Okay, so I remembered that you told me that you think a lot of your OCs have Taylor Swift songs related to them so...

OC ASKS: Which Red Taylor Swift songs remind you of which OC and why?

(Basically match your OC with a Taylor song, let me know if you like this asks and I might ask about all her albums)

Red (As Told By My OCs)

State of Grace- Regina Grimhilde x Harry Hook aka The Princess & The Pirate (Descendants)

Relatable lyrics- And I never/Saw you coming/And I’ll never/ Be the same/ You come around and the armor falls/Pierce the room like a cannonball/Now all we know is don’t let go/We are alone, just you and me/ Up in your room and our slates are clean

When 9 year old Regina snuck out of her castle after 3 years under Maleficent's banishment, she wasn't sure what to expect. She wasn't expecting to run headfirst into a young pirate who would then hide her from the evil fairy and her goblins. She certainly wasn't expecting floor that young pirate to become everything she ever wanted. With Harry, there were no expectations, no complaints about her lack of makeu-p, no distaste for her love of swords over sewing, no need to be the fairest off them all. She was Regina and Harry loved her as she was. And she loved him for that.

Red- Cali Tanner x Jerome Valeska aka Greatest Show (Gotham)

Relatable Lyrics- Loving him is like driving a new Maserati down a dead-end street/Faster than the wind, passionate as sin, ending so suddenly

Jerome always blew into Carli's life like a hurricane. He'd show up and she'd be completely caught up in him and whatever he was doing. Then, as quick as he came, he'd be gone again leaving her standing there alone and broken-hearted in the middle of the wreckage. It definitely wasn't healthy, but God, she wouldn't trade that time for anything!

Treacherous- Sami Upton x Sebastian Smythe aka Romeo & Juliet (Glee)

Relatable Lyrics- This hope is treacherous/This daydream is dangerous

At first glance, nothing about Sami and Sebastian should work. He's a mean rich, private schoolboy who's willing to do anything to get ahead (mostly) and she's a sweet, middle-class, public schoolgirl who just wants everyone to get along (mostly). Their schools are rivals and their Glee clubs DON'T get along. If you see these two alone, though, they're just two kids falling in love, afraid to be torn apart by the cutthroat world of show choir.

I Knew You Were Trouble- Rose Smythe x Mark Blaine aka Fire & Ice (The Flash)

Relatable Lyrics- I guess you didn't care, and I guess I liked that/And when I fell hard, you took a step back/Without me

Rose is still figuring out exactly how she feels about Mark. There's one thing she's known since the moment she met him, though. The boy is trouble.

All Too Well- Roni Stark x Peter Maximoff aka Quickfyre (Marvel)

Relatable Lyrics- Photo album on the counter. Your cheeks were turning red/ You used to be a little kid with glasses in a twin-sized bed/ And your mother's telling stories 'bout you on the tee-ball team/ You told me 'bout your past thinking your future was me

Peter and Roni were the epitome of a first love. Everyone who saw them thought they would be together forever. As the years passed, though, they found themselves fighting more and more. After one major blow up, Peter came back to an empty room to find a note from Roni that just said "I'm sorry." She had gone home to her brother and never looked back. If anyone bothered to look close enough, though, they'd see that Peter still keeps the watch sure gave him for his birthday one year and Roni still sleeps in his old Pink Floyd t-shirt.

22- Cora Hargreeves & Willow Hargreeves (@magicalmystery-muses ) (The Umrella Academy)

Relatable Lyrics- It seems like one of those nights/We ditch the whole scene/And end up dreamin' instead of sleeping

In the Hargreeves household, things are rough. Dad's always pushing you to improve, Diego and Luther are always fighting, your powers won't do what you want. Sometimes, all you can do is dream. Dream about a life away from it all, of a future where you finally get what you want, of being happy. That's what Cora and Willow have done their whole lives. When they can't sleep, they sit outside and dream, just two sisters, the plants, and the stars.

I Almost Do- Rose Smythe x Cisco Ramon aka GingerVibe (The Flash)

Relatable Lyrics- And I just wanna tell you/It takes everything in me, not to call you/And I wish I could run to you/And I hope you know that every time I don't/I almost do

During the four years Rose and Cisco were together, things were as easy as breathing. She was his best friend and he was hers (that's still true). Then a Collector from a parallel universe showed up and Rose knew she was going to lose him. She wasn't angry or jealous (ok maybe a little). Rose knew that Gypsy understood Cisco in a way she never could. Still, he was her first real love. Even now, on lonely nights when she misses the feeling of his arms around her while they watch movies on the couch, she has to stop herself from reaching for the phone.

We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together- Drea Jones x Reggie Mantle aka Dreggie (Riverdale)

Relatable Lyrics- You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me/ But we are never, ever, ever, /Getting back together

High school, a time to learn who you are and have fun, and maybe get your heart broken. Everyone at Riverdale High was surprised when Reggie and Drea had started dating. They were polar opposites, but that didn't seem to matter. They fell for each other hard and fast. Then, the summer before sophomore year, she caught him with a girl from the swim team and she was done! Now the Vixens and the Bulldogs never stop heading about it.

Stay, Stay, Stay- Rikki Lane x JJ Maybank aka MayLane (Outer Banks)

Relatable Lyrics- You took the time to memorize me/My fears, my hopes and dreams/ I just like hanging out with you/ All the timee/ All those times that you didn't leave/ It's been occurring to me/ I'd like to hang out with you/ For my whole life/Stay/And I'll be loving you for quite some time

JJ and Rikki are all about fun. Always have been. Two smiles like sunshine and love as easy as an ocean wave. Even the calmest waters have their storms, though. When Rikki's temper flares or JJ's insecurity makes him want to run, there's always a moment where the other tells them "I love you. I'm not going anywhere." It's a moment that just shows how much love there is between them.

The Last Time- Kris Smythe x John Constantine aka Hellish Scream (Legends of Tomorrow)

Relatable Lyrics- And you open your eyes into mine/ And everything feels better/And right before your eyes/ I'm breaking, no past/No reasons why/Just you and me

Anyone who knows John Constantine know he's a broken man. He's a loner who never lets anyone close enough to break down his walls. Then, he meets a girl who literally walls through walls . She's broken in her own ways, but when they're together, none of it matters. The past, the future, the horrors they've faced, they all just melt away.

