Babes of the New York Anime Festival
As the New York Anime Festival attests, Japanese animation isn’t all giant robots and schoolgirl panty-flashes. Turns out it’s mostly giant robot panty-flashes. These days anime culture covers a broad spectrum, from Adult Swim to video games to that section of Waterstones where all the emo kids camp out.
Despite anime’s rampant mainstreaming, one element remains intact — scantily-clad action babes. Even the most tame anime series features at least one doe-eyed hottie who’s prone to bending over for the flimsiest of reasons. Thankfully, events like the NY Anime Festival and the World Cosplay Summit inspire plenty of real-life ladies around the world to don tights, wigs and myriad paraphernalia to celebrate all that is anime.
Super high-jump into our gallery of anime and video game babes, expand your horizons and power up. Mighty Power Rocketship Team Asylum, go!
Diamond Jeans — For the Most Stylish Cowboy on Brokeback Mountain
Los Angeles jeans maker Key Closet is making the jeans you never knew you needed. Forget about rhinestones or acid wash — you can show the world that you’re willing to put your money where your arse is with a new line of designer jeans that go for a cool Rs40,000. That’s right, forty actual grand — and they’re not even bulletproof.The Naked Truth
What’s common between ‘Top Chef’ host Padma Lakshmi, ‘E!’ talk show host Chelsea Handler and ‘Dollhouse’ star Eliza Dushku? Not too much but the three bombshells each stripped for the May issue of Allure a.k.a the Nude Issue; this issue showcases famous women in provocative, yet tasteful nude photo sessions! You can only get your copies post April 21 but until then, savor these steaming, bodacious hot bods! They all had something to say about doing this too so enjoy!
The suggestive TV ad about Padma Lakshmi doing food porn is one thing; but Padma just loves being foxy! An excerpt from Allure’s interview should confirm this:
ALLURE: Do you sleep naked?
PL: “I tend to sleep in the nude. I’m an innately tactile person and a very sensual-leaning woman. You have to use the word ‘leaning’ or it sounds like I’m boasting! When I’m in my own private space, I do spend time with very little on.”
Sexy Skirts in Tennis
Why rake up unnecessary controversy about women’s tennis by staking claim that it’s ‘just there to sell sex’. We at Asylum learned to celebrate such events a long time ago, and that has definitely made us happier people!
This time around we would like to acknowledge all the haute stuff the women bring to the court. We highly appreciate the fact that these women are aware that the world is watching them, so they not only need to bring on their game, but get their garb grooving as well.
So give it up for those tennis skirts that rock – we simply cannot take our eyes off them. We guarantee you, they are quite interesting.
Famous Former Beauty Queens – Where Were They Then?
When McCain selected former beauty queen Sarah Palin as his running mate, we wondered what other public figures have sexy pageant pasts. So instead of the usual question “Where are they now?” we decided to ask “Where were they then?”
In the case of the women in this gallery, they were sashaying around in evening gowns and answering questions about world peace as beauty pageant contestants. (Because if there’s one thing we know, it’s that competing in pageants is all about talent and scholarships, and has absolutely nothing to do with bathing suits.)
Check out our gallery of famous former beauty queens and let us know which ones look better now than they did in their sashes, and which have felt the cruel sting of beauty’s fade since their reigns.
Ride the Playboy Girls, Burton Style
We hear snowboarders are as fond of naked ladies as they are of calling each other “dude”, so Burton’s Love Series — created in collaboration with Playboy — is probably a safe bet. Each snowboard deck in the line features a full-size nude photograph of a model from the magazine’s past.Ties You Wish You Could Play During the Staff Meeting
When forced to wear the corporate noose, we prefer the bow tie because it’s far more pretentious, laughable and doesn’t drop into our soup.
The Game Tie ties might just change that approach. Maybe. The Tetris is outlandishly ugly, yet there’s something totally awesome about the Pong tie. We looked at it too long, and it started to move.
Dr Dita Von Teese Experiments with Wonderbra
There was a time when we considered the Wonderbra to be false advertising, essentially the adult equivalent of stuffing a brassiere with Kleenex. But after seeing this new ad featuring Dita Von Teese, we see the undergarment in a totally different light.
The North American Field Guide to Lingerie
When it comes to lingerie, it’s a veritable Noah’s Ark of sizes, shapes and colors — and it all looks great.
But do you really understand and appreciate them? You’ve probably been more focused on wooing your girl than sizing up these wonders of modern lace.
More Sexy Virgin Mary Art Divides the Americas
What is it with the Americas and sexy Virgin Mary pictures? Barely a month after Playboy Mexico was attacked for publishing an allegedly Madonna influenced cover, another similar controversy arose in Chile.
