What, you didn’t think I’d go the whole day without giving y’all a Casual Friday picture, did you? And really, what better way to head into the long weekend than with Cameron, a true American if there ever was one. He’s a simple man who lives by a simple code, who enjoys simple pleasures: He likes his beer cold, his T.V. loud, and his testicles a-danglin’. Click through to de-Bud, of course.

And that’ll be that, kids. What went down this week?

- Andy covered his wang, tilted his chin and showed us his vertical lowbrets.

- BME is having a sexy sex toy sale, and Katy got so excited that she ended up covered in blood somehow.

- Paul Booth won’t let Meghan McCain jump the line. Ha ha.

- Marina checked in with another gorgeous large-scale piece.

- Our unabashed hipster post is at well over 100 comments and counting. I have no absolutely no idea what will spur an emotional reaction from our readers, apparently.

- If you can, please help Matt Brawley and CoRE.

And there you have it! I’ll poke my head in over the weekend, and then we’ll fire this bitch back up on Monday morning. Until then, ModBloggers, enjoy yourselves, stay safe (unless you’re firing off an M80 in my honor, in which case please be as reckless as possible) and, as always, thank you for your continued support of BME.

We’ll confess that the last photo of knifefight to be featured on ModBlog (this one) is one of our favorite pictures we’ve ever posted, so we were obviously excited to see her grace our inbox yet again. She’s got a slightly different look going on this time around, but you know what? We’re alright with that. Another striking shot from this set by photographer Jeff Hui, after the jump.

And hey, would you look at that, ModBloggers? It’s Friday, and not just for free-born men of the U.S.A.

… as much as it may sorta look like one (minus the low-cut V-neck hipster tees and grey leggings, of course). What it is, however, is a couple of kids, very much in love, very much in Sweden, in various stages of undress. Hooray!

We share our love for funny tattoos and bright colours. That’s what keeps us together. We both have knuckle-tattoos, chestpieces, septum and smiley piercings. When one of us does something, the other one does the same thing! We both even have our screen-names tattooed on the other’s ankle. We know, we’re geeky.

Oh God yes, are you ever. But hey, you’re cute, so we’ll let it slide. More shots, post-jump.

It just occurred to me that it’s been an eternity since we featured anything by way of all-star BME photo submitter Kitano Karyuudo and the lovely Eva, pictured above; I really love the starkness of the pictures in this set (among other, more obvious things). More photos, all click-throughable, after the jump, but if that’s not enough, check BME/Hard for their extensive gallery.

And finally, folks, let’s wrap things up today with a tale of steampunk love, as told by Noah up there:

[This was] taken at Metrocon 2009 in Tampa, Florida, this past weekend. There was a steampunk theme to the whole convention, so naturally the better half and I went all-out for it. One of the notable differences between the two pictures (the other is currently the cover on BME) is that in the time between them, I (successfully) proposed to my fiancee on stage in front of an entire convention center full of anime and gaming fans. And, I got numerous comments all weekend both on the hair and piercings.

The lat time we saw Andy around these parts, it was nothin’ but wang, which, hey, yielded few complaints. But now, we’ve got an update on his vertical lowbrets (which we’ve seen a few times in the past), freshly up to 3.2 mm., potentially on their way to 4 mm., and in mighty good health from the looks of things. After the jump, a shot of that adorable punim from a better angle, chops and all.

Let’s see…guns? Check. Money? Check. Why do I feel like Mia is forgetting something?

Of course! Quick, someone send lawyers—the shit’s gonna hit the fan.

And now, folks, our week has come to an end. What went on this time around?

- The horrible Starface-Gate came to a welcome end.

- Oh hey, a “permanent” corset!

- This is just one of the nicest damn portraits—Dali or otherwise—you’re gonna see in quite some time.

- And here is some shocking vulgarity, etc.

- Come to Tattoo Hollywood! Come on, you know you want to.

Now get off the computer—it’s glorious outside. Enjoy your weekend, friends, and thank you for your continued support of BME.
