Saw this dude in the same outfit at the corner of 6th and Lamar on Thursday morning. The thong was odd, but the real shocker is that he was barefoot.

I can't help but wonder what Leslie thinks...

The red head in the American Apparel ad is Faye Valentine,porn star.....SEXY porn star.

Grape Ape: not true, why would I lie to you?

the ads are controlled across the entire network by someone other than us.

Grape Ape

Of course you do, you choose to take their money and show their ads. You have all the control.

Justin Cox

gsgreetings: we dont control those.

gsgreetings

sure.. censor the butt floss bikini dude, but keep serving up those american apparel ads in the sidebar with chicks that look like amateur 70's porn actresses and androgynous short short guys that look like every other beauty bar patron..

yep, butts are perfectly OK, but we wouldn't want to get you fired from work from viewing said butts.

Slickshu:

I can't find the post you're referring to, but I'm guessing if there was full-nudity, the photos came "after the jump" so they wouldnt show up w/o the reader clicking.

Either way, I covered up the man's ass as a courtesy to our readers who might check the site from a work.

I have a friend who lives in Clarksville and talks about a guy she sees in her neighborhood who walks around like that, wonder if it's the same guy.

Slickshu

Just curious, why does Austinist feel the need to cover up the mans behind? You guys gave us full nudity repeatedly in your recent photos from SFist's bizarre bondage fest. Do you think we're a bunch of Baptists -- people will start wiggin' out if they see a butt?

Grape Ape

I was going to ask if this was the same guy as the one who rides the bike. Apprently he found some sort of underground fame. I heard a film crew talking to him the other day on the Lamar ped bridge. They were telling him how they had been looking for him or something. I'm sure that only fed his ego.

wish he lived in MY neighborhood...

Scooby

He was pushing a bike across Riverside headed to the S. 1st bridge on Friday afternoon.

Didn't realize that the butt-floss banana hammock was making a comeback.
