one was relating to but I’ve given it a pretty conventional interpretation.  I fill my head with this grubby nonsense so you don’t have to…
