This past Saturday LOVELAND hosted The Big Inch Block Party. Which was awesome and a half. It was so Bad Ass that even my Mom (who is for those of you who didn’t know, also *Mary Carter*) attended! And LOOK! we’re even both drinking Motor City Mary’s by McClure’s Pickles and Valentine Vodka!

Our floor in the Russel Industrial Center is occupied by 3 beautiful short skinny girls with dark hair. And it’s not uncommon for me to be expected to respond to the names “Kelly” or “Mandy”, nor for them to hear “Hello, Mary!” as they walk down the hall to their studios. See if you can tell the difference .

This Motor City Bad Ass went to New York. Here’s some highlights:

So we all know how cool smoking is, really, light up one of those grandma killers, and you’re a total *Bad Ass*.
As you may already know, last Friday, May 1st, 2010, the state of Michigan went non-smoking. Which meant attendance of “The Funeral For The Fag” at PJ’s Lager House was mandatory. There was a marching band and a giant cigarette and a preacher, it was a *Bad Ass* event.
So, Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the last of cigarettes in the Motor City, *Bad Ass* Style.

And, yes, Mother, I know I look stupid.

For some time now Jerry and I have been compiling images of me, Mary Carter, as Motor City Bad Ass. We have been enjoying them so much and feel that we can no longer keep them to ourselves… So, here’s a few of the highlights but, by no means the entirety of the catalog. You’ve been warned, so, you ready for this?
