WE HAVE DISCOVERED AN ANCIENT CACHE OF SEVENTIES SOFTCORE PORN PHOTOS TAKEN BY A VAN DRIVER. TODAY IS A GREAT DAY.

For today’s Friday Free for All, our regularly-scheduled, non-movie-related digression, an effusive thanks goes out to UptownAlmanac for their recent, incredible investigative work on one of our favorite topics, Rape Vans. They recently discovered in San Francisco the above van, which fits our definition of “Rape Van” on so many levels that I don’t even know where to begin (windowless, covered in rust, parked on the street…).  But here’s where it gets A THOUSAND TIMES BETTER. This Rape Van driver has a website.  And this Rape Van driver looks like this:

I. Want. To be married in that vest.  I want to be BURIED in that vest. Or stuffed in it and paraded before future generations as a symbol of pride.  But I don’t even have TIME to discuss how awesome Larry Jamison’s outfit is, because this story too quickly gets EVEN BETTER. Did I mention Larry Jamison’s website is dedicated to his photography?  Did I mention that Larry Jamison’s website has a section called “Boudoir”?  Is there ANY word in the English language more rapey-sounding than BOUDOIR?  But I’m getting ahead of myself.  These pictures… they simply must be seen.  (*crosses self, says 10 Hail Maries, thanks Gods for whatever I did to deserve this*)

The short version of this story is that I paid Eternal Sunshine/Green Hornet director Michel Gondry to draw me a tranny. AND DRAW ME A TRANNY HE DID.

The slightly more detailed version is that back in April, Gondry was offering a promotion through his website, where for $19.95 plus shipping, he would draw your portrait based on a picture provided via email.  So like any rational person would, I paid him the 20 bucks and sent in this picture I found of a naked she-male with a bottle of Hennessy in his butt (only I sent the uncensored version). Then today I received this fetching water color, hand signed by the artist himself.  And you can tell it’s an authentic original, because there’s even paint on the reverse side.  I’m a little sad that Gondry didn’t paint the tranny penis, but I can hardly argue with someone who so beautifully captures the essence of his subject.

According to his website, kooky Eternal Sunshine and the upcoming Green Hornet director Michel Gondry will draw a portrait of you for $19.95 plus shipping.

Michel will personally sketch and sign your portrait based off of the photo that you submit via email. This personalized collectible can also be incorporated onto any item sold through this website. Please allow 6-8 weeks for delivery. [MichelGondry.com]

I’ve already emailed him my picture (he got the uncensored version).  In 6-8 weeks, this is going to be awesome. (*hums theme to Titanic*)
