More than 5,000 participants gathered on the chilly steps of the Sydney Opera House today for "Mardi Gras: The Base," an art installation by well-known artist Spencer Tunick. Subjects were instructed to do a number of poses, from standing up, lying down and even embracing cheek to cheek, for over an hour. Tunick, who has produced almost 100 naked installations around the world, says, "the title ...

Several dozen New Yorkers enjoyed a cab ride home with their goodies doused in paint after a "Naked Body Painting Party" went down at Gallery Bar in NYC. With the guidance of professional artists and an open bar, participants happily dropped their drawers and picked up a paintbrush in an effort to raise money for Eco Art Space. We say all in good fun, but only until somebody wakes up hammered ...

Happy Birthday, Captain Kirk. If anyone deserves a ball thrown in his honor, it's James Tiberius, legendary leader of the USS Enterprise. And that's just what some creative Trekkers did at The Shat Ball, an event at Brooklyn's Knitting Factory honoring both the Captain and the beloved Priceline.com spokesperson / greatest actor who ever lived who portrayed him.

Asylum's lifelong boyhood dreams officially came true this past weekend as our obsession with comics and weakness for tassel-twirling ladies combined during Epic Win's Holy Sh*t ... Batman! Burlesque. Nerds and classic striptease lovers filled the aisles of the sold-out show as everyone from Harvey Dent to Harley Quinn showed up and stripped down. (We also found out that Two-Face's disfiguring ...

What's better than sledding for cash prizes? Monkey robots. What's better than monkey robots? Watching hot German-lady chesticles jiggle down a hill on a cold, snowy day. Over 14,000 skin-lovin' spectators turned out for the Second Annual International Nude Sledge Race this past weekend. Participants uniformed in nothing more than helmets, shoes and bikini bottoms flew down 100-meter hills for ...

The first annual NYC WingFest kicked off this past weekend and despite our deep hatred for unlimited buffalo wings and cute girls serving bottomless pitchers of beer, Asylum was forced to attend. You're welcome. Five of the city's best wing spots were invited to battle for the crown of NYC's Best Buffalo Wings. After a long and saucy bloodbath, our friends at BroBible and The Social Scholar named ...

We're always game for a show that combines sexy women, burlesque dancing and sacrilegious references to the Lord's Book. That's why on Sunday night in New York, Asylum was the first in line at the Delancey Lounge for a performance of "Storybook Burlesque Presents: The Bible".