Holy Ground- Roni Stark x Remy LeBeau aka Reni (Marvel)

Relatable Lyrics- Took off faster than a green light, go/ Hey, you skip the conversation when you already know/I left a note on the door with a joke we'd made/ And that was the first day/ And darling, it was good/ Never looking down/ And right there where we stood/ Was holy ground

After leaving the Xavier mansion, Roni joined her brother as he toured the world drinking, partying, and trying to forget what she had left behind. She met Remy on a random trip to New Orleans. From the moment they laid eyes on each other, it was like someone lit a fuse on a firework! Every touch left sparks in its wake and every moment was a religious experience.

Sad Beautiful Tragic- Roxy Winchester x Ash Miles aka Roxash (Supernatural)

Relatable Lyrics- We had a beautiful magic love affair/What a sad, beautiful, tragic love affair/In dreams, I meet you in warm conversation

Dating as a hunter was always hard. You're constantly moving, constantly in danger, and usually don't trust anyone. When Roxy met the supposed genius who had just fallen off the Roadhouse's pool table, she wasn't expecting him to become a part of her life. She certainly didn't expect to find her soulmate in that little saloon. Quick kisses and stolen moments between hunts became long nights and a week spent together. No one was surprised when Ash asked her to marry him. It was beautiful. Then with one spark it was tragic. And she was left crying among the ashes.

The Lucky One- Roni Tanner x Tommy Merlyn aka Rommy (Arrow)

Relatable Lyrics- Now, it’s big black cars and Riviera views/And your lover in the foyer doesn’t even know you/And your secrets end up splashed on the news front page/And they tell you that you’re lucky, but you’re so confused

Roni and Tommy are used to the spotlight. When your families are two of the three richest in the city, everything you do is watched. They've heard their whole lives how they're so lucky they got fancy cars or cool clothes. That was all great, but when they finally started dating, they just wanted a normal relationship. Now, everybody's telling them how lucky they are too be the most famous couple in Starting City. All the two of them can think is "Are we really the lucky ones?"

Everything Has Changed- Gwen Macintosh x Agent Tequila aka Tequila Sunrise (Kingsman)

Relatable Lyrics- And all I've seen since 18 hours ago/ Is green eyes and freckles and your smile/In the back of my mind, making me feel like /I just wanna know you better

So what if they didn't meet in a "normal" way? Hand-to-hand combat is TOTALLY a meet-cute if you do it while flirting! Whatever, all Gwen knows is that cowboy is hot. From the moment she met him she couldn't stop thinking about his sparkling eyes and easy smile. She barely knew him, but she could already imagine spending forever with him. If it took saving the world to make that happen, she's the first one on the plane.

Starlight- Alexa Cantwood x Lucian Grimes aka Allucian( Percy Jackson & the Olympians)

Relatable Lyrics- We were seventeen and crazy, running wild, wild/ Can't remember what song it was playing when we walked in/The night we snuck into a yacht club party/ Pretending to be a duchess and a prince

When you're a demigod, life is rarely simple or easy. Usually the best you can hope for is to make it to adulthood without being eaten by monsters. When you find love, it can make you feel like you're floating on air. Such was the case with Alexa and Lucian. Every summer, the two of them are a force to be reckoned with. They're constantly on the lookout for the next adventure, whether it's saving the world or just winning capture the flag.

Begin Again- Kris Smythe x Ray Palmer aka Smalmer (Legends of Tomorrow)

Relatable Lyrics- And we walked down the block to my car/ And I almost brought him up/ But you start to talk about the movies/ That your family watches every single Christmas/ And I want to talk about that/ And for the first time, what's past is past/ 'Cause you throw your head back laughing like a little kid

After losing Leonard, Kris didn't think she would ever love anyone else. She shut everyone out, even her brothers. She was ruthless and cold. She barely said a word to anyone for six months. Then one night, Ray found her sitting cross-legged on the table in the galley staring into a mug of plain hot cocoa sadly. After a moment, he grabbed a bag of mini marshmallows from the pantry and offered them to the surprised girl. "It's not hot cocoa without them, right?" He asked. It had earned him a small, sad smile and a nod. He sat next to her and she began softly telling stories about Leonard and the years they had spent together. After that night, she began to open up again. She let people into her world again. She and Ray grew closer until one day she realized she'd done the exact thing she'd sworn never to do. She'd fallen in love again.

The Moment I Knew- Sami Upton x Noah Puckerman aka Pucker Up (Glee)

Relatable Lyrics- And it was like slow motion/ Standing there in my party dress/ In red lipstick/ With no one to impress/ And they're all laughing/ As I'm looking around the room/ But there was one thing missing/ And that was the moment I knew

Being dumped in high school is heartbreaking enough. Finding out you're being dumped because your boyfriend of two years sings a love song to another girl in front of the whole class is downright soul crushing. Sami had wanted to hate Noah, to hate Lauren Zizes, to yell and scream, but she couldn't. All she could do was sit in the back row of Glee Club and try to hide the tears running down her cheeks. As much as she wanted to hate him, she couldn't. She couldn't because she loved him.

Come Back.. Be Here- Natalie Coleman x Leonid aka WindWriter (The Kane Chronicles)

Relatable Lyrics- And this is when the feeling sinks in/ I don't wanna miss you like this/ Come back, be here,

Learn the Path of the Gods and unlock your ancient magical talents? Simple. Defeat an ancient Chaos serpent and save the world? Easy peasy! Team up with Greek demigods to stop a psychotic ghost from becoming an evil hybrid goddess? Just a typical Tuesday at Brooklyn House! Date a boy who lives on the other side of the world? Who knew that would be the hard part? Nat loves Leonid. He smart, sweet, brave, and he always makes her laugh. But between her helping run the Twenty- first Nome, him spending half his time in Cairo with Amos, and their own studies, sometimes it's hard to find time to spend together. It can get rough sometimes, but they faced the end of the world and they know they can face anything.

Girl At Home- Ryder Martin x Shane Walsh aka Fuck No! (The Walking Dead)

Relatable Lyrics- I just want to make sure/ You understand perfectly/ You're the kind of man who makes me sad/While she waits up/ You chase down the newest thing/ And take for granted what you have/ And it would be a fine proposition/ If I was a stupid girl

Everybody in the group knows Ryder is head over heels in love with Daryl. They also i know that Shane says he loves Lori. So, Ryder wonders, why is he sitting here on top of the RV on my guard shift instead of in Lori's tent? Why is he looking at me like that? And WHY is he getting closer???

Kadam Fic: Greetings From Las Vegas

Decided I should probably answer at least one or two of the Kadam Week prompts before too much time passed.  :)

The prompt was this one   The story is pure fluffy fluff.

