Big rats take over a Taco Bell, KFC. No Joke
Big Rats in Taco Bell/KFC in NYC
Crazy footage of rats invested inside a New York Taco Bell/KFC. At least you know they use real meat….this location has since been closed down. I wonder why?

How's Vegas?
Vegas is great most of the time. The weather has been odd though.
Do you gamble at all?
Not a big gambler. I might throw a dollar or two in a machine or play $20 on a black jack table. I can't stand losing money!
How did you meet your husband? What does he like most about you?
I actually met him at my old bar in Cali. I think he likes me because Im not like all the rest of the girls.
DAYNA
DELUX
I suppose it was like any other childhood in any other city. Well, except living with my grandmothers in the country. Shooting guns, playing in the lake, and having tons of animals around. That was the best times!
What were you like in high school, would anyone be shocked at what you are doing now?
I was a nerd. I'm not really sure if they would be shocked. I was into acting then so they'd probably not be surprised.
Who was the first photographer you worked with? How was that experience?
Wow I can't think of the first which would've been when I was really young. When I started modeling again my first was Danni from Cat Fight studios. She is awesome.
Where could new fans find you?
Everywhere! Facebook, myspace, my website, Twitter, and so on.
What was the last concert you attended?
Skinny Puppy
Do you hit the road at all?
Not since I had the baby. Life has mellowed out a lot.
Any current projects you would like to share with us?
Im not at liberty to talk about them right now. Fingers crossed you'll see them in the future.
Favorite BBQ joint and why?
Not a big fan of meat especially on the bone. I know, its crazy! I'm really not into BBQ
What's the sexiest part of a man's personality?
His humor.
What got you into modeling?
Ha, my mom back when I was 12.
Favorite Burger joint, and why?
In-N-Out burger because its great and cheap!
What are you attracted to most about a man?
Personality.. he's got to make me laugh and keep me interested.
You studied acting, do you think it reflects what you do today? Where else would you like to take it?
For sure, It gave me the ability to show emotion not only through words. I would love to be able to act again. Ill go where ever the road takes me.
What do you do when your not in front of the camera?
Take care of my husband and baby.

STYLIST:
VALERIE DE
LEON
Valerie De Leon is a young stylist and fashion go-to girl from Miami. She has a great blog that feature her flamboyant designs and expression. Here's some of her work, and in her own words.
(Left) Vintage Annie Reva for Bugatchi blazer (originally a solid orange color), vintage gold gloves, 50s cateyes
Vintage Gottex 50s style bikini, 60s checkered sunglasses from C. Madeleine's, antenna embedded into beehive from radioshack
vintage 80s top, vintage bangles, vintage striped hat, vintage stripe earrings
"Shot these back in February for little miss Tokoy Diiva. I had been meaning to shoot the first picture for over year. I dreamt this shoot concept up last March while staring out into space and wondering about how people derive their interests/personalities from what's shown in the media, especially the TV. I thought it was kind of pathetic how, obviously i'm generalizing here, masses of men and women have resorted to using logos and brand names to enhance their image and boost their status in society.

Funny Awkward Family photos
“This photo was taken in 1950 while our family was on a summer vacation at the Jersey Shore. I am the lovely creature on the left with a horrendous case of poison sumac and look like a creature from outer space. My two brothers seem only intent on shooting the photographer, and my mother, grandmother and grandfather seem unfazed by this weird person in the photo with them. How did I ever allow anyone to take my photo looking like this? I was just 6 years old and probably didn’t think twice about it at the time.”
Haha, this website is so freaking funny. I got these pics from AwkwardFamilyPhotos.com. They have some really funny pictures of family moments. I've posted a few so you guys can see what I'm talking about. Check it out!
AWKWARD

Excuse me, and you are??

The photo work of Shai Yehezkel
Tel-Aviv based photographer Shai Yehezkel is quite an interesting character I must admit. Not only has he been featured in various magazines, billboards and catalogues; he also served as a military photographer covering the earthquake in Turkey (in ’99) and the world aid mission to Kosovo amongst others.
His acclaimed pictures have not only been featured in the international media, they were even published on the cover for the NY Times magazine.
” -During my military service I have been exposed to a world which blocked my inner feelings and which was the reason why I was hiding behind the lens. Whether it was witnessing and documenting the horror at Kosovo, or the devastating earth quake in Turkey which has placed me in a unfamiliar environment of dead people, I feel it has lead me to sense my obligation to document and share my emotions above any personal difficulty. Although times were hard I tried to showcase the small exciting and happy little spontaneous moments in these tremendous tragedies which were unfolding in front of my own eyes.”
We were eager to hear how Shai’s military experience helped him in becoming an astonishing fashion photographer: ”
-Throughout my 7 years of military experience has lead me to exercise my ability in telling a story, even if it was painful or dramatic. I feel related to any photographer that really makes an effort of telling a story through his pictures and is able to excite us as a viewer.”

Andy Warhol Quotes on life, fame, money
ON LIFE:
"Isn't life a series of images that change as they repeat themselves?" – Andy Warhol
“Before I was shot, I always thought that I was more half-there than all-there -- I always suspected that I was watching TV instead of living life. Right when I was being shot and ever since, I knew that I was watching television.” – Andy Warhol
“Since people are going to be living longer and getting older, they'll just have to learn how to be babies longer.” – Andy Warhol
ON FAME:
In the future, everyone will be famous for 15 minutes.” – Andy Warhol
I've decided something: Commercial things really do stink. As soon as it becomes commercial for a mass market it really stinks. – Andy Warhol
ON MONEY:
“A lady friend of mine asked me,"Well, what do you love most?" That's how I started painting money.” – Andy Warhol
“Being good in business is the most fascinating kind of art. Making money is art and working is art and good business is the best art.” – Andy Warhol

How did you meet your boyfriend?
Cutting his hair, LOL! I started cutting his hair about 4 years ago, every 5 weeks. We didn't start dating till over a year ago.We both had huge crushes on each other, but we're both shy (believe or not) And I didn't want to overstep my professional boundaries. So it was a slow dating process. Which is great because we had that foundation of friendship first.
Tell us a little bit about your hair styling
What are you working on now?
My own solo site. Its called LynnPops.com. (Lynn is my middle name) All my focus in the last 6 months have gone to making this site. It will be updated weekly with photo sets, videos, blog entries, member chats, etc.
What do you like better, doing hair or being in front of the camera?
Do you style your own hair ever for shoots?
Always. I'm good with my own hair and makeup. Any time I've had some one else do my make up or hair, I've been disappointed.
Whats your biggest guilty pleasure and why?
Chocolate! I always crave it at night. I know, I'm So BAD, ha ha
What are you interested in doing next in modeling?
Getting LynnPops.com to launch. I'm super stoked on having my very own solo site!!! So we'll see how that goes. Also putting more effort in getting published in magazines.
Where can we see pictures of you?
You can see ALL updated photos at LynnPops.com
How did you get into the nude photo shoots, was it easy for you?
I started with black and white artistic nudes. It wasn't easy at first. I would always keep my panties on. I felt insecure and wasn't comfortable in front of the camera yet. 3 years later, here I am. : D
