During the reunion, it's revealed that the two non-professional models (the man owned a chain of hair salons, the woman was a computer science student) managed to accomplish that iconic decadent-yet-menacing look despite the fact that there was an unpictured woman holding the woman's dress together in the back and the man had a lap full of cat piss during the time of the shoot.

I don't care. The pic is still awesome.

Beat My High Score: 1942



I'm not claiming to be some sort of video game master, but the above is a score I achieved on an actual arcade machine. No emulators, no codes. Can you beat this score? If so, upload some photographic evidence and link to it in the comments. Then I'll come back and try to beat your score.

In this case, it's currently: 84830 at 1942
