My all time favorite stupid brainstorm idea is about a distro "hiring" the Art Team of a competing distro to help with their advertising, but for today's issue I stole another one from Rahul, just as hilarious in its cyclicity: brainstorm idea about making developers to give a shit about b...

Our friend Fedora just shot some sultry hot new stuff for Blue Blood and the set that just posted is really sexy. I love the candid punk feel captured and public nudity can be so much fun. Fedora takes what looks like a naked smoke break and the sexy tough girl attitude is thick. She’s also gr...