~*~*~*~*~*~

“Come on, come on . . . just one more little crossbones . . .   Eeee . . . YES!  Oh my gosh! Come to papa, you lovely little doubloons!”

Adam grinned at Kurt, who was bouncing in his chair and pumping both fists. He leaned over to look at his boyfriend’s blinking, clanging slot machine and his eyes opened wide with surprise. “Oh my goodness. Kurt, you’ve just made $500 on a single spin!  If I’d known you would be so lucky, I’d have brought you to Vegas ages ago.”

Bouncing on his red leather bar-style chair, Kurt pondered the cartoon pirate that had just popped up daring him to spin again and double his winnings. He had been slightly reluctant to try the ‘Pirate Booty’ slot machine at first, a little turned off by the ‘buxom wench’ decorating it, but since Adam was already playing the Haunted House game next to it, he had decided to give it a whirl. Much to his delight, the machine had proved to be a hot one. He had built his original twenty dollar investment into nearly six hundred dollars over the course of an hour. He had been making small steady gains until he finally got a chance at a bonus round.

Adam had not done as well with his own machine, but he had managed to make a slim profit, and he had picked up a hundred dollars playing blackjack that morning so he had no complaints.  Watching Kurt’s growing delight over an amazing streak of beginner’s luck had him enjoying their shared casino experience even more.

Kurt poised his finger over the Spin button, bit his lip, glanced at Adam, and abruptly changed his mind and punched Cash Out instead. “I just can’t,” he explained. “It’s really tempting, but I feel like all the littler wins were just leading up to this one, and I would be so disappointed in myself if I pushed my luck and lost everything.”

“A wise decision,” Adam agreed, pleased to see that Kurt’s sensible side had not been overridden by the lure of easy money. “I seem to be at an impasse with this machine. I’ve been winning and losing the same five dollars for the last thirty minutes, so I suggest we try something different. Would you like to play another game, or should we go somewhere else for a while?”

Eyes shining, Kurt replied, “I didn’t actually expect to win any money on this trip. I brought along the cash from my tips, figuring I could stand to lose that much, but instead I’ve been winning like crazy!  And since I did win, I think we should let ourselves be frivolous for once, and blow some of it on something completely fun and Vegasy.”

Adam laughed. “An excellent idea, and I agree. I also assumed we’d do no more than break even, so I’ve been careful to insure that my own funds would still stretch far enough to cover our hotel room and meals.”

“I’d be happy to share the costs,” Kurt reminded him. “Don’t forget, you covered the flight too.”

Shaking his head at Kurt’s offer, he said, “No, no, darling. I don’t want you to do that. As I told you when I booked the flight, I had a few air miles I needed to use up before they expired, and this is my gift to you. I won’t have you paying your own way on your birthday. I’ve got us.” 

“All right, I won’t push. Just know that the offer stands if you do need help. ”  Kurt sighed happily. “I still can’t believe you overheard me telling Rachel that I’ve always wanted to see Las Vegas, and saved up your money and those air miles that I know you were going to use to visit home, just so you could bring me here for my birthday.”

Adam shrugged, as if the sacrifice had been nothing at all. “Don’t think I had enough to reach Heathrow, and mum and dad are going to be in Madrid for a combined medical conference and couples retreat this summer, so they wouldn’t be disappointed if I skipped. Besides, my gesture wasn’t entirely selfless. I’d been longed for a holiday with just the two of us.”  

“Me too, just don’t even try to tell me this isn’t amazing,” Kurt said, giving his hand a squeeze. “Because it is, and so are you.” 

He did not say it out loud, but the grandness of the gift itself meant less to him than the knowledge that Adam must have spent months planning and budgeting just for the joy of giving it. His last boyfriend had loved making grand gestures, but they had largely been empty spectacles designed to make Blaine look good, and deflect any anger or hurt that might justifiably be aimed at him. Adam had no such ulterior motive. He was caring and thoughtful to everyone, and he hadn’t even told anyone what he was planning until it came time to book the airline tickets, and then he had confessed his plan in time to make sure that going to Vegas was something that Kurt actually wanted to do. 

Adam gave him a quick peck on the cheek and brushed away the admiration with a bright smile and a cheery, “All right then, big spender. If you’re going to treat us to a night on the town, what shall we do with it?  Sky-high roller coasters, Cirque du Soleil, a comedy act, the wax museum, Thundah From Down Undah...”

He hitched his eyebrows as he spoke the final suggestion in an exaggerated Aussie accent, clearly joking, and something about it brought out a streak of mischief in Kurt. “Oooh! That sounds fun!  Let’s do that!”

Adam blinked. “Darling, that’s  . . . you do know it’s a male strip show?”

“Of course I do. I saw their poster in the lobby of our hotel. They’re all sewper hawt , and Rachel will be so jealous, and I can’t wait to tell everyone back home! Can we, Adam? Can we, can we, please?”

Adam had been staring at him blankly, looking as if he was not quite sure he was hearing right. But when Kurt began play-begging, he laughed. “For a moment you had me going, love. I assume you are joking, but if I’m wrong and you really do want to go and see what those fellows are packing down under, we can absolutely do that.”

For a split second Kurt was tempted to accept, suspecting that it would be fun to watch Adam get all overheated and squirmy at the sight of a dozen nearly naked Aussie hunks, but then he laughed. “Who am I kidding? The minute some oiled-up beefcake started thrusting his g-string at us, I’d be so embarrassed I’d spend the rest of the show hiding my face in your shoulder.”

“Doesn’t sound so bad,” Adam said with a fond smile.

“No,” Kurt agreed, “it doesn’t.  But if you don’t mind, the only handsome hunk I want to spend time with tonight is you. Do you mind if we go see Cirque?”

Adam wrapped an arm around his shoulders. “I don’t mind at all.  What do you say we go grab supper first, then we’ll hunt up tickets to whatever performance is playing closest. Or did you have your heart set on a particular one?”

“LOVE?” he said hopefully.  

“The Beatles show?” Adam asked.  When Kurt nodded, he smiled. “Makes sense, given what a fan you are. All right, then. I believe the tourist guide you picked up at the hotel showed a 9 pm performance at the Mirage. You don’t suppose they offer a native Englishman’s discount, do you?”

Kurt beamed. In spite of his country of origin, Adam was not a major fan of the Beatles. Just the same, the idea of seeing a whole show centered around their music clearly did not bother him. It was so nice to be with someone who was willing to give the things Kurt liked a fair try, without immediately arguing for something they liked better. It made him eager to return the favor whenever he could, and he had been rewarded with a number of interesting experiences that he otherwise might have missed. “Probably not, but we can give it a try.”

