Evermore Nevermore's 2nd Annual Zombie Bikini Contest Most of the time, zombies are scary. Sometimes they're funny (like Bill Murray in Zombieland), but very rarely are they cute. Evermore Nevermore challenged this with the second annual Zombie Bikini Contest, which featured undead cowgirls, beachgoers, and even a male swimmer. The ghoulish contest took place outside of Queen's Pizzeria & Cafe on Friday, June 8.


Electric Daisy Carnival 2012 Electric Daisy Carnival kicked off in Las Vegas, as bassheads from across the country gathered at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway for the nation's biggest EDC musical fest.

Emceed by gonzo showman Donny Vomit, the event was like a Suicide Girls revue mixed with the fun of a sideshow as artists like Heather Holiday performed spectacular stunts involving knives and swords while such dancers as Go-Go Amy and Alley Oops offered sexy stripteases.
