How do you like your pin-ups? Beautifully deranged? Covered in blood? Deadly hot and just in time for Halloween? Damned if Charlie's Rippers aren't all of the above.

The relationship between artist and model has more than once dipped into sexy waters (Picasso, every Pre-Raphaelite painter ever, Lee Miller, Man Ray...) and Dr. Sketchy's is bringing this brand of artistic awesomeness to the masses. If you've ever wondered what it would be like to draw and lust, or maybe if you remember fighting down that Deadly Sin as a freshman artist the first time the model mounted the platform...

Even as a heterosexual woman, this Phillyist will be the first to admit that there are few things more beautiful than the female body. And the less covering it, the better.

On Friday we previewed Catwalk Tragedy, and we made the trip to the New Alhambra Arena on Saturday night for a few photos.



Model: Lauren WK (borderline NSFW)

The area's best alt models will stalk the runway on Saturday night at New Alhambra Arena in a twisted anti-pageant showdown. Catwalk Tragedy 4 promises to turn up the heat with stunning models, punk fashions and hot beats.

Every weekday of December (except for December 25, that is), Phillyist will be counting down to 2008 with our highlights from the past year and our predictions for the next. If you have a list you'd like to submit, let us know! Twelve months and ten epochal collapses later, we're nearing 2008 and a fresh calendar year for career (or structural) decimation. Let's count 'em down from 10: 10. Pete Doherty (again) 2007 hasn’t been...

So you're a fashion student, and you're taking a class about designing clothes for children. If there aren't a lot of Doogie Housers hanging around campus, you'll need to find some models elsewhere. The Drexel Fashion Department did just that, partnering with Charles R. Drew School, a UCity elementary school. An exhibit of the results, Project Imagine, opens Thursday night at Nexus, and runs through July 23rd.

D-Mac over at Philadelphia Will Do just emailed us to let us know about this article in today's Inquirer. We think that good "roll" models don't just eat right and exercise – they also copy edit.

SFist commeters pose for before and aftershocks when the mayor commemorates a 1906 earthquake...at 4:30 in the morning. A hot tip on the Chronicle vending machines comes in and the SFist war correspondent risks life and limb to post this dispatch from the frontlines.

Last night when Phillyist was looking up some baseball stats, we found this cool link to a database of major league baseball uniforms. The database allows you to search for the uniforms of desired teams by league, city, and range of years, and then displays the home and road uniforms of the team for each year in the range.

Our new, weekly look into the odd, strange and bizarre at one .org.

star, following allegations of domestic violence. The presiding judge did not issue the order, but strongly reccommended the two stay apart. We have no real opinion on this matter, since the only thing we think of when we hear Hasselhoff's name is this video. (Via The Associated Press.)

You may or may not have heard that The Philadelphia Free Library is working with architect Moshe Safdie to renovate and expand the Beaux Arts building. (And if you hadn't heard it before, you've heard it now.) If you're curious about the plans (or just dig architecture), stop by the The Gershman Y (Broad and Pine Streets) between December 4th & January 29th, where they'll be exhibiting "Safdie’s models, photographs, renderings, and videos" so you can get an idea of what the Beaux Arts is in for. Personally, we don't care too much what they do with it so long as they put all those lovely, lovely books back when they're done. (Or, we could hold on to them if there's not enough room in the 160,000 square foot addition. Either way.)

It should come as no surprise that Phillyist is aggressively local. And why not? There’s good livin’ in Philadelphia - cheap real estate (compared to other Eastern cities, anyway), restaurants and culture that hold their own at the very least, and teams in every major sport that, even if they’re not always good, are always fun to follow.

Have you ever wondered what happened to the tumor that was removed from President Grover Cleveland’s face during that secret surgery back in 1893? Here at Phillyist we can’t go more than a few days without someone agitatedly voicing their conspiratorial concerns with the lengths that the government has taken to conceal GC’s mystery growth. Was it the CIA? Did aliens snatch it? Chappaquiddick, was it Chappaquiddick? It could have been Chappaquiddick. Even Robert Stack couldn’t make heads or tails of the fiasco on Unsolved Mysteries. We thought the case was closed. Then we heard it was floating in a jar somewhere in the Mutter Museum at the College of Physicians of Philadelphia.

Enjoy PBS's Colonial Life, but wish it wasn't so...educational? Have a hard time watching people try to live in another era, when those people aren't models, and that era was oh-so-long ago? MTV may have the solution for you: The 70s House premiered tonight at 10:30. But wait, you might be saying, why did MTV pick this random decade, anyway? Two answers immediately come to mind: (1) To make use of the super-tight clothing, and (2) To make the rest of us feel old. Even if you never lived a day in the seventies, you will feel as mature as a Golden Girl when you watch these Real World wannabes try to figure out how to work a rotary phone. In fact, the most entertaining aspect of this show was watching the cast members freak out about being on this show instead of a hipper, less frightfully embarrassing one. No need to tune into this one next week -— or its inevitable successors in the seasons to come. Photo credit: Newsday