“All right, then. Let’s go cash in your fortune and grab a bite. Maybe we’ll make one last pass through the casinos on our way back tonight and see if your lucky streak is still in business. How are you at craps?”

“I’m better at poker,” he confessed as they began winding their way through the aisles of slot machines and oblivious gamblers. At Adam’s questioning glance, he said, “I used to play with my dad and his mechanics. They taught me the basics, but Dad says I have a pretty good poker face, and I could usually bluff them all by the time I hit my teens.”

Adam pondered that, studying his boyfriend’s innocent looking features and recalling a few stories he’d heard from Kurt’s former school chums about him backing down bullies twice his size. In his unguarded moments, everything Kurt felt showed in his face, but when he had his guard up?  “I believe it. And I think I’d like to witness your skill at the tables for myself. Just don’t let yourself get caught up in any all-night poker tournaments, hmm?”

“Why not?  Got other plans for me?” he asked with a smile, giving Adam’s waist a firm squeeze. 

“Always,” he returned with a teasing wink. “But in fact, I want you to get a good night’s sleep tonight so you’ll have lots of energy for tomorrow.”

Excitement flared in Kurt’s eyes. “What’s happening tomorrow?”

“It’s a surprise,” he said with maddening nonchalance. Seeing Kurt’s pout, he smiled. “I won’t give it away, but I’ll give you a little hint to chew on. This particular surprise is not mine. The daytime portion comes courtesy of Rachel and Santana. And for the nighttime half, you can thank your dad and step-mum.  Since you couldn’t be with them on your birthday, they all wanted to be sure that you would spend it doing something you’ll love. The girls helped me pack you up an appropriate outfit for tomorrow, since I had directed you to bring only casual wear.”

Equal parts puzzled and intrigued, Kurt fell silent for the rest of the walk out of the casino and out into the warm spring night, as Adam steered him safely along the Strip with a hand planted at the small of his back. 

They made a striking picture walking together. Adam, with his golden blond hair and newly-acquired suntan, firm muscular body showed off to good effect by a tight white cotton button down and jeans; and Kurt with his reddish brown hair and still-pale skin catching the rays of late evening sunshine, tall and slender in his tight black jeans and patterned navy shirt, its sleeves rolled up to show off a pair of nicely defined biceps. 

“I can’t think of anything Dad would get excited about in Vegas,” Kurt admitted at last, coming back to earth as Adam pointed to a neon sign garishly blinking advertisement for a buffet restaurant. He nodded, then finished his thought, “unless they got us tickets to Caesar’s Palace, and I know he’s not sending me to a boxing match!”

Adam’s face remained utterly innocent, but a twitch in his cheek had Kurt asking, “What?”

“Promise you won’t tell Burt I let the cat out of the bag?” Kurt nodded eagerly. “Right location, wrong event.”

Kurt chewed on that clue while Adam paid for two all-inclusive dinners and they took their place in line.  After a moment, he gasped, and by the time they had filled their plates and found a table, he was trembling with suppressed excitement. Staring Adam straight in the eye, he nearly whispered, “Adam, they didn’t. They couldn’t have. Did they?  Adam, are . . . are we going to see Celine tomorrow night?”

A grin he could not keep at bay anymore spread across Adam’s handsome face. “I should have known you would guess it.”

“Oh my God!” Kurt shrieked, clapping a hand over his mouth when the exclamation startling an old couple walking past their table. He called, “Sorry!” then turned back to Adam. “Are you serious?”

He laughed. “Absolutely. The ladies have prepaid a luxury package for you at the day spa attached to our hotel, and I will leave you to their tender mercies for a couple of hours while I check on certain arrangements that I’ve made. Then in the evening, we’ll head over to Caesar’s to see the show.”

The smile on Adam’s face was rather smug, as well it should have been. Kurt could not imagine what he had done to deserve such a wonderful boyfriend. He did not doubt for a moment that it had been Adam who put the thought of buying tickets to one of Kurt’s all time favorite divas into Dad and Carole’s heads. His parents were wonderful people, but their musical taste rarely ventured past the 80′s classic rock station. 

Wishing he felt daring enough to lean across the table and plant kisses all over Adam’s face, Kurt settled for squeezing his hand and saying, “I love you, Adam. Thank you so much for giving me this. And I don’t just mean the concert and things.”

Clearly knowing just what he was trying to say, Adam lifted Kurt’s hand and pressed a kiss to his knuckles. “You’re welcome, darling. Happy Birthday.”

THE END

A/N: I ended it here because I’ve never seen either of the entertainments they’re about to experience, nor do I know how to play poker. So we’ll just imagine they had an amazing time at everything, went home to New York richer in both money and experience, and that Adam is going to get very very lucky for many many nights.  :)

