It’s true a British accent makes anyone sound more interesting, but that’s only part of what makes people want to listen to rapper Misfit Dior. She first got attention for starring on VH1’s White Rapper Show (she was the only contestant good enough not to have to audition), but she’s been rhyming since she was 12. “I started because I was fascinated with gangsta rap, and I loved groups like N.W.A.,” she says. At 20, she met Proof, of D12, who gave her constructive criticism—and her name. “In the UK, if you’re cute you’re declared fit,” says Misfit. “We was kind of high when the name came up.” In honor ...
The explosion of tattooed, pierced, and otherwise modified models can be traced back to one Portland, Oregon, woman who was fed up with "siliconeenhanced Barbie dolls." Using her prior experience on the Web and the camera skills she learned in art school, Selena Moody (now known as Missy Suicide) snapped photos of her friends in pinup-style poses and worked with her friend and former boyfriend Sean Suhl to set up Suicidegirls.com as a place to post these sexy photo sets. "I'd always loved the knowing glances that Bettie page gave," Suicide recalls. "there's something empowering and beautiful about the pinup photos of the '50s that I thought was missing in ...
“Everybody thinks I came into the tattoo world with a red carpet at my feet,” says venerated artist Mister Cartoon. It’s easy to understand why this misconception exists: Cartoon was already well known in as a muralist and illustrator before becoming interested in tattooing. “Being a professional artist was a handicap,” he says. “I would have had an easier time if I had been selling disk brakes for a living.” Cartoon worked out of his mom’s kitchen (“I don’t advocate it,” he warns) for years before beginning an apprenticeship with Baby Ray at Spotlight. Now he’s working out of an inconspicuous three-floor loft in downtown L.A., where he deals exclusively with black-and-gray work. Cartoon’s pieces can be seen on celebrities like Eminem and, most recently, Meena Suvari. And, while it’s ...
There is a balance to accessorizing: You want to look like you’re not about to take shit from anyone, but you don’t want to over do it and end up more Prince than punk. For some, this balance is an inherent trait. If you’re not one of these people, meet Mitchell Binder. Binder started his accessories company, King Baby Studio—a line of hefty silver rings, pendants, buckles, and more—after working as an apprentice and casting his own silver pieces for friends out of a 500-square-foot studio. In the late ’90s, a group of Japanese collectors found his jewelry on eBay, flew to Southern California, and bought his whole stock for ...

The deepest baseball simulation in the majors returns with its signature game play, plus a few additions.

Later, string together your own SportsCenter highlight package of web gems and long balls to share online with the new Movie Maker tool. Now if we could just get someone to deliver a beer and a hot dog to our couch.
Sony’s PlayStation exclusive baseball game has 10-run ruled the competition for years now, but like the New York Yankees, that isn’t stopping the developers from upgrading its evil empire.
