Lugosi 2:3 Farewell to Eden

What, you’re still here?

Aren’t you happy, Mudpie?


Oh, I’m happy. Very happy.


HEY! Aren’t there any escalators around here?
Sigh. He just makes me want to cry.

Shikai Hitasura!

The trip ends here.

THANK GOD. Where’s the fucking ex–

–shiiiiit!

There, Magpie.

Are you happy now?
Sir Lugosi …

I’m so happy I could cry.
The end.

The Pinto Gallery, where these photos were taken, is located in Antipolo, Philippines. We’d like to take Mr. Jojo Ballo for welcoming us into this secret paradise.
Lugosi’s outfit, The Parting of the Red Sea, is a custom design by our dear friends, Mae and Djinn of Tangled Web.
The Parting of the Red Sea is not complete without Mae’s delightful tutorial.
The unhappy tourist, Shikai Hitasura, was sent here (against his will) by the webcomic artist, Leigh Bader.

Happy Shikai shot!

BRAVO!
Wonderful like always, Joey. Your stories and photograhy inspire dreams.
May 26th, 2007 - 03:09
That’s so heartwarming to know. Thank you, Mathilde.
May 20th, 2007 - 05:35
Hey, why is Lugosi suddenly so sweet to Magpie? WHAT DOES MANX HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THIS?
AND WHERE’S MY UNO?? T____T I MISS HIM!
May 26th, 2007 - 03:11
I’m right here but you can’t see meeeee.
Manx is currently speechless with rage.
May 20th, 2007 - 05:46
AHAHAHAHAHA XDDDDD Oh Shikai, I just love grumps.
I noticed that Lugosi’s best facial expression is when he’s angry =3 And oh, Joey, did he come up with the name “Magpie”?
May 26th, 2007 - 03:13
Yes, Lugosi did come up with the name Magpie. It’s much better than Sweety Pie, don’t you think?
May 26th, 2007 - 05:24
I think it’s adorable =D
May 20th, 2007 - 06:38
Now Magpie and her Sir Lugosi can finally enjoy their paradise in quiet
Magpie must be so very happy and Shikai too *g*
May 26th, 2007 - 03:14
Shikai must be throwing a party right now in the US.
May 20th, 2007 - 13:37
The 4th photo could be like a magazine ad for an expensive perfume or something. It’s so pretty! ^_^
I never knew Lugosi can be sweet.
May 26th, 2007 - 03:16
He’s high, Lauren. When he crashes back to reality, he’ll be back to his old grumpy self. So let’s cherish this moment, shall we?
Thank you! I’m glad you liked Magpie’s photo.
May 20th, 2007 - 17:24
What happened to Shikai? o.o’
Lugosi is so sweet to Magpie. ^^ What does Manx think about this? Does she know about it?
May 26th, 2007 - 03:19
Shikai was zapped out of Lugosi’s hallucinatory paradise.
Lugosi can be sweet when he’s high. It’s best that Manx never knows about this, okay? Hush.

Krishna: I want a wallpaper of the 4th pic!!!
Tin: I want a wallpaper of the 3rd pic!!!
Krishna: I want both!!!!
Tin: *looks at lower right end of 8th picture* WHAT THE HECK IS THAT?!
I wanna watch Shikai do the happy dance as illustrated in the final picture!
Krishna: Boobies!
Tin: But Shikai does not look happy. More like confused.
May 26th, 2007 - 03:28
Tin: *looks at lower right end of 8th picture* WHAT THE HECK IS THAT?!
Oh, that’s not Manx. Those are just boobs. Haute art boobs.
May 20th, 2007 - 20:32
The 11th shot felt “holy” *A*
That last photo….. LOL
May 26th, 2007 - 03:34
You can’t fight this urge to make fun of Shikai. It’s his face. It’s all “Damn, I’m cool. You can’t make fun of me.” But you just have to!
May 21st, 2007 - 01:41
So even the Lord Lugosi has a soft side. Lucky, lucky Magpie. *___*
And OMG Shikai. XD
May 27th, 2007 - 03:40
So even the Lord Lugosi has a soft side.
Or maybe this is all just a hallucination, Mayo. It’s hard to tell these days.
May 21st, 2007 - 10:59
waaah, i wish i can spend some time with lugosi-sama, too! *___*
May 27th, 2007 - 03:43
Are you sure? He’s not that fun to be with, unless you’re into experimental rock and wrestling entertainment. XP
May 21st, 2007 - 12:43
Oh noes~ Where did Shikai disappear to? o.O
Lugosi being this sweet to Magpie feels weird…
(Well, Lugosi being sweet is weird to me so.. :p )
Manx doesn’t know about this I gather?
I can’t wait to see what happens next
May 27th, 2007 - 03:46
Where did Shikai disappear to? o.O
Back to reality, I suppose. This is all a hallucination, anyways – including Lugosi being sweet to Magpie. We all know Lugosi has no heart except for the one tattooed on his chest.
May 22nd, 2007 - 08:04
Lugosi looks a vision. *_* Mae does it again!
*watches Shikai frolic (?) in the distance* XD
I love the ending shot of Lugosi and Magpie – it’s like a not-wedding photo.
May 27th, 2007 - 03:50
Where the groom’s gown is more elaborate that the bride’s?
We’re extremely proud to own a Mae one-off.
May 22nd, 2007 - 13:28
i liked the last photo
May 27th, 2007 - 03:50
Thank you.
May 22nd, 2007 - 13:44
The 11th pic reminded me of Yankumi of Gokusen for some odd reason… XD
Shikai makes me go ‘aww’ on his happy pic x3
May 27th, 2007 - 03:52
Yankumi of Gokusen? *googles* Hmm. How … odd.
May 22nd, 2007 - 16:29
mudpie…
guffaw…
gago…
May 27th, 2007 - 03:55
Mudpie my bloomers.
May 23rd, 2007 - 13:22
hahaha! nahulog siya?
May 27th, 2007 - 03:53
More like he was zapped out of this drug-induced hallucination, Devil Mom.
May 24th, 2007 - 00:02
the 4th photo is really beautiful, it should be a cover for some fashion mag or sumthing…! and the 3rd one is sweet and romantic…. never thought sir bella has a soft side for anyone aside from himself… but i wonder how sexy manx will react with those pics…
shikai is so cute!! i worship thee, Lord Lugosi…
May 27th, 2007 - 03:56
Thank you! Glad you liked the photos!