http://documents.gawker.com/jeffrey-epstein-s-little-black-book-1681447470 http://archive.is/qcJEO Don't forget the CDs in Epstein's safe in his Manhattan townhouse. Those were labeled "Young [name] + [name]." You can bet that those second "[names]" are more than a little worried. Then there is the ranch in New Mexico where the NM attorney general is cooperating with the FBI. There is a lot more to this than just Pedo Island. Dustin Hoffman?!?! OH NO NO NO no no no no!!!!! Hook was a pirate that kidnapped children. Please tell me it wasn't a real story. At least let me believe that Robin Williams was trying to save them. It will be hard but they will make a blind eye to most evidence. Remember, Epstein has everyone by their balls, so like in 2008, either those high profile people start working on getting him an excelent deal, or someone is getting doxed.... Epstein will NEVER have more than 5 years jail, and probably at home or in almost private comfy prison It seems like they've got two types they use in this blackmail operation. The first type is rich, powerful, influential, and easily bought with the second type, young, naive, easily swayed with lies. Both of them are the blackmail targets and both of them get used. The powerful ones get placed into positions where their influence can be leveraged whenever and however it is needed. The young ones get supported and raised into media personalities, anchors, actresses, authors, musicians, whatever they want so long as it serves the desired social ends. If you consider that such an operation could have been ongoing for more than one generation, then the implications get a whole lot weirder than they already were. They basically breed with each other and select each other's most attractive offspring to molest and groom for future generations of the cult. In fact, this would go a long way towards explaining why the cult seems to be too stupid to succeed at controlling the world anymore: too much in-breeding. I have been SAYING ALL ALONG that we will one day find that its not just powerful men who are pedos and rapists, but that all powerful people become warped by easy access to every common hedonistic pleasure. As a result, the truly perverse becomes the final frontier of hedonism and indulgence: pedophilia. Satanism rendered art. Or outright claiming intimate and full ownership over another human. And, look, here we are! Barbara fucking Walters and a host of other up-and-up women right next to their disgusting, guilty male counterparts. Hang them all. Alec Baldwin - Page 6 Sir Anthony Bamford - Page 6 Lord & Lady Baumont - Page 10 Tony Blair - Page 11 David Blaine - Page 11 Mike Bloomberg - Page 11 Richard Branson - Page 12 Jimmy Buffet - Page 13 Prince Pierre d'Arengberg - Page 18 Duchess of York - Page 21 Duke of York - Page 21 Ambassador & Lady Fairweather - Page 23 Princess of Firyal of Jordan - Page 24 Lord & Lady Giliford. - Page 27 Lord & Lady Hanson - Page 28 Elizabeth Hurley (as "Liz Hurley") - Page 32 Michael Jackson - Page 33 Mick Jagger - Page 33 Ted Kennedy Jr - Page 35 Senator Ed Kennedy - Page 35 Christoper Lambert - Page 36 Dr. Henry Kissinger - Page 36 Courtney Love (circled) - Page 38 Cheryl Mills - Page 43 Rupert Murdoch - Page 44 Joan Rivers - Page 51 Jessica Rothchild - Page 52 Hannah Rothchild - Page 52 Duke and Duchess Rutland - Page 53 Edouard de Rothschild - Page 53 Evelyn de Rothschild.- Page 53 Saudi Crown Prince Solman - Page 54 Kevin Spacy - Page 56 Peter Soros - Page 56 Baroness Francesca Theilmann - Page 58 Ivanka Trump - Page 59 Donald Trump - Page 60 Chris Tucker - Page 60 Barbara Walters - Page 61 Lord Weldenfield - Page 62 Serena Williams - Page 63 Prince Michael of Yugoslavia - Page 64 Don't just look up the famous people, some of the non house hold names return very interesting data. Lots and lots of businessmen from London and Israel are in here. It seems London, New York and Israel are the sex trafficking capitals of the world My suggest is not to go through the big names. A lot of the non household names are powerful people and those connections reveal more. Every single person in this document has a Wikipedia page, only a select ultra old rich people don't have much of a trace except foundations and events Nobody cares.  Kids are killed at Disney World/Land due to negligence, people still go. Everyone knows there are pedophiles in hollywood, people still pay to see movies. Everyone knows there is something suspicious about how many Nickelodeon girls turn out to be messed up junkies, people still let their kids watch it. Nobody cares. 1000 British girls were raped by shitskins and there were no lynchings.

I’d say NXVIM and Podesta are the two biggest connections these people will have. we know NXVIM is way way way bigger than we’ve discovered so far since it involves the Bronfman daughter. And Podesta/Alefantis have fallen off the map. we also have it confirmed now that Epstein paid women to bring other kids to him which is what the Smallville girl did in NXVIM. HOT SHIT DONTCHA Podesta probably psych-tortures the kids. NXVIM used to recruit recruiters. Shit is all connected.

He is the chairman and CEO of the privately owned Hartz Group based in New York City. The company's real estate portfolio was owned and operated under its Hartz Mountain Industries subsidiary company, of which he is also chairman and CEO

>Stern was born to a Jewish family,[4][5] the son of Hilda (née Lowenthal) and Max Stern.[5] Max Stern was the German-born vice-chairman of the board of trustees of Yeshiva University for whom its Stern College for Women was named. He had emigrated from Weimar Germany to the U.S. in the 1920s after his textile business proved unprofitable, bringing along 2,100 canaries from Germany to sell on the U.S. market. By selling caged birds, bird cages and other pet bird supplies to U.S. pet owners through Woolworth's stores over the next thirty years, Stern's father built up the family business: Hartz Mountain Corporation (HMC), also headquartered in Secaucus, NJ. HMC later grew to become the flagship subsidiary of The Hartz Group. The business was named after the Harz Mountains of Germany. Though Canaries originally come from the Canary Islands the Canaries in trade are the result of selective breeding by farms located at Harz.

Just drop the child rape sex slavery trafficking stats relentlessly and they’ll shut up fast.

“Women are wonderful” effect. no one wants to think women, the nurturing motherly caregivers of our children, are capable of the horrors they can commit when they’re emotionally convinced it’s justifed. ask yourself how it’s possible that with modern medical technology and knowledge SIDS is just a totally unexplainable random thing that looks a whole lot like a baby being suffocated in its crib in its sleep in the middle of the night by a frustrated emotional mother. Never find a kid dead from SIDS in the middle of a grocery store at 2 in the afternoon with witnesses around, funny that.

Daisy’s destruction had a female participant that was just as sadistic as the man. Smallville actress was bringing in children for sex slavery. Female child abusers are some of the most sadistic.

One Piece: World Seeker Review

One Piece has had very little luck when it comes to the world of video games. Does One Piece: World Seeker change that, or should you wait for it to hit the bargain bin? Check out our review and find out what we thought.

One Piece World Seeker Review

One Piece: World Seeker starts off with the Straw Hat Pirates attempting to steal some treasure from a place called Sky Prison. While the crew does get in, it proves to be a trap, and the Warden was ready for Luffy and his friends. After a brief fight with the Warden, Luffy and the others jump down to the Island below to escape the trap. Down here, Luffy meets up with a woman named Jeanne who helps him escape the sea and brings him to Prison Island. She helps him find his crew so he can plan his next move. While searching for Chopper, Luffy finds out that the island has its fair share of problems, and decides to lend a hand while searching for the rest of the Straw Hat Pirates.

You quickly discover that there is a conflict brewing between the Anti-Navy supporters and the Pro-Navy supporters. This conflict has been escalating lately, and the villagers on the island are beginning to suffer from it. Being as the Navy is on the island, you have a run in with many of Luffy’s enemies such as Smoker and the Navy Admirals. Other familiar faces will make appearances as well, aside from all the Strawhats (minus Jinbe). While all of these people aren’t always directly attached to the conflict, most of them have side missions for you to complete. If you are a fan of One Piece, you will probably be more interested in their stories over the main story of the game.

The game itself is an open world action RPG. The open world is pretty small, but you won’t find a better place to play in the One Piece world. The biggest downside is that you can only play as Luffy; everyone else just makes appearances. Still, the game does an excellent job of making the characters feel like they do in the anime and manga. For instance, Zoro gets lost for a side mission, and you have to find him. Every direction you are told to go, Zoro ends up going in the opposite direction. Nami has treasure missions, Robin has archaeologist missions, Chopper has missions to help the Islanders with medicine, and Usopp and Franky have missions about building equipment.

