At this past weekend's Baltimore Book Festival, "I, Hoarder" limited myself to two purchases (I was, after all, financially challenged after that day's earlier trek to the Nostalgia Convention!), both for $2 a piece: a second edition copy of P. Adam Sitney's experimental cinema tome
Visionary Film: The American Avant-Garde 1943-1978 (because they just don't write 'em like that any more!) and, even-better-yet!, the
Alex Fine-curated limited edition zine,
Hairy Baltimore.
Hairy Baltimore zineJohn Waters famously called Baltimore "The Hairdo Capital of the World," though his generation grew up with the ducktails, mullets and beehive hon-do's that pre-date a lot of the 40 "Nouveau Balto" hairstyles depicted in this booklet.
Naturally, (young Nikola Tesla lookalike) Alex Fine, Baltimore's finest artist in my humble opinion (see
Alex Fine Illustration for further proof), is himself depicted in the pages of
Hairy:

Dan Deacon
Amanda OttoI hardly know any of the youngsters displayed in
Hairy Baltimore, but I'm learning thanks to this handy who's who guide to the current crop of unusually coiffed scenesters of Charm City. Oh, if you missed picking up a copy at the book festival, try asking at
Atomic Books. After all, iconic co-owner Benn Ray (looking like a cross between Charles Manson and actor John Hawkes) is also included in the zine. His likeness was drawn by
Noah Patrick Pfarr.

From the same movie as the crazy gangbang, Asa has rough and dirty anal sex with Nacho Vidal, a very intense pornactor! Asa is thrown around by her hair and legs, she's gagged, fucked in front of a mirror, spit on, etc! It's hard to show passion in screenshots, but you'll see it when you download it: Asa even admits she cried for the first time on camera in the interview afterwards! How about that! Enjoy!
