Early last month we shared with you a gallery of Kate Upton’s Bikini-Busting In The History Of The Circus, modeling the entirety of the LOLA Cruise 2012 Collection.

While nearly every professionally-shot photo that appears on the Internet or magazines is touched up in some way these days, the implication here, as it has been before, is that Sports Illustrated model and America’s Best Girl™ Kate doesn’t look in real life like she does in these photos.

To disprove that implication, I present to you the live-action video from the LOLA Cruise shoot, courtesy of my favorite place to watch the Mr. Skin Minute, Egotastic. You can still claim that it’s all about angles, or that the black and white footage washes out 19-year old girl’s imperfections, but I think a more realistic theory is that she’s perfect and you should shut up.

Meet Captain Mic, a true buccaneer at heart.

Mic’s wife stamps hundreds of those bags every year and fills them with treasure for all the kids (chocolate doubloons and candy gems inside).

On an ordinary day the house looks like this:

For Halloween, Mic transforms it into a pirate ship!  This was last year’s version, he built the bow, raised the mast, hoisted the sails, and took over as Captain of the Mourning Star. 

iPhone pictures do not do her justice, the “ship” is simply incredible! All the kids in town love this stop along the trick-or-treat trail.

Skeleton pirates fire the homemade cannon (check out the chain and rope details) and they walk the plank that Mic also constructed, aarrgghh. 

To get to the door, you must pass through this skull arbor, beware! 

On the lawn is this coffin raft he built, I love all of the details, the pulley, the ropes, the bamboo oar, and the rat!

Captain Mic pulls out an old rowboat and fills it with another skeleton pirate.

Get near the front door to ask for candy and this scurvy dog awaits.

Mic definitely gets in the spirit of Halloween with his incredible pirate ship house! It’s fantastic by day, but veeery spooky at night, all lit up with his pirate music playing.

Mic couldn’t be nicer and the kids love the big show. He definitely gets my vote for the Coolest Neighbor Award.  Got any spooktacular Halloween houses in your neighborhood?

Set in Mississippi during the 1960s, The Help stars Emma Stone (star of the breakout hit, Zombieland) as Skeeter, a southern society girl who returns from college determined to become a writer, but turns her friends’ lives-and a small Mississippi town-upside down when she decides to interview the black women who have spent their lives taking care of prominent southern families. Academy Award® nominee Viola Davis (Eat Pray Love) stars as Aibileen, Skeeter’s best friend’s housekeeper, who is the first to open up-to the dismay of her friends in the tight-knit black community. Despite Skeeter’s life-long friendships hanging in the balance, she and Aibileen continue their collaboration and soon more women come forward to tell their stories-and as it turns out, they have a lot to say. Along the way, unlikely friendships are forged and a new sisterhood emerges, but not before everyone in town has a thing or two to say themselves when they become unwittingly-and unwillingly-caught up in the changing times.

Plot:
Officially, Apollo 17, launched December 17th, 1972, was the last manned mission to the moon. But a year later, in December of 1973, two American astronauts were sent on a secret mission to the moon funded by the US Department of Defense. What you are about to see is the actual footage which the astronauts captured on that mission. While NASA denies its authenticity, others say it’s the real reason we’ve never gone back to the moon.

Today, With Leather readers, is one of those wonderful days when I get to share with you a brand new Kate Upton photoshoot. This one is for the LOLA Cruise 2012 Collection, and the pictures are so good I am going to buy a gross of swimsuits and leave them to rot in a storage unit somewhere just to say how grateful I am to the designers.

Transformers 3 : Dark of the Moon Teaser Trailer – Official (HD)

The war on Cybertron between the Autobots and Decepticons appears lost. The leader of the Autobots, Sentinel Prime, attempts to launch the Ark from their planet, with technology that could have saved his kind. It gets attacked and crashes on Earth’s moon in 1961, when President John F. Kennedy makes his famous promise to the nation to put a man on the moon. The 1969 NASA moon landing is actually an investigation of the wrecked spacecraft. As Sam Witwicky goes into adulthood and tries to move on from Mikaela, the Autobots learn of a Cybertronian spacecraft on the Moon. They race against the Decepticons to be first to find it and learn its secrets.

Rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for intense prolonged sequences of sci-fi action violence, mayhem, destruction and for language, some sexuality and innuendo.

Executive Food Editor Todd Coleman shows us an amazing trick for peeling an entire head of garlic in less than 10 seconds — no acrid fingernails, no knife required.

What you’ll need:
2 deep bowls of equal size

How it works:
Smash the head of garlic with the heel of your hand.
Sweep the cloves into one bowl.
Invert the second bowl over the top of the first bowl.
Hold the bowls together where the rims meet and shake the dickens out of them.

The dream of enjoying cookies and milk—or cookies and ice cream—at the same time is real, and all you need to do it is cookie dough and a muffin tin. Flip the muffin tin over, form the cookie dough around the cups instead of inside it, and bake the tin upside down. When the dough is cooked through, you’ll have cookie cups, ready for any delicious filling.

You don’t have to use pre-made cookie dough for this trick: cookie maker Wilton actually has the recipe for these sugar cookie bowls on their site. They also happen to sell cookie bowl “pan,” but you can use any upturned muffin tin and your own favorite cookie recipe to make this work.

What do you think, delicious-looking or crazy? What would you fill the cups with? Leave your thoughts in the comments below.