Side quests from your crew mates are among some of the better missions in the game. Sadly, the same cannot be said for most of the random NPC Islander missions. These are often collection missions, or missions that involve you beating down some enemy pirates or Navy guys. It can get very repetitive very quickly. You are not forced to do these, but there is a Karma system in place for your allies. To improve Karma for the Anti-Navy or Pro-Navy groups, you will need to do some of these boring side missions. Other tasks include beating up X amount of Pirates or Navy guys, collecting X amount of items, or performing special moves on bosses.

The combat in the does do a good job of making you feel like Luffy, but it is still limited. You can use Armament Haki, Observation Haki, and Conqueror’s Presence Haki for battle. You can also use Red Hawk, Eagle Storm and Elephant Gatling Gun for special moves. Your basic attacks, however, are, well, basic. You do the same combos over and over again with your regular attacks. I found myself using the ranged attacks more often than the basic attacks just because it was quicker than basic fighting. The biggest issue I had with the combat is the lack of a lock-on system. Some of these enemies are fast, and you will have a hard time keeping up properly. There is a button that gets you back onto your target, but it is not a proper lock-on. Gear 4 is in the game, but the rest are absent.

The game itself is only about 15-20 hours long, depending on if you play the side missions or not. I didn’t run into any bugs or any crashes during my play through either. There is no English dub for the game, so you will have to rock the subtitles here. The game also is not fully voiced; only certain scenes and cutscenes are fully voiced. It’s personally not a big deal, but I know some people care about that stuff.

One Piece fans will be able to overlook World Seeker’s issues, but those not as big on the series won’t miss much by skipping this title.

This review of One Piece: World Seeker Review was done on the PlayStation 4 Pro. A game code was provided by the publisher.

Model alien creature pirates in ZBrush

Model alien creature pirates in ZBrush

How to sculpt small realistic details to complete the face of a strange creature.

To help you learn how to create an alien 3D pirate character, I will show you how I molded my kianic face, Vorroc (above) and put it in a sexy mode. ZBrush is the main weapon of choice because of many sculpture tools, and as a rule, with pleasure in sculpture. I will also use Maya, painter painter and V-Ray.

I will share with you some of the methods I use in everyday modeling and visual conceptual work. Over the past 13 years, she has worked in numerous movies, gaming studios and commercials, as a three-dimensional fashion designer, a textile artist and an artist. Now I specialize in the field of creatures, but before I became digitally, I was working as a traditional artist, artist and makeup artist.

01. Do some major form sculpting

Start carving your face to the extent that it contains all the basic shapes, including large wrinkles on the front, large breasts and functions that destroy the silhouette and light pool.

02. Cut large wrinkles.

For larger wrinkles such as forehead wrinkles, trim the lines with the standard Dam, place the brush on the top level of your grid, drop one or two levels and use the Inflate brush to assemble the folds. Switch to the highest level and use the brush and a little string to finish.

03. Collection of Alpha Library

Now you are ready to add some more subtle details, such as pores, fine wrinkles, warts and stretch marks. For this, we will use a set of ZBrush alphabet and hand carving.

Erotic, surface imitation and XYZ have excellent alpha for sale on their sites. There are also many free alpha available online, for example, from the Pixologic download center. I suggest you create your own alpha library, which you can get, and take it with you to every post for reuse in future projects.

For skin I would do a skin shading test done by Z-Blush or Blaine's default WaxPreview 30 color material. This will give you a better idea of ​​how the carving works on the skin, not just using a type of mineral or stone material.

We will help with the ZLBR and customize the make of Globals: SmoothNormals on, JSC on set 0,5, WaxPreview on, Shadow shadow review 95, Blur 6, Radiation 64 and Power AO review 0.5, Corrosion 4.

04. Reduce your model

If the image is more than that and you do not want to handle bread from the offset, reduce the form using Keep UVs, if your model contains UVs.

05. Make final renderings in V-Ray

For testing, make the best offer in the final offer, which will be used as soon as possible. This project is a V-Ray project, so I'll do a test in V-Ray - just to make sure the pop details are as I want. This is when it is good to have the details engraved on a layer in ZBrush, so you can get the small detail density up and down as needed.

06. Improve your staging

Having your personality in good standing is a prerequisite for creating an attractive image. An interesting situation would help to bring your personality to life and let you know what it is and how it moves.

07. Download ZBrush

Download the neutral model in ZBrush. To make life easier I combine a mesh-shaped suit, combining a gun as a mesh, then I have a body, teeth, eyes and tongue.

08. Get setup

Download the ZPlugin menu and click Transpose Master. If you want, you can run Grps to reserve polygons and layer to make a layer on one object. This can be useful later if you want to use Morph Brush in x mode.

Hit TPoseMesh. This is best used instead of installing ZSphere when I find this method faster, and you have precise control over how the mesh curvature. Now you will notice that your network is displayed as one network in the Subtool menu, which is good.

09. Hide and Corruption

Now we will use a series of hide / hide geo location and clipping as well as the Transpose tool to create our creation. A handy quick key is to press Ctrl + Shift, then right-click on the grid to hide everything except the ones you clicked.

10. Use the Transpose Line tool

Press W to open the Transpose Line tool in ZBrush 4R7. In ZBrush 4R8, to switch from 3D Gizmo to Transpose Line, press Y or click the Circle icon.

12. Transfer masks

To drag the mask, hold down Ctrl and left-click on the edge of the grid inside to create a mask that follows the shape of the object. I pulled the Hide Toolbars buttons in the main interface, because I used them a lot.

For example, you can develop a mask with the help of magnifier button for mask or illustration, then growth, then opacity. Ctrl + I reflects the mask.

13. Try a quick setting

I tend to do large forms of position in the first place, such as turning the thigh or left / lean step, then small ones, for example, with a finger curvature. I offer to do some tests (side face, etc.), and then find the position you want, screenrabbing, then return and re-as wished, without parts or penetration of the stretch.

Sometimes, if you already know the situation you want, you can print it on the first attempt without this process, but I usually check for some settings first.

14. Add a ground plane

I recommend having a ground plane in your scene so you can lift the bottom of the foot to the ground. It is easier for me to simulate the flat plane in Maya and push the outer edges slightly downwards so that you can see the outline of the earth with the spelling display in Maya. If it is flat, it will disappear in the side view.

Two Sons Restored their Late Father’s 1972 Cutlass in his Honor.

This Radiant Green ‘72 Cutlass was originally ordered by a father and is now owned by his sons, and serves as their tribute to him.

Look up the word “Cutlass” in a dictionary and you’ll find it defined as a short curved sword most commonly associated with sailors or pirates. Some of the earliest examples are quite elaborate, which adds desirability amongst antique collectors. And those with some sort of historical significance, whether tied to a person or an event, are even more coveted.

Before you is a different type of Cutlass—one made by Oldsmobile. While it certainly isn’t a weapon, some consider its appearance lethal. Although it was produced in 1972 and may not be an antique in the traditional sense, its value to owners Ben and Dustin Allemann is far more than money could ever buy. You see, their Cutlass is a family heirloom. It wasn’t passed down from one generation to the next in as common a method as you might first assume, however. Here’s the scoop.

Rodger Allemann grew up in a rural area near Wayne, Nebraska, and he moved to that city after graduating trade school to become a diesel mechanic. One summer day in 1972, he walked into Coryell Chevrolet-Oldsmobile in Wayne and on the showroom floor sat a 1972 Cutlass S in code-36 Radiant Green exterior complemented by a white vinyl top and black and white interior. It had been ordered by the dealership’s sales manager, Ed Carroll as a stock order.

The Cutlass was equipped with an L32 350-ci small-block V-8 with 2-barrel carburetor and a column-shifted TH350 automatic transmission. It boasted a host of typical convenience options such as power steering and brakes, air conditioning, and AM radio. Attractive, sporty, and comfortable, Rodger fell in love with the vibrant Olds and purchased it on June 16, 1972.

It seemed that Rodger and his new Cutlass were inseparable. He added a set of E-T Slotted Mag cast-aluminum wheels and HiJackers air shocks out back in the months that followed. A certain young lady took notice of Rodger as he drove his flashy Olds around Wayne and the neighboring countryside. Remember Ed Carroll, the dealership sales manager that ordered the Oldsmobile? Well, the young lady wanting to know about Rodger was Ed’s daughter, Deb.

“She orchestrated a ‘random’ run-in with Rodger,” explained Ben. “The plan involved boating, a summer party, and meeting at Gavin’s Point Dam in South Dakota, and it worked!”

The Oldsmobile played a continuous role in Rodger and Deb’s courtship. “A first kiss, a questionable joke from their friends about wedding night beer cans strung from the rear bumper after their first date, and return trips to Gavin’s Point Dam pulling the boat all involved the Cutlass S,” Ben added.

Rodger and Deb married on Valentine’s Day 1976. The couple drove away from their reception in the Cutlass and honeymooned in Estes Park, Colorado in that car. In 1977, Ed Carroll helped his daughter and new son-in-law replace the Cutlass with a new Monte Carlo. Wayne resident, Kirk Sommerfeld knew of the Cutlass and purchased it as his new daily driver.

To the couple, sons Dustin and Ben were born. Sadly, the young father passed away in 1987 at just 34 years old. Dustin was six years of age, and Ben was only one. The Allemann family kept Rodger’s spirit alive and many of the stories that Dustin and Ben heard about their father involved the Cutlass. “Kirk worked at a place near our house so we saw him driving it nearly every day” said Ben. “We knew it was our dad’s old car so we would stop by every so often and ask if we could sit in it.” Those experiences only fueled their interest to someday buy it back.

Knowing what owning Rodger’s Cutlass would mean to their boys, Deb kept in regular contact with Kirk. In 1999, their dream came true. “My mom made Kirk an offer and she was able to buy it back for $2,000. That was a risky move for a single mother with two boys, but she did it for us. The car was very complete, but was in need of a restoration after having been a daily driver for 28 years,” says Ben.

The Cutlass immediately went to a local body shop where its rusty panels were replaced and a basic coat of Radiant Green was applied just so the boys could drive it. Deb funded the project for her boys by working many overtime hours. Dustin and Ben worked part-time jobs to contribute, too. “Dave and Myrna Tuttle were my mom’s friends. We didn’t have a lot of money growing up and Dave always invited us to his home shop and helped us keep the car running,” says Ben.

By the mid-2000s the Cutlass had amassed more than 140,000 miles and was fast becoming mechanically unreliable. “Dustin was working out of state and I was just entering college,” explained Ben, “so we placed the car into storage in 2005, and it sat until 2015 when the storage facility was sold. It was then that we decided to begin a complete restoration.”

Mike Brudigam and Ryan Heiser of Tom’s Body and Paint Shop in Wayne handled the body and paint work. “The body was completely disassembled, media blasted, and placed onto a rotisserie where the entire floor pan was replaced along with the front fenders and hood. Bryan and Sam Park, and Tom, Dan and Doug Rose of Tom’s Body and Paint Shop assisted on the project as well as Dean Carroll.

Evercoat exterior refinishing products were used exclusively. Edge DTM high-build primer was applied first, and that was followed by three-coats of ChromaPremier Pro primer. Three coats of ChromaPremier Pro base in Radiant Green then went down and it was complemented by five coats of ChromaPremier Pro clear. The topcoat was wet sanded using papers with grit ranging from 400 to 5,000 before final polishing.

Ben decided to create a high-end interior that was relatively indistinguishable from the Cutlass’ original. He turned to Garek Bebee of Rezurrected Rod and Kustom in Wayne to create a customized interior inspired by the original white and black combination. Bebee fashioned a white Ultraleather seat cover that mimicked the bench seat’s original. Randal Weber Custom Woodworking of Bennett, Nebraska created the genuine crosscut walnut inserts to replace the faux woodgrain stickers on the instrument panel and door panels.

The original Oldsmobile stereo case was restored by S&M Electro-Tech in Blaine, Minnesota. It was upgraded internally with Bluetooth capability for modern sound. JBL Amp 6 x 9-inch speakers are located within the package tray and Rockford Fosgate speakers are mounted in the front kick panels. Classic Instruments in Boyne City, Michigan custom created factory-looking oil pressure and temperature gauges that are hidden within the ashtray compartment.

Corey Schlegelmilch of Donrich Machine and Driveline in Exeter, Nebraska took on the task of rebuilding the engine. The original 350 ci block was bored 0.030-inch oversize, and its cylinders were filled with forged Speed Pro pistons. The main and rod journals of the original cast-Nodular iron crankshaft were undersized by 0.010-inch each and ride on Clevite bushings. The original connecting rods were treated to ARP fasteners and resized accordingly. A stock-replacement Melling oil pump resides in a Milodon oil pan.

Erson supplied a custom-spec hydraulic roller camshaft that features 226/234 degrees of duration and 0.544-inch valve lift with Comp Cams’ 1.6:1 ratio roller rocker arms, an LSA of 110 degrees, an intake centerline at 106 degrees, and a 4/7 swap. Erson hydraulic roller lifters and Smith Brothers heavy-wall push rods in 8.1-inch length transfer lobe action to a set of Edelbrock Performer RPM cylinders heads. Donrich Machine mildly ported the aluminum castings and gasket-matched the intake ports with those of the Edelbrock RPM intake manifold. New Comp Cams valve springs were combined with the 2.072/1.68-inch Ferrea valves that Edelbrock supplied. The compression ratio measures 9.6:1.

Steve Schappaugh of Musclecar Memories Restorations in Lincoln, Nebraska was enlisted to complete the mechanical and chassis portion of the restoration, as well as final assembly, where technician Brendan Nielsen led the project. “The original frame was cracked, so we found a factory boxed frame from a ’69 Cutlass convertible to replace it with,” said Ben. “Musclecar Memories Restorations contacted the product development team at Speedway Motors in Lincoln, who used the replacement frame as their prototype to create an autocross chassis package with.”

The team at Musclecar Memories Restorations also installed a Holley Terminator fuel-injection system onto the small-block Olds. It’s fed by an Aeromotive Phantom Stealth 340 fuel pump assembly that’s tucked away in the original fuel tank. Aeromotive also supplied the fuel lines, fittings, and pressure regulator. A GMB water pump, BECOOL aluminum radiator, and dual electric fans maintain coolant temperature. An MSD Pro-Billet distributor, 6AL box and 8.5mm Super Conductor wires handle ignition duty. The MSD box and Holley fuel injection control module are hidden within inside the dash panel.

“When people hear the story of our car, they tend to focus on my father, which is very important,” Ben explained, “but what actually made this possible was a single mother who worked three jobs for 20 years to provide for her two boys so that they could own a piece of their family’s history. Without that, it wouldn’t have happened.”

The Cutlass was finished in 2016. All the while, Dustin and Ben had kept its completion from their mother. Assisted by Deb’s husband, Dennis Dannelly, they surprised her at The Last Fling ‘Til Spring car show in West Point Nebraska that fall. Ben stated, “We told her that Steve and his team at Musclecar Memories Restorations were unveiling another recent restoration, but it turned out that they unveiled the Cutlass. She was known for being quiet the prankster, so it was good that we were able to pull one over on her, but she was really emotional, and we were too.”

What Ben says he likes best about the Cutlass is its unique, one-year-only color. “Nobody can believe that it’s a stock GM color from ’72. We built it to drive hard, and do so as often as possible. We spend a lot of time on the interstate and cruising the backroads of Nebraska. We hope to autocross it soon, too.”

Having little opportunity to know their father outside of childhood, the Cutlass has become a family heirloom that gives Dustin and Ben a solid connection to Rodger. “We tried to restore it in a way that resembles the past but performs to modern expectations. We invested a significant amount of time and money getting it to this level, but it didn’t matter to us because the car will never be sold.”

Those old enough to remember the ‘80s should recall Olds’ popular the marketing campaign that was built around the slogan “This isn’t your father’s Oldsmobile.” Well, to Dustin and Ben Allemann, it really is. And it’s certain that he couldn’t be any prouder of their accomplishment with it!

Dustin and Ben Allemann’s father had purchased this 1972 Olds Cutlass S new that June. It was an important part of his life, and the boys sought to make it part of their lives after he lost his battle with cancer. It has been completely restored and modified for added comfort and performance, and serves a tribute to him after his untimely passing.

The Cutlass S was one of several models that Oldsmobile offered on its intermediate A-body line. Restyled for the 1968 model year, the 1968-72 Cutlass profile is iconic and remains endeared to fans of the muscle car area.

The Cutlass was treated to a wide array of aftermarket sheet metal during the restoration that includes an entire floor pan, rocker panels and rear quarters. The hood and fenders were replaced with panels from a donor while the doors and deck lid remain the originals. Beyond the larger wheel and tire combination, little on the outside suggests that this is anything but a typical ’72 Cutlass.

The Cutlass was originally equipped with the two-spoke N30 Deluxe Steering Wheel. The stylish N34 Custom Sport Steering Wheel was added during the restoration. The original “Tic-Toc-Tac” in the right gauge pod. The woodgrain overlay is genuine walnut. A Hurst shifter controls gear changes within the five-speed manual transmission.

A stock interior appearance was faithfully recreated during the restoration. Several components were upgraded in the process to add a greater touch of class. The seats are covered in Ultraleather that was stitched to match the original pattern. The dash pad was also covered in black Ultraleather. The door panels contain genuine walnut inserts.

A Vintage Air unit keeps occupants cool during the humid Nebraska summers.

The original small-block Olds was completely rebuilt. Performance was increased with the addition of Edelbrock’s cast-aluminum Performer RPM cylinder heads and intake manifold. Beneath the Moon air cleaner assembly is a Holley electronic fuel injection system. Exhaust is routed through a set of ceramic-coated Heddman shorty headers, a 2.5-inch mandrel-bent exhaust system and MagnaFlow mufflers that dump ahead of the rear axle.

The Cutlass was originally equipped with the TH350 automatic transmission. A Legend Gear LGT-700 five-speed manual transmission sourced from Bowler Performance Transmission in Lawrenceville, Illinois resides in its place. It’s complemented by a QuickTime blow-proof bellhousing and 11-inch Centerforce Dual Friction clutch disc and pressure plate assembly. The stock driveshaft was modified accordingly.

The upper and lower tubular control arms, 0.875-inch front sway bar, 16:1 steering gear, and steering links were supplied by Speedway Motors. The suspension upgrades are complemented by a Tuff Stuff power steering pump and Wilwood brake components. Adjustable front-coil-over assemblies from QA1 were employed to attain the ideal ride height.

Speedway Motors supplied the rear springs, shock absorbers, and 0.875-inch rear sway bar. Wilwood four-piston brake calipers handle stopping duty. A 3.73:1 gear set from Yukon Gear resides in the Cutlass’ original rear axle. A reproduction W27 cover increases capacity and heat dissipation.

Schott Wheels in Garden Grove, California created a custom set of Oldsmobile’s Super Stock I wheel in 18 x 10-inch. The billet-aluminum rims are complemented by Nitto G2 tires in 275/40R18 (front) and 295/40R18 (rear).

The Cutlass’ ornamental hood louvers were a signature feature that were removed and restored during the project.
